As mentioned in this dev blog, we are shifting the release of the industry changes back to the Crius release on July 22nd in order to ensure that we have time to incorporate all of your feedback and have extended testing on SISI. Since this change is so closely tied with the industry updates, we are also going to hold off on it for the time being. We will not change the isotope consumption in Kronos, and we will continue to discuss and evaluate our plan with the next potential release window being Crius on July 22nd.
Dear CCP Fozzie,
Ever since this was first posted on 2014.04.29 13:27 by you, I have been quietly watching this thread on different people's reactions, proposed changes and such, since it concerns me too. The general feeling I get is that most people disapprove of it and so do I.
While I agree that with POS/Industry changes, it will affect the ice market. But frankly I do not believe this is the right way to go about it, for starters, I thought EVE's market is driven by players, also when did CCP actively think of market repercussions every time they change something? When there is a change, it will inevitably affect prices of certain items, are CCP going to do something about those too? If this is your ultimate solution to power projection, well, I am sorry, but I and many many others fail to see how this is going to affect anyone but the small guy. Would you care to explain your reasoning and decision making process for such a change? Which leads me to the next point...
There have been many ideas and discussions by others that are absolutely great, while some not so great, but the thing that infuriates me the most is not so much in the change itself and the problems it does not solve and creates more because of the previous problems and mistakes you've created and then you aim to solve them by introducing more problems. So what few birds did you hit with one stone? I think many people just wants to hit you with one stone.
You see? When you come to mind all I can think of is problems... and I really would like to wish all sorts of nasty for your demise beyond the normal human imagination which I must refrain from saying.
So back on topic, your last reply was 2014.05.12 18:40, a whole 2 months ago and a bit more, what attempts have you made to communicate with the players concerned regarding their ideas and feedback? Care to further explain into your reasoning and thought process that makes this change at all reasonable sounding? With regards to local resource gathering, are you adding different racial ice to all regions? are you suggesting that different regions should standardise on their capital and POS tower use based on their local ice instead? how about certain towers are unable to even fit complex reactions?
CCP Fozzie, I am sure you are probably a great guy in person and perhaps skilled at doing what your job requires, but from my point of view, a player's point of view, you are horrible and I really dont see what you are skilled at apart from infuriating the players who frankly are also customers. So perhaps you may want to start by addressing some of the questions us players have not necessarily mine.
Kind Regards,
Bob Newton
PS: I hope my reply is within allowable specification, as I believe it is on topic and expresses my feeling towards the change and of the developer involved with as little off topic as possible. However should it not be, I will repost it on a forum where it allows for discussion, because frankly, I dont see discussion, just announcement of poorly thought out changes forced upon players. |
