Assuming the goals were based on averages, we can conclude that:
1) This past week, players have been more involved in passive activities than in active ones.
2) ...
3) Therefore, EVE is dying.

Didn't want those Geckos anyway, as they're being nerfed soon. Yes, nerfed.

I need a break from GD.

people assuming the goals set were calculated as to make them easy to achieve without some large scale player coordination and collective effort are mistaking EVE for wow.

Are sleeper blue loot sales to NPC buys counting towards the bounty total?

No change is happening to the Gecko's.

The skills that affect drone damage are changing.

Logic is hard though, So I understand why you missed that.

Don't worry sir, no extra taxes here. A few fees, surcharges, tariffs maybe but who said anything about those?

DPS is decreasing by 25% for Geckos. Only for Geckos.

Regardless of if you want to call it an officially super official nerf... They are about to become much less compelling.

Bots and trained monkeys mashed keys while the rest of eve refused to give CCP another BR battle for the sake of free drones.



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

CCP was mistaken in assuming PVPers give enough of a **** to do large scale coordination and collective effort just for some gimmick drone that'll be losing a quarter of its maximum damage soon.

You can't just force large scale PVP to happen, all of the pieces have to be in the right place.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Considering how close it is without either of those it's probably fair to say another major event wasn't needed. Those were amazing highlights, but stuff blows up constantly, and as the progress on this contest proves being that we lack that epic battle, it does so at a pretty good rate.

4 free Geckos... I'm not complaining.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

We tried. Too many risk-averse people who don't fly expensive ships and run away as soon as a stranger enters local.
Calamitous Intent fought the hell out of us, though... always a good day when SMERG and 7-2 pile into the same system, together.... sadly, it wasn't enough :(

You could also say that CCP set the bar too high for bounties and ISK destroyed..... I'm going to go with that one...

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

I talked to a female too.
She told me how I'm her favorite son.

You did notice that the bounty goals and ISK destroyed goals were set in trillions while the other two were billions I assume ?
