EVE General Discussion

Maybe they are? So what if they are?

Just a tip, perhaps you don't call your post " worries about the skill injectors, and the future of the game" next time. Most people will not read the very long OP, and only read the title before jumping in head first. The 75% of your post are covered by the vague "the future of the game". Most people probably read it as a pure skill injector complain thread, and just answer the last few posts in thr OP. I will see if I find the energy tomorrow to go into some of the other topics you mentioned.

You should have less faith in both at this point.

CCP is either desperate for income, lost vision of what Eve was and succumbed to sheer greed, or ran out of ways to improve the game and decided to milk the game as much as possible before selling it off to another game publisher.

The player base that are in agreement with this are mostly the younger generation (14-24 year olds) who have no patience for char development and just want to pew pew stuff with their pals to show off their so-called in game skills. It's a complete waste of time trying to convince these type of players the flaws of SP trading and will troll you endlessly.

The player base that are against SP trading are mostly long-time Eve players that stuck with Eve for years through thick and thin. They've endured the harsh and gentle evolutionary changes Eve has made throughout the years through adaptation. These adaptations were possible because CCP kept the core essential mechanics of the game intact......until now. Now the loyal traditional Eve players are trying to adjust to the cruelest change ever made to Eve in it's history. Some will leave after finally realizing the game is no longer worth their time and others will stick around stomaching the nauseating effects of SP trading just to be able to continue interacting with their long-time friends they've develop while playing this game for years. But once another game appears that can now complete with this watered down version of Eve where these players can continue their relationships with one another, then they too will leave this game. When this happens then this game populace will be mostly comprised of scrubs and the gung-ho type players. And when these players discover that they're the only ones left playing this game then they'll hop on the next pay2win bandwagon and desert Eve in mass.

So in conclusion, this game no longer have a future so sadly there's no point to this thread, it's already too late. As others have stated "Pandora's Box has been opened" so the only choice you now have is to either to wait until the catastrophic end to happen or save your time and leave now for greener pastures.

You have no idea, how old people are. This is just a BS statement. It also does not correlate with all the other claims in this thread that it is the vets who inject and hence this change does not benifit the newbies. It does also seem unlikely considering the general age distribution of EVEI see no reason where there should not be people agreeing from each age group.

No the people against are people who have misunderstood the importance of SP. The biggest majority seems to be neutral, with a tendency toward "I would probably not have implemented it though."

Nice try. You are pissed about a change you cannot adapt to, and hope to convince others to leave to prove your point. Classy. Why do you not just let the people who can stomach this do it? Deep inside you know most people do not care about the SP changes now that they have seen it will not change EVE that much. How many do you see, who are as upset as you? very few. Most have adapted.

Btw. I do not understand your choice to hang around and spread discontent. I would just have quit, if I had your opinion. This malignancy behind your want to punish EVE, seems very childish and out of proportion tbh. I will never understand this want for revenege over something so minor.

Didn't sound like a rant - sounded well thought out, well expressed and well argued.

I especially agree with the idea that the slow build up of skills and the planning required creates a level of involvement and attachment to a character that can now be bypassed



In fact, I'm just going to quote myself from the skill injector discussion thread.

Well women are known to be emotional by nature so in my case it can't be help. And I'm 29 btw and yes I still act like a kid sometimes when I'm pissed about something.

And you're right, I'll be gone in the next 4 months so I won't know nor care what has happened to this game a year from now.

I don't really play this game anymore and feel cheated because the quality of this game is not what I paid for. Getting a refund is out of the question so i'll rant away until my remaining game time ticks away then I'll vanish from this game for good.

I think you are misreading the situation. Daniela seems to be done with the game for real (I.e the comments about having no fun anymore), and apparently needs to vent before leaving. It is okay to not want to play a certain game anymore. Also voting with your wallet is the only way to send a signal to CCP (be your opinion justified or not). Staying and complaining is not.

I do hope she will move on fast and find something she will enjoy more. Both as anger is not a good state to be in for a long time, and also because the whining is a little one dimensional for my taste.

So where did you get that data from?

Well...if IronBank ever hits the market you could. You could even try making an offer now...provided you had the ISK or possibly some other item he might be willing to exchange the character for.

That was your analysis? Christ.
