Edited by: Malrock on 27/02/2007 21:05:44 i have to agree with original post. i am a veteran of this game, in past i have lead alliance, taken part in regonal wars and been a supportinve member of several communities. how ever i have grown tierd of constant demands on my time, tierd of back stabbing politics, tierd or the b*****t that goes around in player community. as such i have retired to be a pve pilot and live a quiet life of casual player, this is now under fire from dev's. eve won a lot of player due to freedom of choice; as a player you had many ways to exist in eve, by beeing a PvE runner you could make a living and enjoy parts of game without all the harassment of low sec pirates and others.
This freedom is now beeing stripped from us by pretence of "moving people into low sec" as the exodus tryed to move people into 0.0. I say enough. People will choose theyr own path when they feel so, enough with twisting players hand in the matter!
I can understand why level 6 (capital ship missions) are forced into low sec (due to capital ships beeing limited to low sec) and i have no issues with it but levels 4 and 5 SHOULD BE LEFT in high sec as well.
As far as money sink goes, PvE is only source of money for a lot of players, those players enjoy casual playstyle and if its removed it will hurt them.
I have noticed that EvE choices are made by assumption that players have a lot of gaming time, this can be seen by the time needed to do even smallest of tasks, while it is good from one point its harmful from other. Not all players have ability to be 12 hours in game, not all players can be online even all days in week, developers really need to count on that fact as well that there are many people who can log on for 30 - 40 minutes a day to enjoy a quick mission or do some basic trading / building.
What my message would be - EvE has supported a divercity of players and playstyles, it should never try to force one above other nor push people into one concrete style, the divercity is what makes EvE so good so dont harm it by enforcing too strict barriers unless they are absolutly nessesary.
Many of the mission system changes are welcomed how ever so at least some good is coming into wold of EvE, just please drop the lvl 5 beeing low sec only idea along with people not making any money off missions any more. Unity is the key. |
