EVE is Not Dying, but...

...risk aversion is. In case it hasn't been obvious, EVE has been 'dumbed down' over the past few years to the point where actually having a career and specializing in something has become a lost profession. There is no longer any need to be risk averse because EVE has become (and will continue to become) safer.

Risk-free PLEX transport is just the latest in a long line of changes aiming at making EVE safer for F2P. Friendly corps (no AWOX), watch list removal, scant structure vulnerability windows, asset safety, etc. are just the tip of the iceberg.

When are you people going to realize that risk free PLEX transport has been a thing ever since PLEX was introduced? The only people you caught were the idiots and I can guarantee you that will not change.

Yes, most of us do realize this. You can't fix stupid - but you can certainly try...

That`s called make it "casual" like world of warcraft, diablo 3 and mobile phones games. It`s a marketing strategy and for this complex game to get the game running cost will be skyrocket and let me say (candy crush) the have make more money and earned for that ****** game than eve ever will the do not even have a server only $ for the host facebook and other platforms.

People love to spend money in a game. See plex see skill injectors enc enc enc. It`s the new GAMING. I call it **** gaming. And i do not like that market but again i`m a dying breed tbh....

No it isn't. You're just going to have to work a little harder to catch idiots or to take advantage of others.

It isn't not dying or isn't becoming less risk averse?

I understand, more people are venturing into the nullsec now and those unable to handle it will be on the forums crying how highsec isn't safe enough to flip cans, ganks unarmed ships or in general be able to PVP versus unarmed opponents. Grow a pair and go to nullsec.

I translated what they said :

Arab guy 1 : "Салам алейкум"
Arab guy 2 : "Why are you saying Salam aleykum is Russian?"
Arab guy 1 : "Just to sound even more dangerous, but I'm really a highsec carebear. On a sidenote, PLEX will be more expensive. We will have to do more ore mining."
Arab guy 2 : "More mining?! No! We should do suicide ganking it's how western people like to game."
Arab guy 1 : "Wait... westerners play like that? What's wrong in the head with them?"
Arab guy 2 : "Clones get 69 virgins during the transfer of consiousness."

They sound more like miners. Just don't flip their cans and you'll be ok.

If you go with ccp's statistics, you will probably ragequit because life is way too boring without some people running around with bombs in backpacks, suicide ganking in highsec.
