With this big unknown of "removing tediousness" from resource gathering and "industrial resource rebalancing", not to mention the spacescape of re-balancing all areas of space from high to null coming to Odyssey.....

If you pay for your accounts with auto renewal subscriptions, you may want to cancel your auto renewal.

Last month I was in an ISK bind due to lack of play time because of real world issues (stupid real job), so I just funded all my accounts with real on 3 month auto renewal. This means they were all coming up for renewal again in May.

I can't see re-subbing all my accounts for 3 months, in May, when it seems such a large change may be coming in June.

I'm certainly not going to need 4 accounts to fly from system to system not finding any high sec exploration sites or other locations to mine.

alternatively, you could stop crying about changes of which there are no details.

Is this a sky is falling and EVE will be forever ruined by a single "expansion" post?

I like how you are assuming the worst. Very well done.

Good troll post.

I'm pretty sure people have their own heads to think with.

I strongly endorse this.

I won't be unsubbing myself - I'm confident that I will be able to adapt to any changes - but I fully encourage all of my competitors to do as you say. Smile

What good will it do, if the details come after accounts auto resub.

I'm not urging people to quit playing EVE. I'm simply suggesting they stop auto renewal.

Last time CCP irked me to the point that I walked away for 1.5 years, my accounts had just auto resubbed, so I ended up losing about 5 months of subscription to my emo rage quit.


This time, I'll be sure to have weeks, not months, of game time prepaid, just in case I feel the need to emo rage quit for another couple years..

Your opinion has been noted.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Again. I'm not urging anyone to quit. I'm simply suggesting they cancel auto renewal so that they don't find themselves having multiple accounts with 5 months of game time pre-paid, when changes come that remove the reason for having all those accounts.

So do you quit or "prep-to-quit" every time there's a change coming? Learning to adapt instead of stomping your feet usually works best.

I won't be doing that, either. Unless they make it so T2 BPOs can't be plugged into high sec manufacturing slots, I have nothing to worry about. Cool

So… you're addressing a set of players that, by very definition, doesn't exist. Interesting.

This is the first time I've prepared to unsub my accounts, because this is the first time I've seen dev's hinting that changes will remove the need for all those accounts.

What some call tedious, I call the activities that I enjoy doing. What some call tedious, is the reason I have 4 accounts.

So, if CCP is going to remove the tedious, and rebalance away from high sec, then I'm either likely going to need fewer account, or perhaps none at all.

It is only prudent to not have all my accounts auto renew their subscription a month before what may be a huge impact on my play style.

How do you figure that high-sec, carebear, industrialists do not exist?

Oh, that have auto renewal, since we all pay with PLEX... got ya.

Proof?

Hint: you won't find any, since I've never prepared to quit, not urged others to prepare to quit.
