EVE General Discussion

I actually took the time to read all that, because for once I totally sypathise with a complain.

The meta of general discussion reputation

Dear op,
You know with a pos tower you still have a huge advantage over npc stations right? If you havent figured out how to use them right, then maybe you shouldnt be using them. No I won't give you a hint but if you do it right, you will have a huge advantage over everyone using npc stations.

The mad is strong here.

so, either you really didn't get what he meant or you just jumped on the opportunity to tell somebody that he's whining & entitled.

this made me die a little inside with laughter.
I tell you what, I will give you 6 million per month. There, now your office is free.

Honestly, it's not like you naysayers are making out. Its easily possible to make more isk now, and while a POS is arguably less useful with the loss of the remote research ability, remember that a 25% time saving is also a 25% fee saving, and when the actual POS rebalance comes, there will be even more reasons to use it.

As for your refining, the POS refines at about the same level that you used to get for your ore, so you've lost nowt there. As for selling to "null cartels", why not? Have you seen the price of compressed ore? You get more than you would ever have got for your ore just by compressing it and shipping it to Jita, because null groups have no alternative. They can't just mass buy minerals and make a bunch of modules with a single alt like they used to, they either have to mine in highsec, or painstaking buy regular ore (which will be on the market less now compressed ore prices are up) then compress it themselves.

Kinda, sorta, maybe but much like Jita, you only need to block 20 people to turn it in to a dead zone.

In truth there are plenty of logistical benefits to running a POS. Mostly related to time factor. If you look through the manufacturing arrays they all carry anywhere from 25% to 50% bonus to job time. Those really don't benefit a small manufacturing corp though. One that isn't building from huge corp tax or moon goo empire funds. Smaller corps actually go out and gather their own minerals when the option is available and it's time consuming enough that 4 hours or 8 hours for a copy isn't a factor in production. Markets in EVE also tend to work in 4 to 6 month cycles so there is no rush to get stuff to market. In practice if you are doing anything in EVE with a sense of urgency you messed up.

I don't know if this is ground work for something better but in current EVE the system is useless because the benefits are all geared toward a game that isn't in play.

Obvious is obvious. Don't need anybody to point it out.

Well, most of your fellow forum posting customer peers think you are full of it. In a perfect world CCP would let us file support tickets under the topic "this guy is butt hurt, CCP please screw him some more".

No one would care even if you got 'nerfed', the fact that you have actually received a BUFF (that is "would have received a buff", if you were the kind of person to reject actually putting in some effort) is what makes your entire topic silly and dumb. What worse is that you seem proud of being lazy and reactionary.

Oh well, as we like to say where I'm from, it's your funeral. Your choices here are 'adapt to the new stuff and profit', 'don't adapt and suffer the consequences' or 'leave'. Of course, in fine impotent whiner fashion you chose D - 'whine about it on the forums like that will do any good'.

I keep climbing and falling! Your wall of text was way too high.

I think what was done was the right thing to do.
