Player Features and Ideas Discussion

In the last months there was a big rise in the plex prices and many stopped playing eve... and this number is still growing...
Read this: EVENEWS

There may be many causes for this, maybe the game development is not fast enough to delivery the constant innovation that the playerbase demand, maybe the 0.0 game got boring because the "game" is already won by the blob, and trying to do anything results into frustration...

Most of eve player are 20+ years old and are on college or have jobs, this means that they don't stay the whole day in front of the computer and use their time into the game to have some fun and relax. Sometimes, people use EVE as a background game, while play other games, and those who never do this and get bored of doing always the same thing with no new content in their play-style leaves game. And in the long run, reduces CCP income.

The Ideal solution for the eve universe would be to have many games into one, like having DUST and EVE, if you are not in the mood to play eve, you play dust. If you don't want to go run missions in Hi-sec, you stay in the station playing with the market. Or building a planetary harvesting system. Anyway, there should be more options to keep players playing eve in all situations. and also to keep All sorts of players playing it. That is why CCP should make more different kinds of gameplay, like Revamping the POS system into something that the player could constantly upgrade (See my signature for more info on this) and also create space casinos for players to "Walk in station" and play them.

Also about the development and innovations delivery, What happens now is that CCP develops in cycles of 6 months. This model is somewhat many years obsolete. The most successful games developers in the moment AND the most successful companies are working with the doctrine of "Kaizen" - constant improvement, this means that if you have something good to delivery, delivery it NOW, delivery something new every week! to keep the consumers always using your product! But keep the big expansions for Epic features, like was the Incursion expansion, or the one that added wormholes. Ship balancing and new ships are not this kind of epic... and should be used to constantly feed the players will to play.

Of course you don't like to hear other games names, but pretending they dont exist is dumb. CCP compete with them for player attention and should look to them and study where they are doing the right stuff and where they are failing, example:









I'm Just suggesting to EVE development system and payment method to be different, following other companies that are obtaining much more success then CCP. I'm not saying to remove afk cloakers nor change skill systems, nor to change the things that make EVE a success. And I really don't want to discuss about how to play the game. It is how CCP manages things. ( And how the development rate is possible below community expectations)

It is true that CCP is trying this path Creating DUST514 but it is not a computer game.

So CCP, could act NOW seeing their income drop or wait the point of no return, as EVE greatest value lies on the player content, if you lose most of players it will be game over... for eve and for dust.

Obs: If someone is going to post something here, at last be someone that have a degree in an administration or engineering area or at last have experience on what is talking about.

Obs2: EVE is the best game ever and I really would like to see it recognized by the world and have the biggest playerbase of all. but I think I just have to stop playing it for about a year or so, until its development reaches a new level and matches my expectations...

Obs3: If you liked it, or think that CCP should take at last a look in this topic give it a like in the button above. thx!

This is just a "reboot" of the same thread after the OP ran into criticism.[/quote]

Yes it is, I removed the most polemic parts so it could be focused on the subject. Absolutely no need for you to bring it back. Especially if you have nothing to add to the topic.
