And this is why noob corp should not be allowed to post here.

CCP should make this forum hidden for NPC corp members (see Corp discussion for hints as to why this is a very tangible suggestion).

Just remember everyone, this person wants CCP to listen to them, and change the game accordingly.

Apparently, into something even more boring and pointless than the average facebook game.

By the way, according to CCP's own numbers on retention, mining is not fun. In fact, it's probably the least enjoyable thing in the game. I would not disagree with that assertion, either.

Haven't exactly been keeping up on my stats since my second kid was born a little bit ago, but doesn't concurrency drop literally every summer?

Compared to what? Nothing else is penalized, you can't even make the argument for mission runners anymore, since they decoupled standings from pos use.

It's really strange to see people try and argue that the only thing in highsec that actually has consequences for it's actions should get more, in the name of there not being any consequences for anyone else.

Actually, it's not strange, it's just hypocrisy.

yeah, mission runners have to occasionally reject two missions in a row for being anti-empire

now try and tell me there's no consequences to mission running D:

the, uh, standings loss i didn't suffer for the npcs i didn't kill because i rejected the mission immediately after looking it up on eve survival

and gained an anti-pirate mission instead

that standings loss, right

The difference being that destroyed ships can be replaced, instantly.

Different mindsets, one sees ships as disposable tools, the other sees them as valuable objects but for the most part fails to take steps to protect them.

You are "doing an EFT". That's what I call it, someone will have a better term for it.

EFT is great, it's light weight and portable and lets you theory craft and is IMO the best fitting tool around. What it can't do is tell you if your ship fit makes sense in EVE online. It can help, but it's not the whole story.

Same with EVE Offline. It can't tell you the whole story. It can't tell you that I (the owner of 4 accounts with 11 characters) have only logged in 3 of that 11 characters at all in the last 4 weeks because my alliance moved out of SOV space so I'm running high sec incursions on one screen while FoF Raven mission running on another (ie using only 2 characters at a time) instead of Quad Boxing FoF Navy Ravens in null anomalies (news flash, i like FoF missiles...and Navy Ravens....). I'm not the only one in that boat, lots of people are inactive waiting for FozzieSov.

PCU counts (and CCPs PR-ish touting of 'increasing subs' that they used to do) never told the whole story, it never tells you who is an alt and who isn't, who is on vacation and who is in school or who can't play because he wife threatened divorce unless he spends more time with her and less with his avatar that he made that looks just like her (lol).

TL;DR, the thing you are basing your opinion on doesn't mean anything.

Why do people keep repeating low numbers? Almost 37k users on at this moment. Every weekend it looks the same to me. Think you guys look at times when timbuktu is the prime timezone.

And then CCP fixed it so that 2000 people could be in Jita at once.

Just admit you misused or misunderstood the definition of exceed.

He spent a decade of his life in a video game that was apparently catering only to the kinds of players he has a psychotic disposition to hate... which is more sad.

What is the difference? Probably not a lot.

In null due to the fact of bubbles and dictors alone, I'd use something like a 3x reward multiplier.

With Lowsecks it's a bit different - their Tier system floods the market with LP, thereby devaluing it in the medium term, i.e. getting 1,300 ISK / LP at Tier 3 is the same as receiving 2,275 ISK / LP at Tier 2 due to 75% more LP being generated - not sure whther this bonus applies to every single LP source.
