EVE General Discussion

Updated the Opening Post.:

The event is 7 days long. As of the upcoming downtime, 5 of those days will have passed.

The Math: 100 (Percent) / 7 (days) = 14.29 (percent per day) 14.29 * 5 = 71.45% is needed after 5 days to be "on track" (Not taking increased weekend activity into account)

According to the event page:

1. Ore: shouldn't have any problem of reaching the second goal.


2. Science and Industry: Should make it, they're about square on target.


3. NPC Bounties: Both Bounties and ISK Destoryed need some serious help :(
4. ISK Destroyed: Both Bounties and ISK Destoryed need some serious help :(

Mining, lots of miners mining.

Science and industry is understandable, most tasks are planned well in advance, and not likely to change unless at the most insignificant level.

Npc bounties? Lots of wardecs this week. Besides, High sec bounties are trivial compared to Null.

Isk destroyed? Could it possibly be that PvP is Not The primary activity in the game?
Who would have thunk it!

Looks like nullsec will need to get working, biggest destruction possibilities, and best bounty rats. If they do not, then after the new player presentation where they stated that they are only a percentage of less than 10% of players, then the propaganda that they are "real EvE and the most important group in effect as well as quantity" , will be somewhat difficult to sustain.

You do realise this is a test don't you? This may well define your future!
The free geckos are merely bait.

no, everything must be equal and it's clear that the pvpers are letting the side down.

Asking your mom to do your washing does not count

Dear Kaarous if you suspect folk are botting, CCP will be glad to hear the details.

But of course, you know and I know that your post is just your usual substandard trolling.

Well, as the majority of players are in hi-sec, it is not surprising that the majority of botters may also be there.

You will never be as witty or a good a troll as Ladie Harlot, but at least you do try

would be interesting to hear some reasons for CCP to do it to their 'pure pvp-oriented' game

and nope, trolling of their players doesn't look very good in this case

you say it like picking random numbers out of a hat isn't a valid way of selecting arbitrary targets.

to see all the tinfoil on the forums.

in a game built on conflict do you really think ccp aren't going to intentionally do something to make people have a hilarious and absurd discussion about it?

I agree, if my post sounded like a Null attack, that was not the intention, a little bit of humour sure., but not meant as a dig.

The point is this is a perfect measure of real activity, regarding alts on an account, only one can be on at a time, so the argument that all hiseccers are alts, cannot work while players are on in Null with the same account. More than one account they get paid one way or another so that is fine.
The metrics provided by this "free" giveaway, are the pure, unvarnished, facts. Free of opinion and the metagame.
Nulll , and it is null, as that is where the greatest destruction occurs or is believed to occur, and the best bounties, Will clearly show the real impact of Null on the in game Wider economy and clearly show here. coming to Jita for example for mass destruction, will only confirm Hisecs importance.

i believe that CCP are looking Very Very closely at the results of this, and this will effect Nulls future forever.

Whether the targets are met or not, are fair or not, or one gets free drones or not has no relevance, only the raw data matters.

If the numbers are low then that will confirm the rising suspicion that it is Hisec that matters and gets the resources, as they are discovering that most players who join because of the big fights, do not stay subscribers and most that do stay in Hisec. Because they WANT to.

So to keep null alive and Vibrant, there are two days left. And the clock is ticking.
