CCP Ratatti Interview: As EVE Online Players Protest, CCP Responds To Feedback Regarding Proposed New Dawn Mining Changes

some people are rude as fuck here lol. not naming names but y'all know who I mean, the personal attack shit

not directed to you at all, but to the people who've been mad rude: being upset is one thing but before you say something and you actually want anyone to give a shit, please, think: Would i say this to this person's face in this way? Is this really what I'd open with?

If the answer is no, then recognize that -NO MATTER HOW RIGHT YOU MAY BE- you will likely not be taken seriously and that it's human nature to not take people seriously when they act like shitheads

It's completely counterproductive if you want to get their (or ANYONE ELSE'S) attention or get them to affect any kind of change

think of how many successful protests over anything have had a motto or chant or grievances or demands that started with "hey, you fucking moron:" - not many

you've gotta be consistent and you can't /give them reasons to not listen/ if you want them to hear you

people tend to respond best when they're communicated with at around their level of engagement or general arousal, maybe a tick higher, past that and you're just kinda being annoying
