No changes to blob warfare, little room for solo or small gang PvP, silly changes to aggression mechanics, dumbing down the entire game so numpties can figure stuff out ..... and now with this latest patch a new fix.......

"An issue with the Caldari Achura females bra straps always being visible has now been fixed"

Why? What was wrong with the bra strap? All the Caldari Achura women I have met in real life have their bra strap visible....the brand was Accubra. Bring the bra strap back!!

You gots a purdy mouf on yah, boy.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

------ yup, and in that time have seen hundreds of flat chested avatars like yours who can't understand the bra strap.

Cause they weren't supposed to be visible when wearing a tank.

From how I understand things blob warfare probably won't be touched until they are done with the rebalance on all the ships so that they can work the new roles into the system.

TBH, I agree with this for the most part. I especially agree with the bolded part.

I've been largely inactive for a long time, but after watching the last Alliance Tournament I tried to get myself back into EVE. Unfortunately, I just couldn't gather the enthusiasm I needed. Knowing that pilot skill counts for very little these days, a "small" gang is considered 10-30 people, that the "I-win" button of MWD-ending warp scrambler is still around, and that webs still max at 60% really makes it hard to want to become active again.

I could add quite a few more things to the above list such as logistics being a requirement in just about any fight, but it'll do for starters. The simple fact is that the game isn't anywhere near as enjoyable as it once was. I used to continually post suggestions that, IMO, would improve the game and help make it as enjoyable as it once was, but I eventually got tired of tilting at windmills to no effect. After I finally realized the futility of my efforts, I largely gave up trying to get things to change aside from a post or two every few months.

It seems to me that the devs' chosen direction for the game is diametrically opposed to what I want to see, and I'm just one tiny voice trying to be heard over the cacophony of their plans for EVE. Moreover, very few of the players still active today ever got to experience EVE the way it was back in the day, so their only conception of the game is its currently-blobby state. As a result, they also naturally object to anything that might return EVE to the sandbox it once was since many of them enjoy the game as it is now.

Oh, well. Change is one of the constants in life, and no one ever promised it would be for the better.

This jaded and cynical post has been brought to you by my current exhaustion and the fact that I should've gone to bed an hour ago.

EDIT: LOL, I just re-read the original post and realized it was a troll. I have failed in epic fashion. I really need to make myself get some sleep - if I can't see through obvious troll posts on first read through, it's time to quit.

:) The bra strap is only symbolic of the changes brought to the game in the last few years.

EVE was built off the back of the opportunity it provided to every player - the opportunity for individual enterprise, daring and risk taking, whilst offering players the great opportunity to team with others and be skillful and creative. Blobs always existed, and they are part of the EVE fabric, but what is lost is the spirit of risk and adventure that this game so beautifully facilitated.

The great Chribba himself. I don't know if I should be honoured, humbled or whether i should simply start mission running again.

No sir, bra straps won't get me back but something like the days of a handful of vagabonds being able to actually 'skirmish' a larger fleet will.

You are SO right. There needs to be an expansion solely on improving game play for blobs.

TiDI was a nice start but there are way too many inconveniences about it still.

And i could not agree more about there is still little space for solo or small gang PvP. This must change. Solo PVP and small gang PVP is fundamentally wrong and should be removed from the game.

Just out of curiosity, when was Eve - 'the real Eve', and when and what single thing marked the start of the 'decline'?

This is not a signature.

OP looks like one of those infamous spanish grannies who are fat, ugly as sin and if you look closely, you see a very well trimmed beard.

Not very attractive indeed.

there is no decline. only bored people with little more to say on the forums with an alt that EVE is dead, EVE is in decline, EVE is broke, EVE isn't what i want, EVE is blah blah blah ! wah wah wah ! i want a golden goose NOW daddy !!!!!!

if the same people that whine about EVE on here spent half the time they do posting bollox on the forums actualy played the game then all would be good and perhaps they'd learn something.

am i expecting too much from idiots ?

Blob tactics are perfectly reasonable tactics.

If you are solo/small gang PVP then you need to understand that you may not be the biggest fish in the pond. Find another pond or wait for them to pass through.

Dont cry about it on the forums.

What do you suggest? Make 20+ fleets an exploit?
