Correction.
They're breaking the botters routines.
Hence the flailing.

This is good. I never understood why chaining belts was possible. Also, who can stand belt ratting for isk? Bots could stand it I guess, it would take a very deternubed person to be able to rat belts for isk, or missions, or any other form of PVE in this game.

What's the problem with mixed battleship spawns? They're still worth far more than a cruiser or battlecruiser spawn. |

did you really type that? belt ratting is the worst way to make isk other forms are just as unproductive except for high end ded complexes
wtf are you smoking?
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

I could never understand the foaming-at-the-mouth craziness that erupted if I dared disrupt people's chains. This one time, at band camp, I blew up two destroyers and was awarded with an officer spawn. That officer dropped a couple of Dread Guristas items which handily padded my pocket.

There are a lot of people who still belt rat, namely newbees. Our newbees start by salvaging hubs and sanctum clears. Our older players will drop bookmarks outside of the station, summon newbees via jabber, or they will use ingame channels to get newbees to the isk. Once newbees have trained about 30-40 days on our newbee skill plan, they have the necessary skills to start belt ratting or running L2 missions. Since we as an alliance despise mission running, they usually end up in the belts.
On the other side, botters use the simplicity of belts to afk rat/farm isk.
New players are what help Eve grow, and in turn goonswarm/test/eve uni. Its hard to find a balance between helping newbees and screwing bots. |

Isk/h ??
Do you guys play a game or doing a job of it? -do you use the same ideal in real life, like ask yourself how much $/Gé¼ is your productivity when you're at the coffee machine or blahblahing at the phone with your girlfriend/boyfriend while at work ??
I'd kick arses...
If you kill those rats, salvage, loot then reprocess and sell everything I'm quite sure you get a very decent isk from it to buy new ships and go kill stuff.

I'd kick arses... If you kill those rats, salvage, loot then reprocess and sell everything I'm quite sure you get a very decent isk from it to buy new ships and go kill stuff. Again, if you look at it from a new player perspective, they are trying to figure out if they like this game enough to buy it or not. They actually waste time that they could be ratting belts to stop to loot anything that isn't Dire X or Officer Y. We have a lot of fleets going on, so time wasted ratting is time not running in small gangs.
Thankfully we make it a point to hand out free frigates and destroyers. We also hand out free cruiser cash if they post the loss. No one wants to spend their 30day trial ratting while they are figuring out if they like a game or not. The majority of the players we have that stick with the game start on the 30day trial buddy invites from existing players. Our newbee onboard programs are structured around minimizing the boring parts of being a newbee until they have the skills (that we've recommended) to do PI and rat. |

I do not like this change. Unless somehow it equates to higher isk/hour. Honestly I was hoping some day belts could be perma chained when downtime ceased to exist.

Does it apply to anomalies and plexes as well ?
sure hope not they are already worth less isk per ship... i would have reduced rewards to that of deadspace eq but meh... |

It is probably a good thing to screw PvP'ers who don't want to go perma-blinky, or who don't want to be slaves to zerosec RMT/bot-plantation barons anyway. Incursions [are] by far the largest faucet in EvE and [they] won't be toned down a bit, as CCP keeps whoring for carebear subs. This would be a good way of dumbing down EVE even further, faster. There: All fixed up for you--that's what you meant to say, after all, innit? No it's not. I meant exactly what I said. CCP has already stated that Incursions are NOT the biggest faucet in EvE. Now quit editing my posts with your nonsense crap. Not everybody who has a different opinion than you is a bot.
Appeal to authority =/= effective argument.
CCP is whistling through its' ******* to keep carebear subscribers from revolting re--Incursions.
And who said I said that this was about ISK?
A lot of us who chain-rat in null do so to keep sec-status reasonable, we're not out there because we want to be, or find it fun.
There are much, much better ways to make ISK in this game. In irae, veritas. |

Is it really about the isk lost from ratting? Or is it about a tiny disruption in grinding sec status? Ratting bots are likely not used just for making isk. Profit favors the prepared |

Silly.
If this whine were about botting nobody would even know because bots don't require human attention.
If you can grind sec afk, what difference does it make if it gets slowed down a little?
That's more time for um...

I have a great deal of mixed feelings about this.
I started off in nullsec belt ratting. For a noob watching his first 1.2 Million bounty in wallet it is great joy. For this aspect it does not seem to affect things.
#2 It was very annoying having different people in corp spout bs about how the chaining worked. Now people wont have to deal with that and can focus on trying to get faction spawns.
#3 The only disadvantage to the nullbear really is that chaining was a rather surefire way to make funds if you could not handle the big anoms yet.
#4 This is going to mess with lots of bots. I love that!
#5 What we have to note tho is that if the bots switch to more clear and faction mode it could mean prices for faction and officer items could plummet which greatly hampers legit users. Again it highlights how important it is to report the bots. Even blue ones! |

That is fine but you do realize that unless they made the MAX spawn for missions the same or lower than it was before people are going to lose ships. And not in a good way.
Because after the Drake (Which nearly or really melts in some missions) You have to go up to some really expensive stuff to tank. No problem for a bot for for the average newer player it could be disaster to the point of saying "Frak it I'm out"
Not saying dynamic is bad. But it does have cons.
I would MUCH rather have less incoming DPS and more variation in their tanking so that picking ammo is no longer so easy. |

Yes, it applies to at least sanctums. It may not be a terrible thing, as it means that waves where 4-5 jamming ships spawn may only contain 1-2 jamming ships now. |

EVE's PvE component is an archaic joke, and changing the type/number of a few more or less red crosses is not going to change that.

i sure hope it was intentional!
2/3 of eve's isk is generated from npc bounties... if you can reduce isk generated then you can reduce inflation...
Calling schenanigans on this for one reason. Inflation hasn't been a problem in eve for years since I started. In fact, for a while it was severe deflation.
Recent inflation is incursion running. Want to know how bad it is?
Recent incursion last week, one player had near 1 mil concord points awarded, the #1 shooter. To put in perspective.
Isk to LP works out to 5 mil per 1000 concord lp. This is isk reward payout. So you make 1000 lp, you also have 5 mil of isk. Now 1 million lp means that the player. In a week of nothing but EASY EASY EASY vanguard farming that is so predictable and scripted, it is pathetic. (too bad, the npcs do make for nice combat otherwize). Player made almost 5 bil
5 BILLION ISK, IN HIGHSEC, FARMING PVE IN A WEEK! I checked out the incursion, got the mail to prove it, as did every other single person who got lp in that.
Check out the price of legions, the armor farmer fieldship of choice, is impossible to get the stuff. Subs now selling for more than shortly after they first showed on market.
Edit, more rage rant....
More math to think about. 10 peeps per incursion site vanguard, farmer favorite. That means 50 bil rewarded amongst 10 people. Main fleets have hundreds of people in channels, multiple fleets. In a week, we are talking hundreds of bil of isk awarded to but a small group of players. There is nothing in game that matches that type of earning. Nullsec, if you are lucky you might get that one bil isk drop, but it definitely doesn't haven every day. |
