Here is a short list of things CCP can do to increase the playerbase.


  • High sec PvP flag, Make high sec safe sec so people who want to play the game casually without their experience being ruined can enjoy the game.
  • Reduce skill training time to something tolerable.
  • Have GMs provide consequences for scamming.
  • Consequences for corps and alliances that undertake large scale greifing operations.
  • War dec immunity flag in high sec
  • Generally make the game more pleasant for people who lack mental disorders.

  1. No. Try another game, that destroys the niche.
  2. No. That caters to attention deficient children and dilutes what intelligent community we have.
  3. No. That is really lame and cost of those GM's time would probably be more than it is worth.
  4. No. Make friends and learn the ways to get around this.
  5. No. This will make griefing without consequences in other systems possible. A safe haven for the people you hate.
  6. No. Get out troll, go back to Waste of Web

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

This is a recipe for ruining the game. Not improving it.

For ***** and giggles, please define griefing. I'd like to see your definition.

I live in High Sec, but even I disagree with the suggested changes. EVE is a mature game for mature players, and while I strongly advocate expansion, I don't support protecting people through artificial means (such as GM intervention and PVP-flagging). Let players learn how to fly safe if that's the game they enjoy - don't force it on them.

It's a dangerous universe. That's exciting in it's own right.

Really? Because this player wants a game to be different than YOU want the game they have to leave?

Eh, I dunno, #2 is something I've mentioned before on the old forums.

Make rats have a chance to drop Skill Point Books* that are "Bind on Pickup"** with a daily cap as to how much SP you can 'bank' on (say 10k per 24hr using server downtime as start point).

EVE doesn't have a whole lot for people like me (inb4urstupid). For me when I stop progressing my character in a noticeable way like through leveling. Everything just feels like side-progression.

So it would be nice to have a "carrot" that rewards me for actually logging in more than once every 24hrs to add to my skill queue.

Seriously, my character isn't going to get any better if I login and play for 4hrs or if I login for 2min to set a skill training; no incentive to login or even STAY logged.

*Points based on level of the rat destroyed compared with your "derived level"; so that fancy Titan main of yours can't go into a lvl 2 combat mission and expect 500 SP Books to drop Blink
**Introduce a RNG that will randomly pick a rewardee should there be a group; this prevents mains from bring alts in and "gifting" all the SP books to them [per cap limit]


Who knows, maybe if hi-seccers could train faster and get into the bigger ships they'd be more likely to go null-sec

anywhos, EEEEeeeee! Only 137D 16H 35M till my Military Ship queue is finished. And only 125D 4H 52M till I have most of the "Military" Certs at 'Standard' or better.Cool

Hrm, if i had to think of something that would get more subs it would be a bigger carrot for people to go after. I have zero ideas on what that carrot might be but that is CCP's job.

I have more space likes than you.
