EVE General Discussion

T20 was before IA (and the reason they have IA). The rest is incompetence writ large. If you want to start bitching about CCP's track record of incompetence, you won't get much disagreement. When you raise that incompetence to accusations of malice, you run into Hanlon's Razor, which usually keeps CCP pretty well defended (through reference to the aforementioned long history of incompetence).

I trust them to not screw with the game in a Dev Corruption sense. I also trust them to screw up the game constantly because that's what they do because they don't quite know what they want the game to look like (let alone how to get there).

Nullsec -> Huge, Well Organized groups of players fighting (or not) for power, territory, etc.
Lowsec -> Do people actually PvE out here? Pirate player's in heaven.
Hisec -> The Economy has roughly the minimum possible NPC inputs (I can't think of a good way around BPOs)
Jita -> A trade hub created by players through an accident of history and retains its status despite the reason it became a hub disappearing

Events:
Hulkageddon -> Dreamed up, organized, funded, and prosecuted by players for the enjoyment (and profits) of players
Burn Jita/Ice Interdiction -> See Hulkageddon
The immense player driven organization that ran Incursions for the last year
The random quiet acts of violence or kindness that happen between strangers every moment on TQ

There's no interesting NPC driven activity in EvE, so why the hell are you playing if you don't think EvE's a player driven world?

Enough about my sig, got any evidence of Dev misconduct?

I don't have the database access they have and if I had I would be breaking some rules of the EULA, wouldn't I.

And IA won't investigate anyways since heck, they need the proof delivered to their doorstep first and made public so they can first shoot down the messenger.
It sounded so darn nice and nifty, but let's face it, it's just another propoganda stunt promoted to sooth one of the many fuckups in the passt.
Just like some excuses tried to sound as sincere as Enron's CEO when he appologized.

The fact alone that there is a growing group of the playerbase suspecting the same as I suspect does make the thing sound more and more probable. But heck, let's just call it tinfoil hattery and be done with it.
And incase the roof does get blown off of this and suspicions become reality you can wiggle your arse in silence or all of a sudden become one of the bleating sheep at the rear. Most likely using an alt though.

They also "homogenized" the agent standings to spread the mission runners out, to thin out the camouflage for the botters. Don't know if you were aware of that.

No it doesn't.
It's called mass hysteria

I have no idea why, but that just made me laugh so hard my wife is looking at me VERY CROSSLY!

thanks!

So let me get this straight, CCP wants more people to play FW, and they decide to put datacores in the FW LP store, and then call FW fixed. Is that suppose to be an off-color joke. I will go grab my guns and play FW for datacores. I thought that the initial discussions about changing FW did not even include datacores, so what this really means is CCP rather than do surgery and fix somethings are going to put a band-aid on cancer and call it good. Well I needed my laugh for the day, Thank you CCP!

It's not rocket surgery!

Well, okay, maybe it is.

You forgot the part where they still let Null Bears hot drop 1,000 Titans anywhere in Low Sec cause they wanna.

I trained these skills as a beginner in hopes of inventing a t2 BPO.

They mean something. The passive income for anyone who played way back then is inconsequential. That is not the issue.

Clever is not always better. Improve the game, don't just move around old mechanics in the name of improvement.

Fix the science profession first, then move farming skills to pvp. If you just want to fix pvp, add isk.

I think you are talking about another game, In EVE online there are two professions, Kill people or be a carebear and be killed by other people.
