Please tell me where the guns are on a freighter. Most haulers have a whopping one gun... what is the point... Freighters do not have guns...to beat them you use a....wait....wait....wait...a scout in a noob ship. I know ridiculous right? So you have to have two accounts to play Eve, so grind for plex or two subs, this is a major reason as it kills casual play. hardly ,mmo right , make friends they work for this too.

Hi guys can someone be a scout for me as I move my freighter, hmmmm sounds interesting yeah it will be fun , lets do it yay!!!! I know it is ridiculous in an MMO to make friends. How about you logoff and uninstall so that the rest of us can get on with things. No, really. Just logoff an uninstall. Idiot. Well it is so funny, get a friend to help you do the most boring activity in the whole game which is moving a freighter, what planet are you on. Oh goody when I skill up I want to be a scout for a freighter, great fun Its a favour i would do for a mate at the drop of a hat if required and i know any of us would do for me if i was stuck for a scout. Its not about fun its about keeping a significant investment alive.
Christ man, What kind of jackass wouldnt scout a corpmate.

So as mercs would you do convoy duty? never been asked to. But some other mers were asked and refused saying it would cost too much and why was that? ****ed if i know but i would guess because they were asked to fly their whole fleet around with the damn thing.
thats besides the point though, you need 1 corp mate to help out and that isnt asking a lot

Asking a fleet to folow you around i.e. Escort duty, is stupid yes, thats what you were driving at i know but Asking a corp mate to scout you about, web you into warp if needed isnt actually asking anything of them.

Yep..classic "it's everyone else's fault" mentality... mmm no, I think it's also fault of the mentality of younger players. They probably want things to be easy to access, CCP is probably trying to get in contact with them, giving them some more informations and so on. My impression is that they need some more effords to make the information not only available but easier to be grasped. It's like the dailies and the new event thing, if I can make a personal comparison, "dailies" were put there in a primitive stage then removed shortly after while event is nicely presented but it seems a grindfest and it clashes quite much with the freedom concept of a sandox game. It's all half blur and half messy even if it gives the idea of a will to reach new "young" players. would you like areoplane noises with that?

So is everything said running conter to it.

The only reason they dont ed up as antiganking white knights is the established ones are hilariously incompitant and incapable of forming a counter movement, so the come here an **** and moan about it not being fair. Yeah im aware thats my biased opinion but thats all year going to get from this thread anyway.

Yeah im aware thats my biased opinion but thats all year going to get from this thread anyway. Edit: I hate this phone. Funny but every time I told people I played Eve, the number one complaint was other players. Ganking was not high on the list though. About midway perhaps. Nerd drama and general ass-hattery where higher. Even when you beat someone at their own game, the sperging nerd-rage is enough to make you wonder if you even want to be associated with them in any way, not even in the "playing the same game". E1 for example. Ever been on X-box live? Once. But I tire easily of feeling like nuclear war or killer viruses are justified. Harshes my buzz so to speak. The Physical Removal Principle works (regardless if removing someone else or removing yourself). Lots of people have done that with Eve. Tell you what so, you go tell the rest of eve to stob being beligerant gobshites to one another and we'll take it from there .

We're trying to tell CCP not to pick sides. That's all. That's what I would say too. Just in case you missed it: CCP designed a game to be harsh, dark and gritty. They picked sides before anyone started playing. This seems to be hard for some people to grasp. If EVE is to stay EVE then CCP will always side with a harsher play style. Accept it, adapt or move on seem to be the only choices. Except if you are a ganker loot scooping, you can point someone with no consequences, you can loot scoop for the risk of a noob ship, so I have to accept that gankers have it really easy? Yeah right, harsh dark gritty, tha's a total laugh... Bumping is being adressed, loot scooping requires two additional people to coordinate with [insert however many] required for the gank. Its a non trivial fleet op.
CCP regularly slap the predators down, they also have to slap the prey from time to time too, thay arent takang sides here theyre just habing a rough times lapping both of us equaly as hard.

