If the people I enjoy playing games with keep playing this stupid game for another 10 years, then that will do it.

Prestige Mode. After a skill reaches 5 you can prestige it to back to 0 and get a "title" under your name and a unique graphic only similarly prestiged characters can spam in local/fleets. This would add a lot of replayabillity to the skill queue I think.

It is also a legitimate and highly scalable form of content. In fact, it's an industry standard and CCP should adopt it.

They seem to be doing OK at the moment to me - certainly better than 2011. I was lying when I said I'd unsub during Summer of Rage. I'd have stayed and moaned continually.

Obvious stuff for fixes - POS, Indy, Sov, UI, Caps etc all seem to be on the roadmap, and the changes are affecting the wider game. Lowsec, FW and WHs perhaps need adding to the longer plan. Manufacturing blueprints and implants via PI or something would be really interesting, a proper combat/fleet interface would be awesome (esp if you could spread it across multiple screens).

Some new stuff wouldn't go amiss long term, but I'd rather see releases like Apocrypha than WiS. Unless they roll out a separate platform for that like Dust. If it's just standing around in bars we can do that IRL, needs to have some content. That EVA mini game for salvaging looked really interesting. Valkyrie looks nauseating and I'm too tightfisted to pay for a stupid headset, can wait until it's something closer to the google glasses.

They should let us play Dust on PC though, even if it's exclusive on PC to existing Eve account holders. I'll probably only play once anyway, just nosy.

Indeed sir, CCP should be focused on keeping players in the next ten minutes. I'm not so sure that the summer expansion is going to be good for sub count. An expansion that is really just some long needed improvements to industry is not what most people would call exciting.

SC fancreatures should be permabanned as soon as they own up in public

All assets confiscated and given away in CCP 'events'

Gwan, shuffle off, you're barred - and no, you can't come back whining and crying either. Ever heard of Jumpgate Evolution?

These are opinions. Not demands.

More/better PvP Isk making options. I want to get out there and blow up...and not have make eve a part time job.

An actual Bounty hunting system. I don't care what you all say the current method is not good enough. There's a simple solution just have to do some work.

Do something to bring variety to combat. The current Fleet RTS is only fun for FC's.

Fix Dust. I could rant for days about my displeasure with this.

Get a small things team and a Big things team. No need to have "Updates" that only do several little things.

There needs to be Solo PVP content. Socializing is ok but so is Soloing. Almost every 'Big' aspect of Eve is multi player based. Faction Warfare, Sov, Worm holes and Incursions. there's no big content for solo'ers.

I can't believe people make lists like this. It's so random and arbitrary...maybe even whimsical. Yeah. Let's design around whimsy. You don't "play" EvE anyway. You do it. Or...more accurately, it does you. The idea behind EvE is to sail in whatever direction the devs blow. Whimsy.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

OMG , is this what we sound like before getting married and having kids ? lol.

Hint, when you reach my age, married (and in my case remarried) for years with teenaged children (and in my case, grown step children who themselves have children) and well established in a demanding career field, the even odds are you will just LOVE/CRAVE/NEED a distraction like EVE Online, if for nothing else but the maintenance of sanity.


Exactly! I didn't use to say 'bunny' in everything or be mind numbingly silly....but having two daughters did that to me. Now its all bunnies and unicorns and.....ahhhhhh. Thank goodness for games like Eve to escape into, though I am still a bunny knight Roll

A shooter, only for the PS3 that is badly delevoped and not really connected to eve at all.

That would be totally awesome.

So you will stay if EVE gets rid of people who cyber-bully players & transition in to real life threats? How do you plan on staying if they do that?
