Hey, Low/Null Morons..
Once CCP manages to chase off all the high-sec carebears (Who, I might add, you used to be just like. You weren't born in null.) then they'll lose even more revenue than their horrible management already has.
Not to mention, you'll be forced to actually shoot each other instead of setting everything blue before it has the slightest chance of pressing F1.
Good luck recruiting when the playerbase goes down the tubes and when you can't supply yourself because you're too elitist to mine.
Jerkfaces.

honestly there will still be a high demand for PI goods, and the prices are temporarily messed up and will stabilize. Your PI goods prices are going to go through the roof because of the tax cost. The people willing to invest in a POCO still have to cover costs of actually CREATING that expensive item, and factor in coverage for their losses, which will probably be pretty much in line with your tax rate. Give it a week and watch the prices soar. PI in high sec ISN'T DEAD. |

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.
Seriously, good luck.
I think I'll give Vanguard a look.

Just one point to make.
The OP has a valid complaint, actually. Eve, since it is an MMO, does not cater to a solo player.
However, to fix this, you would need to remove the ability for groups to work together for a greater reward.
So all you're really saying, is that playing solo in an MMO is non-optimal.

Actually, the OP was making an acute point about everything wrong with EVE.
If you don't want to blob, you're not welcome here.
If you don't want to have to put up with retards on voice-comms so that you can have a huge fleet to gank your opponent, you're not welcome here.
What the OP actually stated was that people are penalized for being happy with being a small, efficient corporation. And I agree with him.
I find absolutely zero skill in the blob mentality of EVE anymore, and the rare skilled pilot eventually is pulled into the Zerg, with a select few of course excluded from this generalization.
For some of us, EVE was a place to actually test our skills in combat. There's nothing more fun than going in against a mining fleet with protection alone, taking on six ships, and STILL managing to blow up three of their ships and escape. I would imagine industrialists feel the same when they pull off something magical despite working with a "just friends" crew.
As EVE continues to be pushed on towards spaceblob, and a numbers game, it loses it's character for a lot of those players.
But that's okay, right? That some people lose the part of the game that they loved. Just ask Faction Warfare.

I am a fairly new player (around 7 months old) and I am still perfectly able to play solo. Just having some trouble finding a good first corp to have fun with. I recommend that you do some missioning or high-sec exploring. If you got the balls you can try some low-sec exploring. And if you got some more balls.... attack everything you see in low-sec or try bombing some ratters in null with a SB.
Either way... stop your bitching and learn the game because there are allot of opportunities to be made riding solo!
Coming from a semi-drunk newbie.... Peace out!

I just have to get something off my chest.
When crucible came out I was seriously considering to end my industrial career and move to low sec to spend the rest of my time blowing stuff up. And this was not because of the PI change. It was because of the forum threads other indusrialists started, whining about the changes. I don't like you. I don't want to be like you. I don't want people to think that I am like you. I feel embarassed to be an industrialist.
OK, now I just decided to HTFU and no longer care what other manufacturers/inventors/traders say on the forum. I will keep selling evil gadgets to evil people and rejoice at the carnage. And then I will sell harmless stuff to harmless people that just happened to lose their precious ships and want new ones. And then again even biggger guns. And then more mining ships.
I like Eve, no matter what you people say or do. ...THEN WHO WAS PHOON? |

Sure, when you have hundred of billions profit is rather limited (unless you can get your hand on a T2 BPO, aka the isk blueprints), but otherwise profits in hi-sec are fantastic when you actually have some trading skill. Confirming you know nothing about the T2 Manufacturing process
Expecting an SMA member to know anything about Eve other than dieing in a drake is laughable. |

When that happens, watch how quickly a thousand 10-hour heroes in a thousand Navitii show up in every belt in highsec to take advantage of the fact that Trit's hit 5 per at Jita. The free market at work!
God, I'm usually not ashamed to be an Empire mission-running carebear pubbie, but every time a thread like this goes up I can see why people raise up the black flag and start collecting tears. If EVE isn't for you, at least have the dignity to close out your account and go play Sins of a Solar Empire or something without giving the whole forums a written invitation to can haz your stuffz.
People who are planning to quit and are just clearing out inventory to PLEX out a few more months: serious question. Why bother? Your ISKies and T2 BPOs and faction-fit shiny BSs are just pixels and database entries, and you don't get a prize for canceling your sub with an empty wallet. If you're not having fun, or working towards the ability to have fun later, why are you playing? Presumably there are better things you could be doing with your time. It's a game ffs.

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 leavwiz

Chribba's put months if not years of man hours into developing tools for the community... he's done more interaction with the community than anyone else probably ever will do in this game for as long as it exists. |

Non-optimal != impossible.

The "OMG ITS ALL BLOBS!!" retort is just a weak, apologetic excuse for not even trying.

Yeah. I have seen other games become zerg or nothing and I just opted out. Ideas and stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. |

Grats CCP for finally thinning out the blob that is hi-sec players. It seems odd to me that they come whining about the possibility that now they aren't 100% safe making all the money in the universe. OMG, imagine some random element of danger injected into your precisely planned income scheme!
I love Crucible more and more every day and posts like the OP's are definitely a sign that EVE is headed in the right direction --> away from the mainstream MMO crowd and towards a pre-defined path of darkness and hostility in space. |

Forum Warriors unite, more troll anyone..
The one thing that seems to be missunderstood in general is there is NO RIGHT OR WRONG WAY to play EVE.
There is just EVE and it changes it must to survive, full stop..
The one thing i keep hearing from the so called "pro" nullsec / lowsec dwellers is they keep yelling is "no risk, no reward" well how about letting people get adjusted first then decide when the hell they are good and ready, to willingly take the loss of a ship or two, and decide who with and what for, where should that take place if not in High Sec, doubt very much EVE would last very long if it was all Low Sec and Null Sec where no one can be somewhat sure to ever finish a mission or Trade Run, also as that would be the end of trade hubs with all its new fresh ships and modules and without trade no more EVE as we know it..
Yes EVE is PVP.... but eve-pvp isnt just blobfare and yarring
Run a mission / kill some rats / do pi / trade / explore, to get enough isk for the toy of your choice, gotta start somewhere, and the faster you get enough isk, the faster you can do your thing if thats pvp, low / null sec, collecting bpo's, shiny bling mods, what ever, EVE should be about freedom of choice and not, "OHH its our way or the highway"
If it doesnt promote freedom of choice its a dead or dieing game, now believe it or not, to give someone the freedom of choice begins with rules (game mechanics) hence High / Low / Null Sec etc. Or would you prefer another common solution like say candyland servers / pvp servers.. |

Sigh, this is why CCP needs to stop this half now and half later approach when they release new features like PI. Customs offices were supposed to work this way from the beginning, but CCP put it off for years and are only just now introducing the conflict element that should have been there from day one. Nobody would have said boo about this if it had all been released together and not years apart. |
