Less timesinks, more gameplay

Why aren't CCP instead of making all these useless tweaks to ships actually focusing on giving us content? I like the additions to the UI at least but why aren't we getting actual content? I remember subbing to this game after Pre-Cu SWG died and I can tell you I remember seeing the same bloody missions now that I did back then.

What we need is real content, not of this timesink b.s. I don't want to spend 20 days training up for a new ship, I don't want to spend hours going through stupid acceleration gates and I certainly don't want to be forced to grind anymore:

. Add more varied missions with nice storylines, you could even make it really awesome by having cinematic endings to them if you're willing to put in the effort

. Give us a lot more exploration content as this is the most interesting part of the game in my opinion and makes EVE more of a sandbox, you've got all that space, so use it

. Stop the useless tweaking until you figure out a real way to fix the balance problems in EVE rather than just band-aid or PR measures, it saves everyone getting pissy with you

. Consider adding some more ore types maybe to give a bit of variety to what you can get minerals from

. Make the world of EVE more interesting and less bland, we have only a few types of space station, stargates or ship designs being copied thousands of times over across systems, I'm talking cosmetics here, you should make ships get to have lights and stuff on them in different places like navy ships or have the lights different colours

. Enough with the stupid timesinks, they don't work, all they do is **** people off because they have to keep waiting before they can get to the actual game content, the only time this can be remotely justifiable is if it's free, but even then, you're trying to sell people a product, either give them it instantly when they pay you or not at all, it's outrageous making people pay a subscription fee and making them wait days before they can do anything in the game

So you want cinematic cut sequences, instant level 80 and space ships with bright flashy lights?

I think you may be playing the wrong game.

Yet another rage post from a newbie wanting free SP, aren't you the guy that made that one of the hundreds of "let us buy SP" threads a while back?

It sounds like you don't really like this game.

Why don't you leave?

Have you tried 0.0? Lowsec? Wormholes? FW? Your post makes it look like you've only played missions in empire.

We have plenty of content, just go look for it. I've been playing for a long time and I haven't seen everything yet, not by a long shot.

Ther ship tweaks are FAR from useless btw, and as for the skills, well, the other posters in here have that covered. No grinding for SP plzthx.

Balance has to start somewhere, I'd much rather have tweaks throughout the year than a couple of features shoved in at the end of a patch like we used to get.

We have sixteen different ores, each with three different subtypes, and another what, eight different types of ice? Why would we need more than that?


You really should judt give me your stuff and go back to hello kitty online Smile

Players make the majority of content, not CCP.

The irony of this post felt like a massive slap to the face.

Obvious troll is obvious.
