Come on CCP! You can't just drop a bomb shell like:


...and then go weeks without giving any details.

They need to wait for the hype to build up so we can be properly disappointed.

i thought you were quitting? why do you care?

Show me where I said that I was quitting.... Hint. You won't find it.


I've just speculated possibilities based on what exactly will be changing.

For example, if belts that take several toon hours to mine out (that some call tedious) are replaced with rare exploration sites that a single toon can mine out quickly... well, then in that case, I won't need 4 accounts to fly around not finding any of these exploration sites.


If you can't see the difference, then your eye sight is pretty poor.

There is this thing. It's called patience.

Why does the world insist on "everything and all of it right now for ME dammit!" about every single little thing ?

I love Living in The Future, but sometimes the behaviors it has brought on are just supremely ridiculous.

show you where? you made a whole goddamn thread.

and it got locked.

Turning off auto-renewal on my 4 accounts is NOT the same as saying I'm quitting.

If you think it is the same thing, then you are probably too stupid to make it worth my time trying to explain the difference.

change them to one month subs, then.

if your account doesn't renew it's subscription, you can't play, hence you've quit.

Shouldn't you be busy coding or something?

You would have a point if
1) there were not a way to restart auto renewal, or a way to extend a subscription without auto renewal.
2) If time did not exist, and the future was in the past.
3) If thinking about something, or even preparing for it in case you decide to, was the same as having done it.

Since these are not true, you have no point.

I have 4 accounts, because I enjoy doing things, like mining out high sec asteroid belts, that take multiple toon hours to do, that others find tedious. If the rebalance, and hinted at removal of tediousness, removes the need for me to have 4 accounts, then it is prudent to not have all 4 auto resubbed just before the change.


But, as I said, if you can't see the difference between "stopping 3-month auto renewal on 4 accounts" and "quitting", then you are unlikely to be able to understand the explanation of the differences.

We're two months out. In less than a month, I have to make decisions about the subscriptions on my 4 accounts. In game friends of mine are already asking me about my plans for the game post Odyssey, which I can't begin to give them, not knowing what Odyssey will bring.


In a game where it takes many years to develop a character, and some skills take up to 2 months to train, it would be nice to know some details of what changes are proposed for 2 months from now.

i'm honestly not sure how to respond to this level of stupidity.

You could start by admitting that turning off auto-renewal of 4 accounts is not the same thing as quitting....

Or, do you consider buying a pack of condoms to be the exact same thing as having had sex.

Show me where I said that I was quitting.... Hint. You won't find it.

But change (any change) is good for the game, and you should simply adapt to that change or go away.

Right?

You asking me that?

If so, the answer is NO! I've been very much against change. As I've said many times, I pretty much like EVE as it is right now.

I'd be MUCH happier seeing NOTHING change, then I'd be if most of the ideas presented on these forums were instituted.


Sure, there are some changes I'd like to see. For example, I think the current war dec system, where if I get war decced, I just don't bother logging in, is in general, not only lame, but pretty bad for the game. But, I'd be happier that the system not be messed with then, say... remove NPC corps that allow me to escape the unwanted war dec.

I'd love to see the addition of a way to uncloak an AFK cloaky. However, NOT if that change was accompanied by an even more radical, removal of local as an intelligence tool.
