After years of dumbing it down can we finally stop calling it exploration and call it by real name which is farming.
Also you are making wormholes too safe

Yes make those poor miners think they are more safe in a Ore Site while i don't have to use probes to scan them down anymore. Muhahahahaha

I do kind of agree though. I think it's cool it shows the anoms but the sigs should not show up on the overlay!!! BAD IDEA CCP!!!

I think the reason they show is because they removed the DSPs as overpowered, but still wanted to keep part of their usability, so they just decided to level the playing field by giving the ability to eveyone.

Except they can collapse all wormholes and not spawn a static one , and they will see new ones via autoscan.

Wait, whats this?

Now your on board scanner can tell you if there are any anomalies to scan down with probes?

Too bad I can't scan, at all, until I get a new computer, because my mac OS is no longer supported (lost the ability to do PI and scan, CCP says too bad)

Preset optimized formations, removal of DSP while adding in similar functionality with no skills required, redone skills that make training easier and less need to specialize, making high end implants almost worthless, removal of T3 from 4/10(not like this matters to me personally).

Also space pinata for profession sites, which isn't really dumbing down, but just plain dumb.

For Wh as I understood i t right:
If an entity chain collapses WH to find a certain system, the system holders would now immediatly know that there is a threat once a new anom pops up on the directional.

and yet none of those things are "dumbing down" exploration, it just makes it less tedious and boring.

there's no relation what so ever between "requiring intelligence" and "boring as ****".

By making it easier to catch someone running a site, wormholes have been made safer.

this thread reminds me of the test forum thread about all the same things with all the same arguments on each side.

these changes were made so that more people will become explorers.
and then suicide gankers in hisec and pirates in low and null will have an easier time finding those explorers and explode them.
There is a carefully thought out plan behind everything.
