EVE General Discussion

You want to make changes for some kind of perception that the economy is broken.

OK, I get that. But nobody in their right mind would change so many things in such a complicated system in such short order as you are. I already posted a thread with the changes that are happening in the next 7 weeks, and now I read about the elimination of meta 0 items from loot drops. Yes, I recognize this merely moves the wealth from the mission runners to the miners and industrialists.

But are you planning on changing SO many things simultaneously, you will be introducing chaos into the economy.
Sure, eventually it will all settle and new equilibriums reached.

But at what cost? How many subscribers are going to throw their arms in the air with frustration and pack it in?
You might get them all back, maybe. I would suggest why risk it?

Slow down the process. Change things slowly, iteratively. Not all at once.
If a real life economist suggested making all these changes in such a short span in a 400,000 person economy, they would be fired on the spot. No one knows, especially you CCP, about where this is all going to lead. And many of us don't like change and uncertainty. No real life economy does, and Eve's economy is complex enough to emulate one.

Confirming that the next several months are going to be awesome.

Not to mention, that these changes are good for industry professions and have been requested for a long time.

Time waits for no man

man... they dont change anything for what, 3 years? MASSIVE QQ

they start changing thigns, MORE qq

Woah, woah. They're actually doing this?

I heard about it a while back, but it never actually got implemented. Is it actually coming with inferno?

If so, that's AWESOME.

That depends on your perspective. Once upon a time in Eve you went out and tried to mine all your minerals your self for you first, cruiser, then your first battle ship. Many of the first cap ships were mined by the owners. Despite the greater risk then, compared to now, the population distribution across security sectors is very close to what it has always been.

Perhaps increasing mineral prices by reducing the supply is an attempt to fix, and perhaps your perception needs adjustment as well.

If they are getting rid of meta 0 items from loot drops, that would be amazing. Stop letting mission runners bypass two professions at once (miners, manufacterers).

While a valid perspective you also have to consider the Bounty and Incursions nerf. That and the fact that Mining will become much more profitable which will help pay for ganking loses.

The number one complaint about Mining isn't a gank but that you can make so much more doing other stuff.

Different world. Now Tier 2 Battlecruisers are the norm and add on's like Rigs and a lack of T1 Balance around T2 Fitting stats have made ships like T1 Cruisers less then viable for engagements. With all the new ships the bar is being set higher and higher with what you have to use to compete.

Back then a T1 Battleship was like a Capital today and Frigates / Cruisers were the norm. Now the field has expanded. The rebalance may help lower the cost of entry level PvP making ISK Costs go down for T1 Ships which might alleviate the problem.

Black Powder scattergun. Thats how my uncle does it
