Perhaps a voice of reason?


As we've seen from 113 pages of replies, the player base that lives in 0.0 does not like these changes. Perhaps it is time to be the company we 'hope you are' and consider changing this 'feature' to something a tad more reasonable.

Consider the following:


Instead of removing sanctums and whatever else people run in ratting. (no I don't rat for isk sorry) Consider giving it a slider of spawning.
For every .10 of sec the system has, or portion therefor of the system will spawn 1 extra sanctums/hubs/whatever people really want.

So lets take 3 systems.

-0.04 system ABC, -0.51 system STU and -1.00 system XYZ

the -0.04 system with full upgrades would spawn 20 sites, with the 'change' they would only spawn 1 sanctums.
the -0.51 system STU with full upgrades would spawn 20 sites, with the 'change' they would only spawn 5 sanctums.
the -1.00 system XYZ with full upgrades would spawn 20 sites, with the 'change' they would spawn a tremendous 10 sanctums.


Now with this change that seems to be required every system in the pile is infact changed and of course the numbers can be tweaked to whatever is required. However it would not turn 75% of 0.0 into practically uselessness which is why tempers are flaring, people are angry and this thread is getting so long.

After I thought 50 pages CCP would at least give some feedback and say "well maybe this wasn't exactly the desired result"
After I thought 100 pages CCP would say "whoa there, we're seriously looking at this."
After I thought 200 pages CCP would say "Holy crap, get Tom, **** and Harry on the line they need to hotfix patch this BACK to what it was before we changed this, obviously the players as a majority don't like this change."

Please consider at least something like this, I've seen entire alliances have their space become useless by this change and I'm one of those people that has spent literally less then 8 hours ratting in the past 3 YEARS.

Just a thought, hopefully it helps CCP.

Remember, the player base applauded you for reversing your decisions to the motherships. Please consider that with this thread as the responses are about as similar in quantity at this point.


EDIT:

Also consider this. Why would I, as a player, run sites in 0.0 if I could run the same crappy sites in -0.01 to -0.75 in level 1 to level 3 missions and then have an agent in EVE in empire all nice and safe that would spawn me missions that are the equivalent of the best 0.0 has to offer?

It only takes a single alt for practically unlimited and uninterrupted income.
Or we could say that's the way it should be and teamwork in 0.0 is practically dead.
Of course we'll have people say "Zomg, CCP only wants us to buy MOAR accounts zomg, emo, rage!1!!11!!eleven!!

Again something to consider.
