CCP, a couple of points from a long time EVE Player who has 5 accounts.
Firstly, What was the point of having hundreds of us, waiting hours in the SIS Queue, to get onto SIS to test the Supercarriers and provide feedback; only to have you undo all the hours upon hours of testing by implementing this change?
Secondly, I thought CCP hired an economist to ensure that game design changes did not cause problems to the economy? I last recalled it posted somewhere that there was about 400+ MOMs in TQ now. With this one change (15 bil build cost -> 6 bil), you have effectively eliminated over 4 Trillion ISK from the economy. I also recall that over daily trade with a ISK value of just over 1 Trillion occurs each day on the market. Congrates, you just destroyed 10 years of economic work.
Third, at 5-6 bil per super carrier, it is dirt cheap for most alliances. 1 Titan cost about 50-60 bil and most large alliances field 2-3 Titans in a medium size engagement. Put 10-20 Supercarriers in a spider tank gang and it will be virtually impossible to put down due to EW immunity and high EHP (huge buffer tank, perfect for remote rep gangs). No need for any DCU either. 100-200 Sentries/Fighters/Fighter Drones with WTFP0WNBBQ anything. I strongly suspect EW immunity will be next on the nerf bat's target list once people start screaming that spidertanking supercarriers gang are immpossible to kill.
Next, supercapitals (Titans/Moms) have been a major investment in time and ISK for the majority of its current owners. For peeps like myself, who have been in game for 6+ years, we seen it all but this is absolutely the worst thought out idea ever. You are hurting the people who have stuck out with you. If you value the opinion of the guys who been with you since the beginning, listen up!
In addition, I can only imagine the riot which would have occurred if you had announced it at Fanfest a few weeks ago.
Lastly, for the guys who bought PLEXes/GTC for RL Cash so that you could sell them for ISKies and raise the funds to buy your MOM/SC;Well, you should have spent the money on hookers. At least it was clear who was doing the screwing and who is getting screwed.
PS: If this goes thru, I want an option to reprocess my Mom.
The day that EVE is truly bug-free, the EVE Gate will probably go super nova and kill us all. |
