I understand this update was all about the revamp of science and industry. I get it. I really do. But having taken almost a year to "somewhat understand" how it worked. Now, you've really screwed the pooch.

I'm not even attempting to understand this. The old way was confusing but this is......ok....I don't even have words....

WTF...I don't even care anymore. Who wants my old BPO's, BPC's, T2 BPC's? This is typical focus group crap here. You've basically "over-engineered" something once again.

**** it. Peace. I'm just gonna jettison them in Rens Friday night.....................**** off EVE!

Dear capsuleer Ozymandias,

We understand your frustration with this new 'simpler' 'dynamic' research system with 'low entry requirements'.

However we find that littering is not the solution. Keep our environment clean!
Just for people as you we have created the BPO/BPC removal service.
Just dump everything in a contract and assign it to us for zero ISK.
We assure you that they will be disposed off in a humain way.
In contrast to CCP we even do this without charging any costs.
1 contract and all your worries are gone.
Finally the peace of mind you so desire.
Don't hesitate. Act now!


Regards,
The Crius Psychological Support Team

New idea. Since everyone wants to be pricks about it. Load up expensive ship with all prints, go to some remote system and self destruct.

Later.

My experience has been, stuff it all in a can and leave it there for 2 years.

Natural inflation will make it worth more by default. It's up to you if you stay subscribed for those two years.

I've tried Invention and research a few times over the years and the UI hasn't really changed much about how it works just how you look at it. You still need to fight tooth and nail with T2 BPO holders, just to be able to fight tooth and nail with the .01 ISK gang. People are saying they have more planned but back to the top. Fir most of us it's all an ISK sink spin game.

I'm starting industry and will take anything that I can get... but there's only a .01% chance you'll give it to me anyways. But EvE isn't for all, unfortunaly you might've found this, have you tried PvP? That is the reason that I still sub.

Bold words for someone who needed more than a year to understand how EVE industry works.

Funny, smartest, pretty and relevant. Pick 3.

if you are seriously quitting, instead of blowing up your stuff, feel free to donate it to me as I'm just starting in industry and it would be a great help to me Big smile

It's dumb isn't it. Pointless complexity and precisely zero in-game tools to navigate that complexity. I can't say this isn't typical of CCP. I don't think there's a single employee at the company who actually "does" industry in the game and the CSM is full of PvP people who think industry is "gay".

Exactly. The derogatory trolls in this post have probably never done it. Because it does require a fair bit of intelligence. That's why it doesn't really bother me. I kind of feel sorry for them.

I'm actually just getting into industry and research. I figured now was the best time to learn. I'll gladly keep you from wasting all of your BPs in a can somewhere. Contract them to me in-game if you're so inclined and I'll put them to good use.

Same here. Only thing I was considering doing previously was capital stuff in Lowsec with very little in the way of direct involvement. Now I have more sabre BPCs than I care to count ( not having the skills to manufacture them did not deter me!) and it has also affected my mining alts as well. Used to be primarily ice but now I have some extra boats proficient in ore and some new skills to train.

Also dibs on any research materials he has in that can.
