EVE General Discussion

It's fun kids, but I would like to present this friendly public service announcement... you are getting close to over doing it. What is my reasoning you ask so politely? A month of Hulkageddon following a burn Jita event may be full of lulz, but it is starting to catch on everywhere. CCP is taking notice, and when CCP takes notice they can easily decide to notice that a certain mechanic/tactic/shipclass is being used to often, and to too great effect. Whether you agree with them or not.


I would prefer if Hulkageddon stays around, just like I would prefer to be flying a Nano'd HAC right now that defies all weapon tracking. But alas, I fear that by the end of this month all of the delicious tears that you crave will force the issue to be addressed by CCP in the following months.




You made CCP look at and nerf the boomerang.
You made them notice that abandoning your drones was a bannable offense.

Yes... all obvious exploits, but as you troll this thread, just remember one thing, they were easy to look past until they were used in excess.





As these events progress and come into their own, it is all to easy to take it somewhere that could have unintended results for you. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know one thing... when CCP notices something big in game... we all tend to suffer a little bit from the backlash. It's on the news, it's on the forums and it is central to the highly publicized thingy that shall go unnamed. All of you have managed to troll and lol'd suicide ganking into the limelight like never before, and if history can be our teacher, to make an obvious meme, this is probably going to end badly. Or at the very least, not the way all of you want it to.

TBH, sort of... yes
To be frank. I know it won't happen or anything, but the reality of what is liable to transpire after this month is looming IMO.




If people keep upping the bar like this, It is more or less inevitable isn't it?

I think OP is saying that GSF is overpowered and needs to be nerfed.

Or maybe not.

Actually I agree there could be a shoe drop as the blood flow continues unabated. CCP likes the sandbox but they also like balance.

I kinda think that the massive orgy of griefing and destruction we are engaging in is a test to see if CCP is still the company we all grew to love over the years, or a new, carebear friendly group who will nerf things like this.

I hope I don't have to find a new game because they fail the test, because EVE as it has been is awesome, tho lately they have been violating the core principle of the sandbox that this game used to be about. Namely, that people should be getting killed, and things like the boomerang thing were not exploits, but clever uses of the game. I remember an old thread about a similar issue, and when the complainers petitioned it, the GM flat out said that as long as the game allowed it, it could be used(obvious bugs excepted) as just an intelligent use of the mechanics.

Sad that it has changed as much as it has, but if it continues this trend it will not be the game I signed up to play all those years ago.

While I do appreciate humor, I still should ask you to stay on topic. I made no edits to this thread, but autistic disorders clearly aren't related to the theme (and honestly, it isn't good thing to joke about).

You appear to have confused being mad, with being highly amused. I am laughing my ass off at you. Not with you, but AT you.

You didn't read the recent article from Eurogamer.net didn't you?

CCP has officially condoned the goonswarm attempt to destroy the EVE economy by giving the campaign it's blessing.

Isn't that what happened to the War Dec mechanics when the Privateers were in full swing? It was used in excess to the point CCP took notice and changed it?

I wouldn't say tone it down though. Keep that fire burning and burning hot.

Oh god I wish I still had an organ. I haven't masturbated in 6 years. I still remember it fondly though.

The PLEX comes from players who cannot play the game but have to buy ISKs with money, while others are not able to pay a few dollars per month for a game, because they cannot care to have an income or who they give their ISKs to when they buy PLEX. It does not matter how you pay for the game, but it does matter what attitude you bring into it.

I cannot say that EVE has gotten worse than the real life already is. It is only getting there and you can find rich and powerful people as well as homeless addicts, with the majority of people living in boxes made of ticky tacky.
