What I have been saying for years.
CCP plans on trashing its subscription base on the gamble that they will retain enough of its existing base and at the same time attract every sociopath not playing Eve already.

It will be a disaster of course, but I will enjoy watching CCP go down in flames.

PSSSSSSTTTT!

Don't reveal those CCP stakeholders secret plans for Star Citizen!

The easiest way to make sure that EVE lives and Star Citizen thrives is for a bunch of EVE players to start playing it.

Enjoy playing by yourself.

I hope you're and alt of someone who's actually played the game since beta... otherwise this opinion in the scope of your eve experience context means nothing.

Just wanted to toss this out, as someone who has played since beta. Highsec has steadily gotten safer and safer and safer. Early EVE didn't have NPC protection for players, it was added in after *gasp* whinging and complaints from people unable to defend themselves.

I would love to see more player driven content. Make all of space less cozy by penalizing blobs, getting rid of reinforcement timers, removing local from all non-empire systems, getting rid of structures automatically alerting whole groups that they're under attack. These things are completely ridiculous. EVE isn't supposed to be a game where your hand is held, you're supposed to fend for yourself. It's time we force people to play the game, instead of having the game play itself. Why should the game alert you every time an enemy enters a system, or takes a potshot against a structure you haven't actually seen in 6 months, or stop an attack because you can't be bothered to patrol? The game even does the patrolling for you by magically broadcasting that something is under attack. Oh, you were whining about the "other guys" having it too easy? My bad. Yea, I can live with hisec being more dangerous as long as the changes I just mentioned are implemented as well.

Wow.....Just wow. Either you are totally delusional about the eroding safety of high sec. or a troll. Not sure which one.
Either way, please step away from the keyboard.

All rational people accept on general principle that CCP has made high sec far more dangerous, in incremental steps, over the past few years, as they have hired more and more devs from null sec.

The attack on high sec players by CCP employees in the Live Events 3 days ago proves how much the CCP employee base hates high sec, and how delusional you are, or how extensive you lie is, take your pick.

The "past few years"? Rofl.

New Crimewatch. Eliminates can flipping, and adds safeties. Between that and the barge buffs, that's actually one of the biggest buffs to highsec safety in recent memory.

And enough is enough. Time to scale some of that back.

No. Because that makes no sense.

Oh? Please elaborate.

I think CCP's moving too slowly with Rubicon. They need to simply strip high-sec of it's safety, and convert it all to new NPC-null space.

Why?

Ever heard of sarcasm? Learn to detect it.

Because there are players that want the dependable NPC protection because an effective player-based protection for players on unstable schedules does not and will not ever exist.

As someone who has played since beta, could you please report how many players were online in prime time?

Because apparently there's a group of people who misses those 5000 online and wants EvE to lose development funds and an empty game on the brink of default again.

Barges needed to be scaled up to compensate for rising DPS numbers and all six of them needed to be usable.

Horseshit, barges and exhumers got buffed because people couldn't be arsed to actually tank them and whined about them exploding, incidentally the same people still neglect to fit a tank, and still whine when they explode. It was possible prebuff to make one unprofitable to gank prebuff, just as it is now.

the retriever wasn't capable of tanking a single catalyst in 0.5 space, prior to the first round of rebalancing.
