I'd like top start off by stating that up until this point, I have almost fully disagreed with all of murder one's posts.
Until this thread.
I don't quite understand why this is going past all of you, and you do not grasp what he is getting at.
I used to play Earth & Beyond prior to EVE, and one of the most fun aspects of that game was the ability to travel to remote spots and find NPC's just lurking around for you to attack. Alot of players enjoyed that aspect, and it is something EVE completely lacks.
Now, I am not comparing the 2 games, so don't even start.
I am simply making a statement that the idea by murder one to remove mission running isn't all that bad. I personaly wouldn't remove them, as there are players that like running the same missions over and over. ( on that note, when can we expect the multitude of new missions that were to come with ease after the dragon code patch nearly a year ago, hey CCP?)
No, instead of removing missions, I would have them still exist, but also incorporate free flying, roaming NPC's at spots all over the EVE universe. Honestly, the "belt rats" and complexes are not the answer.
And for those of you argueing that EVE is not centered around PvP, please think about a few things regarding your favorite PvE activities...
-TRADE: Ideally, you buy low / sell high. However, you compete with other players for prices that will not only net you profit, but also make a sure sale. You vs. other players, aka: PvP
-MINING: You use your ship to mine ore. Now, you either sell the ore (see TRADE)
or, you refine it into minerals and sell them (see TRADE), or use them to make items and ships, to sell (see TRADE).
There are very few instances where you are actually acting solo and not causing any change in any other players game. EVE is PvP, in nearly every single aspect, wether you like it or not. The one thing I personaly would like to see, is CCP introduce some new items into EVE that cater to ALL groups, and NO I dont mean instances, or consentual PvP. Just more things for everyday players to do, other then missions and PvP. EVE is a huge world, just very empty. Once you have done 2 weeks worth of missions, there are no new encounters. Once you have pvp'd your ISK away, its a start-over with the same old crap. Give us some new things to play with. New things to see, and experience, and for god's sake CCP, stop promising 100 things but only implementing 1.
