I deeply resent many things CCP have done to reduce the game's fun and hardcore playstyle.

However, I believe that removal of learning skills does not effect either fun or hardcore playstyle in any significant way. This is simply a non-issue.

If you want to be angry at something, be angry at The Great Nano Nerf.
Not this silly learning skills crap

I know right!

Before the nano nerf, it was a good, pure game. You knew your enemy. It was 5 vagas, 4 ishtars, maybe an odd zealot or falcon.

Nowadays people fly many classes of ship, and that's fun and NOT what EVE is about.

I've had it with all these funbears enjoying their game.

There are people who are still smiling even when their ship blows up, or when invention fails.

Is that really what EVE is about? Fun without risk?

No.

I have to stand up, as a community, and let CCP know what I really want.

I want learning skills back, but harder to train. We want the game to reward only those willing to be bored for months on end. I want anyone who suggests a change to make things more convenient, or entertaining, to suffer some terribly ironic twist of fate.

Say, someone who complains about suicide ganking should have a CCP employee stalk them around and suicide gank them everywhere.

I want whoever plays different from us to be nerfed. We want the pirates to be locked out of everywhere, and we want mission rats to use a 'remote jump drive' to throw carebears into Amamake.

I don't want new content, we want old content to be made even less intuitive. I want to rage at all your attempts to improve the game, rather than serving our lord and master Lag.

But I digress.

I have a simple proposal. All it would take is some sort of visual recognition technology, say, a modified webcam.

It would scan a players face and, upon witnessing any signs of joy or 'fun', immediately lock the game up until they put on a proper visage of depression.

Is it fair to us bitter vets that these young players come in and destroy eve with their fun? No, it's not.

[b]I[b/] should also have a computer attachment that punches you in the face when you get podded. ISK is cheap to replace, and there's no -real- risk unless the videogame also punches you in the face.

EVE needs to get back to it's roots (chest beating, spreadsheets, and acting tough on anonymous internet forums). All this 'fun' you keep working on is going make bitter vets feel bad.

I'm glad learning skills are gone, but I agree with Ephemeron, If you want to be mad at CCP be mad over the nano nerf.

Can I be mad because there is pretty much no fun pve content in the game?
