We all know that over the last few years, CCP has constantly buffed highsec carebears proportionally to how much they moaned on the forums. Yet even after barge changes and the 25x increase in wardec costs in the last 6 months alone, they still cry out for highsec to be nerfed to the ground. Even after all the bones CCP has fed them, they still whine. What does this show?

It shows they cannot be satisfied, and that trying to please them without killing the game will be pointless. So, what needs to happen now? We need a reversal of the nerfs that the carebears have bought, inital wardeccing costs need to be bought down, insurance needs to be returned to concorded ships, eventually ending with an Eve unspoilt by their whinging, as it was meant to be.

Mr. Johnny CCP employee may think "It's a good idea, but what about all the lost subscriptions", well, do we need these people who do nothing but return to their keyboard every 40 minutes to unloaded ice into their stationary Orca, who only interact with other players when they are nerf-calling on the forums or filling local with their foul language? I think not. Perhaps some of them will be able to adapt to the changes, and actually fit a tank on their ship. Others may choose to vent their frustration that they have the right to sit in space making isk for PLEX in an endless cycle, and that getting ganked will cause them to ragequit and cancel their (insert number of subsciptions here) accounts.

But what is lost in their subscription fees will be gained in returning players who left because of the mistakes CCP has made in the past, and new ones that have been inspired by tales such as a Burn Jita event twice as large as the one in April, enabled by the restoration of common sense to highsec. Of course, gankers are still ganking, but if highsec were restored to its original format, it would be more prevelant. Crucible was supposed to re-ignite the fire. It did that to some extent, if it weren't the thorn in the backside that ended most Maelstrom ganks. Then we had Inferno, the wardec fee changes and barge buffs both harmed highsec severely. Let's hope that trend doesn't continue and we mend the damage before it's too late.
