EVE General Discussion

You know, in my humble opinion, for the most part, EVE worked just fine up until about a year ago. When a recipe for a chicken soup is perfect, you DO NOT keep changing it, you will ruin it.
Sofar you lost about what, 5% of subscriptions because of key broadcasting.
1. You talk a constant plan of ship balancing and at the same time you bring out a destroyer that can outrun missiles with cruiser sized prop mods.
2. If some system was worth taking, you have to work (structure grind) for it. Now you are going to make it simple and almost effortless.
3. I guess you want more fighting, which I can agree with, but the reason there is so little of that now is because there are basicly only 3 or 4 giant sized alliances that don't really want to tangle with each other. Right now, if X alliance of 8,000 members wants to take a area of null, they can WITHOUT help. If alliances had a reasonable maximum cap of say like 3,000, then they might have to ask for assistance from another friendly alliance in their coalition. But the other friendly alliance may not agree to risking ships for that purpose cuz they might have their own goals. I think that would cause more smaller fleet fights.
4. One other way to cause more fighting would be to put a set amount of minerals on the R32 and 64 planets, say like enough for 4 to 6 months worth at non stop mining. Then when it runs dry, another of the same kind would respawn randomly somewhere else. By randomly I mean NOT ALWAYS in CCP's friends corner. Like what seems to happen with pricely blueprints and etc.
At the rate of speed you are going, I would almost bet the basic death of EVE within a few years.
Would it hurt to FOCUS on what the mass majority of players want instead of flatly ignoring your customer base and only doing things just a few select friends think?

well, the whole fozziesov thing is a big mistake on his behalf anyway. In his own words he basically did say, that taking sov will be easier for smaller type organizations not so fortunate until before the fozziesov. He, I guess thought that the big alliance will then loose a big part of the pie to some new less fortunate guys that finally have their null sec systems too. I guess what he forgot was that it will not really be easier for the less fortunate, but it will now be much easier for the big alliance to take even more systems, because that is what well organized and big alliances will be able to do most successful. I guess his intention of hurting big alliances will actually just make them stronger. Well, as always, we just have to adapt and play it out.

What this will do is force EVERYONE to only claim what they can physically hold. The "Inflation Bubble" method of play the Goonwaffles have perfected then becomes obsolete, and then we discover Goonwaffles' true size. (Naturally, they're going to claim it only looks small 'cause it's COLD! Brrrrrrr.)

A plausible reason why CCP would suddenly be willing to cut off the fat would be the possibility that a player will only purchase one copy of special edition things like the CE (which is dirt cheap now), regardless of their number of accounts. If the business model is adjusted slightly from monthly subscriptions to microtransaction vanity items, it makes complete sense for CCP to wean itself from multi-account (per player) income.

I like your hair.

OP has no hair at all!
