Wow, lots of reading.
For those that believe that War decs could use some tweaking, yes everything could use a little tweaking. However, it needs to be well thought out and have the potential future in mind when coming up the solutions used to tweak the system.
For those that believe War decs are functioning as intended. Maybe as you and the others in your group intend them to function. CCP is aware of the problem and my guess they are working though potential solutions and reading the ideas that seem both reasonable and possible to implement.
Two things to consider;
1.) CCP wants conflict in the game
2.) CCP wants to implement as few mechanics as possible that hinder the ideals of sandbox game play.
So the thought of increasing or decreasing the actions and consequences imposed by NPCs in the game such as Concord will never happen. They have their balance there they are happy with it, or they would have continued to play with it through several patches until the balance was reached.
The thought of increasing or decreased war dec costs is on the table being that they have fiddled with it multiple times in the past and still seem to not like where it is at currently.
CCP has stated that they would like war decs to be a usable mechanic in Null sec however they haven't come to a solution that fits with the numbered statements above.
In the end it is what CCP decides to do with the game. They are fully aware of the stats and more than likely have it some where in the planning stages to alot dev team time to the issue however it isn't exactly on their high priority list yet due to it not effecting their bottom line.
This is what it is, if you want it to change. Well you play a game that relies heavily on economic models. Draw up a model that could effect CCP's money and you will have a way to control CCP.
CCP is doing it to themselves by the way. I'm sure they have looked at the numbers multiple times. The player retention for EVE isn't exactly the greatest, nor is player account creation. This whole Alpha Clone, Omega Clone thing was an attempt to fix that. FYI, when a game starts to go free to play when it was previously a subscription based game its on its last leg. |
