EVE Information Portal

Like many who posted before me, I have been "adapting".

Retribution seems, once again, to be a poorly thought out set of changes. These changes seem so illogical that I must belive that CCP has some weird hidden agenda. Other aspects of Retribution seem to be simply and inexplicably designed to bankrupt CCP by annoying and pissing off the player base.

1) dental drill flagging alarms - my speakers easily reproduce them; my ears easily hear them - they are annoying as hell. I have many other complaints about the new sounds. In fact, I would say that the new sounds have been engineered by morons. And QC ? I guess it does not exist at CCP.
2) NPC AI - There is no consistent pattern of NPC aggro that I can identify that will allow for an aggro management strategy. I can't figure it out as it does not seem to be consistent based upon many Dev blog entries and/or player statements of functionality nor my own personal observation. The NPCs seem to randomly switch targets regardless of who is doing what or when it gets done.
3) NPC EWAR is seriously overpowered. This is not balance in any way. This has NOT increased the fun. It's only annoying as hell.
[...]
5) Bounty system : engineered by morons. Who designed a system that allows frivolous bounties to be placed on anybody/everybody? There was no foresight to see that this "new and improved system" would be abused to scare noobs and could be interpreted as cyber bullying. Good job.

EvE is/was a fun game. What is no fun at all is the seemingly uninterrupted stream of changes for the sake of change that are poorly thought out and/or down right annoying. I would love to hear an objective analysis (or even an opinion) from the Dev Team with regard to exactly how all these changes have improved the game and added to the fun.

In the drive for balance, they have created imbalance. In the drive for more challenge they created layered annoyances. I don't like the direction this game has taken. There are a growing number of disincentives to sub.

What the perkle garaztin rice balls is wrong with you people?
Bounties always have a reason behind them, and donot have an effect on you at all!

CCP go and make a login banner in 60 point flashing font that bounties do not equal kill rights!
I garuntee the problem will be over after that.
From seizures, knowledge or the great hunt of the complaining parties that started the assault on our eyes.

You are wrong!
Most of the current bounties do not have an reason behind them! They are spend from some idiot with 100k ISK for no good reason.
For a question in a help channel, for declining accepting a convo or declining to go into your fugging dumb corp or just because you have no bounty at present etc.
We all know, that a bounty does not give legal rights to kill or attack someone! AND THIS IS NOT THE POINT! To reduce the problem to a "simple misunderstanding" would be a crude mistake and would be highly inappropriate.

And your "garuntee" that the problem will be easy gone by just adding a dumb banner into the loginscreen is impudent and shows us, that you have absolutely NOT understand the real problem behind this stupid new bounty system!

A bounty gives someone a touch of an criminal. I, and many many others, do not wish to have a bounty because They NEVER did somethring wrong!

A bounty effects me and others. Even if it is 100k ISK. At least it effects CCP as corporation with the need to generate real money with their product. Two Accounts canceled. After more then 4 years continued subscription (a long time supporter of a help channel). More will follow. I know that. My last Petition was answered with a mass response. I am not allone.

It is not the little bounty for nothing.. it is also the message that comes with it. The message from the disposer AND from CCP.
Think about it. Why does CCP exludes themself from placing bounties on Dev's, GM's and Volunteers? They know that the current system is just a dumb griefing tool which is used from every idiot with 100k ISK.
