I agree with the OP - this is total bullpoop. I now have to *scan people down* when I want to suicide gank them. What the hell, CCP?!


You don't actually have to scan for them, you enter system and it's there, just look around.

do I criticize you on how you like to play the game?


I think you will find that is exactly what you are doing.



I don't understand, maybe I'm just dumb or something, it is possible, did the ice belts get in your way or something? You were free to go and gank anyone there and most likely be successful. or just go about you business as usual, if you're not an ice miner, how does my whining about the ice changes criticize your game play?


The community as a whole supports the change. You are against the change. Therefore you (the minority) are attempting to dictate to the community (the majority).

So yes, you are dumb.



and another non-answer, that does not tell me how it affects your game play... it's just something like I'm part of the group and the group says BLAH, if the group says jump off the bridge will you jump with them?

I never said it affects my game play. I countered your statement that you are not criticizing other peoples style of play. You are. I then proceeded to confirm your belief that you are dumb for not realizing this.

I could give two ***** about ice mining in any way shape or form.

yeah, and then he will get projects that fall behind on their schedules.


What projects? You just sit there & play games anyway.

Dear CCP

Thanks for screwing up ice mining COMPLETELY, and with that the whole game for me, now I have nothing to do while I'm bored at work!!!

I now have 3 accounts that I was paying for with real money that will no longer be needed, nice going!


Let the flaming begin!



let me guess some body who never reads the devblogs


nope, I read it and complained, complaining don't help, CCP will do what they want no matter what we think. I don't really care too much about the changes, I'll just cancel 3 "payed" accounts and continue playing on one.


To answer one of the other commetns on why I'm paying for my accounts with real money:
I pay for my accounts because I can, I spend my isk on ships for pvp and pve stuff. I think I'll have to resort to buying plex from now on, can spend the money I was paying for the other 3 accounts on plex.

Today it's ice miner tears. They're okay, I guess. Though hardly unexpected.

The real fun will be when ice triples (or more) in price. Then you'll be seeing some serious crying in here. It may take a few months due to the recent stockpiling, but I have patience. It'll be worth the wait for the epic blubbering I expect to be seeing.

Completely agree with the OP.
After ice mining the old way I can't realistically be expected to click more than one button every 20 minutes or so.
What am I supposed to do with QWERTYICEMINER001 through to QWERTYICEMINER087 now?

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Aye, I have some fuel blocks stockpiled, hoping to make a nice profit off of that.

I too am affected by the change as I would ice mine at work. However, there are some good reasons for the change.

Seems to me that you should have read the Dev Blogs about the proposed changes and commented on them during the months leading up to the change. Now you are just whining.



Yep, I'm definitely whining :)

REALLY, I facking hate botting just as much maybe even more than most...



Then why do you aspire to be like them?



How? I'm at my PC managing all 4 accounts manually... how am I aspiring to be a botter?



Let's see, "monitoring" 4 accounts while I assume at least sometimes working, which everyone knows works out to you being AFK, which is a violation of the laws of Highsec and bot-aspirant.

You people are nuts.

Ice isn't going to triple in price. The higher the price, the more people will hunt it down to mine it, so the lower the price will be. If it goes up too high, CCP will fiddle with the sites.

ROFL, CCP is stupid if you have played for more than a year you accept the CCP company motto is "Morons In Space"

You can get mad about the changes or quit, I bought 3 years of ice for my poses last week because i had faith in ccp to F this up hardcore like it does most things =)

because remember the motto, CCP morons in space =)

After watching my local ice field get depleted in 1.5 hours in high sec i realized ccp is going to get a lot of angry cancels this month. I would say there accounts will be down 2-10% by the end of the month.
Think CCP i know its hard for you to do this being a moron but If the guy who took 3 years to train 10 accounts cant mine ice he will just stop paying you.

Which part of ice fields going from 100 miners mining an unlimited supply to some miners mining a severely limited field once every four hours is over your head?

Mine scordite instead, veldspar omber or plagioglase, same boring stuff.

EDIT: as far as I'm concerned, the less AFK alts there are the better this game will be.


FYI AFK alts are still paying customers which put money into CCP wallet which in returns pays the overhead which keeps the servers running. So what you are saying is EVE needs less accounts thus less expansions and less content am I correct?
