A solid rant with sweeping generalizations and lack of any actual examples. On the negative side it lacks insults and is horribly short.

People build up their corps/alliances to be able to produce stuff, ppl whine about being able to get like titans, imagine the whine if CCP didn't add anything more ever, you'd all be whining about there's no new content for older players, and EVE is dying.
Soloing, while I do it (but in the non-pvp way) I have no comments on this, but it could for all I know be very accurate, I have no idea.
Unbalance, probably, but there won't ever be balance I think, and it's hard to balance it correctly, small tweaks impact other things as well and EVE is dying.
Solution, no idea. I'm just rambling. |

Its simple really.
They've heard "CCP is killing the game" too many times and began thinking about the growth they've experienced in the last few years. They've concluded that they've somehow managed to recruit too many WoW players. There are just too many of these type of EVE players, and they are trying to drive some away.
The thinking is that the growth they've seen has been of the wrong sort of player; whiners, complainers, unlike at first - bold, brave, explorers, pilots.
Since whiners, complainers, tend to exhibit the property that they complain loudly then quit, they are come and go types. Whereas the pilots, exhibit leadership, and the ability to endure difficult or unpleasant situations, they tend to see things through.
CCP is killing the game to rid it of the low end of the Gaussian curve, so that they can again target the right sort of player.
Its not hard to see really, its not rocket science. |

Maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately it's difficult to talk objectively due to lack of solid data.
We need to example ship killmail statistics over last several years. We need to deduce what kind of combat was happening, juxtapose on history of major game patches. Then try identify differences in patterns between the periods of major patches.
All observations and conclusions should be based on real numbers, with calculated error percentages due to inaccuracy of data.
It would involve painfully long tedious work in data mining public killboards, with significant error percentage due to imperfect nature of early killboards. CCP have much more reliable data, but they are less likely share it.
Anyway, I have yet to see anyone attempt a serious data based analysis. Usually we just get personal experiences backed up with selective killboard data at best.
My own personal experience suggests there's a grain of truth in what the op says, but there is no hard evidence. |

My belief is that CCP didn't much 'kill' the game, players did, with killboards.
Killboards telling the tale of peoples mistakes, people begin fear making those mistakes for the very real prospect of being ridiculed and causing negative political fallout for their group.
So they grow cowardly and calculated to the point where most the skirmishers have already logged when things finally go down. |

Very interesting perspective! Not sure I agree, but interesting thought nonetheless.

Public stats (ie: killboards) are generally bad for games. Look at games like BF2, it completely ruined the BF gameplay (for the record I completely owned at that game :)
People stop playing just for fun and instead change their play style to whatever achieves good stats and makes them look good. EVE is no different.
It's a generalization of course, but I'd think most people would be like that. |

Piffle. There's only two people who will make fun of you for a killmail:
1) Your corpmates. Laugh with them and fit better next time (or, if they're being *****s, find a better corp with people who will laugh and then help you fit better).
2) Non corpmates. Tell them to **** off and fit better next time.
If you're afraid of being made fun of, grow thicker skin. Killmails are necessary for tracking efficiency and without them you'd have no ability to track your progress over time or how much more effective additional skills make you. Not to mention they're really necessary for corps like mine.

what are you talking about..?? The OP is quite right in what he says...Not sure how what people do in their own game has anything to do with what the OP says..
By the way leave your attitude at home big boy its not needed on the forums...
Soloing
Everyone agrees that soloing is dead, the odds are soo stacked against soloist its untrue.
Titans
People agree that titans need looking at, it is mad how many there are now. Fleet battles are dying, becuase of titans, why bring out a support or battleship fleet when there are 5 titans in the system, the outcome is death, instantly, no survivors..
Balancing
I totally agree with this, the game is crazily unbalanced..
nuff said.

Go whine some more. CCP will balance when it feels like balancing in a RATIONAL mood and not just RANT RANT RANT on the forums. God, imagine what would happen if a dev came on the boards and went, "You guys are totally right but my colleagues are d!ckh34d5 who either won't or can't balance the game and now I don't want to play what I create!" (by the way that was rhetorical.)
Don't like fleet PVP as it is now? Try small gang. That doesn't do it for ya? Try solo. No? Pirate in high-sec. CONCORD not figuring into your plans? Find another PVP corp and arrange a wardec in a remote area of highsec. You should know by now that EVE is a sandbox, make your own fun - if some areas of the sandbox have sinkholes then DON'T PLAY THERE, instead play over where they're making sand castles.

killmails/boards suck. It's the wow part of eve-online where everybody is tha rul0r with his 500 to 20 stats ...
Imho this whole km system is the solution to finaly fix this pvp-boringness. Like DAOC and many other MMOs, there are incentives/rewards for pvpers.
Thinking of some kind of IMGAME killboard/stats/charactersheet whatever, where one would actually get/lose experience points for kills/loses. Something like that:
You start with 0 points on your EP account. You get points for kills and you lose them when blown up. You can't get negative and you can only trade your points once you've reached a certain ammount.
Example:
- You solo a ranis (base 100 points) with your rifter (x2.0) = 200 points
- You get ganked in your mega (base 1000 points) by a 20 man goon fleet (mixed cruisers/frigs) (x0.187435563) = you lose like 20, every goon gets somethiong between 2 and 4
- Once you have collected 5000 points, you can trade them in for 5 skillpoints, LP, magical spoon +15, whatever
This would be a though balancing job, but i'm pretty sure it would get us a lot more ppl into low/zero and better fights as well
