Shhhh OP, nobody cares that you're taking your toys and going home.

People don't quit over minor quibbling annoyances.

Ah the classic "taking my ball and going home," false sandbox analogy.

If you are willing to accept that the best interests of the sandbox, proper, are more important than some player-defined niche; you have to dismiss the line of reasoning you just used. If CCP endeavors to make the game, as a whole, more interesting and more rewarding for it's players then they quite clearly have to step on the toes of players (like the OP) who have created their own idea of what the game should be and held onto that idea so tightly that any attempt to dislodge them is met with a hissy-fit and cries that their playstyle is being impeded.

Same ****, different patch, same answer: HTFU.

I like how your such a Fanbois Idiot that you couldn't comprehend the problem if he outlined it in black ink on white paper for you.

Your stuffz, I can haz?

in other words, only low sec should have higher tier missions than lvl 4 because somehow high sec doesnt deserve more challenging content.

Arent lvl 4 missions that land in low sec offering different rewards for the same mission than they do in high sec? why a unique mission assignment for lvl 5?

bug fix or nerf isnt the question, its the intent of the move.

so my question remains, explain why the lvl 5's have a different mechanic.

The risk should be the mission npcs , not pvp players.

But should the game be all about combat?

The fact that CCP has added the features of mining, building and so on suggests that, at one point at least, they intended the creation half of the cycle to be an important part of the game. However, at the moment it is obvious that participating in the desctructive side of eve is far more involved and varied, and worryingly it is this side that nigh on all of the recent updates are focusing on.

happy pvp'ers

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay
and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.

No, after reading your previous posts, it looks like it's about making Isk and playing for free.

I'm gald CCP did this and buffed losec and null.

its not about the stuff, its about the fun

i too think eve online has become too dependant on suicide ganking... its a silly game mechanic really.

no ship should die to a single volley imo. Pvp these days is over too quickly. lock, fire one volley at target, watch it explode, lock another target & repeat. there is no really epic dogfights anymore.

i think ALL ships (both indy and pvp) should have a major hp buff so that fights actually last more than one or two volleys

Changing the isk flow isnt what drove him and other corpmates from the game, It was the relentless destruction of the casual , friendly pleasant game that was high sec production and mining.

I read his posts, he isnt trying to speak for all high sec players, just those that have fnally given up on the hope that EVE will continue to be a home for them in the gaming world.

So the OP just figured out this isn't a theme park game and is getting out; this is six pages long. Why?

message clearly received. High sec players that are soloists or in small corps are not wanted.

As the last remaining player in my once fun and thriving corp, I too will be moving on to an mmo where production and harvesting are operational spheres that dont require subjecting yourself to gank happy pvp'ers

I have taken down the POS with its construction and research bays
I have hauled our stuff to Jita and sold it at buy prices (so no you cant have my stuff)
I will not bother to visit my PI sites again as launch taxes now exceed the market value of the goods from my humble , low efficiency high sec planets.

When my plex runs out you can add me to the growing statistic of casual players that find no game value in EVE anymore.

perhaps i should turn on my CQ option again to remind me how well dev resources were spent on creating a login lagfest, so I wont wax sentimental about rejoining the game.

To those who I have been able to assist with materials and ships, perhaps our paths will cross again in the mmo's we discussed. in the meantime, fly safe. have fun

i had avoided naming other mmo's in my post, but in response to your question, I play vanguard (all my primary characters are crafters and diplos)
It is a game for mature players that dont expect to make max level in a matter of weeks. great community as well.

had no idea this thread would run on so, thanks to those that offered thoughts, constructive or otherwise. I hope the future does bring more casual/high sec content. I hope dorfsorc finds a corp worthy of his pilot skills. I hope someone figures out a reason to do PI in high sec in a small corp. I hope i that before my plex run out in can transfer hundreds of bpc's and bpo's to an interested production person.

It has been an interesting ride, but the last 3 releases do nothing for players like me and losing friends in chat and corp has taken its toll. I hope everyone has a good holiday and look forward to the coming year. Be safe