Or would you like a poll where you choose the games? This would make it easier for CCP to acquire new players, cause they know where to place ads.I could imagine that players that are playing for example Dark Souls or Civ are more likely to play EVE then people playing Sims. Hell no, im pretty sure the last thing you want is your wife trying to act like your girlfriend, thatd be upsetting on soo many levels.
Same thing with eve... Sort of.

Ganking is a very visible and very controversial thing when you're first starting the game as a newbie, just not to a vet. And it's those new players that it's having an effect on. I'm not saying it shouldn't... CCP went with the philosophy of HTFU over hand-holding but it comes at the expense of new player retention and it's disingenuous to say otherwise. No it isnt, the pissing and moaning about it is though. This mewling and crying about it is what they pick up on, hardly anything moar.

Can you validate that claim? From CCP Quant's FanFest 2015 presentation: - 175,000 unique users online per day - 420,000 unique users per month https://puu.sh/qqzBG/ffd6502ea9.png (based on 2014 averaged figures). We also know from comments at FanFest in 2014 that there are ~480,000 names on the monument, representing the total subscribed number of accounts (minus inappropriate names) active back in March 2014. ~420,000 active monthly out of ~480,000 subscribed accounts at the time and 2/3rds with only 1 account, which has been a stable figure for a decade. The specific numbers online are lower now, however a simple comparison of your claim against the available information (did you even go and look at CCP Quant's reddit post linked) suggests that your claim is wrong. Is it so hard to try to validate your assumptions before typing something stupid like " game that requires 2 subscriptions is not a fair game" It clearly doesn't require 2 accounts. That's just a dumb statement that isn't supported by the available evidence. Hay every one! Look, shes using facts ,statistics and employing research in a reasonable and concise manner.

Beta Maoye wrote:Eve has many emerging competitors that are taking players away. Eve game mechanic is getting old and familiar to players. Other games offer similar experience too. Fixing old issues cannot give the game edge over other competitors. Unless Eve can offer truly innovative features to identify itself, it will be getting more difficult to compete for the same set of players against other new games that offer similar features and more. Eve has truly innovative features that identify it, the bears never cease complaining about them.

Solecist Project wrote:regarding me feeling different if miners stopped playing:
a big difference between the pve and the pvp crowd is ... ... that the pvp crowd also does pve ... ... while the pve crowd doesnt do pvp at all.
this means the pvp crowd is including, while the pve crowd is excluding.
they believe that if they stopped mining others wouldnt take their places. thats wrong. its so far from reality alice in wonderland sits at it with a table, drinking tea!
if they all stop, prices go up and its perceived as worthwhile again. you have to realize that you are not only not special, you are also easily replaced. two of the most efficient miners i know are also mercenaries. infact a sizable chunk of our non-contracted wars were grinding their competition into a messy pulp.
miners, ever wondered why sometimes mercs decide to jump up and down on your corp for no apparent reason? you likely stepped on their pve alts profit margins or moved into their farm of some description or another.
i take up exploration when i have spare time (i like scanning and its good for practice) and we used to grind out locator agents for standing (which is a considerable amount of work, hell whenever i get the chance i run the amarr ark twice (pull from two chars with standing and do each mission back to back). all told its the guts of a billion in couple of days.
so if the bears stopped working you know what would happen? our profit margins would increase several orders of magnitude overnight.

i have hammered this point before and im not about to do it again so ill be brief.
mas decs did indeed happen before the buddy list.
marmite however had gone through a hilariously public messy and drama filled restructuring shortly before this happened and were remodeling after ourselves.
were doing quite a good job of it too.
pirat and vendetta were always high on the dec count but that was the exception rather than the rule.
there was an immediate and sustained increase in mass wars directly after the buddy list.
also, Vimsy, Tora and I said exactly that would happen ,repeatedly months in advance.

All the whine and complaining, and the people defending and countering and blah blah blah shows that the forum is active.
That and locking a thread saying, "AYE Dis game is dead yo" kinda looks bad in it's own right.
What would be worse if thread like these are left at page one. With nobody responding.
That or the ISD's are a sadistic bunch and they like to see people fight with each other like some sort of Forum Satan and we all died and this is our version of hell.
