So guess CCP's bribes to get player activity up, over the Mother's Day weekend of all times (North America, that is).

Whatever.
How much are Gecko's worth now?
22 million, and dropping?

Am I going to turn my game upside down for a couple hundred million ISK? Forget it. If I am going to be online to drive the PCU higher, it will be on my own terms.

And given the slavish desire CCP has to protect the null sec cartel gaming experience by wiping drones off the field to keep TiDI down, how long before the Gecko and other superheavies are an item that will be incorporated into normal industry, and players will be able to make them?

The main construct of a blueprint is in the game.
CCP just has to fill in some blanks on it and give it some mineral values.

it's quite obviously something cool that they decided to do for eve's 11th birthday, that was never a secret. there's no hidden agenda to increase the player count in a weekend holiday that only affects 1 country.

See, if you remove the tinfoil, you get a fairly good post, and one I can actually agree with. Everything in game should be made by players, and everything made by players should be able to go BOOM.

Is it really worth peoples bother now that we know they're going to be heavily nerfed in Kronos? Originally many were very excited about the Geckos, but now it's just a resounding 'meh'.

It's actually quite a large number of countries, some of them rather populous: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothers_day#Dates_around_the_world ) I'd guestimate this affects 85%+ of eve players.

Not the drone itself but drone interfacing is going from 20%/level to 10% a level to make it not so mandatory to train to V.

Every other drone in the game is getting a 33% boost to base damage to compensate, except the gecko, it already has its final Kronos expansion stats.

So the drone will indeed to 25% less damage after the Kronos patch.

so you basically want us to have a new Asakai / B-R so you can get some more lowsy drones?

is it too much for the REAL Eve Online player? Sad Isn't it what ALL THIS GAME ABOUT?

After all if miners (who ACTIVELY not playing the game) can make it why can't REAL PLAYERS? Cool


Because mining is the lowest hanging fruit in the game? Oh, and it can and most often is botted?

Massive Titan battles are a little bit higher up. And you can't exactly bot them.


someone obviously didn't watch the security keynote from fanfest

to save you the time, i'll give you a brief recap

Mining Ships banned for botting 2k
Battleships banned for botting 3k
titans repossessed (im guessing for rmt) 6

but it was the nice little graph ... where Ratting Accounts were at least 4x more prevalent than Mining Accounts on the Accounts Banned column



Poor little nul-sec drone, being told to spout such inaccurate factless drivel.
It's a shame CCP released info that disagrees with the most common bit of nul-sec propaganda, or people might confuse that propaganda with facts.





I still wonder which Alliance was #1 though ... is a shame CCP won't release that data
.....I know, I'll make some vague conspiracy rumour mongering type hypothesis

lets see ... 1 alliance had the highest proportion of banned accounts due to RMT & Botting
goons is the largest alliance

see how it works ... no facts, just supposition, and spurious connectivity with random given data.

No, they are not being nerfed.

they're being nerfed. people call an indirect nerf a nerf, so does ccp. *Snip* Please refrain from personal attacks. ISD Ezwal.

but since they're obviously designed with kronos and rattlesnake in mind noone should care

I really don't see why anyone argues with Dinsdale. It's pretty much the same as arguing with a Lemon.

You don't win unless you put it in a blender...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Exactly, they're not getting a nerf if they are staying the same...
