If you witness acts of griefing, you should report them to the GMs via the petition system so that the griefers are properly punished. I would really hate it if griefers killed my pvp-centric spaceship MMO that I've devoted many years of my life to.

If all these pathetic haters and whiners would really be consequent and leave EVE the game would be fixed.

Your stupidity is showing. You hate others just the same. And those who you hate affect your game in no way unless you let them, which makes you the whiner.

I'm not referring to griefing in the sense of targeting a specific individual, but more directly to the general sort of griefing that Hulkageddon and Burn Jita consist of. It's still griefing, (what else would you call it?), but it's not against the EULA or ToS.

So played Eve pretty hard for a couple of years from right before Apocropha came out and was in love with the game but my enjoyment diminished with each less enjoyable update after it. Got tired of spending tons of hours building up a corp to over 100 players to have it be riddled with pointless wardecs from small half a dozen member gangs seeking just to disrupt or harass. But was enjoying wormhole life with my three carrier pilots and had a supercarrier alt completed. But it's been about 7 months now since I've played and I'm curious to hear if people think the game has gotten more enjoyable again and if its worth coming back or should i give it another six months or so?

All wormholes are occupied. The goons, the russians and soon to be japanese empire cartel everything. Major alliances are deciding where you can do your shopping and where you can't, mining has been deemed bad and punishable by aggression, and the trolls have multiplied by a factor of 1000.


Do not return.

I came back a year ago (holy crap) and have been enjoying it immensely. First time I've ever made it past ~3 months in a row and have hit 12 this time. They're making some changes to stop the random wardec harassment and make corporation wars more meaningful, we'll see how that goes.

I would have suggested you try Incursions if you were looking for good PVE content (I presume so since you did Wormholes) but they were nerfed into utter oblivion recently and are no longer worth bothering with other than a curiosity.

its never worth returning to eve

it is however a good idea

The above +100. CCP feeds the trolls & eventually 'fixes' everything into extinction everything that you like about the game. Game testing is done by a bunch of monkies throwing poo on the wall & the DEV's code by sense of smell

No.

Saying that, I cant put my finger on exactly what is missing.

All wormholes are occupied.

Well, Goons essentially control CCP, since several folks at CCP are confirmed goons. It's not a good thing for anyone that dislikes the goon mentality, because they're making small changes here and there to shift the game to what the goons want it to be. That will continue to happen until EVE is basically "that 273rd game that got wrecked by goons". Right now it's not so bad, but if CCP continues what it's doing and planning, it'll be time to abandon ship eventually.

Eve is pretty much the worst game out there and gets worse with every day that passes by. For every member your corp gets there are 10 half dozen member gangs who will wardec to harass you. Nowadays it's not just those guys but also the Goons killing every single mining ship out there, and breaking trade hubs left and right. Eve is only going to get worse from what I see, between the wardec revamp, Drake nerf, bot bans, drone nerf, and generally CCP being the most horrible game company.

Eve is in fact so terrible that in order to have fun you have to bend your own mind and create something that's fun. If you want to take another swing at that, go ahead and come back to Eve. If not, then no, Eve has not gotten any more fun.

I too enjoyed Incursions immensely until the patch & am seriously considering unsubbing after CCP 'fixed' it just like I quit Eve for 6 months after theIncarna fiasco

All other idiocy in this post aside... the drake is not getting a nerf. The proposed changes are a HUGE buff.

Regarding World of Darkness:

EVE is suffering from an excess of player-player griefing atm, with Burn Jita, Hulkageddon, and all. The forums are full of trolling and negative sentiment, and thread/post quality has gone down considerably with these recent events and excess inflation. Players are not logging in, and it seems to me that the current online players is roughly half what it was on average a month ago.

Don't worry. 4chanSwarm are not the first to try to break the game for others nor they will be the las,t and just like the alliances and corps that came before them, they too will eventually fade. Such is the cycle of things in EvE.

Most people probably don't remember m0o by now other than as a eve-history entry, and they achieved far more when it came to game mechanics changes and getting the devs involved than the BtardFleet ever did and probably ever will.



tl;dr: Deal with it. They'll eventually fall just to be replaced for something else.

The game is NOT D&D. It has a massive base of fans, and White Wolf is second in market size only to WotC( who owns D&D). D&D is about being the hero. Vampire is about basically being as evil and corrupt as you can get away with. Dark, grim, and back-stabbing psychopaths set in a world with a myriad of politics and dark agendas at every corner. There's a whole segment of gamers that eat that stuff up like crack.

Are you ready to play 8 to 15 hours a day? Thats your competition.
