Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33399	Posted - 2016.02.23 21:46:49 - [1] - Quote Say I have eight screens next to each other in a 2x4 grid, and several of them are scouts in neighboring systems, or cloaked on every hole in a wormhole chain. I don't use any client overlays because they're all side by side and I can see them just fine. Am I breaking rules about unfair advantages? What's missing from the announcement is intent. If it's purely to reduce unfair advantage, it's odd to think the problem is overlays and not the playability of multiple clients and a bit of hardware. What are you really getting at?

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33401	Posted - 2016.02.23 23:11:17 - [2] - Quote Is there a long-term plan to make a single client so hard to play that it would be impossible to manage them without the assistance of third party programs? Some type of subversive reversal of the official multiboxing policy that has been lucrative for so long. I ask because you seem to be cocksure about making carriers nearly unplayable even as a solo client. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:34:14 - [4] - Quote This ISBoxer crackdown seems to be progressing at the same rate as monetization. Are you attempting to cut down on accounts per player now that you think you can make more money per account through monetization?

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:38:27 - [5] - Quote Well I'm ready to consolidate ten characters with 1.5 Billion SP into one account if that's the future norm. Let's do this CCP, stop beating around the bush. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:39:14 - [6] - Quote pull yourself from the teat of multiboxers. Be pure like a real video game. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:43:03 - [7] - Quote No way. It would be one account with an increased character limit. Same revenue, less server load, what's not to like. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:45:53 - [8] - Quote There's also been an effort to make EVE bigger. Literally more systems with wormholes and Thera / shattered, and then jump fatigue. Limiting players to one account would be another step in the same direction.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:52:25 - [9] - Quote if players were forced to one client and not be at a disadvantage to multiboxers, you could start making EVE a HMD game.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 00:55:20 - [10] - Quote CCP you want EVE to be like Elite and Star Citizen, don't you, and that's what this is about. A five- to ten-year plan to get multiboxing out of the way to make EVE a first-person HMD space game. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33402	Posted - 2016.02.24 02:07:27 - [12] - Quote Let's just do some napkin math. A lot of us who are posting in these threads have been around way too long. Per account we've paid what, $150 / year. The average player sticks around for... can we agree on 4 years? 5 perhaps. Each player has an average of 1.5, maybe 2 accounts. So the average player, by revenue, looks like ($150)(2)(4.5) = $1,350 With Injectors, and who knows what else will be sold for AUR, how fast do you think it will take the latest generation of new players to reach that mark. Let's assume they have just one account. $150 for the subscription plus one, two six-packs of PLEX per year is more than enough for new single-account players to yield as much as we did, even with our multiple accounts. So with monetization, yeah, EVE can afford to cut ties with multiboxers. When SP reserves run out to fill Injectors, they can just start selling accelerated SP or change SP in some way to sell it outright. Which, already, to you and me is already happening when characters are able to increase their SP instantly. The SP was generated by someone with hard subscription time, but does that really matter.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33403	Posted - 2016.02.24 03:34:00 - [13] - Quote Sir SmashAlot wrote: Question for CCP: Did subscriptions go up after input broadcasting was banned? Are subscriptions expected to go up after 3rd party overlay tools are banned? before injectors there was only a flat reduction in revenue resulting from reduced player count. That's not the case anymore. You can have fewer subscribers but also more revenue. That's the benefit of monetization.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33403	Posted - 2016.02.24 03:45:04 - [14] - Quote The revenue pattern of post-injector players will be very different. Say if you were a new player and you know all you wanted was a high sec missioning Vargur with perfect supports, you could inject your way to that immediately for what, $750, $800? People pay that nowadays. I know back when I started, I would have gone for that. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33403	Posted - 2016.02.24 03:47:07 - [15] - Quote As for the amnesty bit, it might be a precursor to Iwantisk getting headshot. Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33405	Posted - 2016.02.24 07:08:17 - [16] - Quote All that has to happen is an increased characters-per-account limit. The lowest limit In a game I play other than EVE is Diablo 3, and that allows 12 characters. The rest of the mechanics are there. Multiple Pilot Training Certificates, in particular. Injectors too. If I hear about the character limit being raised, I'm considering it a confirmation. EVE will go single-account-per-player.

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33405	Posted - 2016.02.24 08:39:52 - [17] - Quote For the record, i'm amused. This is my prediction for EVE's 10-year plan: boiling frogs Help, I can't download EVE President of the Commissar Kate Fanclub PLEX: A Giffen good? (It's 1B?)
Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33421	Posted - 2016.02.26 06:24:06 - [18] - Quote Uh. I launched a client and forgot about it, and left it under my browser. Then it was very odd to me that I could hear EVE sounds as my mouse moved around the screen. Apparently my mouse location was registering in the EVE client when it was hidden behind another window? Is this new? Am I going to be penalized for a false positive if I find myself in a similar scenario in the future?

Rain6637 GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 33424	Posted - 2016.02.27 22:09:11 - [20] - Quote So... you don't use third party apps you use a third party? That's pretty baller. If I could afford it I would hire people to fly my characters and RP command them in a room set up like the flight deck of the USS Enterprise. Probably even have uniforms.
