Numbers dropping? old farts quitting? EvE declining? possibly, who knows?
Sadly for myself and after playing EvE for just a few years I now find it has become very childish and pandering to the new player.
I used to love exploration, the risk of tanking your ship to the extreme and not knowing just what might hit you, having the skills to hack cans and hopefully get a reward, finding rare rewards worth many millions that you'd sell to pay for plex all of this was one of a great many elements of a game I totally adored.
I liked it so much that after a year of play in 2004 I managed to get my entire family of 2 brothers and my father playing, each of us having at least three accounts and one having six (he did like to mine).
Now however EvE has become dare I say it stale, like luke warm two day old beer, it looks good and may be a suddenly great idea but one taste and you realise it's nowhere near as good as it was.
Call me a bitter old vet if you will, all I will say is that I'm now the last of my family playing and as of last week all of my accounts apart from this toon have now been unsubbed as we have all said the same and that is EvE is slowly becoming nothing more than a shade of it's past.
Gameplay is important as well as content and steadily the game has become simplified to a state of ruin, silly tic tac toe/ minesweeper games with every can having that rare item you once had to take hours to find and be skilled enough to get, titans for everyone swamping fields of battle, fozziesov (blergh), jump fatigue (really really annoying), skill resets and removals (some took months to learn), scambots not being silenced, scam contracts not being fixed etc etc
I could go on and will probably get flamed for all this yet I feel if something isn't done soon the game I love and adore will slowly lose the bright light it has and become nothing more than that old flashlight hidden under the sofa with the half charged batteries you use when you've lost something under the table.
Just my thoughts, burn away................. |
