Feedback for CCP:
On its own, a very bad idea as many have said already, I will try to focus on reminding you the whys you seems to have forgotten, rather than repeat what others have already pointed out such as lag on jump in:
- EVE so far has been a unique game, where players are not equals: When I started out, I missed on a lot of things the 2003 players didnt miss (such as the 10 Ogres Thorax, highly skilled Eos with 7 blasters+5 ogres etc) - I accepted that and dealt with it - why suddenly this is WOW or some hello kitty? let the new players work hard on discovering new things, while hearing about what the old players have they don't (in this case deep safes etc)
- EVE happens in space, which is boundless - which means there is NO SENSE whatsoever, for space to be sandboxed into abs(X-Star)+10AU LOL... wtf? are we in Need for Speed with closed circuit? with no exploration?
- CCP has stated explicitly, that should you want a break, you can always take one and not fear, as all your assets would still be there when you come back! how can you say this and look into the eyes of a Titan pilots who took a break from EVE?! This would be a slippery road, once you start walking it, there is no way back (for us too, we simply wouldn't trust you anymore.. probably even be CCP customers).
- Even if eventually you still think this ability needs to be removed - your approach is all wrong and too harsh for the above reasons... let the ones who have them, retain the bookmarks - its the way of EVE, the old players always had advantages new players will never have. If you change this concept, THEN REMOVE T2 BPOS! remove the unique ships! make EVE a damn politically correct (TM) sandbox for the self righteous activists or whatever... just don't delude yourself thinking this is for the better change, because it isn't (I am quite sure the old players have MORE accounts together, than the new ones...) so do your thinking again.
We understand not every dev is server side programming expert, but certainly there are better and more important things for you to work on, than mess with a delicately balanced, sensitive game mechanics? IT WORKS, everyone uses it, its not breaking the game, its part of it now.
in conclusion: DON'T FIX WHAT AIN'T BROKEN!!!!
