Well my accounts are already cancelled (one of those legitimate times they are; am just waiting for them to run out at this stage.) - not due to this particular thread - but it's symptomatic of the problems..
If there are CCP players still active in 0.0; I'm convinced they're all ultra-rich characters who don't have to rely on grinding and the like to actually live, which a good chunk of 0.0 players do (even if not all will admit it).
We've had a minor(ish) nerf of 0.0 and now a buff to mission runners. The risk vs reward is utterly broken. Even farming sanctums/havens in top-end systems will only go so far and with the reduced drops from faction spawns - you're lucky to even get that odd faction point, etc to buff your income. Hell, you're lucky to get faction ammo half the time.
I got two housemates playing the game and brought them into 0.0 after a period in high-sec and they ended up grinding more out of lvl 4's than they could make in a -0.7 truesec. Sure you can get lucky and get the odd expensive widget to sell - but most of the time you're grinding sanctums for 30m/hr bounty with using 2 accts
And in the unlikely event that positive suggestions are being listened to;
get rid of local in 0.0; buff the hell of out it. Make belt running several times as profitable (much increased faction spawns based on truesec, truesec based multiplier on rat bounty, more and better ores for the bears, etc). Risk vs reward. Removing local makes the risk more like WH risk - buff the reward appropriately. Belt running is arguably the most dangerous form of 0.0 money making.
But if you do - 0.1au scanner available from station menu - needing a scout to undock could get old fast :>
oh + double the number of 0.0 regions and make stations destroyable. 0.0 is over-populated.
Maybe the 0.0 patch will bring me back.. I more suspect it will miss the point completely in some fashion. Maybe the low-sec patch instead, if that ever happens. More likely t3 frigs - because they know shiny brings account re-activations..
edit: combined total of 10 yrs subscription time between 2 accts; wish I could say I'll miss the game, but it just bores me to log in anymore :< gl folks
