Now that supers have been nerfed into the ground, CCP has about 6 months to come up with a new "end-game" or this game will be dead.

Hardcore, "hobby" type players are the core of EVE. The people who drive fights, produce the most in the economy, and so forth.

If you nerf their "end game" toy out of the fight, you need something to replace it.

Perhaps WiS will be the answer, or maybe a new class of T3, but CCP... seriously, you have to think this through.

MMOs live and die based on their end game. There has to be something that n00bs get excited about once the initial novelty wears off after the first few weeks/months.

CCP may have a PhD economist on their staff, but their psychology/marketing people are re-tards. EVERYONE who plays an MMO has some sort of fantasy of power. There has to be an end-game.

Also, my spaceship was really expensive and I am mad, bro.

[u]The nerfs to supercaps will cause more super pilots to join the largest alliances who can properly "support" their deployment, further concentrating firepower/wealth in EVE. The end result will be fewer "fun" fights, and will hurt EVE in the long run.[/u]

How 'bout you make another thread to show how upset you are?

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.

Controlling all of the sand in the sandbox is a good end game to, if you have that type of personality.

Well it sure isn't dreads because to be quite honest, the changes suggested still leaves them wanting.
Why even nerf dread drone bays tbh?

EVE has an end game huh? I'm pretty sure that it doesn't, seeing as it's a sandbox game.
Supercaps shouldn't be the be-all-and-end-all. It doesn't fit in with the strategic depth of EVE.
