but I understand that it's impossible, ccp will lose 60% of subscribers, so never mind...
I think you've touched on a core aspect that most of the 'graduation plan' promoters have missed, when trying to 'force' high-sec people to either go to null or leave the game.
A 9% drop in subscriptions last summer predicated a 20% layoff of staff at CCP. In addition to human-related expenses, there are likely 'non-fireable' expenses that can't just be laid off (bills, obligations of other types). So if CCP were to take this thread too seriously and start an all-out null push, I doubt the company would come anywhere close to 60% of subscriber loss before the company doors would close.
As to the idea of 'the people that leave will be replaced with the right type of people', it apparently wasn't happening fast enough to prevent high-sec from becoming the population center of the EVE galaxy before.
My basic hope is that CCP is looking at player actions whenever they consider regulars posting on the forums. |

REALLY ???? 0.0 Alliances want people from High-sec, I think NOT. Leave high-sec players in High-sec they are out of the way and a non Issue. They deal with all the stuff that null players don't want to deal with. If anything 0.0 needs more space, not a transplant of the masses from high-sec to 0.0.
We apparently have some forum regulars that see high-sec as a training ground from which everyone should be forcibly removed after a certain period of playing. Unfortunately for you, those regulars are bringing up the same drumbeat enough that it may have CCP's ear. As we've seen, and has been noted before, once an *idea* takes firm root in the minds of the decision makers (that don't seem to play all areas of EVE), it seems to get pushed forward with no regard for dissenting information.
I don't feel like it's productive to try to 'force' a playstyle of nullsec on people, it'll only lose subscriptions. |

One 'idea' if you want to try to 'purify' EVE's playerbase and chase all of the nullbears and carebears out of EVE: Remove most crafting. Remove most avenues of creating ingame content via ship-building and such. It'll stop mining to a large degree, for why do it if nobody needs or will buy the minerals?
Restrict the small amount of crafting to a few approved lines and items like WOW does, and I will bet that you'll see the carebear players leave EVE in droves. Then you can have your PVP player paradise free of dissenting voices, right? For a month or three. I don't see an influx of PVP-only players waiting at the subscription button for the news of this type of change, so I don't know how long EVE would stay in business. |
