Remove local in null: null-bears move back to empire

Cut PVE income in high-sec: many serious ISK-grinders will move back to null (lot of them null-alts anyway)

Make NPC less predictable to reduce the risk-free nature of empire PvE

Nerf excessive projection of power by a increasing the fuel-cost of capitals, to end massive NAP-trains acting as Mass Effect's Reapers, culling null-population many regions away. Impending boredom-rot will limit the size of NAP-fests as well.

Ofcourse as a Goon, I'll suspect you'll be against anything that will end GoonSwarms absolute dominance in EVE (as this bundle of changes will).

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

You thought wrong. Looks like you're still thinking wrong. EVE isn't a cookie-cutter MMO & has not reached it's high point. Subscriber numbers climb each year, can you name any other MMO that has achieved this 9 years running?

Subscriber numbers may be growing but the number of active players online at any given time has been declining a lot. There are not even half as many players online at any given as there were a year and half ago. Seriously, the number of active players on the server now is about what is was when I started playing 6 years ago.

Other than that, what you said is fairly insightful. A weird day for me to start posting on the forums.

We would just do what we always do, and what Empire pubbies refuse to do. Adapt.

CCP does not seem to care about what the players want.

You know, I feel like if I suggested these things, I would get shouted down for trying to destroy hisec/welcome to GOONS online/BLOBBER BLOBBER BLOBBER. Doesn't meant they're good ideas though.

I can't believe this good alt thread is still going. Bravo sir!

This game allows married men(or basement nerds) do what they are afraid of doing in RL because of consequences. "It's not real" is not an excuse, because you are still dealing with real people. You certainly wouldn't kill, wouldn't gang up or steal for "lulz" in RL, why do it in the game ? Given the state of this game/forum i'll think of everyone as a cutthroat mug who is after personal satisfaction.

Because you can!

I just want to tell you that I'm never ever playing a Draw Four card in a game of Uno again.

Jesus! I didn't realize there were such sensitive feelings at stake as this. I can't imagine how my Scrabble opponents have all felt all this time.

Games may no longer be for me.

You've shown me the light.

Your proof? I've been to VFK, I didn't see that. Where is it happening, then?

Yes, I hear making something dependent on isk is a great balancing mechanic which works well.

How many times do you people have to be told that the only real limiting factor in EVE right now is time, so if you absolutely want to make force projection harder to do, then you need to make the act of moving f.ex capitals/supercapitals take more time than they do now.


Wait, there were 80-85k users online at some points 18 months ago? Funny, that's not what I seem to remember.
