All these devs "changes" is another smokescreen geared to push more players out of hi sec. Everything they listed are single issues that can be fixed on a per item basis. They are just packaged together to give substance to their newest ploy.
Why does CCP want players out of hi sec? It's a business issue. Plainly, the largest percentage of players exist outside hi sec and want more players to kill. They complain to CCP about a lack of players to kill or always killing the same players and point to hi sec. By "convincing" players to leave hi sec through nerfs and packaged illogic (the golden nullsec carrot), CCP satisfies the largest percentage need by providing them more players to kill. This leads to the largest percentage to keep paying CCP.
In my view, players are already "rewarded" for establishing themselves outside hi sec. Better ores, better isk/lp missions, better sites, can build their own POS/better industry build options and best yet, kill another player without being Concorded. Existing outside hi sec takes a lot of skill, specialization, teamwork, and dedication for a player to live each day killing other players while avoiding getting podded themselves, but none of that has anything to do with refining.
If it's so difficult for pvp players to find targets in null, then why does CCP put in the hot drop and allow afk cloaking?
Afk cloaking pretty much kills any chance whatsoever to even sniff a target, as the targets don't know if you have the ability to hot drop. Nobody is going to be dumb enough to stay on your radar to find out if you do either, so they smartly cloak /station up. If someone cannot be bothered to click on some random boxes every 30 min or so, they should be removed from the game. Obviously, they aren't playing, simply using a mechanics exploit to influence the game.
If pvp'ers really want pvp, they show up in pvp ships. Cruisers, Frigs, BC, etc. Not cloaky stealthers. Cloaky stealthers are looking for one thing, and one thing only - easy ganks. Easy ganks is bascially pvp without risk. Hard to respect that, which is why ALL my ratting ships use cloaks. If we get to the point where that gets nerfed I am definitely done with this game.
Fix the real problem CCP. Remove afk cloaking. You don't allow bot mining/ratting, why would you allow afk cloaking?
