After playing Eve for almost seven years, I have come to an ultimate conclusion. I'm the type of person that wants to find my own path, and not follow under anyone else's rules (nullsec blocks). After several attempts to achieve the goal of building an Alliance and claiming sovereignty on its own terms I've realized this is impossible.

Why? Two main reasons.

First, and foremost, Eve is dominated by Nullsec. Their culture, tactics, and influence is impossible to counter or side-step. Anyone who attempts to do so is curb-stomped and eliminated. Either you play by their rules, or you can take your toys and go home --the epitome of playground politics.

Secondly, CCP is in love with nullsec. All the members of the CSM are nullsec clowns bowing to the whims of their maniacal masters. CCP's never-ending love affair with the whole damn thing leads them to screw anyone or anything who has an alternative agenda. They incessantly push everyone towards nullsec, while having no consideration for the individual or for the small corporation or alliance. Either you join a mega-alliance and become cannon-fodder or you really have no viable long-term path in Eve. Nullsec is the end-game of Eve.

So, I ask in earnest CCP, when are you going to make all of Eve nullsec. When is the patch turning Eve into a pvp-arena? Stop dicking around, and do it, or give the rest of us options. Consider the individual, the small corporation, and the small alliance. Not everyone is interested in doing the bidding of a maniacal bloated psychopath and his personality cult.

For me, it really doesn't matter, it's the last straw. Subscription Cancelled.

Cue the, "Can I have your stuff lines". No, you can't have it, f*ck off.


Addition: The original post has 42 likes as of now, it seems I struck a nerve. Thanks for the support, I hope for you the future will change things.

Should you perchance change your mind, please know I would very much appreciate it if you contracted any stuff you will no longer find useful to me.

Are you really sure I can't have your stuff? At least your wallet, you won't need that...

So the only path in EVE is to gain SOV in null? Man, all the people not doing that sure have been playing this sandbox game wrong, thanks for showing us the error of our ways.

For some reason I tend to think that's par for the course.

Which is why EvE really isn't a sandbox game.

Nullsec wouldn't influence a player in a sandbox game. Same with high or low sec.

PvE and PvP wouldn't influence each other, as you're allowed to do your own thing.

EvE is more a deus ex machinia game. Devs dictate content and how it's played. They set up the rules, and tomorrow can wipe the slate clean. They can choose to ignore the game for years. They can choose to influence the game or even certain parties (as history showed they actually did).

That much external control is not a sandbox, it's an illusion of one.

It was called "Release Day." Or something to that effect. Just because "high sec" isn't 0.0, doesn't mean it isn't a "pvp-arena."

Also, clearly my mercenary work in high sec is simply me professing a desire to join a nullsec alliance. My secret fetish for SOV grinding is revealed!

His master will lock him in a corner somewhere for a week, then all will be well.

Now seriously, can I have your stuff? It's not like you'll need it anymore.

Anyone who doesn't give away their stuff is still leaving the door open to coming back. Doesn't show commitment if you ask me.

You mean your master? Cause after all he's the reason you're leaving the game.

You know what would be a fun game mechanic? High-sec wages war on 0.0 with the help of Concord to expand High-Sec space.

If High-Sec is losing , High-Sec space shrinks by 10%, if it's winning it expands by 25%

This would be good, I think we would stand a chance with Concord help and we can add more usable space to the game

This is true, but that lack of commitment is also consistent with his inability to make it in nullsec.

In other words, you suck so bad at this game that your only hope of defeating us is with the help of the most powerful NPC which is designed to be invincible and kill everything within 30 seconds.

But you're not in an alliance...

Also, we're still going to graciously offer to store your stuff in our hangars until you change your mind and re-sub. Nothing you say past "I'm leaving" is going to prevent that.

Do YOU like to undock?
