Look at all those haters, holding vast tracts of low-truesec space.
Anyone who says this won't reshuffle 0.0 is either stupid or has an agenda.

To counter the nerd-rage:
* More knobs to tweak, so if it really is detrimental to EvE then it will be easy to balance for more sanctums/heavens.
* Instead of having static anomalies, low truesec systems could have intermittent access to higher-level anomalies.
* Adapt or die.

Originally by: Hermosa Diosas Really? You dont think 39 pages of negativity, warrants a rethink? Nice one..
When it's all crap from people who are desperate to keep their income and alliance alive, then no, it doesn't deserve a rethink.
I personally am looking forward to the conflict when former BFF start arguing over who gets to rat in the good systems, in addition to the reemergence of Providence'esque regions.

Originally by: Commander Hold Yes I am sure the only ones that are happy are the old holders of provi. Once again they will be able to claim their useless space back with out contest. Its the only way they can get it back is when its useless and no one wants it.
That is a contradiction... If no one is interested in the space, then no one is willing to claim it.

Originally by: Killin Kittens Rakshasa, most of the conflict you're wondering about will go like this... Our Corp "our space sucks and we can't afford the rent you've imposed on us for use of this area." SOV Holder "so?" Our Corp "we would like (x) system because that will give us close to a break even where we were at" SOV Holder "that's 3x the rent you were paying... it's occupied already BTW and there is a waiting list of 9 other corps that have all been screwed out of the upgrades they worked so hard to install... the upside is most are leaving for level 4's... so just sit and hang out for a bit and maybe the 5 that are left can share it... lest we remind you any action against an alliance member will be acted upon by the whole of the alliance." Our Corp "well that sucks" SOV Holder "we could titan drop you if you don't like waiting..." Individual corp members now make arrangements to go back to Level 4's in high sec. Other corp members simply say FU CCP, and find the Cancel Subscription button.
With the bot-nerfs coming, I can quite easily see how the rents can be quite hard to achieve.
BTW, the past 3 years my corp has been in many 0.0 regions living on scraps if needed. But those were always non-renting relationships, and through those times we've been on the receiving end of a more powerful entity swinging its **** around. Yet not only did we survive, we prospered.
This change makes me happy because it nerfs renter-heaven, but boosts the hardy independents out to make their mark. The kind of corp we were back then.
If the above conversation represents reality, I say; GOOD. Get ****ed, have the renter paradise collapse, go back to high-sec and run those new dynamic effective quality agents. Leaving room for one, just one more corp of new but dedicated and resourceful players the chance of living in a backwaters system, gradually building their skill, ISK and connections as they climb up the foodchain...
It is quite frankly worth more than 10 carebear corps renting space from big alliance.
It is... What EVE is supposed to be.

LOL stopped reading after this. You really think CCP can stop the bots
That first sentence was a joke meant to entice people to keep reading my real argument... However yes... I believe CCP will be able to significantly curb Joe Six-Bot.
The RMT guys are however going to have to work for their money.

Originally by: Killin Kittens BTW.. no botting here... I ran sanctums to buy my PVP equipment.
It was possible to make billions in pre-Dominion nul-sec even if it wasn't the best true-sec, though I can understand many of the posters in this thread never got to experience that.

For some players, claiming space is the only motivation they need to live there. Deal with it.
If 'claiming space' is (the only) motivation, then by definition they are interested in the space.

Originally by: Skaarl as i have stated before in this thread: ccp greyscale obviously does not play eve, if he does hes in a high sec ratting corp. he has no clue how 0.0 functions, nor does he show any indication for having the aptitude or the desire to learn. he had a discussion with his barbie doll in his cubicle one day and they decided this was a good idea.
if you disagree with him join us on SISI on march 31st at 20:00 utc for a mass protest of these changes.
Whine more renter-boy, your QQ tears are delicious.
Also, having actually lived multiple times in subsistent parts of 0.0 with no alliance block support instead of doing the rent-a-sanctum thing you only seem to know... I have to say this change is the best thing to happen to 0.0 this year, and the predictions Greyscale has made seem spot on.
Edit: And wow, people actually posting QQ screenshots... This thread delivers.

Originally by: Skaarl the things he predicts in no way will happen. what are his assumptions? that a) people will turn on friends for better ratting space. b) small alliance will challenge people like RA, SOLAR, MM, RZR, -A- or Atlas for ratting space? and have a chance at winning? he is way off base, his assumptions are faulty and you can troll all you want, the only thing this does is go "hey all you guys who moved to null with the release of dominion? go **** yourself and the billions you have spent. we need to make room for "new" alliances to move into your space so you need to go elsewhere! if we dont leave? im sure they will come up with some new way to make "room" for new alliances to make space, forgetting of course that there is limited null sec space and its already occupied.
a) You are delusional if you think those alliances all BFF. Some are, however if you had actually lived real 0.0 life for a long enough time you'd know there is friendship, and then there's friendship. Only the latter, a very rare thing, actually survives once incentive is gone.
b) If you think that lineup of alliances are going to be challenged for ratting-space by small alliances, then you just don't understand the dynamics involved. Arguing along the lines that e.g. that those alliances won't abandon that sub-par ratting space would indicate you actually understood the mechanics we are suggesting will be in effect.

Originally by: Skaarl a) not going to comment as its a matter of opinion more than fact, mine is that we wouldnt attack friends over better ratting space.
The plebs can feel it in the air that it is coming despite the best of promises to always BFF, it is why even those sitting on good space are going QQ.
When even alliances have difficulties internally dividing up space...
Originally by: Skaarl b) thank you for proving my point. these are not my assumptions. read the dev blog. these are ccp greyscales assumptions and the foundtaion of his whole argument. his theory is that alliances who moved into crap space post dominion are setting up shop, so to encourage them to contest for more valuable ratting space they are nerfing the current space. i like how even while trolling me you manage to prove my point. noone is going to attack the previously mentioned alliances to get their good true sec ratting space. this will then in turn not open up the "bad" space for high sec alliances who want to move in. its just not going to happen.
Thanks for confirming you don't get it. Please continue raging, it warms my heart.

