No weirder than you commenting about it, which has no bearing whatsoever on the topic of points presented. Idea

No, it was not aimed to you, but to Ace, who posts about WoW. Her alt comment was so weird that I felt temptation to make that comment.


My apologies.

What's really weird is your constant references to WoW.......in almost every thread no matter the subject. It's like a guy who gets a new girlfriend and constantly talks about the old one.

Play your own game. Nothing else matters. If listening to pre-pubescent FCs rage over a headset is your thing, rock on. Twisted

Thing is...it's not the old one.

I didn't quit WoW to play EvE. I play both games.

Sometimes I play 4 MMOs at once.

Yeah, a multigamer.

I personally think they HATE it because IT IS possible to remain in high sec 100% of the time and have an infinite amount of fun without losing your stuff in otherwise pointless ganks or NULL SEC blobs. I does feel like there's a campaign to stranglehold high sec more and more to force risk averse out and into the spider webs to appease the <0.5 bored.

I could not have said it better myself!
"...A campaign to stranglehold High-Sec ... to force [players] into the spider webs to appease the <0.5 bored..."
That's not some vague or eerie feeling you're having, that's the way the game is being designed. That's what the "<0.5 bored" have been clamoring for, literally for years! And that's what CCP has been giving them. The game is being designed to make High-Sec unpleasant, unproductive, and unappealing, in order to satisfy the need for victims in the lower security sectors.

Incentivising group play simply won't work on me, no matter how big the incentive, and making it obvious that you are losing out for being solo in certain situations is a huge mistake in game design.

CCP isn't "Incentivising group play." They hook you, then lure or force you into low-sec/null-sec by slowly designing all High-sec activities to be unpleasant, unproductive and unappealing.

CCP only listens to the "High-Sec is killing EVE" threads, for one very good reason: The <0.5 Predators are inherently motivated to promote the game, and encourage other people to try it. Whereas the "Why is PVE so horrible in this game" threads are ignored because in their very expression they are signaling people to "Stay as far away from EVE as you can!"

My fingers are crossed for "Star Citizen."

Don't ask me to post with my main! You post with your main first!

What dictates the game is money.

CCP has two choices: make a game for the players to pay to play; or close the game because it's not how they designed it.

Since EvE is their flagship game, it behooves them to keep the doors open.

So if enough PvErs arrive to play EvE (say after Star Citizen is released, or even the hype about the game now) to offset the PvP player numbers, they would have to make some hard decisions as a company (just like Blizzard is doing with the increased competition in MMOs).

Oh, yeah EvE can change for the right amount of money. And PvE players tend to have plenty of disposable income to buy fluff.........
