EVE General Discussion

Ok grumpypuss
I cant say i miss the good old days cuz i havent played that long. I will probably never have half of what you vets got.
But there seems to be alot of content in this game all the same. Maybe you just have to try something new when things get stale.

Show us 'pups' how to really play EVE, hehe Or maybe we can show you a few new things too.
Just sayin the game is better for it if your still flyin.

I am only really motivated to PVP for SOV reason lately. I think with the coming changes, I shall lose all interest.
The remaining value and motivation will be gone.

Well I started playin Eve 7 yrs ago next month. I had certain things I loved to do and trained my characters many, many months to do these things well. Hell years of training involved in some activities. CCP brilliantly just handed these activities, while eliminating the skill requirements or advantages gained to "new players" on a silver platter. Throwing in idiotic things like loot spew to entertain mindless boobs who don't belong in a game like this in the first place.

Millions of un-reimbursed skill points and Billions of isk and years of research tossed in the crapper in just one of these wonderful noobifications for my main alone. Oh and years or grinding missions to get great standings to put a POS up where I wanted basically laughed at and thrown down the drain also.

At one time I had 10 accounts, still have 3 and don't really know why....just check in and skill basically. Most of my long time in-game friends have left. All my favorite activities have been noobified for the worse and are not profitable or fun or even recognizable anymore.

More bored than bitter....ALOT of really poor decisions by CCP in the last few years. You all can interpret the numbers however you like, I just see an average of around 10K less players online when I log in then I saw a few years ago....and ALOT of those players had multiple paying accounts. I leave it to all the forum experts to figure out how many subs have been lost....

In fact my real feeling is one of sadness. Sad to see a once great game dumbed down and ruined by misguided clowns who really don't play it much, if at all.

as for trying something new....like what??? Attack the Drifters...you know Concord on Steroids armed ships? Sounds like great fun...for a mentally challenged child I guess. I'll just keep skilling an account or two, hoping for a miracle and a HUGE change in CCP's management and direction.

Penalizing your long term customers in a misguided attempt to attract new players is not a growth business plan, it's a recipe to destroy your business.

Many of us have been riding out bad change after bad change for years (since Dominion sov at least) and CCP has recently
taken a further step into the mist by not keeping players updated on what they have planned.
200 pages and no input from devs.

I would welcome anything that will bring positive change and create content, real content that is, not just "biggest fleet wins" content.

I understand what you are saying. Change isn't always good for everyone, sometimes people aren't listening either.

But unless you PvE (not really my thing) then content is created by people. And if you have alot of people, that is logically alot of content.

If I can't find content I help make some. Like I am doing right now, moving some ships that I promised to donate to SuicideGanking4Good to help raise some RL money for the people in Nepal. We get to shoot some of those "mindless boobs" and everyone should feel good that it is helping people who really need it.

I didn't come to your thread to criticize. I came to let you know that there are people who do care, that things do matter. But please help yourself too cuz most people won't do it for you. If you can't change things, you can always change your own perception.

I'd really love to see you expand on that, cause you have to agree, there's probably nobody in EvE that wants to live in Providence more than CVA, but if sov is so "easy to flip" how the hell does that advantage them at all against the 36k members of the CFC... oh sorry Imperium... when they decide to ransack the place for **** and giggles (or most probably because they're bored to death for having 36k blues to begin with...)

As a returning player I find it very, very annoying to wait these skills to train. The whole skill system should go away. it's useless.

Skills are just timers that let us do stuff. Useless timers, that prevent great stuff from happening.

For example, I could be buying plexes and fitting nice navy drakes and blow them up in Amamamamamake, but no. I have to buy crappy T1 frigs wich deal whole 30 dps with my crappy skills.

Note to CCP, by removing useless skills, you make more cash. That's $$$$$$$.

It is not the same when you buy a character, since you can't buy their skills, you buy the indentity and crappy name. You can't rename your purchased character.

You have removed learning skills, wich is great. Now, remove the rest of the useless skill system.

To everyone who winds up quitting over changes, can i have your stuff?

As returning player, I find it very, very annoying to listen to you whine that you can't do A, B or C because you don't have the Skill Points. You should go away. If you can't play just because you can't fly a Navy Drake properly, its not the skills that are useless.

Sgt Ocker, i'm not talking about isk making it's not my idea to call this guide like that, i'm more about your profession in Eve.
If you feel yourself more than confident in almost everything with Eve go try something different.
send your app to ISD service, make a plan to became a CSM, kind of new level.

Just think of it from different angle.
