sheesh forgot about that one, goodbye mapper, dotlan...that's gonna generate an uproar.
@CCP: where did you get the usage metrics? there's loads of people who absolutely rely on a variety of ingame browser WH mappers to light their way in a world without maps and autopilot routes. I'll hate being blind past the next wormhole.

If you break Siggy, that will be very, very bad. Siggy is a sine qua non for wormholing. If it doesn't automatically populate the destination, track the jump mass or show the location of group members, it's nerfed to the point of uselessness.

It's bad enough for WHers that you killed off C5 farming with the Citadel expansion. Farming those sites was fun, and it carried a risk commensurate with the reward. Now we have to "farm" C5s by rolling them - which involves much more risk and takes much more time for much less reward.

The loss of Siggy will make wormhole space unplayable. It will be insult to injury.

Please rethink this decision.

That isn't really a simple task unfortunately.

The IGB isn't "content."

True, but it is a matter of prioritization. So many things we want to do and a limited number of devs.

Funding VR only pay2win niche games is not the way to make cash, making a good game what you have already established for years better is the way to go. If you keep pulling features like this you are only going to make it awful for older players too, and keep in mind your new player retention is ****.

Not quite sure what all the outrage is about.

So please, don't give me this "CCP doesn't care" crap because it is complete garbage.

fixed it for you: People who should have stopped using the IGB years ago, upset when a feature is unnecessarily removed instead of ccp managing their development properly?

Don't rely on tools attached to a feature slated for removal? You'd have to live under a rock to not be aware this was on the cards. Sometimes I wonder how many Eve players legit do live under rocks. Arguments for and against have already been made. Explanations have been provided as to why continued support isn't feasible. You carrying on isn't going to change it, and frankly the bawwing is pathetic.

The IGB didn't even exist when I started. Luckily I have a brain larger than a pea so I can probably figure out how to play without it. You're clearly screwed and should probably hand over the stuff now and flounce off and take that self-righteous indignation with you.

ps. You're not good at this game

. But whipping out the 'CCP doesn't love us, the sky is falling, we're doomed' line of argument demolishes any credibility here, so try again.

As a new player I did not find out about the IGB untill I clicked a link in Local chat... It was a Porn Link. I did not use it again until my CEO linked me to some tools like Dotlan, which worked better for me out of game than they did in game. I did most of my web / tools stuff out of game on a phone, tablet, in station ALT-Tabbing, and I learned most of the game mechanics from EXPERIENCING the game, watching video's, and learning from my corpmates. At no time have I ever been dependent on the In game browser. I learned how to play without it, it made no difference for me as a newbie, and I doubt it would for anyone else if they hadn't been TAUGHT to rely on it. Times Change, Games change, and the tools will also change.
