Simple really:

Premise 1: The best way to increase CCP cash flow comes from noobs as vets tend to use ISK to PLEX or already have long term subs.
Premise 2: Noobs do not like challenges and want everything handed to them on a platter.
Premise 3: Dumbing down exploration will not adversely effect the rest of EVE the way dumbing down missions or mining would.

Conclusion: Dumbing down exploration should = more CASH


Clearly not a valid argument but it seems to have been the logic used.


You might be right but have they consider that it gets boring quickly if the space exploration in a space game has nothing to do with actually exploring things hidden in space? So even noobs will pay for 1 month rather than staying longer and paying much more. There are many sci fi junkies out there and the idea of exploration in eve so advertised on their websites is what actually brings them in to the game.

Dear CCP Seagull:

Your Discovery Scanner is terrible. What was advertised as a way of adding a sense of mystery and the unknown to New Eden has done only the exact opposite. While there were several useful improvements made to the actual process of scanning, the changes overall did nothing except turn the mysterious into the mundane, the rewarding into the routine and the unknown into the uninteresting. Instead of lighting a glimmer in the darkness for the explorers of New Eden to chase, you have turned array after array of 1000-watt stadium lights on every dark corner, crack and crevice, leaving no mystery unrevealed.
