What an exciting prospect for a new subscriber! How totally unappealing.

That is exactly what is preventing Eve from growing in subscription numbers.


1) I don't see anything wrong with this option.

2) This is true.

Confirming the only way run EVE is to turn it into a WOW space clone for kids with ADD, because you have to be nice to kids with ADD.

Also confirming that higher subs should always be the overriding priority, original vision and goals are overrated. It is always the wiser choice to sell out and go with the flow.


Idea Any pilot choosing #1 shouldn't log on in the first place. They aren't even playing Eve. They are just poorly paid human bots.

Idea Confirming that Leeroy thinks that providing game mechanics that ensure entrenched, unassailable, empires in Zero makes for good game experience. (Remember, the Goons never beat BOB, as BOB enjoyed the same unassailability and was betrayed from the inside, as were other large established groups.) What's wrong with this model is it is too favorable to metagaming "clubs" who can win through sheer numbers and RMT businesses who, if not curtailed, simply buy their way into the game, excluding gamers that don't fit their "renter" marketing model. If winning the sovereignty war in Zero is merely a question of who brings the largest metagame "club" to the table, then all the mechanics rules in Eve are irrelevent, and there is no point to even playing Eve.

He also regularly gambles in Casinos where all the tables are crooked, the dice loaded, cards marked, and the House Dealers hold all the aces. You see, Leeroy only considers it a "challenge" when it is impossible to win. Maybe the fact that Leeroy Deals for the House explains this?Blink

The difference between you and I , Leeroy, is that I don't think new players come to Eve to work as RMT bots. As for the Goons, we all know they came to disrupt and destroy Eve and they have achieved that quite handily, I'll grant you that.

It really doesn't, but thanks for the advice and opinion.



You should meet other players in game and learn from them and make a corp or join a corp. Just like in real life no one can get anywhere very fare all alone. Take that in mind when your trying to learn something new.

is there any TL;DR version of this?
