Its good to see that Hilmar wrote this humble pie blog. However, for me it has come too late.
Since Incarna I have already detached myself from the pointless grind that Eve has become. How many times have you killed Zor, over and over, how long can one stare at a rock, how many times have you killed someone, or got killed while trying?
For what purpose? More isk? A silly killmail? A stupid monocle?
When you grind a bit you can earn billions, what else is next? More Isk? To do what? Get 16 hurricanes?
Fly a bigger ship? Want a Titan? It will blow up eventually, well back to grinding again then.
What are you saying? Did your wife ran off because you where living in the basement for 5 months because
you want to replace the lost pixels? Ah what the hell it is only 5 month of your life you just lost, back to some more grinding.
Rinse repeat.
Kill some more, die some more, conquer systems which change hands again a month later. Good luck.
New and interesting expansions would have kept myself and my friends attached.
What made Eve interesting for me where the people i met in this game, but they all left the building for some time now,
due to lack of new content. With interesting new content, new crazy ships, more things to do other than signing up with
the blob alliances, i probably would have kept playing.
What CCP can never fix is the fact that the 'endgame' of Eve is pretty much pointless.
The endgame is controlled by maybe 20-30 peeps that play 24/7, they are all tangled up in crazy politics, lurking in chatboxes and channels all day to play the grinding puppets. You either sign up with the blobbing barrel of monkeys and become a puppet, or spin your ship out of boredom, log on less and less, and see your buddies leave one at the time.
This will not be fixed by any supercap nerf, hybrid balancing, shiney icons, or another overhaul of nullsec.
This mea culpa from Hilmar is nothing more then an attempt to keep everybody in to squeeze the lemon, till their
next games comes out. This lemon has dried up. Cheers and good luck. |
