Manfred, Mynna is correct here.
First, the rental system isn't all that bad. I am looking to rent and insodoing I will have opportunities to do things that I, as a more or less independent entity would not be able to do otherwise. 'Back in the day' I would be forced to get in with a big alliance and suck everybody off for years in order to find myself in a position to where I could do what I wanted to do. The rental system adds a financial and contractual element that works in the stead of trust. If I screw anybody over I get reset, blown out of new eden, and lose the 50 billion ISK worth of crap I have out in my system. If my rental alliance screws me over I go straight to TMC and EN24 and let everybody know not to rent from my renter. And I'll tell you, the changes you suggest would make it utterly impossible for a little guy, and independent, like me, to have a system out in Paragon Soul. So the current system actually does offer the little guy some things that would go away in your miserable nerf world.
As for combat, the problem is not so much the game is that you won't take the meta to its conclusion. I personally dream of a world without Goons in it. The only person that can make that happen is you. But you flat out said you won't be fighting real wars, just little proxy ones that make the masses happy. You know, I am an industrialist and every time I mention invulnerable Rorquals or super tanky freighters the gankers always whine and throw risk vs. reward at me. Well, the super coalitions are being bad at Eve. You need a little less on risk vs. reward, apparently. Stop with the proxy wars and figure out how to go at the Goons at the throat.
Yes, the current meta does lead us to the blue donut. However, the blue donut is not here yet. Actually we have a situation that has never existed before in Eve's history where there is the potential for more massive battles than ever before in Eve's history. All it takes is you super coalitions deciding to fight them. I'll gladly participate in them. I'll gladly sell you ships to blow up in them. I'll have a lot of fun with this. But the problem isn't really CCP at this stage, it's you.
So we are hearing that there will be player built star gates. The sandbox will change. New futures will come to us. But let that happen when it's ready. If that weren't coming, and we were in a blue donut, then the game would be broke. However, we have some time for the biggest parties Eve has ever put together to blow the hell out of each other and actually create the blue donut (that will probably be rendered obsolete by the new constellations coming with the new stargates).
Don't fear the present. Make use of it. |
