EVE General Discussion

In before Fraxi

Are you really Glen Beck in disguise?

All your posts have this rumor-mongering fear-laced taint to them, but have just enough of a shred of truth somewhere at the root that you seem to pass the ISD rumor filter.

I wish more devs would declare their hatred for high-sec ... and then do something to confirm that hatred.

1. Glenn Beck is some kind of clown who was so far off base that even fox dumped him.
2. If it is rumour-mongering, the ISD will indeed step in. Of course, if there is a shred of truth, then it is not rumour-mongering, and implementing multiple sliders catering to the null sec crowd is fairly easy to do, as the mechanics for a slider is the crux of this new AI.
3. Fox Four made her/his hatred of high sec well-known when he/she posted that image in the dev blog gloating about this will murder drone boat operators, and how "everyone" wants more PvP in high sec.

You just have to get better at not losing ships.

If this is hatred, I'd hate to see love for highsec.

You know what chum?

This is my last active account, and if I quit, who really cares about one more account. (I let
What I do care about is how much time I have invested in this game, and how I see it is an utter waste now.

What I do care about is how much this will affect legions of players who NEED high sec missions to keep playing the game, and how many of them use drones. I have enough liquid ISK to buy 3 years of plexes, and if I liquidate my BPO's, enough to pay for plexes for a long, long time. But for the newer players, this is a huge, huge hit.

The null sec zealots believe that the whole game should go null, and Eve would do just fine without the majority of Eve players, and anything done to attack that large player base is an excellent move.

But that is not my style of play, nor is it for the majority of the eve customer base.
And you also know what? Most players don't read about these changes in the dev blogs until it is too late, or not at all.

The only way to build up any resistance against the idiotic, high sec breaking change, is to scream long and loud, wherever possible. That works in modern politics, and frankly, that is what this ongoing war between the high sec players and the smaller, but far more committed group that hates high sec.

Oh, and one last thing. I am running right now, for the first time, Gallente epic arcs.
I am in my Ishtar.
Know how much chance this Ishtar has in many of these missions if AI starts targeting drones, even on a small scale? Zero, nada, zip. The Ishtar, and all drone boats, will be completely useless in many epic arc missions.

"if I cant AFK l4s they might as well not exist

why yes i have billions in liquid isk and BPOs from grinding L4s that i just sit on

don't listen to the nullsec zealots about l4s needing adjustments though"

Here's a thought: other people play the game differently then you, and their playstyles are hurt by a constant and massive influx of liquid isk into the market, thus depreciating the value of every other activity in the game. Explore? Highsec lvl 4s have better isk with lower risk. Wormholes? Highsec lvl 4s have equal isk with lower risk. Nullsec sanctums? They're about on par with lvl 4s and you need a bunch of ships and nullsec space to run them. The game is skewed by highsec missions. Why would anyone do anything else? Its safe, its easy, its assured. Will eve die because of that? No, but it will be less fun, and honestly, there would probably be more player retention if 80% of new players didn't get sucked into the mission running for isk crowd right off the bat.

If this is about moving people to null, I'm again astounded that with all CCP's creative talent they can't come up with a way to actually make null more interesting and are still mired in the "make the alternative suck more" paradigm.
