Some people say the last few expansions were not good. Some say they were garbage, but there is hope!
The winter expansion will be here before you know it and that my friends; will be your diamond in the rough. There are many exciting changes coming our way like the logistics buff that was talked about and the frigate re-balance. Super capitals will be reworked to provide vast engaging fleets and dare I say EPIC good times ahead. That is just the tip of the iceberg in content and such things. Even our Captains Quarters will see itself quadruple in size with the other races. I'm talking BIG!
So don't QQ and unsub only to find yourself having to resub with regrets of lost skill training time. Stick around and tough it out friends, salvation is on the horizon and it will indeed be glorious!

I'm excited as hell about rebalancing. We're talking dozens of updates on the database here, something not to be taken lightly. As balancing is done only once every 18 months they gotta make sure it's done right, not at all like those scrubs in other games who rebalance constantly. |

Never believe what CCP says. Wait until it is actually released before you actually start praising it. |

Sad but true. Malcanis' Law: Any proposal justified on the basis that "it will benefit new players" is invariably to the greater advantage of older, richer players.

You realise that they haven't agreed or finalised on the planning phase yet? Which means all the actual execution work is still to come...design/build/test/implement etc.
i.e. don't get too excited! That doesn't mean CCP can't fix a whole bunch of stuff through really simple reference database changes!

Haven't you heard the saying, "you can't polish a turd"
IMO they'll never truly strike the right balance in some areas. Especially Capitals and Sov. There will always be an edge the larger alliances can exploit. And therein lies the problem, alliance size!
I reckon one of the biggest and simplest changes that would go a long way in helping balance things would be to cap the maximum head count. Say, 1000, 500 max head count per alliance. This would help balance greatly and may even persuade smaller hi-sec alliances who thought they wouldn't stand a chance move out and take some space, whilst being pretty confident the neighbouring alliance isn't gonna drop a 1500 man fleet on them. |

honestly, from what I've heard about it, QA has been overworked and understaffed since the contract SNAFU of 2009.

so, instead having a powerblock made of 5 large alliances, you now have a powerblock made of 50 smaller alliances.

Rebalancing is done every 18 months? Not sure if trolling. |

Not sure if trolling. At one point a dev said somewhere that it takes 18 months to balance a single ship. That's why they never do it. Of course that assumes the hatchet method where CCP refuses to do small 1% balance changes every week or two on TQ and seeing if it works. Of course relying on CCP to IterateGäó is a bad bad idea.
And the fact that CCP is so late in the cycle to even start planning... that's just embarrassing. Seriously. Shouldn't that be done like the week before the last one goes live? No wonder CCP promotes based on who can tell the dirtiest jokes... they need people who can keep their teams entertained in the month after month of downtime. |

with drf now invading querious it wont be too long before drone cluster federation control all but stainwagon's space (though that will be next) in null sec.
null sec will then be full of goon and drf bots at that point.
drf will get mad cos noone else is left playing eve online to buy their isk so they can pay their morgages and send their kids to college.
drf will then turn on goons then finally on themselves.
even if the winter expansion fixes some issues it wont fix the more serious issues. unless ccp grows balls and starts to banning whole corps or alliances that allow or encourage botting, eve online wont be around much longer if ccp continue to ignore the current level of botting.
