I have thought long and hard about the 0.0 nerf and I have come to a few conclusions with it. 1st of all people who say its well worth it to try and take someones space to gain a -.9 -1 system in order to get sanctums for themselves dont realize a huge flaw in their logic. If you even managed to take over some space with a -.9 system or better you wouldn't even be able to do sanctums in the system. The first thing that came to mind when I heard that -.9 systems were the only ones that were going to have a decent ammount of sanctums in them, and that was "it would be fun to log an alt off in a system like that and just catch people trying to run sanctums." I can guarentee if someone were to actually take space from someone else who held a -.9 system that there would be a handful of people that would logoffski just to catch them while ratting. On top of that there are already people who are flying to random -.9 systems to try their luck at pirateing anomolies. The dilemma this leaves you in is the fact that if you go ratting in an expensive ship that can actually run anomolies quickly to generate a high isk revenue then you dont want to be out ratting when there are neuts/reds in the system, But if those neuts/reds know that the only place anyone is going to be ratting / running anoms is in the one or two sanctums in the entire region, then I guarentee you know where they will be found just sitting, waiting for someone to slip up. So essentially no one is making very good isk off of anoms anymore even when their are -.9 systems in the region.
Next thing I tackled was the though of, why would CCP do a nerf like this knowing the outcome. People you cant believe that CCP is actually as dumb as they are leading us to believe. Their Job is eve online, they can look at every little thing that every little person in the game is doing. Which means that they already know exactly how this nerf is going to effect us even before we do, or they Would Not Implement it, its as simple as that. I have been with eve for a long time, like many of you, and when a change happens, it has its reasons, but they are not always good reasons. Or even reason that are meant to help us the subscribers out. Here is what i have picked up on with this nerf.
Peoples first instinct is to rebel and say they are not going to subscribe anymore to eve, i'm sure some people actually will stop their subs, but the majority of us will stick through it like we always have. Their have been some pretty off times, "like the nano nerf" where people just sucked it up and counted it as part of the game. This is going to be one of those times when CCP knows we mostly will just suck it up after we are forced to accept this ludacris idea that they know wont cause the effects they are telling us. Now the real thing we need to look at is why would they do somthing like this knowing how it was going to effect everyone?
Back in my day ;), years ago before Sanctums in the day of the dinosaur... Lots of people use to stare at rocks for hours on end watching that ugly beam turn on and off. Yes my friends... People in 0.0 use to mine... One things i would love to point out is the fact that Grav sites seems to be pretty uneffected by the Patch, there are still lots of them. My thought is that CCP wants the real isk to come from mining once again, Why you ask? Because before people use to really have multiple accounts, and by multiple i mean having subs for 5 accounts to run hulk pilots and pull in lots of isk. That stopped when it became more profitable to run sanctums / level 4's. CCP i'm sure would love to have all those mining subs back up and running, +the new subs for new accounts who will be training chars for mining to meet the high demand for mining alts. Which in turn means more people buying plexes because plex prices will go up, and people will buy plexes with irl cash even more so when they are worth more isk.
Food For Thought ;) DENY THIS CCP...  |
