Originally by: Dorah Hawkwing Well, we'll see a few developments: No more high sec ice fields -->ice will ahve to be mined in lowsec
Less ice fields than asteroid belts in low sec --> concentration of targets for pirates and 'ice' thiefs
--> Ice minning will cost a lot more --> prices for isotopes will skyrocket --> macrominers will switch to asteroid belts in high sec --> even less profitable asteroids for high sec new players trying to learn minning --> less miners ingame who aren't macroers (now wait till tehday macros are autobanned -> less miners, less rocks, higher prics)
So far my ripple prediction. Comments?
I was thinking right along with you Dorah. I am curious to see what the ripples will do as they do their work.
My next question is this: If your predictions come to pass, I wonder how long it will take til the high security Ore belts become depleted as well?... ______________________________________________ Gardavil

Thank you for the 'in character' style of the news piece. It adds a lot to the game to have information presented well.
Thank you also for explaining the details. It's good to know what's going on. |

I just wentby the first ice field in Osmon. I looked just like one of Jita's ice fields before this measure was taken... the only difference: Drones! Tons of them. It will cost them a set of drones and that's it! No worries in 0.6 (Oh wait, Osmon is now 0.7, wtf?) Don't forget Covetors can hold 5 medium drones and macroers are probably training whatever is needed on their toons.
What is going to be nice is that the macros might forget a drone or two when they warp off for some reason. My fishing for tonight: a hammerhead, warrior and hobgobelin.

Don't the drones tend to attack when you loot their cans anyway? Thus giving you kill rights on not only the hauler, but also the barges?

I saw the ice price rise 10k over what I paid for it (white glaze) the other day in Jita. Got home last night and there was practically no glaze left to buy in the region.
Then I saw that Jita isnt loosing it's ice field. So dumped all my stock for 10k a unit.

Kuolematon, don't get me wrong. I'm not pointing any fingers nor am I after apologies and you were not one of the people I had in mind when I wrote the last post. I know EVE is a game that provokes emotional responses. I'd like some members of the community to read, think, and wait before posting.
Heck, at this point, I don't even know how far the ice removal is going to go, that is still being discussed by the game design team. For someone to post, "OMG, CCP IS GOING TO REMOVE ALL ICE FIELDS FROM 0.1 SPACE AND HIGHER!!!111elevenone" when the Devs haven't figured it out yet, that is where the annoyance comes from.
have you ever thought its your utter lack of comunitcations kills thats the problem, stop being so criptic with your posts int he first place dont leave room for scare mongering jsut be ******* honest for once in you life.
If your only take out of 5 sytems say so in the first place, God you have so not learnt your lesson from E3 and the uttter lack of communcation that ****ed all your payign players off.

my first thought also
FFS, CCP are always accused of allowing macroers for the profit their accoounts bring, when someone points out that they do ban macroers (at a loss of profit) people ***** about that too.

Strike me from that "all" please.
While I agree that a more organized communication about (for example) the macro issue would be great, the role-playing edge on this news item made me smile. Actually, I see it as an additional part of the game to let players find out the details of certain changes for themselves, and would welcome more of that.
It's kind of sad to see so many people unwilling or unable to adapt to changes, being fully occupied with having the best, and optimizing all the fun out of the way.

people tend to forget that eve is a very very big place
there are hunderds of ice fields(forgot the number, posted eailer by someone)
i know that it is a paiin to move your hq but loook at it this way there are probally very very little empire pos's in .4< by moving closer to your customers pos they have less to travel and you can mine more ice rather than haul it to some system far away to sell
too i many people tend to act like .4 and lower is instant gankage in one of my old corps we found a .3 system that was deserted that had ice and had fewer that 5 per hour ad with a close watch on local, good mining spot far away from the warp in point, and some good instas we never suffered a loss to a lone wolf pirate.
i would bet that the farthest ice is removed is to the point rats start spawing
glad ccp is doing something about mm that is meaningful ----------------------------------------------- I lost 5 sp of skill trainning time during the last patch an i demand that ccp refund it to me |

"other high-sec areas will follow".
Yet another example of CCP's total obsession with forcing everyone to PvP, whether they like it or not.
When, in the name of all that's unholy, will CCP realise that:
SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PVP
Or maybe they do realise, and want to force such people out of the game by making it impossible to make a living? If so, it's commercially an insane attitude.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I dont think CCP is here purely to give us a good time. Beleive or not they are a profit making organisation, same as just about every company in this world.
Either way you look at it they have to bring in cash, and banning accounts does hurt them financially.

