It's the bounty system this week? I was so sure that it was the turn of PLEX prices, or was that last week?

If by every week, you mean twice a day every week, then yes.

I didn't ask for anything to be changed. I was just stating an observation.

I see we're playing the "snide observations about subscription numbers" game. Thanks, but not buying it. I've seen far too many suggestions hidden behind "concern" too. It's not a new trick, you're not being original, and no one here is impressed at your doubletalk.

Problem: Indy players get ganked in T3 BC.
Solution: Indy players STOPS manufacturing T3 BC.


Problem - one indy player stops manufacturing T3 BC
Solution 1 - Another indy player goes 'woo i can get more business and make more money' and steps up his production to cover the gap.
Solution 2 - Ganker makes his own industrial alt and builds everything he needs himself

When will the people who keep suggesting this realise that this tactic simply will not work, at best there MIGHT be a slight price increase and at the very worst the ganker goes '**** the market' and builds his equipment himself.


No you see dirty gankers are completely the wrong character class for crafting.

You need to be at least a level 70 AFK Autopiloter to build anything worthwhile in EVE

After further reading of replies in this thread, I've concluded that if Eve ever did cease to exist, there would be players that have no purpose left in their miserable lives...

I'd hit the character limit if I tried to link all the posts you spent crying because your personal niche wasn't being catered to.

Um, no, BZZZZ, wrong.

I understand your main function here is to be a smartass, but perhaps you should at least endeavor to know a little bit about what you are talking about before you spout off.

Its self-evident the ganking community would be thrilled with the status quo.
In other words, a distinct lack of being 'catered to'. Ganking profitability in 2007 was much better than 2008. Ganking profitability in 2008, in turn was superior to 2010, and so on until today.

CCP's 'catering' has always led to more barriers, higher costs, less reward, and more powerful Concord. Even if gankers were inclined to lobby for buffs - it would hardly matter, as attempted 'Buff Ganking' threads are almost always immediately locked up as 'trolling' - or immediately banished to unread portions of the forum.

At some point you have to acknowledge there is a big difference between demanding active CCP intervention, and simply requesting CCP leave you alone.

I know you're deliberately being obtuse, but there is a difference between defending my gameplay style from being under constant attack by the likes of you and yours, and people proclaiming about how only what they want can save EVE from it's thus far theoretical death.

Believe what you want. It's no coincidence that Eve's declining subscription rate coincides exactly with the implementation of it's current bounty system which reinforces this kind of thing.

I agree totally. It is no coincidence, none whatsover.

In fact, it so not coincidental that bounties have no link to subscriptions as they have no effect on gameplay one bit.

Bounties are nothing more than a compliment. Its great when I find my bounty increased.

You never contribute anything to these discussions, but you already know that, don't you.

If you're going to pick fights in the forums, at least try to have well thought out material to do it with. I'm beginning to think your account's been hacked by IZ you're that stupid sometimes.
