Seems that CCP will do anything to keep players from plexing accounts.
The change will not be used to bring in isk by taxing others. They will be used to create monoply of PI and prevent anyone in the area from having any planets. They will make way more isk by selling that PI at massive cost. This will make POS ownership nearly impossible to all but the largest corps. Then with the loss of so many POSes the economy will go crazy. Less isk for people to buy plex.
WH space, PI becomes impossible, I have seen so many "because i can" actions. Groups of poeple will have just a few ships, and will be able to destroy the customs office. whs links last 24 hours, but bring along a single core scanner, and you get an exit. While you wait, do sites. Then log out, next day, kill the station, They do it cause they can, and they know how much it sets you back. It will cost billions to set up inside whs, so PI then is worthless, unprofitable. Combined with DUST, not only will the customs office be killed, but the colony itself, can be destroyed. More lost isk, less money to buy plex. It will also cost a billion or so (depending on number of planets)to buy, build, and set up, the customs offices. only to have someone destroy them, for the fun of it. Making import impossible, and making it non-profitable.
they already changed PI massivly once. They removed so much profitablity from what it was before. They made extraction control units that take up 2600 power. It does nothing, gives nothing. Then you have to use the extraction heads, taking up more power. Now you can't set up complex chains on one planet. And you can't produce as much as before. And they want to do it again. Its gonna make a basic supply chain of this game, become to incombersome to do. The economy change is gonna upset alot. However, the loss of isk, means if people want to play, they have to pay cash.
Wh space has already lost isk, when they made the sites, harder, drop less, and produce less nano ribbons. Missions are made harder, longer, and drop less profitable items. Making less isk, you now have to pay cash to play.
Only the few that make the materials and BPCs and arrays will make anything from this change. And they are already the ones that run the game, as the few that own all the BPOs. Then, just like hulkageddon, they will start a new game, killing the customs offices, because they can make massive isk selling the items at massive over cost. This makes PI and POSes only more expensive to run. and thus, no plexing accounts.
CCP's plans on AUR were shot down by the players. That was going to give them much more cash, from players buying plex, or make plex way more expensive and more people have to by game time with cash. Now they are doing what they can, to get back to that plan. They have spent so much time programming an avatar creator, and captains quarters, rather then actually working on what the players want. And they have also spent so much time fixing all the issues they create with their changes. This is a space flight sim. Not face book, not a chat room, not a 1st/3rd person shooter. Play WOW, or halo, or join face book, if thats what you want. Otherwise, we want a space flight sim.
Its hard enough to get ahead in this game, damn near impossible when CCP keeps changing the rules. Seems that CCP greed is causing them to change the game, to make it harder to use isk to plex game time. I love this game, and its hard to see so many changes, that upset game flow. Hearing that they want to move ice to low sec, is just one more way of taking isk from us. making POSes to expensive for anyone not in a large corp alliance. And once its all large (super corp) there will be no one left to pick on. And no more, "cause i can" cause no one to pick on. |
