You cant implement something and then just do a complete turn around and remove it. If you had considered the implications properly prior to introducing sanctums etc then it wouldnt have mattered but now 2 years later you realise the error and want to take it away the same way as in a further 2 years down the line you will realise how this was the final straw and caused the decline of your game while you turn off the last server.
The world (and the game design team on this game) needs more people with the balls to say, we done ****ed up. We're fixing it, even if it causes butthurt. The power scaling of Eve's endgame and economy is busted. It needs fixing. This is as good as any a first step. Moongoo hopefully is next. I'll take jump bridges after that (not gone, just nerfed). Following that, a good look at capital force projection.
I remember when you flew a HAC because it was balls out. It was good, but not so good that you didn't lose one. Losing one hurt. We need that back.

You raise some fair points about the game design aspects of it, but as someone who's paid this sub for nearly 8 years now, its ****ed, and it NEEDS to be fixed. Not just *infini*ISK in nullsec. Moons, lvl4s, a bunch of stuff. Less ISK == more fun.

You dont understand how PLEX works. CCP doesnt care if you pay the $15, or the dude you bought the PLEX from did. Either way they get their $15.
In other words, there is always someone who will convert the PLEX into gametime, they are not good for anything else (well, you can put them into a Kestrel and get blown up in Jita for the lulz I guess).
QFT. Someone still bought the timecode to make the PLEX. CCP doesn't care who. PLEX is just a mechanism for those that have to buy game time and trade it for an agreed upon sum (market value) to someone who doesn't have/doesn't want to spend RL money on game time. The net to CCP is exactly the same.

Sure, remove local. While we are at it, make it impossible to afk cloak.
You do realize these two things are mutually exclusive, right?

So, we've established that currently, anoms are netting ~45m-alot ISK/hr.
We've established that a lot of people are angry about them making ~10m-20m ISK/hr.
I'll ask this. Seeing as how the really expensive stuff is all moongoo paid, and most of the current conflict in Eve involves Drakes and sh*tfit Maels, what exactly are you lot doing with all this ISK now?
I don't really see any 'big projects' going on. Just sitting there looking pretty in your wallet?

ISK always sits in people's wallets anymore. There's some interesting psychology that the richer a lot of people are, the more money they feel they need to be financially secure.
The Moon Goo is just a wealth concentrator; the ISK that people use to buy Moon Goo off of the moon owners comes from sites like Sanctums and missions. Without an ISK faucet, there aren't super-alliances with super-wallets.
So sort of like, the point of this nerf then?

Anoms earn 45m/hour? We have established anoms earn 150m/hour. If you're going to make nonsense up at least make something up to promote your pointless cause.
Building Titans and MS are what? Good to know the ISK used to buy and build them are in alliance leaders wallets. Next time you see a fleet of super caps remind yourself they're not there, the money was never used.
Liang and this nub are the definition of trolls. By picking some random numbers, false statements and making personal attacks they are not here to discuss anything, they're just here to antagonise.
I'm not trolling, and I'm also posting with my main. Also, who have I personally attacked? So, your claim is that everyone of these grunts, who can't pvp without this massive isk faucet, when they earn enough to replace (and insure) the primary ships of the line in nullsec combat in a couple of hours tops, is saving for a titan or scarrier through ratting now? YOU are either trolling, or just stupid.
I'll ask again, where is all the money going? If the answer is rent, and the burden is so high that the average member is stretched so thin, even at say, the 30 mil per hour figure that you threw out, the the issue is a social one, it has nothing to do with game design at that point.
TL;DR
The rent is too damn high.

look at it from a larger PoV
the old saying is dont fly what you cant afford to loose
now look at certain alliances
they are far beyond that point
they welping titans after titans and supers fleets (and subcaps )
not so long ago loosing a few **** lost would break an ally
now you just shrug it off
what this change will bring is imo
- renters will pay less or stop paying at all
- the average Joe will demand a good ship replacement program and leaders will need to pay out , not loosing their 5th titan
and so on
will these changes be enough ? i doubt it
ccp will watch were this leads to and i fear more pain incoming
This is a good post. It's the truth.
CCP fuxxed their game when they made the ISK faucets open. They need to reel it back in, because the way the status quo is, its going to get stagnant and die soon(tm).
This change will cause major friction inside coalitions. I don't care how much BFF spam we get. Pets will fail, and leave. For all the short-sighted "This hurts individual player" hb we get, equally, what are alliances, (and indeed, coalitions) made of? Individual players. The "elite" and alliance leaders are nothing without the grunts to allow them to play chess.
Someone up the thread said something about losing 30 guardians, and needing the anoms just to be able to keep up. That's the point. If your FC is leroying 30 guardians, time to get a new FC. You should die as an alliance/coalition, because you aren't very good. Its sad that you feel a sense of entitlement enough to demand that you can replace this near instantly in an Eve timescale.
Moons should be next, then lvl 4s, then dynamic truesec (several good idea's have been floated).
Ruptures can be fun, I promise...

I feel like going to iceland and doing a columbine to CCP headquaters. YOu might as well of rolled back the server to 2009 would have been less painful
Wow, really? Maybe you should take some meds/not take a game so seriously.

The first bigger alliances have already claimed their right for 32er Moons and ordered their renters to dismantle POSes there.
Yeah itŠs getting more and more vibrant and interesting MR. Greyscale.
And wohoo I heard of exactly 0 and I repeat for you dumb.ass ZERO alliances that called in their members to resettle and start a war for better sanctum systems.
What does that tell you Mr. Greyscale?
CanŠt wait for the day til this epic failure gets booted.
:BFF:

Dear Pitzi,
you simply donŠt have valid arguments.
The only thing you are doing is -and I quote you- "believe in CCP".
The question I got is how much does CCP pay you for being their fanboy?
You are not an inhabitant of nullsec, never built up an alliance and you are not even sov-holder.
So how much would CCP pay you for being their only fanboy left atm?
Oh yeah I know you do it for free coz you are such a strong believer in CCP and their great ideas...
Why not go back to your lowsec and wait for some poor soul to gank?
An elite sov-holding alliance builder, who thinks any other class of player can't have an opinion, who is crying about CCP nerfing their carebearing.

Problem is the Dominion changes encouraged the wrong type of player to set up shop in 0.0. ie Alliances such as FCON, FA, WTF, LAWN would have no business in 0.0 if they actually had to fight for their own space.
No disagreement here.

Second: Its not Stealing if the CEO thinks they are "entitled" to those profits for being the CEO, and no discussions have taken place on compensation to the Corp. In addition, if no one knows how much the Corp is bringing in, and there is no charter and no pre-defined arrangements, how is it stealing??
You could always, like, gank one of his freighters and take a look at what's inside. As others have said, this is a social problem. If your CEO is ripping you off like this, and you (not you, the proverbial you) are too much of a sheep to fix the situation, it's got nothing to do with game mechanics.
