EVE General Discussion

i will get half the dc's for the same RP post-expansion, plus there is a monetary cost? anything else, or does that cover it?

thank you - so, no brainer, cash out now?

Nope, better off to cancel your account. No really, since it wasn't even announced that a non-broken system CCP put in that is suddenly borken by their standards all your time spent training for research agents was invalidated because a butthurt individual suddenly didn't like it. Its not like R&D agents were broken a year ago and no one complained about it but for the ghosting of dead accounts creating RP, but suddenly the system needs to be change with no recompensation what so ever because now that some people may not even want the skills anymore.

Don't know about you, but I want the 30 days paid in subscription time back + isk spent on skillbooks so I can correct the issue of the sudden change and reallocate the skill points...I just do not care for R&D agents anymore when I made my choice to train for them over a year ago and the system was working as intended up until that point but for ghost accumulation from dead accounts.

last dumb question - when is the expansion due? is it this week? the website was unclear

Or do what I will do and get a character back into FW, which will make Data Core accumulation (when combined with my research agents) far more productive, not to mention fun.

However, since that would involve combat that brings us right back to him being in a pod again.

Edit: It's also pertinent that in the new expansion you'll get a chance to customize your appearance again, which gives you a shot at actually growing a face this time.

Adapt.

Most R&D pilots are just alts for the sole reason of passive datacore farming. So instead of QQing over the changes start training your R&D alts to use stealth bombers and get them into FW and do the missions. Doing this may actually yield you more cores then running mulitple alts. However you will lose the passive ability of farming them, but that is one thing that they are trying to get rid of.

But instead of CCP doing something logical and having research points cease to accummulate once x number of days pass without interacting with the research agent, they decided to "fix" factional warfare by stripping down a side career. Then they can pat themselves on the back and tell themselves how awesome they think outside of the box by changing two issues with one code change.

Perhaps the various blueprint research aspects will be reviewed next. Don't players plug in a print for some action, wait some time, and out spits potential better profits? Seems very similar in design to this combat pilot.

as soon as the changes were even hinted at (during fan fest i think) i immediately cashed in my datacores id sat on for over a year. I imagine there will be a price crash if there isnt one already.

If you were paying 150 RP/datacore (the starship engineering cores) under the old system, you'll only pay 100 RP/datacore after the 22nd. So no, you should not cash out.

The 100 RP/datacore prices won't be changing.

If you were paying 50 RP/datacore under the old system, you'll be paying 100 RP each after tomorrow, so *yes* you should cash those out.

Already cashed out mines and not intending to spend whatever tedious time needed any more to get those unless prices are worthy of the time needed to do it.

However I'm sure this will make happy all of those doing this with their army of alts, nice move CCP.
