I'm not trying to stir up a lot of debate here, rather it might be fun to have a thread that gives a quick overview of all the ideas that someone doesn't like and a quick reasoning of why. if you disagree with a post please dig up an old thread about the issue and start your arguments there.

Please feel free to like posts that you agree with, that will give us a better feeling of the numbers involved.

I'm going to go with "reduce high end clone costs" Because imho this makes the powerful more powerful, which contributes to power creep.

I actually saw a guy suggest that EVE would get more subs if the game put your ship and modules back in your station/hanger after you died because "having to go several jumps and dock up to get your ship back is punishment enough, no need to really destroy your ship".......

I think my reply was along the lines of GB2WoW or something.

My least favorite ideas involve - A) Making highsec safer. B) Making wormholes more like K-space or Nullsec.
I think that covers a broad swath.

Theon - I enjoy how local works in K-space. Seconded.
Corey - Think I'm nuetral on that, probably working as intended.

The various "If EVE just became more like every other themepark MMO/copied mechanic X from them directly, it would gain a huge amount of subs." -proposals. Mainly because usually no proper thought is given to the consequenses of the addition or if it even makes any sense in EVE. The MMO graveyard is also full of such games or with the demanded feature, but it did nothing for them, so some explanation should be in order to show why it would work for EVE when it did nothing to so many others games, that were often much more compatible with the feature then EVE is.

AFK Cloaking
CVA
Mining ships
Making Hisec safer
Hisec = safe
SP for ISK/PLEX
SP remaps for ISK/PLEX

All are bad because the suggester rarely (if ever) thinks about how the changes will come around and bite them in the ass.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

We should form a Resistance movement and call it "Anti-Ghettoization Front" or something, because that's what the "more subs" people want but don't realize they want lol.

I've asked many times why these "more subs" people think that millions of people playing EVE (well, actually playing Tidi lol) would be a good thing and they never have a good answer for it.

EVE is like Hawaii, it's cool because it's small and has nice features to play with. Hawaii , like EVe, would be several thousand times less cool if it suddenly gained several million people lol.
