How? The power bloks can remove anyone not aligned to them (or just don't want there) with far less effort than ever before. Power bloks no longer need to "just own" space to control it, all they need is numbers in fleet to ensure control.
It actually benefits the large groups, they aren't forced to pay for infrastructure and sov bills on systems they never use but still want to control.
Sure if the large groups don't hold sov someone can move in and plant a flag, which will remain until the large group/s nearby want you out. Large group destroys all your assets, leaving the systems unclaimed (they don't want the upkeep, just you not there), so you start over and over and over - and how many times do you start over and replace your destroyed assets before it becomes a costly, pointless, exercise - and just give up.
Am I being pessimistic? I sure bloody am because i have been around long enough to know how easily players find it to screw others over, for no other reason than "because we can".
When a new game mechanic is centered on little more than a greifing tool, you can be sure, that is exactly how it will be used.
My opinions are mine.

Lol that's some real CCP logic right there:
"EVE is designed to be harsh, it's designed to be challenging"
yet as each year passes you make it easier and easier.
TBH i find the statement that "eve is a sandbox" to be an egregious misrepresentation of reality.
Sure for a good 5-6 years pre 2010-2011 it sort of was.
But the eve of today is a bunch of stacked mechanics which encourage/enable predictability ....a far far cry from a sandbox, even within the context of "gaming"

The eve of yesterday was a bunch of stacked mechanics which encourage/enable predictability once learned.
so now that CCP are trying to change things up a little to deal with things becoming predictable you guys jump on the forums and scream the END is coming,, dig a hole, sell everything gather food,, the sky is falling..
no sorry, the sandbox is not shrinking,,, it's growing. you guys would restrict that growth if you could because it changes the way you personally play the game. if it's not fun anymore then it's time to move along. i will never understand people who play a game they don't like anymore. that's torture and shows a weakness to change.
grow a spine and stop paying for something you don't enjoy anymore. the second EVE becomes boring for me is the day i retire my pod and go play something else that i enjoy.
but i'm in no way anyway close to that so you're not getting rid of me anytime soon.tm

Its exemplary for a sandbox that it even allows that, what can u do if all players decide suddenly to never shoot eahcother anymore? There is plenty conflict drivers, and building. Ccp effort atm try to counter certain trends, but in the end issue is that the trend if enated by players, is goign to come through anyway. Restraint never works well to motivate people .
I love eve and i promote it, any player can put a link to eve in his facebook and be a recruiter for a epic game we love. Ratehr then breake it, make it! Do you think that with the time that has gone into EVE, that people now have too much to lose, to really fight? Is play denial and stomping the small groups to prevent them growing and challenging others the best way forward? How does CCP code counters to shenanigans?
They don't have too much to lose, just nothing to gain (apart from "tears") hence these contrived wars over nothing against newbie alliances and small fish. There's now a lack of substantive high end content in eve, with nothing to fight over no one will take serious risk. See the big yawn in Fountain for why relying purely on grunges and whatnot for conflict is a bad idea. |

I'm not sure we have read the same information provided by CCP thus far.
What they have proposed isn't changing anything up, it is simply making it easier and cheaper for the large coalitions to maintain control. Why bring and risk 500 supers when 500 subcaps can do the job in less time than it takes to order your Friday night pizza.
Grow a spine blah blah - You would be surprised how hard it can be to just walk away from something you have so much of your life invested in. Saying, the second eve becomes boring xxxx - Shows either, you have nothing of yourself invested in the game (in which case i feel sorry for you) or you just didn't think before you wrote.
I don't hate eve, although I am not happy with the direction certain parts of the game are taking. There are solutions other than dumbing things down and making it easier. I continue to play in the hope someone at CCP has the nuts to do what is required and force life back into nulsec. Not just initiate change with little to no actual change.
Painting your old Holden red, won't make it go faster. The same as making change that doesn't address the fundamental problems with sov, won't bring nul back to life.

Funny thing is back in 2011, the role-players in EVE met the same inspiration-crushing force that CCP has become in regards to the lore how up to then we'd have an important role within it (especially when/after Empyrean Age came out).
Since that time, all means of making a difference has died off. Character immersion is lost in favor of sov grinds and alliances trolling; IRL politics as opposed to fun immersive escape.
I miss the older days...

average 50k peaking to 60k now 40k peaking to 45k or so.
drop of say 5 to 7k players is something to panic about? i don't think so. how long you playing? not being smart, it's an honest question. curious i guess.

