EVE General Discussion

The fact that so many people play FPS games is a GOOD reason to never do anything such thing in EVE. CCP should be targeting people who DON'T need or want instant gratification.

That "i want it now" crowd has destroyed every game they've touched. EVE online barriers to entry has kept subscription levels relatively low (compared to WoW). Those same barriers to entry has also kept EVE's subscription levels incredibly high (compared to all the instant gratification mmos that DO NOT EXIST anymore lol). Keeping the wrong type of players out is good for the game as it keeps the "gimmie gimme" lobbying to a minimum.

I guess its time to block you as you run out of arguments

Your assumption that lots of players hesitate to go low or nul sec, due to isk considerations(?) is not a correct one in all cases, generally speaking. Many players are able to just change some plexes, fit any ship they want (limited only by their present skill points) and search for any fight low or nul sec for fun, knowing of course that he/she will loose the ship, vetry soon that is. As long as they get good fights in return, then it is all ok with them.

In my opinion maybe part of the problem is that due to the very, very many alliances in low and 0-sec (by pirates) solo players coming in to fight see themselves facing often 5-15 opponents at the same time (due to the very big alliances the opponents made).

So, wheras you state high sec players go for safety...at the same time you see the pirates making aliances and even bigger aliances, thus also going for an almost 80%safety on low and nul sec.

So, those very big alliances (many pirates of different corporations all supporting and helping each other) make it tricky and somewhat difficult to go for the fights in low or nul sec. for solo players or a fleet of 2or 3 players. But then again, such makes it a challenge, in my opinion.

I myself prefer solo and I often intend to visit the low and 0 sec for the fights, but it is very difficult and tricky to stay 'alive' for more than 30 minutes (If I survive in 0 sec for say more than 30 minutes then I already feel good like "I passed the test hahaha) So you can't generalize that high sec players go for less risks(!) To the contrary, often when I loose fights again (I allways do, so what) and I watch the killboard afterwards then I see that I was shot down by another pirate that "did not even loose 1x ship in the last 4 months!'. So, my point: which players go for the more risks: the high sec ones or the nul/low sec ones? I would not dare to say, since I simply do not know.

Confirmed Harry is a teenager

COD is getting old because of people like you who did want to keep it the same all the time, thats why they are loosing over the long run to battlefield and games like planetside 2, they move forward much faster

people like you are holding up and damaging eve on the long run as well, you don't want changes you want to keep everything the same, this is not how it works, things need to be developed and get better, only adding to the game will improve it, not keeping it the same

you destroyed the WiS content, you destroy fast phased action, all stuff people want... I said it numerous times, CCP should not listen to their some pigheaded playerbase, they just will outdate the game over time, they need to attract more people to it, and not stop doing just that

if it makes some people sad who are resistant to change, so be it... those who don't want to move and adapt, are dead already

So why did halo 4 go from a million to around 30k in about 4 months? Its now in a few thousand while EVE is at an average high of 50k and growing.

This is why we get a new CoD every six months, these games only live for six months at best.

.. yes I am living on a tree

COD outsold battlefield 3 and planetside combined. I hate COD, but you can;t deny it get's sales. That said, not every game needs to be a COD clone, or even serve to the COD market. EVE serves a different player base. That player base does not include you. That's why you don't like EVE and want to change EVERYTHING.



People like us love EVE for what it is. EVE still changes and improves. EVE is not even close to what it was when I started playing, and they will continue to improve it. But they won;t do that by dunking the economy so everyone can just jump in as many disposable ships as they want. The idea is to push forward in EVE you need to actually fly your ship well, so losing it has to have an impact. Take that impact away and everyone will start flying their ships like retards.
Take your WCS off and maybe you;d realise your ships don't have to die all the time.


CCP killed WiS because they were losing sight of what their players wanted. They have a market of players that love EVE. Keeping that market is more important than appeasing idiots like you.


Is this a joke?
You realise you ACTIVELY REFUSE to adapt, and you demand the game changes every time you hit a barrier. I imagine this latest whining sessions is brought on by your loss of too many bombers. You're undoubtedly running low on your scammed isk and are worried you wont be able to afford to keep in ships.

Very accurate and fact based statement; one can only agree to it!

The games Harry is mentioning are only suited for "a certain kind of players" vaporizing within just a couple of months playing.

I always find it sad that the "change now!" people don't ever take into account that EVE is alive and well BECAUSE of what it is, not in spite of it. They think they are suggesting changes to the game that will make it a better game, what they don't understand is that in reality they are advocating it's destruction.

Games that did what Harry wants EVE to do are dead. EVE is alive. Any rational thinker should come to the conclusion that CCP is doing something right.
