Blue Gartr Interview Transcription

[Tsukino]

Seriously, you can't turn off the "we are God's gift to MMO players and you owe us everything" even for an interview?

The questions were good ones and the responses were interesting but the attitude was painful to read.

And you can't turn off the "OMGZZZZZ I care too much about what other people do in a virtual worldddddddd" even for a thread?

Seriously, you folks who harp about the most asinine aspect of things sound exactly like the people you are so adamantly against.

You think that's bad, you should check out some of the people in the Eve Online community. You'd think CCP was wrapped around their fingers with the attitude and demands some players put on them.

That said... Great interview overall..

Two concerns: I hope crafting isn't reduced to WoW levels (I cringed when the BG guy used WoW's system as a reference of "how it should be"). I agree it's far too tedious as it is now... but at the same time, clicking one button, watching a % bar climb to 100% and magically having a completed item at the end is rather lame. Worse still, being able to click "Make All", walk away, bio break, make a sandwich, come back and magically have your items crafted with ZERO interaction required at all is way too far the other way. It's barely even a "crafting system" at that point.

I'm glad they've at least noted there being more requirements for a higher chance at a HQ item. For sure someone will find a way to complain that that's "not fair" or "too much effort" as well.

My other concern is that they're real careful about what kind of power they give players via the add-on system. If they're using a Flash-Based system, then it's possible that SE can sorta "back-load" what functionality the players have access to, via use of drop-downs or pre-defined widgets of some sort. If that's the case, then there's no worry for abuse since access is limited. If it's wide-open, however.. I can only imagine what kind of shenanigans is going to be pulled by some players.

It is worth noting that the BG on Rabanstre is not affiliated with the bluegartr site owners.

The site owners conducted it. As far as I know, they don't really play.
