Seriousl guys, relax.
Changes to the system are two months away now and this is the chance to voice our opinion in a reasonable manner. Nobody, let alone CCP, is going to sift through yet another giant threadnought to maybe find one or two suggestions burried in the usual epeen drivel.
According to last year's fanfest presentation, exploration is people's favorit PVE activity and it's damn well time CCP is taking a proper look at it. If they need further encouragement, they should probably keep an eye on the exploration channel to see first hand why the year-long veterans are rather feeding their wallet in highsec than scanning in low or null.
It's the same as in null. Give people an easy way to get fat, rich and lazy with simplistic generic ISK printing templates and players will drain every last cent out of the system.
As much as I hate the carebear ISKwhoring in highsec, what this exploration system needs is proper content in scope of the recently announced "conflict drivers". Give people a reason to leave highsec rather than forcing them to play one way or the other. If there's an incentive people will do it, simple as that.
Also, I believe exploration desperately lacks diversity. Why are there no sites to make Battleship exploration feasible? Why does it always have to be:
1. Undock T3/Gila/Ishtar
2. Warp to site
3. Kill x brainless rats. Alternatively press one button to activate a module on a can.
4. ???????
5. Profit.
Aren't we supposed to explore and interact with the "unkown"? Why can't we operate codebreakers/analyzers ourselves with skills to go with it? Have player skill (as in skill at recognizing and solving problems) dictate success rather than sheer SP number.
Yes it may end up being more work and yes things like that may interfere with your overglorified isk/hour ratio. But quite frankly if CCP actually comes up with engaging content rather than the usual old generic template than I'm not really sorry for your loss. To whom it may concern.
CCP has proven in the past that they can come up with PVE content that actually is worthwhile and a step up from the endless tedium that are lvl4s, mining, ratting and the likes. See Incursions or WH-Space. |
