Yeah. I don't even rat. I just pvp.

If you need to reduce ISK storming in system for equal why not reduce all bounty in every level mission. Make fraction items is the reasons for players to rat not bounty.

[quote=Crash 888]how is pvp screwed by this?


This really hurts small scale pvp groups and their ability to fight numeric odds using higher SP and isk investment into ships such as carriers and super carriers, and it strengthens large capital heavy alliances such as PL, NC. and GSF who have the numbers to not be affected by the damage cuts.

Because they are the largest null sec groups and see the short term effects of poorly planned changes? Isk faucet a problem? Add sinks, remove taps. Don't nerf perfectly good if not underpowered capital ships. (they don't have the teeth should in a pvp fight yet...)

They're going to lose a lot of money next month once scripts run out,

that so?

I hate to say it, but this fix is actually working for CCP. Instead of activly playing the game for 2 hours with one character via carrier ratting, I will now sub 4 characters and AFK my VNI's for 8 hours while I complete house chores.

CCP gets more money from my additional subs and even though I am AFK I show 3 additional toons logged in for longer so it looks like player base is more active.

I am still butt hurt over the kill injector thing, used to mean something being from 2005. All I hear in mumble now is people talk about injecting this and that, makes me sick.

Of course I make good money so I am not bothered by the nerf, I can afford to sub the accounts and even buy plex for isk if needed.

The downside for me to this change is that I found the new fighter mechanics fun. I was starting to enjoy making my isk to buy PVP ships for and I was looking forward to getting my FAX trained up. So for me, it just went back to being a boring game again except for the now rare pvp events. So, I will probably stop playing soon again.

Ridiculous preteen Mentality....


I give it two months when number of subscribers have dropped along with the revenue, then coax them back with a buff and an admission of 'we got it wrong' subtly placed somewhere in the patch.

Target the problem of the loot drop in the first place and the bounty.

Next it'll be ' we dont need guns anymore on ships, start throwing buns instead'
Ratters will keep on ratting but you've upset the pvp population way more imo, unjustifiably

Do you really think this is the way to assure game longevity? come on devs, do the right thing

PLEX prices wouldn't be an indicator this soon anyway. Before leaving I put all my ISK into PLEX and other investments I expect to increase in value, because I have 0% confidence in CCP's attempts to stop inflation if this is what they're trying. I probably bought 3-4 months worth of my normal PLEX consumption so my disappearance actually contributed to a temporary increase in PLEX price at the moment.
