EVE Information Portal

Basicly since he knows not to much about eve he should have been on that fireing list they just went thru.

I am truly sorry for all the CCP employees that are going to lose their jobs.

However, judging by CCP Omen's responses in this thread, he is totally clueless about this game and how people play it.

I was just wondering if he is still going to have a job within CCP, and if so why ?

this thread is full of tears *rofl*

this game is a MMO - MASSIVE Multiplayer Online game: You are NOT suppose to play ths game all allone...
You SHOULD interact with other ppl, join corps, join allys....
So stop ******* crying because you cant get rich anymore doing PI ALL ALLONE, having a POS ALL ALLONE, you are NOT suppose to...

Just stop PI then if its to complicatet, to expensive because of those LOLTAXES or JOIN A CORP OR ALLY ...
And nothing is wrong on big blobs...real life is full of big blobs : USA, RUSSIAN, EUROS....its normal

CCP has to fire ppl because of mistakes and PI in is actuall way its fail - SOOOO MUCH ******* AFK ISK coming in the game, every idiot can pay 3 acc with isk from PI... and CCP earns? what?


Just stop crying, be constructive like allot ppl are in this thread and eat what comes or do something different.

PI is not the main part of eve...

Bad bones of idea around POCO:

1) presumption about that someone will share planet if he will have posibility to lock it down. Lock it down mean more profit and eliminating competition. Monopoly do you know it from RL life? There are laws against monopoly and it has reason.
2) logs in wallet show exactly who and when he did pay taxes. When I want hunt down someone who is in my space. I would put small taxes on POCO to see who and when, then I will just camp POCO with cloked gang boat and kill him. Free juicy targets.
3) all CO's will be eliminated in one single step, with supply of BPC just from LP store will production of new POCOs slowly fullfil market needs. CCP know how many active planets actually producing PI to market. Imagine spike in demand/supply chain at least in one month transition period. POCOs wouldn't cost 100mil but I expect it in first few weeks going over 1bil per each.
4) POCOs can be set up only player who is in corporation and have correct rights to do it. How many coporations have given these rights to all members? I can't imagine that I would travel across EVE universe just because some peon in my corporation want to POCO at particular planet. BTW it completely block access to PI for huge number of players in EVE.

Conclusion: I can foresee 1st flashes of it by just cheacking graphs on market. PI pices will go 10 times expensive than are, then will slowly fall down over months. Because many planets get locked just for only owner of POCO and his friends (may be). Most of PI producers would give it up or partially move alts to high-sec. High sec planets does produce 1/5 to 1/10 of what planets in 0.0 or wh-space does. So I do expect new stable prices around 5 times more expensive than are pre-blog annoucement.

It is really what Omen want to, or he has no authority who will correct him? Are there in CCP any senior developers who can teach other to rething steps with more care?

Quick bandage of bad idea is removing ability to lock down POCO access, 100% taxes could be enough. Owner still have great intel adventage by just checking wallet to see who and when using his POCO. It is like having cloaked spy 24/7 sitting at all his owned POCOs.

Damn, you guys need to take a long hard look at your selves... Calling for people to be fired because they have the desency to try and answer some questions?! That's real scummy.

How many games have you played where the developers are this active on the forums and let you know way ahead of time what they have planed?

Yes but it is a relatively new feature so it's foolish to think that it would never change. And don't kid yourself, some crybabies may stop their PI production but new PI industrialists will spring up to take their place.

I am not calling for anyone to be sacked.

I was just suggesting that if people need to be sacked, they should keep the guys who have a clue.

One thing I don't think anyone else has mentioned (but can't be bothered to read the last 20 pages), is that "100% tax" is far from 100% of market price. It's 12k isk for P3 items (such as robotics, currently 70k market price), and just 180 isk por P2 (such as coolant, uranium, mech parts, currently around 10k on market).

The only exception is P4 items where 100% tax is 1 million isk.

Also PI doesnt add any isk to the game, just moves the isk already there around. And in fact at the moment it removes a .. tiny amount :)

I don't think CCP has really thought this through and I think this is a bad idea. The CSM might have brought it up but a change this big should probably get a citizen vote. As far as the comments about this being an MMO and if I want to play I NEED to be in a large corp blah, blah, blah. I really have to laugh at the stupidity of people who say it's an MMO and you need to interact with players more. Those are the people who have no RL interaction and thus must force others into their "world". It's a game and I and others play it the way we chose to enjoy it or we take our money elsewhere. Peak time players used to be in the 50k range, recently I have noticed that it is around 40k. A 20% drop is bad for any business. 80% of businesses are small business and constantly rewarding the bully alliances more power in the game just reduces the interaction that CCP supposedly wants. I suggest CCP reconsider it's approach of mega corps and alliances and tune the game to support smaller corporations where members aren't just another toon, they are part of the team. I could go on but it would be pointless since I don't think anyone really "listens" in here anyway. If CCP insists on putting this forward I would suggest the following.
1. Only implement this where there is player sovereignty.
2. Use a land grab approach to the CO's. For example in a certain time frame have their ownership "expire" spaced randomly with time. Once a CO expires it can be claimed through a visitation process. (however you want to implement, could be a right click to claim with a 5, 10 min timer) Until it is "claimed" the CO still works like normal. Once claimed it becomes the property of the owner and if destroyed must be replaced. This will minimize the transition for PI products (prices have already double in the last two days.)
3. Increase the command centers ability to upload PI to space. Not as easy as the CO but enough to make it worth playing Ninja.
