I should add furthermore that this is not just a nerf to hyperdunking, boarding in space is used for podding logged off characters and pulling individual CONCORD squads in systems which previously had many squads spawned.

I don't think you guys realize CCP isn't afraid of losing subscribers because they make changes to the game. You can be sure for every person who rage quits over a change a player who previously rage quit will resub. It's been that way forever. So you can unsub if you want I'm guessing for every 1 of you that unsub CCP gets 2 resubs back over this change.

Gotta protect those who won't make any effort to protect themselves, that's the eve philosophy right?

It's a tactic that anyone is free to employ... except for gankers. It's also a sudden reversal of their official opinion from January.

I find it funny that people, CFC and CODE in particular, complain about the removal of hyperdunking, while insisting on and proclaiming that people should socialize and play together to achieve things -- things that hyperdunking, which can be done by 1 player (with several characters) alone. The hypocrisy is strong in CFCODE.

The subscription argument is particularly hilarious in this regard as no hyperdunking means necessity for more characters to get a proper gank fleet going, which necessitates more subs. Gankers never fail to amaze me.


Arguably, Null sec is more boring than High sec. Currently, High sec is a lot more interesting in terms of action than Null sec (even where I live, imagine the north). If this change made more people go at least to low sec to find some action they cannot any more in High sec, the game at large is helped a lot. Or if those people not being able to gank alone anymore to go back to Null sec and populate Null sec again, the game is also helped. If this contributes to bring back more chaos character by character to Null sec instead of having the chaos focused on High sec, the game at large is helped a lot.

Again, CCP stated that it was a loophole in the rules and mechanics that they did not anticipate.

Ah finally, how bliss, they finally did it. Been hating on your work for a bit CCP but this is long overdue, GG. Don't forget to get the tear jar ready, you could make a fortune.

There's still high sec can flipping, ninja salvaging... you know.
CODE could become the successors of Rooks&Kings - i can certainly imagine them being highly successful.

You actually got something going there buddy.
How about I raise your bet? Instead of depriving players of ingenious ways to have fun in high-sec, so they're forced to live in 0.0, why not put some f*ckin effort into making 0.0 an interesting place.

For some people, hyperdunking is just a way of showing useless carebears and moonminers stuck in 0.0 that even though they have 10,000 guys guarding them while they run anomalies with their supercarriers or mine their 100 R64 moons, they can still lose and get hurt.

All this crying about hyperdunking hurting the little guy, the poor and defenseless freighter pilot just trying to make a living is BS. They wanna feel safe while carrying 10b of moongoo or the modules for their Officer-fitted Golem, they should ask one of their corp or ally mates to come along. Or just use an alt, not like they can't afford it. As already stated, there are 10 different way sto counter hyperdunking.

By that reasoning we should expect CCP to remove all anchored POSes from moons in wormhole space to restore it to a day trip environment.

Use of loopholes in EVE certainly makes EVE more interesting and diverse... but just because it can be used and provides entertainment, does not mean that we should expect it to remain there. On the flip side, CCP allowing loopholes to remain in game is also a good thing.

It was not breaking a mechanic in the game to anchor a POS in wormhole space for the purpose of living there - just unexpected. It was not breaking a mechanic in the game to use skynet or garage door cynos - it was just unexpected as well. Hyperdunking was not a game breaking mechanic - just unexpected.

Some things remained in game. Others did not. I was disappointed that garage door cynos were nuked. But I enjoy this game for other reasons. Hyperdunking is simply solo ganking as an extreme sport. Ganking is still ok in EVE and if you like it, keep doing it. You just can't hyperdunk anymore.

Is it something to quit EVE over? Well, if Hyperdunking was your raison d'être then yes, you should leave EVE. Otherwise know that Hyperdunking is pretty new and short lived compared to other loopholes that survived in game for years before being removed.
