EVE General Discussion

Oh, fuckin Aye! Pardon me, I did not ******* know that you were more of a ******* expert at CCP's numbers then CCP! You have amazed me with your stellar performance of absolutely nothing regarding nothing to do with the discussion! I forgot that fanboys with numbers from the official source are more god damn expert at applying said numbers then a well funded company with an inherent interest in understanding the trends within the use of their own product to better understand how to make more money and maintain the hahah..."integrity" of their product.

What would the world do without you fanboys to correct those idiots at ccp at the use of their own numbers.

Oh...wait...CCP never talked to me to understand just how many alts I have and which one I claim to be a main, if such a vague term can be applied to any one of them, in order to understand if I identify myself with hisec, lowsec, or nullsec during the interstellar census of stardate 0.20101.48402.1Beta-4.

Of course no matter how many times you post ramblings about your flimsy numbers that you hit with your baseless calculations in order skew the population numbers in whatever way you perceive to be useful to your argument about where the player base is actually in......wait, do you see that? Your stupid attempt of establishing where the playerbase really is has come full circle to show that even if you were right, it means nothing because you are rambling on about numbers that have nothing to do with the actual point of this thread which is a busted game mechanic! Its like a ******* boomerang! You throw numbers out there and it comes flying right back to you saying, "THIS STILL MEANS NOTHING TO THIS DISCUSSION!!!!"

hahahahah...



Cake or Pie?

Automating API tasks and information sorting isn't 'botting'. If it was, Chribba would have been banned years ago.

Another strawman. Nothing of the sort has been claimed (except by you).

Yes, that's kind of my point: people are trying to assign a meaning to the statistics that they don't have, and that CCP have never said anything about. I'm simply explaining to you what they actually say and how this can result in them showing the exact opposite of what you claim.

The simple fact remains: no, 70% of players do not live in highsec — the percentage of players living in highsec is unknown and unknowable. No amount of ranting and raving from your side will change this fact. You're better off calming down and just admit that the argument you tried to make based on this claim was, in fact, without any basis; that the supposed problem that such a statistic would create may actually not exist.

It would be interesting to see character distribution with characters tied to accounts via IP address on login.

Although you'd have to make the assumption that the highest SP character is the "main" account, which isn't always accurate. And it'd still be a little inaccurate if it was done on a snapshot based on where people were at a single point in time, but it'd beat just plain character distribution.

right otec anyone?

No, that is not a requirement to create PvP on a massive scale, or the PvP on a massive scale that has happened throughout EVE's history wouldn't have happened.

Stagnation can just as well come from the difficulty and cost of ousting the inhabitants of the system, for instance…

sorry, not using any links on this forum. Other forums, okay, but this forum? Kinda like sleeping with an aids ridden hooker without a condom while waving around a stack of money. You know you are getting screwed for sure, but what virus you are going to catch is unknown, but what is known is that you are catching something.

right like otec?

On this we can absolutely agree upon.

I am not saying that 100% of hulkageddon is being funded by their moon. That means it is not the only reason that goons can fund hulkageddon. If CCp took the moon out right now, hulkageddon could easily continue on, or most likely would.

What I was saying is that the entire hulkageddon situation, where people are being paid to grief made me consider means that the goons can fund such a project indefinitely. What sources of income does a major alliance have? Chances are they have their hands in just about every means of making isk, but which ones are unique to major alliances? Refine that down to moon mining and I ended up with the experience I had with a pos moon mining network as a rather hypocritical means of funding the war on miners, afk moon mining. This linked up with the recent change to datacores in which ccp said that it was just to easy and to passive of a means of making isk. This all boiled down to the fact that moon mining is passive as no one is actively piloting a ship to harvest the materials from the moon. All the other nonsense related to moon mining is not counted as actively harvesting the materials. So regardless of hulkageddon teetering on the output of a moon, or otherwise, the point of the thread is to shine a light on a mechanic that is flawed and outdated according to CCP's statements and recent changes.


No, I do not have any real stream of datacores, I don't really care much about the change, nor am I a miner that has been blasted in hulkageddon, though I do have a problem with the fact that I have talked to some of those hulk pilots and that they are simply players trying to be as active in eve as they can within their RL obligations. It is better to have more people in game that can have various experiences that they are seeking out then to purge an entire segment of the game's population for some scam that the goons are pulling that is thinly vieled as an attack against people that are being portrayed as parasites of the game.
