Originally by: Yorku I feel I have to express my discontent towards this expansion. As far as I'm concerned, just from having read all the patch notes as well as all of the dev blogs on Tyrannis, this is going to be the worst expansion of all time.
I am running missions for isk so that I can sustain myself as far as buying PvP ships goes. CCP somehow decided that it would be a good idea to lower the minerals gotten from reprocessing the majority of loot. I'm not worried about this because I sell minerals, I've not done that at all. I'm worried about this because lowered supply of minerals will increase their cost, and as a result ship prices will increase as well. So now I have to run more missions (in which I'll make slightly less isk in) for the same thing.
How the **** is everyone so happy about this expansion? Planetary interaction is code-name for "Since Dust 514 is going to come out, lets help the rich get richer!" If it doesn't lower some cost for me, I'll be utterly displeased.
Although I say this, EVE is still undoubtedly my favorite game, but at the same time, I don't understand how CCP could ever have decided that missions needed a nerf. How about that survey they sent out about mission-running some months back? Did they not remember the bit about how tedious running missions is? They obviously don't give a **** about what th players think?
P.S.: When we get CCP pathnotes, please tell us exactly how things are changing rather than just a general idea. (ex. "Drone Compound volume is being decreased" vs "Drone Compound volume is being decreased by 25%" It's not too much to ask is it?
Talk to all the miners who have had their professions completely trivialized. Now put some more thought into it. Mineral prices go up, people start mining more, prices go back down. It's the market, it fluctuates...you've played this game before right? :)
Quit whining; at least wait to see what happens first.
That's probably true that miners will mine more and ship prices will go back down in time, but at the same time, that doesn't stop me from making extra money does it? Like I said, EVE will always be my favorite game, but at the same time, I think I have the right to be bothered by a huge expansion making it more difficult for me to make money, considering I already put so much time into missions... Do you really think that this is a necessary change in any case? I'm not sure exactly how many miners there are around, but I'm going to go with the term "a lot". (even relatively speaking by profession) Taking isk out of the hands of mission runners and putting it in the hand of miners is not something that I appreciate to say the least. I'm on the wrong end of it after all, and so - I express my discontent.
I consider it venting btw, not whining, although for the rest of you in your "Awesome Tyrannis bubble", I understand that it could be perceived that way...
Mining has been getting hurt for a while and there is alot of it to do with macro-miners going through belts like a hot knife through butter. The removal of certain keys being able to be shortcut'ed may help for a little bit, but i think they need to implement another "Operation Unholy Rage" against the marco-users since they are violating the EULA. Gather statistics that only a macro-miner can produce and use that as a base line to catch and lockout their operations. As for the markets, things will balance out like a real free-market should.
Well that might work but there are those people (like me) who are pretty much obsessed with it and mine 24/7. I mine alot and have been accused of macro mining but i don't macro mine. I have seen a few other people who seem like they are macro mining but accept requests when invited and therefor they are playing.