Originally by: Mistress Frome A better question is how you plan on challenging anyone if the only thing your recruits care about is making money.
[moron]It is not a hard concept you know. No money means no PvP ships to have fun it. What part of this equation goes over your tiny brain?[/maroon]
There is a breed of internet spaceship pilots you have probably never met before, or if you have you never understood what they represented.

I know what you mean, I had a great vantage point to watch Catch and Tenerefis burn while you guys bailed out with your tails between your legs.
Yeah. I relished every moment of it, from the start when your alliance lost dozens of baby-supers and the tears until the very end when **** finally was gotten in order.
(And unlike you I'm not talking in an ironic sense, I actually _DO_ like the chaos and destruction even when I am in the middle of it)

Originally by: Xel Ra Wow, Rakshasa, you're so evolved. What real life acumen you bring to the game. Your a regular footsoldier of Mars, and the earth quakes in the wake of your pixels. I'm glad you've found some "chaos and destruction" to be inspired about and feel powerful. It's just a little bit funny, though, that it's in front of a computer screen. Still, nice melodrama. I give it two thumbs up.
Better than crying over pixels.

Originally by: James Razor And i am talking of a couple of dozens of players here, not just 2 or 3.
So... we're talking between 0,003% and 0,01% of the player-base was consulted by you?
That's far from the 3% that care according to Admiral Goberius.

Originally by: Mrs Pants I am no political genius, in fact I am no genius of any kind but I can see that these proposed changes are going to hit the small fry hard and leave the big boys totally un touched. This happens in life all the time. We immerse ourselves in virtual realities like eve to get away from it, not to see more of it. I propose a new plan to change 0.0 sec. Leave it alone. It is constantly changing just nicely as it is.
The big boys untouched?... Then why are they so up in arms whining like the world is ending?
No, even the big boys are going to feel this hard as their BFF network gets untangled by the need to allocate a now scares resource.

Originally by: Ashaai Despite Greyscale indicating he would open a dialogue with us following the response to his blog, he has completely failed to do so. His follow-up posts were both days ago and completely nonresponsive to the issues raised by players in this thread. Nevertheless, the change still appears in the patch notes for Incursion 1.4 in what I can only assume is a cruel joke being played on us by the devs.
You're getting dismissed cause this thread is nothing but a big QQ with a lot of splerg and rage, not actual reasonable discussion.
Greyscale has already gotten positive feedback from (at least parts) of the CSM and SHC discussion is much in favor.

Originally by: bp920091 If you have other views, please express them and EXPLAIN them, providing general knowledge or cited sources, rather than just dismissing findings that you may not disagree with for seemingly no reason.
If you'd actually have paid attention, you'd have known that ISK per capita has been increasing at around 2-3% PER MONTH the past year, so that would make it between 30-40% annually which is pretty much at the hyperinflation level you mentioned.
And your economics doctorates (the three dirty socks you talk to since you got no friends) can go live in a place with that kind of high inflation, I'm sure it's a paradise of theoretical economics.

Originally by: Kogh Ayon Nobody will pay rent+sov.cost for a 'hub-only' system.
If u want people to rent, people will withdraw, if you want to keep these systems on yourself, u will losing money.Bring a super-cap fleet to down providence for fun? kk u're welcome since hold a system there only need a level-3 pirate-detection which is not really hard.
And in the downtime they'll be using those moms to belt-rat in provi, so all this talk of this change giving the little guy a chance at 0.0 is lol.

Originally by: Tiara Xiuhcoatl If your going to screw ppl around without warning and be pretty imature and unprofesional fine, but for f u c k sakes, at least do it in a half way balanced and fair way. 0.0 is supposed ot be more profitable than highsec, being the risks of living there, now you force out large numbers of the 0.0 population.
Adapt or die?
That has always been the way of EVE.
Originally by: Tiara Xiuhcoatl Just give us real answers, give us soemthing to show its not to blaintely screw over every small alliance that doesnt have the good fortune of being a main part for a major power block.
If you're renting, then this does screw you over. If you're a small alliance that isn't renting, then this is good for you as all those renters will be heading to high-sec.
Grow a spine, play eve like every other small 0.0 alliance did before Dominion.

The tears of broken promises are so lol-worthy. Reminds me of the thousands of Saudi princes that consider their monthly dues a birthright.
CCP never made a promise the game never would change, and in fact the one thing we CAN be sure of is that anything may change. There was a vision of Dominion, however when the devblog listed the costs of various system upgrades a loud whine threadnoughted the excessive costs.
A year later it turns out the nerfed system upkeep costs weren't a big enough ISK sink, and thus we see the change to anom distribution. You guys complain that CCP doesn't listen, yet we are here today BECAUSE CCP were stupid enough to listen and lower the costs.

Originally by: Makumba Aki Still no reply from CCP?
My perception is that many corps are leaving alliances and join alliances with better space, break apart or are leaving 0.0 for WH or high.
Let us look at some NPC kill numbers:
You're using NPC kill numbers to judge a patch aiming at reducing NPC kill numbers and increasing conflict? Did you completely miss the point of the change?
http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind#kills24 http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Pure_Blind/2011-04-01#kills24
Four week ago and there were FEWER PvP kill than this friday, so what does that tell us by the way of anecdotal evidence? That the patch is working as intended.
