EVE General Discussion

I feel for you. You found a way to make enough isk to pay for the game. I'm close to it myself with all 3 of my toons doing heavy PI, but I think the change will add alot to game play and warfare. Although I can't say how much or how it will effect people because I am a highsec person and this change will only mean a higher tax rate for me, which wasn't much to begin with. I'm speculating with the new system in place, the price of these goods will go up because if there isn't a customs office there then its a huge pain and the offices will be used in warfare. So it may mean more isk for the highsec pi's and lots more isk for the corps that hold a home system and can defend it. I really have no clue, i'm just guessing.

OP,
I have really hard time deciding which one should win... yours or this.

I encourage the OP to look into other ways to purchase PLEX. I buy two a month (used to be three but I have little need for that third alt anymore) and have not trained one PI skill on any pilot.

Eve has a multitude of ways to make tons of isk. I wouldn't put Pi high on that list at all. A couple months back I looked at Pi as a potential new venture and quickly dismissed it. It's way too much grunt work for too little profit compared to many other activities.

and again ... push

The problem is that if CCP were to give you the proper answer, they'd have to ban themselves afterwards for the nasty things they said…

so OP is mad that a new item/mechanic has been implimented into the game

One that you have to manufacture from a blueprint which is sold from LOYALTY POINT VENDORS.

Totaly forces people whom use plex to pay for game time to stop paying for said plex with isk and go out and buy customs offices instead.

Because customs offices are...... wait... who cares about them anyway? go away OP



p.s - There's people doing "Preoders" for customs office blueprints on the Trade forums - meaning they have the loyalty points stocked up and are wanting quick cash on the release date. I'm pleased to announce the going rate is around 35mil per BPC. So unless you plan to customs office every single planet in two regions, you wont be needing to break you're precious plex into isk to be able to afford one.

and again push...

Yes, and hes been bumping this thread since the 22nd of last month now. And on top of that doesn't even bother to read anything people post to help him understand any of it.

Its becoming an eyesore.

well ccp how long do you want to ignore a question from a long time customer ?
ppl like me have supported you long enough, and you already pissed off enough of them, most of them have left eve already, and ppl like me with now 6 years of playing eve or even longer are really very rare within the eve community, and we talk about first hand accounts, nothing else to make it clear.
dont break your given word, and as i said, what you deliver as features are kind of deals and promises toward the players too, and in the end the community has at least one last vote, and that is turning their back to you and quit eve online. how many quits can you afford before you understand that you are not the masters, you are employees ccp, everyone of you, you work in the end for us, and not otherwise, we are not cash delivering cattle where you can do with whatever you want, but maybe you understand only when its nearly too late for ya and when we as community have lost another great mmo that eve online was and can be again if you choose the right decisions, means directly dont touch pi, hands off custom offices, leave them npc, pi as it is still now is good, and eve community needs a steady stream of pi goods, and that business has to be open for everyone willing to choose it whereever he want, that was eve online philosophy all the years back.
and pi is, even when some forum flamer yell carebear, one base of the eve economy, even those forum flamers and "can i have your stuff" yellers need pi goods, even when they dont realize it.
every pvp ship directly produced in 0.0 space, from frigate toward capital ship needs a pos to run, who will be able to do that when pi goods are expensive like hell ?
or more basic, t2 ammo needs pi goods too, or do you think rocket fuel is something you can produce in npc station ? meep wrong... pi based.
pi is the basement for all real good stuff that you pew pew addicted guys need to have the fun, and you should be at least aware enough that your fun is in danger, not only the carebear you like to flame in forum.
because give a griefer in eve online an option to grief without fearing consequences and he will do it, no matter if others have to suffer or not, and to bring it back in mind, most pi and industry based stuff is done in small corps that cant defend against griefers and called in merc corps as example.
you want a stable and affordable flow of pi goods that ensure constant pew pew and fun ? that think twice and let ccp know what you think about this...

Ottman you are an extraordinarily bad poster.
