EVE General Discussion

CCP doesn't need any new DLC stuff to prevent ganking. It's as simple as "If ship is in highsec, force safety to green".

How much revenue would a unit provide to buy a "ganking immunity booster" for say 7 days? $5? A PLEX? 10 PLEXes? The value proposition for absolute safety when mining or missioning in highsec is definitely there.

Plenty of ways to sell this as DLC as well. "Purchase this to unlock stasis field generators on your pod. Each stasis generator recharge pack (available in the NEX store) activates to provide 20 seconds of invulnerability whenever the player is damaged by another player in highsec. Stock up and save!"

And IMO something like this would fly with the vast majority of the player base. Pimped out mission runners and 23x7 miners would be all over it. Gankers might be at peace with it because ostensibly every time they shoot at an "immune" person it costs them a bunch of cash.

Now remove the circa 50% of WoW players that reside in Asia, seeing as you've specifically excluded Asian MMOs you may as well exclude Asian players as well.

By the wat your numbers are out by around 10%, WoW currently has a total of just over 8 million subscribers including those from Asia, not 9 million.

edit - oh I forgot, you have me blocked because I, among others, pull you up on the stupid crap you spout about how Eve needs to follow WoWs example and appeal to the masses, even though it's been doing very well following its own path for the last 10 years.

Any everybody knows if you continue to insult half the MMO players, you'll have a dead game. Why come to a game that from the start doesn't care about them?

EvE isn't going anywhere until it looks to attract the very players you insult...and yeah, you'll need them from everywhere, including WoW.

Business 101.

You pretend to be so concerned about driving away players by trashing WoW, yet you don't care at all about driving them away by relentlessly promoting another game. Could you be more of a hypocrite?


That's provably false. SWG was drastically altered to attempt to bring in WoW players. EVE is still here. SWG is not.

poor George Orwell, must be rolling in his grave watching his shiet quoted by this douche lol

They must, they have won the Americas worse company contest two years in a row, and well on their way to three.
EA is the only gaming company I have sworn to never spend a penny on again.

One of the draws for myself and I would image others is the fact that you are not affiliated with EA/Activision entities.

I find it absolutely pitiful that you would hire a scumbag from a corporation known to be despised by a large and vast portion of the game industry.

You do this to solve what you call problems developing multiple titles at the same time. This is because of your over-reaching greed and arrogance.

Instead of developing real content, we get useless confusing bullshit like the new skill rename which sounds like a an illiterate hobo wrote them, and content like the AURUM garbage and 4 prison cells you call WIS.

Where is the REAL content. (i.e. SOV changes, Modular POSes, and probably a thousand other things the playerbase has been asking for.)

And then I look at where the resources missing from EVE are going and I see you can't even develop your other titles properly.

You ****** DUST is the ass by making it FTP and exclusive to the PS3(I don't blame CCP because its not on Xbox that was Microsoft's fault. but no PC version, thats on CCP ), I have no faith you won't **** World of Darkness similarly.

If you need to hire a useless executive **** from EA (i.e. Greed Inc.) to develop three games maybe you need to put one on the back burner.

Instead of learning the lesson of Incarnageddon Hilmar gave lip-service at the time, and I'm slowly seeing CCP has no intention of holding to what was said. I will watch very closely, and if this trend keeps up Sub cancellations may be in order.

Remember who made you the company you are, and remember Incarna .

TL:DR This shows the true face of CCP and a glimpse at possible future business practices, and it is appalling.

TL:DR True face of CCP - "Crowd Control Productions" - Group of university graduates intensely brainwashed with capitalistic/sociopathic business practice theories, lacking a creative vision, who think they are intellectually superior to the crowd that feeds them, because they can effectively delude and milk them, without actually delivering any game content.

If the only kind of content you can think of is fantasy themed, then your creative vision/ ability to create some is as good as CCP's. EVE is a sci-fi universe game, therefore, it's content is sci-fi themed.



Hum, interesting. I'm kinda curious now, could you please tell me... do these "tools" and "player content" of yours include anything besides war waging corporations and their tools to exploit asteroids, moons, planets in a capitalist fashion race for profit? Maybe a little programming gimmick or sume number crunching with a new photoshop colorful picture on top that you call an "expansion"?
