EVE General Discussion

1. The moon goo changes were not a nerf for null sec per se. The amount of ISK gained by null sec did not change. It was transferred to a different moon goo. Now, the dev's, in order to give their associates in null sec something to do, DID directly attack goons with the distribution, and force them to attack Test for a moon grab. But it turns out the cartels' overall moon goo income was not nerfed at all, even after alchemy.

2. I always laugh at the sense of entitlement so many cartel members have about what they "deserve". And how it is never enough. Sounds like a typical koch brother attitude. Taking more from all other sectors of space is somehow their birthright, no matter how much CCP has already gifted them. What is really funny is how many have joined up long after goons actually did any fighting for territory, and act like they have are some battlescarred vet of years of sov warfare.

3. And cloaking another attack against high sec as some kind of inevitable balance is ridiculous. This nerf to mission runners was not warranted in any sense, given how much has been taken from them already. Oh, and it is going to be really funny for all the causal miners when they see how much more training and implants will be needed to maintain their current income levels. Wrecking the status quo in high sec for the benefit of null sec is NOT some redress against some long term flaw. There was no flaw. Only the null sec propagandists drummed up a campaign suggesting there was a flaw.

And of course, the dev's happily obliged. And yes, their actions prove precisely where their allegiances lie. Actions speak far louder than words, and what they think of high sec and null sec.

dinsdale you realise that when module tiericide comes around mission runners'll be laughing when meta 1-3 stuff suddenly isn't total garbage

More proof that CCP devs only play eve on their 500m SP supertoons and haven't tried starting a new toon from scratch.

I can't even find a reason to move out of Jita tbh.

It's unbelievable the superiority complex some of you have. I've been paying for playing Eve for almost 10 years as a casual carebear through thick and thin. But don't let that stop you from telling me how little "devotion" and "care" I have for this game.

What is the casual carebear doing other than hoovering up resources and ISK other players might use to fund warfare, in a war game. Then doing nothing with it other than show off, fit ludicrous ships, tell everyone how awesome they are or fund their extortion of other players on the market. Fair enough, some want to play a friendly, co-operative game with like minded people. It's lunacy for them to label everyone else as murdering sociopaths simply because they actually want to fire their weapons against non-NPCs. Particularly as it takes a hell of a lot of trust and co-operation to run successful pvp corps in the first place.

Perhaps we should consider farmers as the capitalist pig overlords vs the socialist freedom fighter rebels to get a better idea of why the styles of gameplay are so diametrically opposed. At least the blobbers get SRP, even if that entails being a serf. Farmers are literally leeching ISK from everyone else, and throw a huge tantrum when people point out that they aren't spending it on anything worthwhile anyway.

Auditors, accountants and stock brokers are equally vile. Actually, we all are when we participate in an exploitative loop. Hence Engel's remarks , which you should really start paying attention to when you simultaneously prance about how much money you are making via rl trading vs your 'charitable endeavours'.
"placing yourselves before the world as mighty benefactors of humanity when you give back to the plundered victims the hundredth part of what belongs to them"

Whilst I have one or two reservations about the new system, it has absolutely no impact on highsec mission runners who will continue to ignore every loot drop, as they have since Inferno.

Highsec can suck it. Lowsec is the one who gets hit most by this. Most Lowsec mission runners use Minerals from reprocessing to build ships with BPOs they buy with LP. Now with roughly 30% of that being taken away it amounts only to another blow to living in lowsec.
