damn dude don't be so defensive lol. i'm not saying YOU or any of the moderators here. far be it for me to presume to know the scope of your guys' influence, but it never crossed my mind that it extends that far. however just because you aren't, that doesn't mean it's not happening.
it's simple arithmetic
if A - B + AB > C then any corporation will do it
where
A= cost of product development
B= cost of manipulation research
AB = increased revenue from B
C= revenue generated w/out B
and i can tell you right now, the cost for something as simple as implementing predetermined faction wars (B) is negligible compared to the increased interest that it brings (AB)
ah, invoking good ol occam's razor. while i subscribe to this belief in most cases, it's not sufficient enough to explain how i was so accurately able to predict precisely who would win and how they'd do it. chaos theory on the other hand...Originally Posted by Bob__Gnarly Go to original post
Or it could be that by measuring the data and predicting the outcome you irrevocably altered the natural course of events as they would have naturally happened.Originally Posted by Ex__Machina Go to original post
but without observation, would the faction war have even happened at all?Originally Posted by alustar24 Go to original post
