CCP, with its new Crucible patch, has utterly ruined the end-game, aka Supercapitals. I know, the whiners are already screaming, "EvE doesn't have an end-game." Bullocks.

I've played this game for 5+ years, and the vast majority of "bittervets" I know own caps and own supercaps, or want super caps. No one has the long term "goal" of being a Battleship jocky/cannon fodder. At least, no one who will play EvE long-term.

The nubs who fly Dreaks in Level III missions come and go. They don't contribute much to industry, they don't contribute much to the politics of EvE, and they don't contribute much as FC or any of the other roles that keep the "sandbox" of EvE running.

I don't give much of a **** about what happens to my own super. For one thing, I bought it with Plex, and I have an almost unlimited amount of Plex in my RL bank account (Imagine about 10 of your parent's houses). Furthermore, being extremely busy in RL, I have not had time to log into EvE for any reason other than to change skills. So, as for my supercap, let it burn, let it die, let it rot in space. I will either Plex for another one, or fly a 'Nado, which looks more fun anyways.

But I am the Anti-Mittani.* Unlike him and his dark Horde, I do not want to see New Eden burn. I don't want to see 1000 rifters beat 100 supers. I don't want to see online player numbers drop and drop and drop. I don't want this game to go in the direction of SWG -- which died a horrible, twisted death when the Devs tried to appeal to the masses and the kiddies and the nubtards.

I was on the Something Awful forums long, LONG before The Mittani. I saw the first skirmishes between SA, 4chan, THWF, Gen May, and others. I understand their goals and motivations. And I loath them.

Come at me, bro.

TL;DL -- EvE is not a fun game; crying about my super; my tears, they fuel you. My tears, best tears.




*OTOH, perhaps he is right. EvE is not a fun game.

[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]

You're doing it wrong.

Is it wrong? Or is it SO SO right?

Think of it like fascism and communism. Eventually you realize the answer is a circle.

If serious, thank you.

So your definition of end-game is supercaps but you wanna fly Tornados instead because they are more fun?
Maybe you are doing it wrong and maybe Crucible will finally make you see it.

Dear 0.0 bittervets with misguided views,

I don’t no why I am writing a letter to you! I have been forced to write this letter by better informed veterans.

‘To be honest I’m not bothered or sorry about the fact that nerfs are coming to your supers. Basicly it was yourfault anyways.

I’m going to run you through the dumb mistakes you made. Firstly you hotdrop them left right and centre which most people now is boring and risk averse cowardism, you have come to rely on a single catch all overpowered ship and have forgotten how to actually maintain a balanced fleet made of multiple ship types. ‘Secondly your dumb you live in null sec a high risk crime area and your thick enough to napfest your aAllienses. I wouldnt do that in a million years.

But anyways I don’t feel sorry for you and Im not going to ShoW any Sympath or remose remores.
