A blog... yeah so?
EVE is Dying™?

Not really, only for the few that bothered with a blog. I'm not a very hiveminded person, and wouldn't attempt to speak for the whole of the EVE community as maybe you would. But personally it doesn't effect me one bit, and probably not many others either.
Yes, call me a troll, as is the case with any that speak truth often endure.

I'm in it for the money

This is unfair. Tipper Gore is no way, shape, or form, smart enough to play Eve. To compare anyone in this game to that bimbo is an insult against all of us. Take it back!

May I have your stuff?

From Wikipedia

She attended St. Agnes (now St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School), a private Episcopal school in Alexandria, Virginia, where she excelled in athletics and played the drums for an all-girl band, The Wildcats.[2]

She played sports and beat on things. Here in 'merica, that's a celebrity.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...  Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like  tears... in... rain. Time... to die...

It was a double post #CCP

I expunged minimum effort to amend other than to express honest opinion

Eve has been decaying for a while, most notably in null. If Seagull caves to the highsec carping brigade there won't be anyone left heavily invested. This is the point critics keep missing. Nullsec has been dying a slow death for years.


You have this game. 20% of your players get it right, stay for 4 years, then leave. 80% of your players never get it right, stay for 2 years, and leave.

Some claim that the way to improve the game is to make the 20% stay for 6 years rather than 4 (more better PvP)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to get rid of the 80% altogether (but CCP may disagree to downsize)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to lure the 80% into becoming part of the 20% so the split is like 70-30 or 60-40 (that's what CCP is attempting)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to provide the 80% with all they want and screw the 20% (but I never found anyone seriously claiming that)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to lure a new demographic who would rather walk an avatar than fly a spaceship so the game becomes 80+20+40 (but those are mostly dead)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to make the 80% stay for 4 years rather than 2 (more better PvE)

EVE is complex and there is no simple solution, and what all the above have in common is that they will rather kill EVE and sabotage each other than let anyone else save the game...

Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

I think the EVE Community is having a much needed discussion about what kind of people we want in our game.

I didn't mind Ripard so much when he merely kept it to whining about goons and gankers.
But after what he did to Erotica 1, seriously - F that guy.

Hope he never returns and good riddance.

I don't even want his stuff.

Phoooaaw,

Look at all these big scary anonymous internet tough guys.

Protect me from knowing what I don't need to know. Protect me from even knowing that there are things to know that I don't know. Protect me from knowing that I decided not to know about the things that I decided not to know about. Amen.
