Who Am I? Tom Gerard, Former Forum Troll; I was one of the loudest, most abrasive, and abusive commentators throughout the whole "monocle gate" incident. I am now a very happy capsuleer who feels compelled to recognize the changes that have been made to New Eden.
Why am I thanking CCP?
-- This is yet another FREE expansion to a game I love.
-- This expansion is about SHIPS IN SPACE! =)
-- This expansion has ZERO "pay to win" flavoring to it.
-- This expansion adds CONTENT to the game! =)
-- This expansion clearly demonstrates the developers have a passion for the game.
I'd like to say it:
CCP you made massive changes since the release of Incarna, and made BIG PROMISES, and for several expansions now have delivered and exceeded my expectations. If I could complain about anything it would be that I want "MORE" of the good stuff you've been releasing.

If someone was to tell me that I would be agreeing with Tom Gerard on the Eve forums, I would have told them to 'shut the hell up'
I tip my internet space hat to you Mr Gerard, well played sir!

1) WoW also has FREE "expansions" to the game that add dungeons and new items to the game from time to time, including bug fixes and other such stuff. EVE's expansions have lately been just major patches. Well needed ones yes, but not expansions.
2) There will never be pay to win in this game even if they added it. Superior numbers always beat superior weaponry. And Eve's all about bringing bigger gangs with you.
3) No it doesn't. Tyrannis added content to the game, this just adds a few ships and bug fixes and balances, just like any other larger patch usually does.
4) So much passion that they work on an arcade space-flight-sim on their free time that has almost nothing to do with EVE but the graphics? So much passion that they can't be arsed to think of proper expansions to the game?
S***w you and the horse you rode in on. |

Sointu,
Your comparison to WoW is interesting, I too play that game and enjoy it.
The difference between the two is single iteration content vs persistent content. Basically in WoW I run content once for story and ntimes for gear. After the content is consumed I need more and WoW delivers. In EVE content is persistent there is no diminishing returns on piloting a rifter. In fact I flew and lost the same rifter hundreds of times in RvB.
Due to the persistence of content CCP is slower to release as content can be enjoyed indefinitely and can negatively affect existing content if poorly implemented (ref: incarna).
The rest is just "like you opinion... man" One of the oldest mission players in EVE designed a chart that explains stat priority in regards to mission running, compared Alpha, DPS, Ship Speed and Sig Radius and scores them. http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m24dbrfuWn1r86ax8o1_1280.jpg |

Funny, I would say that anyone who thinks Rubicon adds content doesn't understand what content actually is. "Ooh, couple of ships and few deployable items, CONTEEENT!" I really hope they deliver some actual content in the next expansions after this one like they promise or they'll be making pretty big fools out of themselves. |

- Most other MMO's require you to pay extra for an expansion on top of the 15$/month so you could consider the expansions for eve to be free
- Meh DUST
- Sure bro, buy some plex, sell them on the market, officer fit your "insert ship here" and come at me bro. Plex is not pay to win, it makes it a little easier to acquire certain items to ease fittings, but if you don't know how to fit it nor fly nor know what you can engage with it, you'll lose regardless of the amount of $$ you spent to put the ship together.
- Content is indeed made by players and CCP merely provides tools for the players to use/abuse to make the content. So even though it looks like CCP only adds minor/insignificant tools, they still bring new content because there will be players using/abusing those tools.

I wouldn't expect a NPC alt to understand what content in EVE is.
Dungeons =/= content. Shiny yet useless ships =/= content. NPCs =/= content.
Entirely new way to disrupt someone's moon mining operation = content. Fighting over highsec POCOs = content. Warp speed changes = complete overhaul of very basic mechanics of combat = content. Ship rebalance = much bigger choice of viable ships and fleetcomps = content. |

this will be remembered as the "warp speed expansion". i'm surprised as to how so few see the implications and applications of faster warp in and warp out.
its not just about fast points, but also fast ganks, and harassing doctrines with ABCs... etc, etc.
i'm more interested on the effect this will have on blobwarfare over the effect it will have on small gangs and interceptors. |

It's sad that the most exiting thing coming in this 'patch' is going to be the warp speed acceleration changes.
When you say 'most of us' are happy with the complete lack of content in this coming expansion, I presume you meant 'I'. Because you are not most of us. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

why is it when Tom isn't trolling I still feel like I'm being had reading his post?

On a serious note, I agree totally. I know others who are all like "this isn't an expansion". Well, I just think their expectations are too high or they mistake their own boredom for bad EVE expansions. I'm all ready putting thought into how I'm going to use some of the things Rubicon will have.

I've got the skills for PI and the income even with it mostly passive is so lackluster I stopped bothering. I've got the skills and the friends to take down pocos/poses or war over it. I'd still not bother. Who the hell cares? |

Speak for yourself buddy. Looks like a great many of us call bull. I've loved every expansion pre-Odyssey. Odyssey was a steaming pile of ****, and this looks like it's going to be the same. Fact is CCP are now wasting our money and most of the development time on Dust, WoD, or Valkyrie. |

Change is not content. Its change. Its like saying changing ships from grey to black is an expansion. Making the game better is opinion. In my and many others opinion the game has gotten progressively worse since around incarna. We used to have fun and now we don't. We didn't change, the game did.
Most of us stick around because weve dedicated time and cash building resources and characters not because we're pleased. And nothing META is changing. Local chat will still prevent anyone that chooses not to die from dying. Ive been in plenty of fights and wars and I haven't died in 3 years or so. I did appreciate wh pvp but the logistics of wormholes make it a pita playing with one character and hence I likely wont be dying for another 3 years if ever again. |

I think there a big misconception for the people that think CCP isn't adding content. What they are doing in the last couple of patches is adding things that greatly increases the players' ability to add content themselves, which what makes EVE, in my humble opinion (not really I am really smug, but say humble to pretend I am a nice guy), a very unique game.
-For instance a small change like tower sma dropping a wreck when it is destroyed seems like a very quick fix. But that will change the whole dynamic of wormhole evictions and will make them much more viable. Now the fat wormhole pinatas are worth the 2 days time they need to be destroyed.
-The ****** modules some of you are talking about like the local cyno jammer will make small gangs and fleets much viable adding a whole lot of content for small to medium corps.
- The moon siphoning module will make small gangs actually hurt all mighty big alliances now, necessitating the formation of local resistance forces so you are efficient at protecting your moon resources.
And many more examples
In EVE content isn't jammed down your throat, fu** being a shitt* panda, in EVE they give you the tools and you create the content. |

No they are't giving you the ability to add content either. They've tightened highsec security to the point where killing someone is somewhere between impossible, a waste of isk, a day long campfest or completely consensual.
Theyre changing numbers around on ships and labeling it content. Theyre creating a method for taxing hisec PI that isn't worth doing let alone taxing or fighting a war over. Theyre adding some warp changes that still become nullified by local chat.
Siphoning moongoo? We gonna blled goonswarm down are we? LOL.

Comparing wow to eve,
In eve you change a single ship and the whole game changes and it provides player driven content for months on its own with that simple change, nvm the other changes..
In wow you add 5+ dungeons and a bunch of raids in 1 month and people are still bored and ask for more content..
quality > quantity..
Just because you won't use the content provided doesn't make it less of a content.. or something..
