People quit EVE because they get tired of waiting for CCP to make it a better game when you war, 0.0, lowsec, mine or run missions etc. If not for events like these the game would be dead by now. Want miners to stay? Start by making it interesting enough that you wont watch tv and read books with the game minimized, because after awhile a person could get the idea to just keep it turned off and quit to save time and money when watching tv and reading books. |

Maybe it's because I haven't lost a ship to these events and never truly experienced pain within this game.

I am sure the people like OP thought the same as you, then one day they started mining for ISK, somehow got stuck doing it. Since it is the most boring activity a person can partake in they started doing it AFK, some even started using a bot because it is just that damn dull. Then one day someone forced them to play the game again, the game they don't play but just logon to and click a button or 2 or even just to turn on the bot program to then return to their Skyrim (or insert whatever,) game for fun.
That was the final straw that broke the camels back, not only do they hate the game, don't want to play now you force them to do so!!
Sure they claim it is their sandbox too and to them it is fun but on the other hand the rage quit after losing 1 ship I never rage quit Skyrim because I die once and lose a little. Why? Because that game is fun.
Yes CCP became complacent and messed up, but not because these events can and do take place but because it is so boring for a miner that one small thing will have them unsub.
It is a symptom, not the cause is what I am trying to say. |