Originally by: Balooba It'll be better for CCP take a leaf out of Blizzards book and take a financial hit by banning the cheaters. They'll gain much more respect from the MMORPG community and send out the right message to all the legitimate (and possibly loyal and long-term) players who are yet to give Eve a try.
Originally by: Oveur In june, close to 1000 paying accounts were banned.
So it sounds like they're doing exactly what you want them to do already. And lets just look at the maths of that - that's 1000 paying accounts banned, in one month. That's over 30 per day. I also see a lot of comparisons with WoW, and their 30,000-banning batches. People seem to think that because CCP aren't banning 30,000 accounts at a time, they're not being as hard on macroers as WoW. But that completely ignores the fact that WoW has about 50 times as many subscribers as Eve. For WoW to ban 30,000 accounts means they're banning 0.46% of their playerbase. For Eve to ban 1,000 accounts means they're banning 0.8% of their playerbase. So as a proportion of their total income, CCP are actually taking more of a financial hit due to their banning of cheaters than Blizzard are. ------- There is no magic Wand of Fixing, and it is not powered by forum whines. |

Originally by: vanBuskirkWhen, in the name of all that's unholy, will CCP realise that:
SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PVP[:?:
I'm with you there. I get my PVP kicks by competing in manufacturing and selling. I'm not in it to make gazillions of isk, what would I do with it all anyway since I already have a BS which is the best ship I can fly in highsec? I'm not interested in a freighter since it can't pick up jet cans so it can't help me mine at all. The freighter is just a pile of overpriced junk as far as I'm concerned.
CCP already have gone practically all PVP since very little is changed to help the mining/manufacturing industries, "because it will give macro miners too much advantage". I guess they have yet to figure out what gives them an advantage also gives the legitimate player an advantage to compete against them. Look at all the new T2 fighting ships that came out and miners got T2 barges that are only marginally better than the T1 and T2 mining lasers that we can't use unless we train for months to fly T2 barges. The only T2 haulers we got had less cargo hold than the T1 originals. WOW, that really helps us compete against macro miners!
How do CCP respond? By pushing the legit players into lowsec and 0.0 when they don't want to go there, leaving the macro miners to mine in peace and complete safety.

Oh excellant news! Will ice now just be in low sec systems?
Can't wait till to see when the price goes up any sellers should be sensible and not sell anymore till the fields disappear then we'll see some very high prices for awhile due to the fluctation I guess.
In other words BAHAHAHAHA Marco farmers. (please tell me its now .4 or below) --------------

First of all... you imply PvP as player on player ship combat. That is absolutely incorrect. PvP in EVE can be achieved through never firing a gun. Trade routes taken up by other players forcing you to find another is PvP. Working over resources like asteroids is PvP when it forces someone to find another rock, belt, system etc. Selling stuff on the market is PvP.
Trying to avoid any and all social interaction is PvP because you are taking yourself as a resource out of the equation yet you use bandwidth, add to any random lottery system that might govern a reward system... etc.
Simply put the ice market is broken. People that fly carriers and fuel POS know this but atm it works in our favor( cause I fly a carrier and need pos fuel ). Simply put there is little to no reason why you would ever even step into a low sec space in EVE if you don't want player vs player combat at the gate other than personal satisfaction or curiosity that you were there. It is too easy to sit a barge in highsec and not worry about it and know your ice can be sold if you follow the current saturated market pricing.
I would wager if they datamined for the amount of ice systems mined it EVE 0.0 would be minute yet a good amount of them lie within 'so called claimed alliance territory.' Yep... the system isn't broken... not at all... its absolutely fine... and PvP is just gun on gun with local smacktalk....

Ice Fields should not exist in high security space, period.
There is no logical reason why a natural resource demanded in 0.0 would be supplied by empire space. Its just further proof of CCP's massive failures with the EXODUS expansion, when it comes to actually making people leave Empire.
Giving people everything they want in a risk-free environment is single-handedly the WORST idea anyone could EVER come up with to get people in 0.0. Agents and POS are two other superb examples of this, and why I hate that expansion with a passion.
Adding insult to injury.. The complete lack of distinction/innovation in the way Ice is mined, and total irrelevance of scarcity and depletion has to make it one of the top contenders for worst feature implementation. Unsurprisingly, probe scanning and tactical view is there too.. more of the EXODUS insanity.

lol, guys, go get a life, maybe some of us just cant sit a the computer for hours and just cant go in low sec/0.0 just because cant set the game in pause yet when going afk because we have a social life. Easier for casual players to play in hi-sec. for macroers too ok, but still..not the best way to get ride of them...

CCP are a profit making business, period.
Giving people everything they want in a risk-free environment is single-handedly the BEST idea anyone could EVER come up with to maximize a companies monthly subscription income.
90% of the playerbase prefare playing in empire space (just look at the map). Forcing them out into low sec by removing stuff from empire or concentrating soley on new content for the minority who prefare 0.0 won't be too healthy for CCP's monthly subscription income.
CCP know this and try to find the right balance between making that profit each month and sticking to their orignal intentions of which direction they want the game to go.
Its a good thing you aint running the show at CCP HQ because eve would die a quick death and the company would fold in no time. Catering to a minority playstlye is bad for business.
In MMORPG the masses dictate the direction a game takes no matter what the original vision was. The masses in eve prefare casual gameplay, they prefare the safety of empire space, the prefare to go PvP when THEY want to and not have it forced upon them.
I'm not saying I agree with that because I want eve to be unique, but thats the way it is.

Yes. There was this hardcore PvP game... Shadowbane I think it was?
Very, very PvP. Loved by those who liked that kind of style. Bad for beginners who would end up ganked time after time.
First they cut down on number of shards, then they made game totally free and now I think they have folded completely and Shadowbane is no more.
There you go. Prime example how games tend to go if you do them too newbie harsh and try to force PvP on people. They do not play, new players will not join and income goes byebye.

If mass appeal was what CCP were after they'd have made World of Starcraft and riddled the game with instances, and not made a freeform group-competition based persistent player-driven world game.
