So I'm bringing back this old thread from the old forums. Credit given where due to Akita T, shame she couldn't be here to start this thread herself. But here is a piece from the old thread:
START--
SO, WHAT IS THE "THOUSAND PAPERCUTS" PROJECT ?
It's an attempt to gather intel a lot of really small things that you put up with easily for some reason (usually because you got used to it after a while, short or long), but it still kind of bothers you to some tiny (or not so tiny) degree. Each and every one of those things might not even really be annoying in itself (and at least for some, changing them might probably NOT be really worth CCP's time yet, to be honest), but there might be so many that they end up giving you an overall feeling of discomfort, or stress, or whatever you'd like to call it.
WHAT DO I WANT FROM YOU ?
If you have one such minor inconvenience, whenever you encounter it, please describe it in here. THE SMALLER THE INCONVENIENCE, THE BETTER. You know, the small things... those you'd feel embarrassed to file a bug report for since they're so insignificant, or even never really bother to start a thread about it for fear of being laughed at for being too whiny about something most people don't even consider that much of an inconvenience. Things like: * "I wish the use/trash options on the menu would have more distance between them" * "I'd love if the timer for switching between ships was shorter than 30 seconds" * "I hate that nebula background images are so low resolution, I see nasty colorbands and blocks on my monitor at high resolutions" * "I don't like waiting 5-10 minutes for the remote asset list to reload" * "I'd like it if when I create a fleet I'd be made squad commander by default" * "I want more font options" * "It would be great if I could select a default showinfo tab" * "The blinking of the character sheet icon after claiming certificates annoys me, why do I have to open it again for it to stop blinking, I was just there" * "The "location" turret position on the "shipname" model annoys me because "reason"" * "Why do I have to stop training a skill when I clonejump, can't it pause and resume automatically?" ...and so on and so forth.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS ?
Well, there are several.
First off, maybe that minor annoyance you always had has some way to be sidestepped that somebody else found but you weren't aware of (hey, weirder things have happened). If you think you have a solution to one of the issues presented, don't be shy, say it.
Second, some of those things might be trivial to fix/change, and merely the fact they're brought forth will trigger their fix/change. Yeah, a bit of too much wishful thinking, but you never know.
Finally, after enough of these minor annoyances are collected, hopefully the most commonly perceived as annoying ones that so far were deemed not worth the time will hopefully get some attention from CCP when they're brought up as individual items. However, they would have to be common to quite a few people before they even deserve to be elevated to that particular status.
END--
Hopefully CCP will keep tabs on this thread and look for anything to improve. So get to poasting those little bugger! 5 Days In A Week... 4 Seasons In A Year... 3 Colors In A Stoplight... 2 Hemispheres On The Earth... ONLY 1-UP MUSHROOM!!!-áIf You Like My Sig, Like Me! |
