What is the goal of nerfing? and why should a new player get excited about this game?

How are your examples related to the last couple of years?

Look at the recent, conservative balancing objectively and you'll realize that CCP has learned from their past mistakes.

CCP has to balance everything to ensure fairness. Often when something is changed, they have to wait a while and assess the effect this has on the game. Often this leads to nerfing, as the means to ensure fairness and balance again. Of course, people are going to complain about that, especcially the ones it directly effects. But, to be perfectly honest, EvE players complain about EVERYTHING anyway. Pretty much any change is resisted and complained about to a degree, some more than most.

I've always thought it was due to the higher average age of EvE players. You can't teach a old dog new tricks, and all that. Cool

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

nerfing happens in all industries, i mean if there are'nt changes to the game on a regular basis, good chance there would be layoffs at CCP seen it happen in dozens of industries . food industry is a great example . how often does the packaging change, lots where i live , just marketing guys worried about losing there jobs convince ceo time for a change 12 months more work for them. just one big cycle and we the consumer simply have to put up with it
