EVE economy should be more than the supply and demand of a couple thousand capsuleers and the completely independent, static and completely implausible system of NPC trade goods.
Have world-changing events like wars and incursions as well as the needs and wishes of billions of people on planets reflect on the market.

1) Wrong thread.

2) The economy should be more than a RNG and a bunch of algorithms people will figure out within a month after release. The economy should be based on the supply and demand of real people, and world-changing events like wars (and I don't mean Amarr/Minmatar wars) and invasions, as well as the needs and wishes of hundreds of thousands of real people.

Oh wait, it actually is.

Crucible is a step in the right direction, the next two or three expansions will be critical. There are various issues harming the Eve environment that have been allowed to take root over years and have never been tackled because CCP has been distracted by other projects. We could all reel off the list, we all know what they are, and we've all waited in vain for years hoping something might finally be done about them.

CCP's priorities for the forseeable future need to be using the next few expansion cycles to examine every aspect of Eve to see where improvements can be made and tackling them head on, every time bringing in more of the Thousand Little Things and a couple of Really Big Things as well.

I don't think the CSM should be rubbing CCPs nose in the fact they did an about face to refocus on spaceships, they should be praised for that, CCP made the right choice...and better late than never. But the refocus on core gameplay with crucible needs to CCPs new long term focus, not something done once to take the heat off them.

They need to keep improving their communication with players, an example of good communications would be Matt Higby over at Sony for the upcoming Planetside2.

On the whole they need to be very open and transparent on their plans for EVE in terms of direction and intent. There's a lot of long outstanding issues with EVE that they need to address rather than continued to be brushed under the rug. Issues that in many cases CCP will have to choose between diametrically opposed player group interests. Clarity and foreknowledge of where EVE is heading is better for all concerned than continued ambiguity. Key to this CCP needs to decide what kind game EVE is, because sometimes I don't think they know or have decided yet.

-->Please continue with the directive that made PI "reducing NPC built stuff and putting into the hands of the players" Nex store seemed to be a step in the opposite direction. Is it possible to Adjust Nex to it follows with this directive.

-->Adding to the current features to make the current feature fresh which in turn invigorate the players: more FW elements, more Sov elements, More PI elements, More Scanning down resource elements. These will customers happy.

-->Remember in physiologic class - when there was the study when the levels of light changed at the work place productivity increased. Not because the light levels mattered but because some one attempting to make things better for the worker.
CCP will find even by tweaking things in response 1 way one month and then the other way in response CCP will be seen as catering to the players whims and making many of the vocal minority happy.

-->Even though Incarna is on the back burner it is possible to include the mechanics of some of the features such as store front mechanics be accessible to the station interface and move to them incarna interface once in the station multiplayer portion is established. This will Giving eve players FIS features provided by incarna, battle test them, so they can slot back in easily into incarna when its multiplayer portion comes out. This should soft sell the the benefits Incarna promising increased functionality and ease of use.

-->I appreciate the work you guys are doing. You are in a high stress field that provides low pay. It is a highly competitive field as everyone and their dog think they can produce in game design.
