Real talk, I didn't even know pings would generate a sound. First thing I do when installing any new piece of software, Pidgin included, is turn off all sounds because they're almost always annoying and pointless.

'Disable Sound' means no annoying noises, or better yet- change your notification noise to something less annoying- most of those people use Pidgin, this is pretty much 3 mouse clicks.

Horde ping behavior is the worst, forget having a sound for notifications when the average number of pings for a single fleet can be as high as 8 times in a row. I appreciated jabber having a solitary window for fleet pings, maybe I can finagle something in IRC to throw notifications in a separate window?

Does no one remember the days of DBRB pinging all-all because he had a titan tackled on the test server? That's why people still hold hatred for director bot even if now in this modern time it doesn't happen anymore. Its like jabber PTSD.

Blinky taskbar means something fun is going to happen so time to stop grading and log in  . Then what you see is "everyone log in titan tackled on sisi," over and over again  . Hence gently caress that poo poo signal:noise ratio is way off balance and I would have rather finished the work thing.

L5 Missions are still way above any of those, unless the numbers have gone up. Making t3ds was crazy good for a while as well. Stellaris is a good game, but the fact that I feel the need to not play eve while waiting for something to happen is bad. But the reality is that this is a 13-yr old game, and it's not going to get better.

I think the general trend of making highsec a safe haven with the best accessible income is bad for the game. You can easily earn about 200mil/hr and really don't die unless you're in a wastefully expensive ship or are AFK.

The sad thing with this is that it's a steadily better game. Compared to when I first tried this game, the mechanics are better, epic mission arcs are a cool intro, and subcap balance is fairly reasonable. If there were an EVE 2 with a full reset of everything I'd get on that so hard.

The MMO genre is dying a painful death, Darkfall just recently announced that game is shutting down. No game ever, has come on stronger and better with bigger numbers than its natural peak. Eve will never get bigger than it was at 500k. Which makes it funny when nerds be like: Rarrrgh we da best in this dead game
