To me the issue has a few simple answers, so consider:
1) CCP Nerfed the ubber weapons
2) CCP greatly reduced the chance of getting one of these Nerf Ubber Weapons
3) CCP seems to have some aversion to pirate drop BP's that may even include the ability to make these weapons.
4) CCP has left many parts of the advertised game out.
5) CCP has placed ridiculus burdens on killing another player in anything but 0.0 space (A +rated player still loses def rating from killing a player pirate with anything but a -5.0 or worse rating. What the heck is that about?)
I can only draw the following conclusions:
A) CCP is overly sensitive to the carebear complaining. This oversensititvy may actually bring the game to an early demise. What player wants to train a character and spend endless hours online only to find out that *poof* today we patched. After the patch, your previous 6 weeks are useless. HAHAHAHA. To make it fair that guy that trained and cried for 6 weeks now will rule. Tough luck. This is what we call fair.
B) Game Content - or lack thereof - is in my opnion quickly pulling this game down the tubes. How many weeks do you think I want to spend pulling in the exact same stuff? Congratulations at week 8 Rolled Hull upgrades finally showed up. How long do you think we will pay our money on a promise?
C) Time required - the current amount of time required to be online to set that fancy battleship up for mining (as thats about all its good for at the moment) is like a chain and ball, being drug by people cancelling subscriptions. You mean I can mine for weeks and weeks on omber, buy the same junk, sale the same junk for less (yes, if theres not variety, is it such a suprise that the 3 good guns, or shields, or whatever, are being sold for less and less each day? Where I am from we call that market saturation.)
D) CCP seems content to veer offcourse from the beta. In the beta it was promising (millions of bugs aside) you could explore, and hey you could find a bistot field. Stake your claim and mine it for a week, then loadup and go buy stuff. Now, you find a Bistot field, adn I hear the rocks will reform possibly 4 WEEKS LATER! I mean wtf is that all about? Now you want to send us all back for the Omber? GEE thats fun, can I sign up for more months?
E) Prohibitive Costs - By the nerfing, and carebear sheltering, CCP has started to put such a penalty on losing nice modules and ships - is it any wonder that people are losing interest? I mean make it so a small group can replace lost assets after a reasonable time, and they can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Right now, many of them just say "screw it, it will take weeks to make that up."
F) Exploration - Not Required - Spodiumn. Ever heard of that? If you didnt play in the beta, or in the first week here, its just a spot on a spreadsheet for you.
Well, I could go on but the problem is G) In space, only carebears can be heard when they scream for help. I've had a petition in for days and days. No answer, no help. Hrmm thanks.
