Toxicity; The thing that is killing our community, and other things. #nOm_Rant

[sindroms]

The reason why I make cap-orientated events is not only because of NPC balance (fixed on the next patch) but also because I noticed that most player-made events focus on snubs. They do not like caps shooting snubs and so any player who has spent weeks of obtaining a cap gets to see it gather dust. I focus my events around larger ships because people want to use their caps. For something. Anything. Even if it is just to shoot bots.

Furthermore, there is an event idea submission thread. I see a few submissions, sure, and I take into account at least the locations people want to see events in, but I need more discussion from the community regarding the ideas themselves, but nobody actually discusses it. The last few posts are just the copy-pasted event writeups.

It should also be noted that official event requests are very sparce. There is only one on the list right now and I am just waiting for Rheinland's turn to hit. The issue there is that all requests usually turn into drama because people often use these events without any planning. If I make an event that involves blowing up a navy base and repairs being done, that is fine. If someone else submits an event about it, people will rage about it being too powergame-y.
The reason why admin events work is not only the prices but also because there is a trust that they are made for any side involved, rather than for the RP benefit of one. Which if you look at the failed official-request events is a common thing.
