I have read the dev blog, and frankly I'm stunned
I have rather low opinion of CCP game designers, but even I didn't think they'd do something like this. This is a new low. Like many others, I'm deeply disappointed.
Why must the game be changed to be more cumbersome and frustrating for the user? It goes completely against the nature of gaming - which is to entertain. It goes against personal feeling of progress - the game is regressing in features and capabilities.
If scanning people down was the key motivator behind this change, then a much more appropriate solution would be to improve the scanning system to handle these cases.
I'm just glad I was lucky enough to play this game in the years of 2005-2007, before it started becoming to annoying and frustrating.

I am on the edge of CCP now. I like EVE but I really dislike CCP
If they totally ignore this massive public outcry and implement their silly needless nerf, it will prove once and for all that they really don't care about the player base. And then I'm quitting for good. Other games may not be as hardcore, but at least most of them don't **** me off every time I read the patch notes.

Ok, so now they revised the plan you can view in the latest dev blog which you can find here. So, no need to keep replying to this thread and plug up those tear ducts.
I read that new blog and it looks better, a compromise. But it is still a bad and more importantly - needless nerf.
But it doesn't answer WHY they are doing this whole thing in the first place.
Is it really about the scanning issue? If it is, why go with a negative solution of reducing game features and ****ing people off instead of a positive solution to make the scanner better?
And why is this kind of "crap" is actually being worked on before many other things, things players actually wait 6+ months for.
On whose initiative has this whole bookmark process been started? who is responsible?

And in fact you CAN now (after Tyrannis launches) make bookmarks beyond 20AU and warp to them.
However you will have to do it with the legitimate game mechanics placed NOW.
If that is true then the negative impact of this whole affair will be very small. My primary concern was PvP situations where I warp in large systems and sometimes need to make bms in the middle of warp, which can be 10+ or even 20+ AU from nearest object. There are some systems with 280 AU warps, maybe with 80 AU warps.
Even so, I still think this whole bookmark business points out to a flaw in CCP's priority list. There's something not right about this whole thing. I don't remember any major threads from the community calling for action on this issue.

On the assumption that deep safes are the great, how is anyone that doesn't have access to the same mechanic that made them supposed to get access to their greatness?
You can get them from other players you know. They can be copied and traded.
A lot of things in EVE you get from other players
