So like many i have been following this high sec Jihad, even taking part myself. My question to CCP is what is your responce?

High Sec mining drops by half
T1 Modules/Ships price has skyrocketed
Ore Prices have bascially not gone anywhere
Empire systems are becoming empty in some areas

Are you going to buff missions? To compensate for the high isk to buy a ship/fit it
Are you going to buff insurance?
Are you going to re-buff Incursions?
Are you going to buff wormholes?
Are you going to buff null sec?

How long will you allow Goons to destroy eve? There intent is public, they are trying very hard to take down EvE Online.

My question is a serious one, what will you do when you drop below 50k subs because people have had enough? I have ben playing for 4 years and i litrally have nearly had enough of prices rising non stop on all modules, items etc

So when do you step in? When do you step in an say to Goons *that's enough*

Surley you are loosing money here. If people unsub and alot of people have, do u just let eve run into thr ground or is that your plan?

I think these are some serious questions that need to be answered. It's seems to the common player base that live n work in empire and yes we do pvp before the idiots call us carebears, but, when is enough, enough? Or do u seriously not give a damn?

Every time some cry baby makes a post they reward the behavior and cause it to continue.

The only reason any of this goes on is because of a desire for attention, "getting tears" is some odd "look at me mommy" thing, and each time you cry you encourage them the same as any other child.

Not sure if troll, or serious. If serious, this is a pretty bad thread and my response would be: why don't you wait a few weeks when the minerals will flow more freely?

If troll, very well done. A lot of what you have written doesn't hold up to scrutiny, but it's written as if you legitimately believe it.

Misinformation is the father of passion.

Get your facts straight... any of them... and then perhaps we can have a discussion.

LOL Gank miners - complain that ship prices are going up - cry in forums.

ganker tears, this is funny as hell. BTW, why would ccp care... the higher stuff costs the more people buy plex, and there's really no difference in amount online this hasnt really changed in years tbh

Ore prices have gone up lots. Can you say 7 isk per trit?

Expensive ships is win win. Industrials get more to make it profitable, pvp becomes more about smaller/cheap ships so the entry bar is lower.

More expensive ships I say, stabber fleets unite.

If modules are too expensive, make your own. If you're getting attacked, defend yourself. It's not hard.

If it's safer to go to lowsec than stay in hisec, go to lowsec. But please, use a scout..

No, but excess of the sandbox bully in general does limit eve by driving away potentially new customer base. Customers mean money, and money hopefully means more development. Hulkageddons and Burn Jita is cool and fine. But when, like this current hulkageddon, is done to the point and duration that it drives new players out of the game? Yeah, ruins it for everybody, even the goons because now ccp has less money to develop and fix features.

Did they nerf missions when ship prices fell?

You should just go join goons, and then you too will reap all of the benefits reserved solely for them. Standard application fee's include a 500 mil safety deposit to ensure you are not a spy and they'll help you move many of your ships to their space.

its been said a 1000 times the other reasons why the prices are going up and that itll take time for it to all settle, so this makes me think you are trolling or just dont read

How many players have cancelled their accounts due to the annual hulk cull?

Dunno, could be many, could only be a few. My statement was only based on the following.

1. Two RL friends started up before the last hulkageddon. They wanted to try the industrial part. Tried everything they could do, but low sp meant no fancy ships, and were limited. I gave info and helped how I could to make them minimal gank targets, still happened. The PvE side for them was boring. The PvP they didn't want to get into again. After couple weeks, thought was stupid they couldn't run industry in the high security and quit playing, never to return.

2. It took my friends a fair bit of convincing to try eve out, because hulkageddon is a reputation of eve's playstyle. Currently Eve's reputation isn't that it is a harsh game, but that it is a game not friendly to new players. People don't start because they hear that rookies get griefed, so they play games where they can get a start as a new player. Check out most forums that discuss eve. That is the reputation. Statements to the otherwise are usually from eve players like myself trying to say it is different.

Those are two facts, based on personal experience with other ex players or people who don't want to try. So yeah, hulkageddons etc do bring that harshness to eve. But when it is taken to the extreme that it is considered by the non eve players to be the norm, and not an event, well that only drives players out or keeps new ones from starting. It is what it is.

The question should be: "What does CCP think when there is a significant amount of their paying customers that do not log in the game because of the current situation". Because it feels like there is less people logging in the game these days (I might be wrong on that impression of mine here so feel free to correct me).

Anyways, in the company I work for, there would be serious discussions in upper management if the same issue would be happening. Heads would surely be rolling.
