Maybe CCP should apply the same principle to ratting anoms as they are proposing for the mining anoms. That should provide a more balanced playing field.
We've made that case as well. If you beat the hell out of a pirate faction 24/7, why do they not learn to move or not come back as quickly. Ratting shouldn't be immune to over farming, but we do have to be careful that we don't go too far and chip away at the changes that encouraged higher player density because those did have a purpose within the grand scheme of sov nullsec. I'm not sure that timers are the trick in that case, but I do think CCP hasn't pulled the levers they have on ISK faucets the way they have on resource faucets.
Oooh, I like where you are going with this. But I think let's take it to the next level, I say dramatically increase scarcity, remove bounties and ramp up difficulty. This seems to be working very well for those Blood Raiders Sotiyos. I think playing a game a limited reward system is very sexy... treat them terrible and they will keep coming back - that is how my dad met my mother.
I think another good approach was already mentioned as well, remove the economy all together. Seed everything on the market sisi style (excluding faction mods and officer stuff). But I think Dirk you also touching on a most valuable lesson we can all take to heart and that is wealth redistribution works and more power to the working class pilots. I think what you are possibly trying to say is that space communism works and I simply couldn't agree more. Let me emphasize through repeating that, space communism works! You sir would fit in well with us.... Amok. is indeed recruiting. |

Not just for Rorquals, but exhumers, barges, ishtars, and any other clever ways people find to simultaneously make income on dozens of clients at a time. It's not healthy that a few outliers can completely distort the economy, and it's also not healthy that CCP as a company gets a disproportionate amount of subscriber income from heavy multiboxers.
They don't get a disproportionate amount of sub money from multiboxers. The purpose of multiboxing is to sub all your accounts for isk. Multiboxers increase the price of plex, not provide more plex to the market which would reduce the price of plex.
So are you suggesting fewer people buying plexes, reducing the demand so prices for plex drop, so fewer people have the need to convert real money into Plex... Something something... Brilliant! I think you just won! You have my permission to go out and reproduce. |

Tara Read wrote:Dear CCP Fozzie,
I have played this game since 2004. As a player of a multi million dollar media empire with its own website, t shirt brand, and twitch stream I cannot tell you how boiling mad I am at the changes you are making. I've suffered through this game for over 10 years now and I have to say HOW DARE YOU. I pay for my seven subscriptions with real currency. Sitting in a Colossal for hours upon end as I hear the soft cheerful humming of my excavator drones brought a smile to my life of bleak sadness and misery. When I heard about the changes to the Blood Raider capitals and how to aquire them I became severely depressed and sad.
I developed a condition known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Sotiyo Disorder) and played "Below The Asteroids" on repeat until I cried myself into a stupor. Thanks to YOU sir now I cannot cheer myself up hearing the happy sound of my drones crunching away at asteroids 24/7 with my fellow Coalition mates. I had 25,000 friends 24/7. Now I'll only be able to socialize 5 times in a 24 hour period with them about the fluctuating value of Spod rocks.
I will GLADLY take my hard earned money and put it elsewhere into a game that has such amazing replayability and unique player driven content like World Of Warcraft. Did you know I can craft my own Legendary and call it Molok? GEE WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO GET A REAL MOLOK AS EASY AS THIS HUH? I mean what the heck? I'm literally shivering and my jowles are flapping in silent fury. This will not go unnoticed oh no. The friendship boat has sailed. We do not forget. The sound of our wings buzzing in unison will drown out all opposition. WE WILL NOT SUFFER THIS OUTRAGE.
Tara Read - you are absolutely the best. I love you. |

The big miners won't add more rorquals because of the new timers - good!
You decrease the yield and make it harder to strip mine with huge rorqual fleets - individual ore prices might actually go up.
Are mineral prices at "an all time low?" - I seem to recall BS's at one time being less than half what they cost now. It was also a very real thing to loot missions to refine for minerals - do you remember drone poo? Those were the times minerals were at an all time low... not sure what exact all time you are talking about? PLease explain. |

Those were the times minerals were at an all time low... not sure what exact all time you are talking about? PLease explain. Small point of order here. While "all time low" is incorrect mineral prices *are* at a fairly historic low, since the last time they were anywhere near current levels was years ago, and the prices of most other goods haven't dropped along with the mineral prices, making their *value* (as in, worth relative to a basket of other goods in the economy) certainly at an all time low, at least for lower end minerals.
Do you mean lowend HS mineral costs or lowend nullsec mineral costs? I am looking at HS minerals and they seem unaffected except for mexallon which is actually increasing in value - help me understand your point you are trying to make? |
