Could you describe the nature of the threat you perceive? Because I'm having trouble imagining it.

Could you describe the nature of the threat you perceive? Because I'm having trouble imagining it. In general just increased polarization between nul/low and high, pvp vs pve. It's gone from acceptance and occasional poking fun at to blatant hostility and hatred. Like a poster before said, the forum is not by any means the majority of Eve opinion. It's a vocal minority spewing hate. I'm concerned that the trend of hate spewing will continue to spread and that vocal minority becomes a vocal majority after a year or two. Hell maybe it'll never happen and I'm worried for nothing. I hope it doesn't. I really do.
Actually, it doesn't seem as bad to me as it's been in the past. These things definitely go in waves.
But then I don't read GD. Ever. As a rule. But here and in Ships and Mods everyone seems to be getting along, possibly better than usual and definitely better than a few years ago. |

I'm concerned about things like moving the majority of missions to lowsec, removing most ores from highsec save for worthless kinds, removing ice belts, forcing people out of NPC corps at certain times or limiting what they could do IN an NPC corp, etc.
THOSE are my concerns. Not eliminating highsec, but lobbying for its nerfing.
I think you're overblowing things. I haven't seen or heard any rumblings about L4s changing for better or for worse. High sec already has the theoretical worst ores, though low is actually worse off. Ice belts already saw their change years ago. And NPC corps are already silly things with restrictions on them.
High second life is alive and well and appeals to a major segment of the paying populace of Eve. I can't see that changing even if it were made somewhat less appealing. |
