So correct me if I am wrong here.

You put Rorqs on grid in Ascension, I have no issues there what so ever, as they should be on grid, you gave rorq pilots immense mining abilities to compensate for the risk/cost factor, again great no issues.

Slowly you are removing the great mining abilities, so now with this current patch, the Rorq has only a slightly better yield than 1 Hulk, oh but it boosts as well, big deal. Soon it will just be the same old Rorq as pre-ascension only on grid, so essentially will just be a 10b useless sitting duck.

A 10b-12b fitted rorq on grid that gives boosts and mines the same as 1 hulk, yep I see the logic Roll

WTS Rorq, buying a hulk...costs less, gets into warp quicker....mines as good as a rorq for a fraction of the cost.

So much for the beast of a miner you boasted about in your Ascension expansion notes hey CCP.

Concerned for the eve economy, sounds more like concerned for the CCP wallet IMO!!

    @ CCP Fozzie is there a dislike button? I just cannot seem to find it.

    Anyways, just want to say Europe loves you... You apparently hate the American continents, and I'm sure you'll find our love at a loss for you in the near future.

    Totally was going to write more, however, I concluded that you really could care less seeing as you have yet to respond to any of the previous post. Of which a lot of their comments are valid from my point of view as a pay to play account on this game.

    So, knowing that you have my email already, feel free to write me if you would like some feed back from us little guys.... You know, the majority of us who actually have jobs and pay to play this game... Yeah those guys, the ones that are now wearing those new awesome hats! That look like ****....

    We are also making some more small adjustments to the Excavator drones themselves. In June the changes are:
    • About 9% less yield for Ore Excavators
    • 12.5% lower speed for Ore Excavators
    • About 11% longer cycle time for Ice Excavators
    • 10% lower speed for Ice Excavators


    We will continue observing the economy after these changes and making adjustments as necessary to keep it healthy for all our players.

    So why is it CCP's fault that your Euro TZ players are asses and left you a bad anom. It would suck even before the changes having them cherry pick it and not clean it all for you anyway.

    CCP wants to move the people to other systems????

    CCP please ,what is the reason while miners go to some Systems with high SEcstatus??
    Right..the miningyield

    Please begin to play your own game.
    I leave Eve a few Month ago and when i see this Patchnotes i think it was a good dicision.

    Remove this ******* Secstatus and the people will move to other unbusy Systems from itself.


    CCP....many People gives you a Tip... hear on it...play your own Game.

    Patch the Rorqaul out of game...its have the same affects like your fu... bullshitpatches.

    at last..... cooldown for Miningbelts.... LoL

    CCP thinks the economy is in bad health because of too much isk. You don't nerf rorqs and carrier ratting at the same time. Rorqs account for most of the mining done in New Eden and now they are being nerved because of the bad economy. CCP has not changed a thing, just ruined the amount of isk that is to be made. Since ore has subjective value based on supply and demand, rorqs in the long term won't be too bad off as ore prices rise (Except for the new tears involved in mining). Carrier ratting on the other hand are going to be screwed.

    Looks like CCP is delibratly trying to kill it's long-term players.



    A rapid rise in the money supply can be bad for an economy. It can lead to inflation. Now while there is not much inflation at the moment, letting this go until prices start rising dramatically is probably not a good thing.

    As for minerals the mineral price index has been falling for the past 13 months. This suggests that ALOT of minerals are entering the markets and depressing prices.

    Both of these are two macro trends are troubling at the very least.

    Now, perhaps if you cut out the hysterics and engaged your brain a bit you'd see that these while unfortunate for rorqual and carrier/super pilots, these changes should probably be made.

    you realize it's literally your alliance that's responsible, riiight?

    I was on the understanding that this is a player led game and economy. The players don't want this , there are 35 pages on this forum that prove this .
    Ccp need to concentrate on creating more pvp opportunities like reducing reinforcement timers on structures so the isk being made gets spent . Yes I'm a miner , yes I have a rorqual but I1 thing I never have is isk as I reinvest it all to bpo's. it would be better to make bigger ships slower to warp off so they can be killed . Carriers and supers are gone soon as intel spikes . Rorquals are stuck . Also make cynosure not work in anoms so it's all manual warp ins at random points so more ships are at risk .
    Don't nerf the very things people like and enjoy doing

    Do people really think this is a clever or compelling argument?

    When they initially announced their plans to introduce Excavators and turn the Rorqual into a mining behemoth, did you complain that you thought this was a player-run economy then?

    I'm betting you didn't.

    Heh, the irony.

    And when an unbalanced ship appears, let it stay because of "player driven economy."

    Yup, that is about a logical as a 3 year old.

    Not sure if either of you followed the threads leading up to Rorqual/Orca changes but CCP was warned over and over that their changes would cause problems - CCP went ahead regardless and are now in "oh Shite what did we do" mode.

    They made a lot of RL money from people injecting to get more Rorqual characters due to bad game design .

    The problem now is CCP/Devs are not addressing the underlying problem with Rorquals and simply nerfing everyone due to the actions of a minority - Or in other words, doing the only thing this lot of Devs is capable of as they have no idea what "game balance" actually is or how to achieve it.

    Reality is, we haven't had a player driven economy for a long time - It is closely monitored by CCP who will and do intervene when it suits them...


    You can try to defend CCP as much as you like but they did wrong...

    My opinions are mine.

      If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - - Just don't bother Hating - I don't care

    It really is getting harder and harder to justify $23 a month for each sub.

    Mostly what I remember about the early rorqual change threads is a lot of hilarious crying about how they're still not worth putting on grid, and never will be, and the rorqual is dead and will never be used again. Roll

    If that distinction is your definition of "player driven economy" then, spoiler alert: Eve has NEVER had a player driven economy.

    There has never been a single moment in the lifespan of Eve where anything introduced to the economy via a faucet wasn't subject to the possibility of tweaking. The entire point was the astonishing number of people who don't seem to realize that, and are making moronic, "B...but the player driven economy!!1!" arguments now.

    Ore compositions have been rebalanced. Tiericide included huge ship material rebalancing. Bounties have been adjusted before. Gun mining was killed. Drone minerals went away. The plex market has seen direct intervention before. That's just a tiny fraction of examples. Remember when ore anomalies didn't exist? I sure do.

    But, whoa, a completely necessary Rorqual yield adjustment? That's just totally over the line! Clutch your pearls, and wring your hands, because NOW is the time to get precious about the player driven economy. Roll

    It's not about defending CCP, it's just that blaming them doesn't ******* matter. Sure, it's entirely their fault, and back when they had an economist, they seemed to be keenly aware that a bigger, badder mining yield ship - especially a capital-grade mining ship - wouldn't actually be a good thing. I agree with that sentiment.

    Now, tell me how that has any impact on the necessity of continuing to manage the influx of new material. What, CCP ****** up so they should just say, "Well, guess we done goofed. We'll just have to let this train run right off the rails, now, because it simply won't do to upset a bunch of FOTM chasers by rebalancing things now that we realize we made a mistake. It was a good run while it lasted?"

    And what does this prove, imply, even mean? CCP were warned, it went bad, but because they were warned we have to leave an unbalanced ship in the game?

    Let me get this straight...people are upset because they spent RL money accelerating their training on a ship that you indicate was known to be unbalanced...and when CCP about faces people should be upset.

    Here is an idea: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. Stop chasing the latest fad and go with what works.
