EVE General Discussion

Because there is clearly at least one very high profile dev who wants to control the narrative of the game and he doesn't like gankers. In addition he continually lies to the community and makes up BS stories to feed people, but they are just never consistent.

Note that the ability to bump hasn't been removed, simply there is a 3 minute timer for it.

I am guessing you are talking about the bumping changes, but again that can be avoided by checking your route on a map. If anything for that change it should be some kind of warp module that can placed on a ship or just take the whole aligning and getting up to speed a way instead of having some kind of loophole in the game mechanics.


I it seems you are confused, WOW is a ultra safe game compared to Eve. another reason why i am here instead of there.

Am I the only one who cringed every time I hear the phrase "Content Creators"? It sounds so cheesy, horrible, and as if people are desperate to give some lofty name to simply playing the game. Worst part is, it seems to be limited to only a few groups who can claim credit for creating content despite so many others who create their own content. That guy who's trying to figure out max speed per ship type and opening it to the masses, he's a content creator because he is creating content, and I don't think CCP is nerfing his effort.

RvB is creating content and last I checked, CCP did not nerf our ability to make content.

Groups like Marmite and Break a Wish create content, haven't heard cries of CCP nerfing them (well, the watch list change, but nothing of late).

All the not purple shoot it groups that gather people in hi sec and take them out fighting is content creation. No nerf there.

The people trying to make new citadel trade hubs are creating content. CCP just gave them a job.

But nope, change the bumping mechanic (which I think we could safely assume is the OP's gripe) and CCP is all for nerfing content creators.

Sorry, changing one mechanic isn't nerfing the content creators. At best it is changing one dynamic. Plus, we don't even know the change m it could be that any point resets the counter. Guess what that means a new player can now help contribute to ganking by training warp disrupt to level 1 and acting as a suicide point. New content for new players will be created! They may not fly a catalyst or nado, but they can help in the gank with this change.

So really how is this nerfing content creation when there is so much more content to create throughout New Eden?

I love this pompous self-labeling as 'content creators', like you have this special status if it weren't for the miners and freighters you'd have no content, at least not the easy kind you're after. You wouldn't have any ships either

I am a miner, you can find me in Gamis whenever the ice belt is up.

You are absolutely correct putting a 3 minute time on warps is a loophole. It should be a warp fail safe module or the aligning and hitting warp speed should be done away with if they want to stop bumping.

I wasn't just talking about the bumping changes but all the changes i have seen since November that hurt mercs, griefers & gankers. You can't have good without bad.

I can't say content anymore without saying it like content



Bottom line is PvP or PvE, you are both getting away with the 'identity crisis' that is highsec. You both do what you do without any consequence, well except for the lame wardec mechanic and bumping/ganking.

I think it is you that is confused, but that is situation normal.

Beginning from Retribution (Dec 2012) when destroyers were rebalanced, if you go through each change made to the game that either benefits ganking (assigning +1 for easier ganking) or makes it harder (assigning -1 for more difficult), then you can actually see the evidence yourself objectively whether things have been balanced or not,

So starting with a +1 for the destroyer rebalance in Retribution and coming to the latest change, even allowing for some differences in opinion, over the last 3 1/2 years, the balance is around the -4 to -8 mark.

That's not balance. That's nerf.
