CCP Fozzie could do an amazing blog with all the WH data they have i am sure, but why would he want to with the level of hate that has been on these forums lately.
Because if CCP had numbers that refuted the naysayers they'd release them in a heartbeat ... and the protests would come to an end (other than Dinsdale types of course) because the vast majority of players want Eve and CCP to succeed.

If numbers are truly down then hopefully CCP will change course, or be right in their belief that the short term pain will be worth it in the long run.




Actually not the case at all, we have been whining for a long time that nobody mines in WH space in the numbers they used to and they could have refuted us at any point on that and CCP Fozzie only used it as a reference point in the WH Townhall.

I think they are quite happy ignoring idiots.


This can also be an issue when data is insufficiently granular.
There has not , according to Fozzies announcement, been a drop in the minerals mined in wormholes since odyssey.
In spite of ore sites having been made an anomaly, and simply warped to, without scanning.

Now this could either be that players have ignored the increased risk of a gank, and have blindly continued mining away, or that it has become localised and out of hunters eyes.

It is pretty widely accepted, from player experience, both miners and hunters, that usually miners are now bait, or daytrippers, with much less happening, unless the system is buttoned up tight.

So if this is true, then there are systems where mass mining occurs to balance out the numbers.

If so Hyperion will certainly have increased the level of risk for those. And we should see a mass drop in minerals mined. But who will be able to tell as the changes have affected all areas severely.

It certainly does not mean that players who have reported their experiences as being stupid, or idiots.

If one changes things, one usually changes one variable at a time, otherwise one will find it difficult or impossible to ascertain what the data is actually saying.

Hyperion has changed so much at once, it will be impossible to ever know, until one sees data that shows the patient is in critical condition, and may not recover.

Hopefully Fozzie and his team will be more proactive, and not dismiss the patient as a hypochondriac, someone who is in charge of others health USUALLY does not dismiss those in his care as Idiots, and waiting until their heart stops before deciding to treat them.

There is one EvE. Many people. Many lifestyles. WE are EvE

Best activity intel site i know was http://www.eve-census.com/ but it's down since april this year.

If someone knows a familiar site we can get the needed data of the current activiy level in wormeholest very quickly.

Oh please please please..let me work for CCP. I'll pack my Baseball Bat of Justiceā„¢ and sort things out for Eve while single-handedly doubling their population there in Iceland. It needs more tax revenue doesn't it?

CCP ignore me please, I make too much sense.
