Hey guys,
I just wanted to make this post, because I have been noticing flagrant comments and sweeping statements about how CCP (or anyone for that matter) has gone about making/patching this game, some of this can be considered Hyperbole which, by definition is: "Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally." Now, hyperbole is extremely dangerous both for your credibility, your feedback, and the future of this game.
Example, If Tom, **** and Harry post on these forums along the lines of "Scrambler pistols are OP!!!!!1111!!, they crap on anyone even at sniper range! and they win you every fight!"
Not only do readers question whether or not take your opinion seriously, threads essentially descend into whoever can spurt out the most exaggerated comment. This can make it extremely difficult if not impossible for the route cause of the problem to be found, thus delaying any action to rectify the situation and making life harder for CCP.
Good feedback will use personal examples and proof of statements, even better if it's backed up with numbers, so that the reader can determine the exact degree of the situation and provide counter-arguments that match the situation if applicable.
For instance, "When going into a fight with my squad, I use my scrambler pistol instead of my main weapon, because it 1-2 shots shields even on Caldari prototype dropsuits, and this can be up to 20-25m, this to me makes me feel like a death machine"
I know that when it comes to winning the internets, the prize is normally for the most outlandish statement possible, but when it comes to giving feedback this is not the case, and is in fact the opposite.
I just ask that people take care when posting hyperbolic statements and to choose your words carefully, and that it would also be cool if forum users don't flame people who are using these sorts of statements but direct them away and then we will all benefit.
Thank you for reading,
Krasy
(P.S. I apologise if this is in the wrong place, I thought it was appropriate in here giving the subject of this threat, feel free to move this and remove this note if this is the case, or not if I nailed it.) |

Four example threads added which I think provide a good scope so far of how to make some good threads for feedback! I'd like to see more that I can add to this list! |

who gets to decide whats "hyperbole" or not? You think 1 long word justifies millions of lives given to this cause?
If you think that's a long word, you sir, may have to expand your vocabulary.
Freedom of speech is great, but when it works against what everyone is working towards (a better Dust) fear mongering without evidence to back it up is pointless, and us forum goers get to decide what is hyperbole.
This and maybe the next reply will be my only bite, so choose your words carefully. |

You can have your freedom of speech, but if you go into an AMERICAN corporate discussion and brainstorming with hyperbole and insults, you'll be thrown out on your ass in no time. What we have here is COMMON SENSE for giving good and effective feedback.
OG- Kush wrote:who gets to decide whats "hyperbole" or not? You think 1 long word justifies millions of lives given to this cause?
The dictionary does:
hy-+per-+bo-+le [hahy-pur-buh-lee] noun Rhetoric .
1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.
2. an extravagant statement or figure of speech not intended to be taken literally, as GÇ£to wait an eternity.GÇ¥ |

This thread is common sense. The fact that using hyperbole in feedback is not helpful in any way is common sense. Sure, people can identify it as the utter c*** that it is, but it hurts the feedback process in general as good replies are buried in the garbage. Do you think CCP sorted through that 17 page Heavy Petition to see if there was anything valuable said on page 15?
Also, are you saying that it is good/beneficial to have hyperbole in feedback? |

I'm saying this from the point of view of someone trying to make changes to this game. They don't care about the back and forth banter on this forum. What they want to see is FACTS and SUGGESTIONS, not name calling and generalizations. If there is post after post of garbage, CCP will just ignore the feedback forum all together.
are u talking about real garbage? i cant tell.sarcasm.(but u understand what im getting at)
any time u are trying to change someones mind u may have to use a different approach. persuasion differs from begging. rhetoric cud be used. sarcasm works better on some ppl. we cud try being polite. |

My use of 'garbage' isn't sarcasm. A response like this would be sarcasm:
Yes, real garbage. Useless waste that needs to be thrown away.

Absolutely, but comments viral throughout this forum like "HTFU", calling out peoples lack of skill being the problem, or noob bashing because they asked a question they didn't know the answer to all contribute to a hostile environment.
I'm sorry if you thought my original post was offensive, I found the post I was replying to offensive as it is an example of this threads intended purpose: taking out the garbage  |

i thot it was about hyperbole, we even had a definition in there. well two if u count urs about garbage.
in this case it was overwhelming evidence it had nothing to do with "pretty please". i read alot of it not everyone was as positive as ur making out. public outrage has its place in changeing things too. as do threats and coersion. take a look back over the thread, there was humiliation there too. if there was no negative feedback (unintentional plug) things wud have stayed the same. IMO single mindedness is garbage. there is more than one way to skin a cat. |

Really dude? Our back and forth has created enough garbage on this thread (garbage being the analogy. If you're still hung up on the word 'garbage', replace them with: worthless, uninformative, counterproductive, good-for-nothing, pointless, poor, unproductive, unusable, etc)
Darken-Sol wrote:in this case it was overwhelming evidence it had nothing to do with "pretty please". i read alot of it not everyone was as positive as ur making out.
My point wasn't that people are positive, it was that the negativity and personal attacks are derailing a vast majority of these threads. Hmmmm....

Public outrage is all well and good. Rioting on the forums does nothing other than tell CCP "they're not happy". If you don't explain yourself, you're just noise. The louder the noise is, the faster people tune out.
There's plenty of ways to skin a cat, but why try with a crowbar? |

i might have ruined it for u trying to explain there are other ways than ass kissing. i apologise.
good communication is the best way. whether u r yelling or weeping ppl have to know how u feel and why. it doesnt hurt to have examples either. |

Read the original post again. Krasymptimo's not telling you what to say or how to say it, just that hyperbole's aren't going to help you get you ponit accross, nor is it going to help CCP identify what you're having issues with, or if it's a valid problem.
Spouting nonsense about Free Speech and your rights on the internet is laughable at best. You, of course, can continue to write and claim whatever you want, just as everyone else has a right to ignore you. |

How did you know? 
Declaring that you have a right to free speech is laughable on the internet because everyone has it and may express it. The only thing that would stop it on these forums would be through deleting posts and banning accounts left and right for opinions. I haven't heard about any of that, so why are we yelling about it? |
