So people cant just log on to bullshit? Or spend entire days exploring that may not yield much profit. it brings about grind grind grind! I need to get a bot because of this ****** payment plan!
**** you.
This is by far the worse round about way to try to effect afk cloakers. |

It still completely screws people who live in POSs |

its still going backwards though.
Unlimited month to only so many hours for the same price is horrible marketing.
Players can take individual mechanic nerfs, as long as its for the greater good. Yet putting a limit on the whole game that wasn't there before (even if just parts such as site rooms) is maddening. Would would have a riot.
Its easier in terms of PR and function to modify truly broken mechanics if they actually feel that are broken, such as afk cloaking.
Limiting the game as a whole, even if the majority wouldn't use up the time is still taking away what they once had the option in doing. This isn't taking away a function like dual afterburners, this is subscription and effects everything despite "timers off in specific zones".

no, she wants 150 hours or a month, which ever comes first. She wants to limit game time as a whole to try and effect botters and afk cloaks. not you getting more time for cheaper. |

As it seems CCP is (or at least was) open for shorter subscription periods.
This isn't the same idea though. Its a far cry from "you can use a micro plex for a week or 35 hours, which ever comes first".
CCP's micro plex, like 15 days. its cute and all, yet its still 15 days. not less in pure hours as the OP would want. |

If you don't understand why that is a bad idea then you aren't "trolling", just bad at math. No, you're just a knob-end. Please re-read the op and comment. thanks, bye!
Yet you are suggesting that we should get less than what we are already paying. |

Do you play more than 150 hours a month Roll Sizzle B? Even after my "first 30-min is free" discount and "no timer in stations" discount?
I bet you dont. Also, I bet way over 90% of the people here don't. But that's just us Beefy. You know, I could really use a nice well-toned industrious boy like you around the place. You up for that beefy-weeffy?
*owww...chicka chicka..pow wow... Oh yeah....!
Night folks! See ya later!
I could, and I have.
I work full time yet I get 4 days off a week.
10 hour days of semi afk behavior for the majority of the time.
Is that afk cloaked in nul making people parinoid? no.
Its guarding exits in wormholes and keep track of incoming and outgoing traffic, or scouting lowsec routes to pull in more fuel. Much of this takes tons of time with no immediate profit.
You are suggesting we get less than what we pay for currently. it's math. Doesn't matter what you think the majority might do on average yet its our option and right to play the game for as many hours as we would like within a month.
This shouldn't be calculated some some vague isk/hr ratio as depending on how you play you may always be dirt poor, or you make more money than you know what to do with.
Instead of this poorly thought out idea. Why not think of new mechanics that do the same exact function. Give Cloaks a 3600s activation that cant be auto cycled. Change mining grids daily like scan sites, or large sites with different ore locations which would likely be Ring mining. Can old static DED sites or make the rewards for killing those specific ships acquire diminishing returns so you cant blap them all day in Domies.
If you are indeed serious about trying to stop specific behaviors, quit trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. |
