Hardcore, "hobby" type players are the core of EVE. The people who drive fights, produce the most in the economy, and so forth.

If you nerf their "end game" toy out of the fight, you need something to replace it.

Perhaps WiS will be the answer, or maybe a new class of T3, but CCP... seriously, you have to think this through.

MMOs live and die based on their end game. There has to be something that n00bs get excited about once the initial novelty wears off after the first few weeks/months.

CCP may have a PhD economist on their staff, but their psychology/marketing people are re-tards. EVERYONE who plays an MMO has some sort of fantasy of power. There has to be an end-game.

Also, my spaceship was really expensive and I am mad, bro.


CLUE FOR THE CLUELESS:

Bigger is not better - it never has been before supers, never should have been, and hopefully never will be again.

There was a time when carriers and dreadnaughts were "the end game", however they were vulnerable if they didn't have support. A solo carrier/dreadnaught could be easily defeated by just a couple talented battleship pilots fit properly for the task. This is the way it should be.

If you want to be able to slaughter hundreds - even thousands of other players just because you have reached "the end game", then WoW is that way ------->

The endgame is having fun.

No concerns about K/D ratios and shrugging at being blobbed.

There is no end game. Only the drive to keep on going. As an industrialist, I have reached the pinnacle of my mining career, but that was never my end game because end games do not exist in Eve. I was there.

Who said end game was super caps?

End game is supposed to hold sov?

what about wh space?

End game is what ever you make it, People say super caps are end game because that is a flying coffin.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

I love threads like this. It lets me get lots of useless memes in one one post. Let's see how many I can get in on this one.

The rage is strong with this one.

Your tears sustain me.

Cry moar.

There is no end-game. Only Eve.

Go back to WoW.

Hmm... yup. That'll do.

Oh, wait. I can haz supers?

Ok, done.

Not CCP's responsibility. CCP's only role as far as "end game" is to muddle the mix every now and then when a large number of players think there is only one "end game." I think they've shown the ability to do that.

The players will determine a new "end game".

The end game in EVE has always been whatever you want it to be. Do you want to fly around all by yourself, shooting NPCs? Then the end game for you might be Level 5 missions, or it might be DED 10/10 complexes, or it might be Guristas Sanctums, or it might be farming COSMOS sites for their drops to put up on overpriced contracts. Do you want to fly in groups, shooting NPCs? The endgame for you might be 10-man Incursions, or it might be DED 10/10 complexes, or it might be Level 5 missions. Do you want to fly in a group of players, shooting other players? Then the end game for you might be a Rifter; or, it might be an Avatar; or, it might be a Hound; or, it might be a Tengu; or, it might be a Hurricane. The unique and endearing thing about EVE is that the game is completely lacking in content that is doled out for you as the correct course; instead, the game is literally whatever you make of it.

If supers are your idea of "endgame" then you really should quit Eve and go play something like WoW. Then you can work to get all your top tier epic gear, and pat yourself on the back telling yourself that you won the game. Eve doesn't have a endgame and even if it did, it wouldn't be based off a certain ship class.

the endgame of EVE is having real power over real people, not "owning" some pixels that will be blown up in the next battle.

There is no end-game and there never was an end-game. Petition Blizzard if you want a linear MMO.
