Mkay I’ll sum up my thoughts to this as breifley as I can…
- To the OP: commiserations man :(
- To those saying Dreads are PvP ships only… wrong – they suck at PvP, they are designed to do one job, and one job only - Kill POS’s. What are POS? they sure as hell aren’t players are they? Gee, do you think they might be classed as environment? Ie: PvE? Uhh….
- So a “carebear” works his ass off for over 5 months and PERSONLEY affords a 2.5-3 billion isk ship, and he wants to run missions in it… So *****ing what? Does that harm me? No. Does that harm Eve? No. does that harm anyone? No. wtf do you care? Does it have something to do with people that choose the route of piracy and 0.0 looking down there noses with contempt at all the empire huggers while stroking there e-peens and attempting to mask the fact that they think they are so much better by spouting off any argument that fits there POV?
- To those saying capital ships in missions violates Risk Vs. Reward:
there are more ways than I can count to make an absolutely crapload of isk in Eve without Any risk whatsoever, hell I could name several that you can do without Undocking!
- More on Risk Vs. Reward:
It’s a capital ship, he cant go into highsec, therefore any determined group of Pirates in a few battleships could kill him easy, that’s risk.
- To those saying Dreads should be / were designed to be the sole provision of 0.0 alliances:
O RLY? That’s funny, I seem to remember something about Eve being a sandbox? No? mmm… maybe I was mistaken, you know if a single player is dedicated enough to grind away in empire / lowsec to get a 2.5-3b isk ship, imho he should be allowed to do whatever the *snip* he wants with it.
- Dreads are overpowed for lvl 4 missions and enable the runner to make too much isk
Really? And a T2’d and Faction fitted Raven isn’t overpowered and can’t complete the mission pretty much just as fast?
If the dude waited over 5 months and spent that many billions on it, then meh, he’s earned the right to omgwtfpwn missions as far as I care. He is not invulnerable, and one day he will lose it, in the meantime he can use those missions to save for his replacement.
- Capships were never intended to run missions or complexes:
Ok fair enough, but a few things Should have happened…
1. ccp should have fixed that way WAY sooner, before people started doing it.
2. ccp should have noticed that capships where being used by empire dwellers, and taken there sandbox philosophy to heart.
Failing that, then…
3. given us all fair and clear warning WAY ahead of time that this was going to happen, yeah ok lots of people did know, well I didn’t, and I’m sure many many others didn’t either, the problem isn’t that a “bug” is being fixed, its that this fix affects a load of people who worked really dam hard for there ship, and then find that the content they wanted it for is now inaccessible, considering were talking 5+ months of skilling and around 2.7 billion isk, that’s a Hell of a Nurf – With No Prior Warning Or Possibility Of Discussion. THAT is what worry’s me, the fact that something that someone could have put such a huge amount of time into, so that they can do what they want to do in this supposed “sandbox” can be shot down so easily when really, in the wider scheme of things it does no harm at all.
Ok now just for the record
- I do not own a dread.
- I do not own a carrier
- I do not run missions… Ever.
- I rarely run plexes and when I do, a BS will do just fine.
- My Alt IS skilling for a Carrier, but when I get it, even without this patch, it wouldent have gone anywhere near a plex, or within 500 LY of any dam missions, it’ll be used “as intended™”, but I really don’t care if others want to use them for PvE, it does no harm, and I think everyone who’s responded with childish “go back to WoW” crap needs to cut the arrogance, wake up, and smell what there shoveling.
