Look I just want to point out that I do apreciate the few individuals whom take the time to do CCP's job and properly relay the information back to the mass majority here. I do, and I think it's kind of you few to do so, but I have to continuesly point out how horrible it is that CCP is unwilling to amend the situation or properly afford the time to relay the information officially themselves. As I have said in the past and again recently before this in another thread -- by the time they relay the information officially we've had a couple weeks and several long threads to discuss the current affairs ourselves here on the forums. To me that is **** poor, and a lack of professionalism. They can use whatever tools they want, but if you are not going to recognize how inept they are at communicating properly to the majority of us then you need to pull your head out of their arse. I'm not saying they are not good developers. I just think they drop the ball when it comes to the things that matter most when it involves a game beyond code. It's not a wonder why so many EVE Online players over the last near decade (now) get upset. They do not talk. They just sort of let you know at the last minute and let you get hit in the face with what they did.
If you wanna talk about using the proper tools the IRC aside the forums, and e-mail are their biggest tools to letting the mass majority know what is going on. Especially since they have all of e-mail adresses, and a proper forum for which to post proper documentation, and information. The IRC to me is like twitter.. It should never be taken seriously, or used seriously for real information. Again I thank the few community individuals for relaying and posting what they get out of CCP themselves, but the fact remains that CCP is lackluster when it comes to communicating. If you judge a resturant based on the whole from food, to staff, and service; or an NFL team based on the players, and how they play together, and how their coach communicates, and properly supports his players; then I digress to the fact that CCP needs to work on this area especially.
Whatever.. I just needed to speak my mind. Not that it does any good. Just another dead beaten horse to throw to the mound with the rest. Sad really. |

I'm not crucifying you, Iron Wolf Saber. I'm not. I'm upset at CCP -- simple as that.
All that has been proven to me though is that IRC is clunky, out of the way, time consuming to get to, and oh yeah.. It's bloody twitter. They need to get some priorities straight, and use the people they pay instead of relying on word of mouth from a twitter chat box to hear. Now do not get me wrong. Atleast someone cares enough to actually do CCP's damn job for them. I have thank you personally several times infact, Iron Wolf Saber, and I still do. You and the few others provide us with more information monthly then CCP. That though is pathetic when you think about it.. You are essentially doing someone elses job whom is paid to do these things. People lay excuses all they want on CCP, but at the end of the day it falls on them.
As for the IRC itself? It's twitter, hard to get to without the right information or someone kind enough to help you out in finding the proper links, and stickies. Then you have to consider that most business servers, and/or schools are not going allow the IRC. Prohibiting the IRC entirely. Infact I've had to go through proxy sites, and servers to get on here when at work, or on another county, state, business server. It's not a convenient place to get to like the forums here were. Beyond that not many people enjoy IM, or twitter.. Okay let me amend that. Outside of tweens for the most part most people do not enjoy twitter. I mean back in my day we did not have these fancy forums. We had a primitive BBS (Bulletin Board System) and that was it on the net. Chat rooms, and forums evolved from that primordial ooze. Just saying the forums here cover the most people outside of e-mailing us -- they do have all of our e-mails -- and is more convenient and recognized as an official channel over the IRC. Which I believe is what? Third party by C3?
So do not get me wrong. I am grateful to those willing to put up with the IRC, the inconvenience, and act as a sort of suedo popparatzi relaying information as best they can, but man defending CCP when they clearly need to work on something is just asanine. |
