Also, on a sidenote, I first read the topic's name as CCP Wish... (late here)

I wondered where he'd work, marketing? Turns out it was more interesting... Lol

I really don't see a need for you to become a leader. There are other things that corporations can do aside from pew-pew.
Strike a deal with another corp, even a C1 wormhole has a lot to offer. And someone running one alone will be very welcome by some of the newer mining corps, e.g..

Make sure you screen for potential partners carefully. The market is the market. It will always change and sometimes what was profitable yesterday, ain't anymore the next month. There can be many reasons for it. Expansions being just one of them.



i dont live in it totaly alone just my corp is a one man corp and the other people that was liveing there was a mineing corp but they disapered im guessing bot ban but no way to know and there is a old school vet droped a pos so he could do pi to plex his acounts but it is just me to fend for my self and my corp he only plays long enouf to do some pi

I think the key is that everything gets easier if you do not solo.
I have several accounts, like most, but just because I enjoy several playstyles in game.

I find the notion to run four accounts for one purpose quite - stressy - but that is only my opinion.

I don't think CCP should "target" lone wolves. But if you see that a given goal or operation can - temporarily or permanently - not be handled by just 1 person with 4 alts, then you need reliable partners or you need to give up your operation and find another venture.

That said: I personally think the Ice prices will go way way down again soon. It is much easier still to mine than expected.
Give it some time...

one acount is scanner with some other combat skill for need one is indie with combat for need one is more or less cov ops with combat as needed and one is just for killing with he is the one i line the most buhaha

edited to add
depending how you define easer i agree it would be a lot easer to make large amounts of isk with a big corp in a c5

but i find for me personly i learned eve lot easer and faster liveing alone in this c1

just all in how you look at it i guess

i also just want to put it on paper for the record
1.i like most of the changes
2.im not saying change ice back or even the spawn amount
3.im not even crying about the gaves alltho i think the risk verser reward is one sided to risk now


all i am saying is that a change that digs this deep into the economy of eve should have been discused with the players

only thing i would change is the 4 houre respawn time so the price of ice can stable if you want to make it deplet thats fine make it respwan and have to be scaned down or something

edited to add i am mostly happy with the changes the new fire sound is a anoing tho lol



I'm quite surprised CCP didn't thought about making a bit of ice spawn in WH sites, not enough to cover a POS fuel but at least a bit, this wouldn't change much or nothing to bigger corps, but would certainly help a bit for small corps and solo guys that are being totally removed from the gaming equation if prerequisite no met: no rl life eve is a 24h job or a Golden Mastercard.

The main factor CCP didn't accounted at any moment in this change is the solo player, have done it neither for any other change and this is not a good move from their part leading to a -1 on the excellence route, solo players with not huge amounts of hours a day or week to play should have tools available to explore all areas of the game and play everywhere in new eden without being a special ******.

Your arrogance is ******* astounding. YOUR opinion is the one that is wrong here. It was YOUR fault you can't adapt to change. YOUR fault you didnt inform yourself and prepare for the change. YOUR choice to run a POS. Nobody forced you to build a POS and nobody is forcing you to take it down.

Do you also complain to the government about petrol prices when they have no control over those? Because that's the exact same ******* situation here

For the love of god someone lock this thread.

Ok so I read a few posts until I understood what the OP is complaining about.

And it makes no sense.
Its NOT CCPs fault that people stockpiled and bought all of the ice, hell, the ice price started to rise at the damn presentation at fanfest, litterally half an hour later the price had gone up noticeably. And its STILL NOT CCPS FAULT, its entirely because of people trying to earn more ISK, market speculation.

Competitive comes ahead of sandbox.

If it was a true sandbox then literally anything would be possible and you could, as a soloist without any friends and without competing with anyone, own the entirety of nullsec.

So exactly what kind of play is being forced onto you? What is it you dont want to do, that you are being made to do, apparently by GMs?

*rant snipped*


So you open with blaming CCP for you not being able to support a WH POS due to ice prices skyrocketing, then you say 'I'm not blaming anyone for this'. Let's build on that, because right now, you sound exactly like anyone who's pitched at fit over getting ganked while mining.

Yes, CCP created a sandbox game. Yes, the definition of a 'sandbox game' is a game where a player has total freedom to do what he wants. However, you're complaining because other players in this same sandbox are playing how they want to, which is preparing for a massive price hike by stockpiling ice like they just saw Wormwood falling from the sky. Guess what: they're playing the game the way they want to, just like I play the game like I want to and the guy who's gonna quote and snark on this post plays the way he or she wants to. Your rant is akin to 'CCP changed the game and now I can't make enough ISK anymore, so I'm quitting the game'.

Really?! Your reaction to this massive change is 'MY toy!' and pitching a fit? Don't take this the wrong way, but your emotional investment in the game is extremely dangerous. I'm not suggesting quitting, but taking a few steps back and looking this entire thread over.

Sure, there's points where I see a change and go 'oh, really, guys?', but turn around and adapt to it. There's points where I log in because I feel like mining for a bit so I'm that much closer to my materials needs, and every belt in my system is empty because mining ops have just blown through. I don't even get mad at suicide gankers that find and pop me, because even though these would always be hisec ganks, they were quick enough hits that they get the pod before the ship's explosion fades out completely and that's worth a 'gf' in and of itself.

If a change this drastic affects you this much, time to backpedal just a little and think about the situation more thoroughly.

in the end when the dust clears i will probably liquidate my assets consolidate my accounts sell of the spares and join a wh corp
but that in its self is my main problem i dont play well with others i like being independent and by me doing so ccp's income is reduced by 480 us dollors a year
not a lot i know but in contrast when you add up the others that number will grow some what
i have no idea how many solo playes will feel the same as me and close some acounts but just say if there was a 1000 that close just one acount they was plexing that would 20000 a year in income loss i figure its much more but i cant prove that