Ok grumpypuss I cant say i miss the good old days cuz i havent played that long. I will probably never have half of what you vets got. But there seems to be alot of content in this game all the same. Maybe you just have to try something new when things get stale.
Show us 'pups' how to really play EVE, hehe Or maybe we can show you a few new things too. Just sayin the game is better for it if your still flyin. o7

Batten down the hatches and see what the storm brings. Maybe things won't wind up where you think. As it is now, alot of ppl like me would never do sov or nullsec. Maybe that will change too, I dunno, I don't have melancholy in this so its different.
Seems there are more ccp changes to come after this, so maybe just ride it out Jen. |

Well I started playin Eve 7 yrs ago next month. I had certain things I loved to do and trained my characters many, many months to do these things well. Hell years of training involved in some activities. CCP brilliantly just handed these activities, while eliminating the skill requirements or advantages gained to "new players" on a silver platter. Throwing in idiotic things like loot spew to entertain mindless boobs who don't belong in a game like this in the first place.
Millions of un-reimbursed skill points and Billions of isk and years of research tossed in the crapper in just one of these wonderful noobifications for my main alone. Oh and years or grinding missions to get great standings to put a POS up where I wanted basically laughed at and thrown down the drain also.
At one time I had 10 accounts, still have 3 and don't really know why....just check in and skill basically. Most of my long time in-game friends have left. All my favorite activities have been noobified for the worse and are not profitable or fun or even recognizable anymore.
More bored than bitter....ALOT of really poor decisions by CCP in the last few years. You all can interpret the numbers however you like, I just see an average of around 10K less players online when I log in then I saw a few years ago....and ALOT of those players had multiple paying accounts. I leave it to all the forum experts to figure out how many subs have been lost....
In fact my real feeling is one of sadness. Sad to see a once great game dumbed down and ruined by misguided clowns who really don't play it much, if at all.
as for trying something new....like what??? Attack the Drifters...you know Concord on Steroids armed ships? Sounds like great fun...for a mentally challenged child I guess. I'll just keep skilling an account or two, hoping for a miracle and a HUGE change in CCP's management and direction.
Penalizing your long term customers in a misguided attempt to attract new players is not a growth business plan, it's a recipe to destroy your business.

Sounds to me like the only thing that you've "lost" is that other people don't have to do "years of grinding" like you did. You're oddly short on specifics about how you have been "penalized" and what these "millions of unreimbursed skillpoints" you lost are.
Here's a tip: the fact that you've gotten older and don't have as much time or mental energy to play MMOs isn't CCP's fault, nor is it a problem with EVE.

I understand what you are saying. Change isn't always good for everyone, sometimes people aren't listening either.
But unless you PvE (not really my thing) then content is created by people. And if you have alot of people, that is logically alot of content.
If I can't find content I help make some. Like I am doing right now, moving some ships that I promised to donate to SuicideGanking4Good to help raise some RL money for the people in Nepal. We get to shoot some of those "mindless boobs" and everyone should feel good that it is helping people who really need it.
I didn't come to your thread to criticize. I came to let you know that there are people who do care, that things do matter. But please help yourself too cuz most people won't do it for you. If you can't change things, you can always change your own perception. |

For many, making isk is not a reason to play eve, isk is a means to an end - buying more ships. I would have trouble spending what I have, why would i want to "learn" how to make more. - - - - - - - - - Sov nul should be about head to head battles in the biggest ships in eve down to the smallest, fighting over things you want or don't want others to have or just because, "because" is a good enough reason.
It should not be about Empire builders with giant coalitions, deciding who gets what and where or how long they can have it. RL politics and backroom agreements broke sov nul and any attempt by CCP to bring it back to life is doomed to fail as long as those with the power (and right now that isn't CCP) want it to stay as it is.
These Empire builders say they want a lively conflict driven nulsec, "they want gud fights" but they want it on their terms. They would never risk their empire by initiating or engaging in any real conflict, they might just lose and that would be unacceptable.
For me; Eve is not about how much isk I can make - isk is only for buying ships to pvp with.
My opinions are mine.
If you don't like them or disagree with me that's OK.- - - - - -
Just don't bother Hating - I don't care

I'd really love to see you expand on that, cause you have to agree, there's probably nobody in EvE that wants to live in Providence more than CVA, but if sov is so "easy to flip" how the hell does that advantage them at all against the 36k members of the CFC... oh sorry Imperium... when they decide to ransack the place for **** and giggles (or most probably because they're bored to death for having 36k blues to begin with...)

As a returning player I find it very, very annoying to wait these skills to train. The whole skill system should go away. it's useless.
Skills are just timers that let us do stuff. Useless timers, that prevent great stuff from happening.
For example, I could be buying plexes and fitting nice navy drakes and blow them up in Amamamamamake, but no. I have to buy crappy T1 frigs wich deal whole 30 dps with my crappy skills.
Note to CCP, by removing useless skills, you make more cash. That's $$$$$$$.
It is not the same when you buy a character, since you can't buy their skills, you buy the indentity and crappy name. You can't rename your purchased character.
You have removed learning skills, wich is great. Now, remove the rest of the useless skill system. |
