Well, first off, this Fanfest should have been named CCP Fanfest instead of EVE Fanfest. Don't get me wrong. I like CCP, I like EVE but I need to call it as I see it!
The upcoming patch/expansion, for me, is awesome. It's a first step in putting life back into this game where it needs it the most. Nullsec. Sure, it won't do that on it's on, but hopefully in a future patch they'll take another step in this direction.
People ***** about lacking new content. Well, I was one of the guys that quit EVE when they released Incarna. I don't really want new content if it means that the rest of the broken features get forgotten. EVE needs this overhaul has someone before me in this thread said. (sorry, no quote!)
Dust .... well gentlemen, Dust may share the same universe in a very small way but it's NOT EVE! Dust works on a dying console and ONLY in a dying console. I don't own a console nor do I intend to. That's all fine, I get that CCP as a company need to diversify their product line and get new business, but it's just not the same ******* game. It shares a very very very small part of a universe (for now) and nothing else!
What I'm failing to understand since it's announcement, is how in the hell is PI income relevant enough to actually make me care about all these things. POCOs? Mercs? Having to defend my PI installations? Seriously? Even in null, PI income is at the very best lacking.
You either set it up to make some actual isk, in which case it's no longer a passive income as it requires so much attention it's just better to use that same time doing something else that makes more isk ... or you set it up a passive "10m a day thing with a occasional 1h a month haul" in which case it's not worth the ******* troubles it's presenting. Hiring mercs? Having to deal with POCOs? For a couple of hundred mil a month? Got better things to do with my time in EVE! ****, if I dedicate that time to my market alts I do more than 10x the income...
So how is PI and by association, Dust, relevant in any meaningful way? I do understand CCPs take on it. They want the money. What I don't get is why should I, as a EVE player, give a **** about it if it's just giving me crap without giving me anything back?
Will hiring dust bunnies get a return on investment other than "my oh my, you can have your PI on that planet all for yourself!"? :) |
