I was actually typing something meaningfull and well written here but then I realized rambeling about citadels, multiboxing, destroying content for the sake of advertising to a shrinking playerbase with new unbalaced and rushed superlatives every month seems to be the go to strategy for eve.
There are two problems that cause the rage atm:
1) As someone allready pointed out on reddit CCP managed to kill conflict drives within the game and it is now better content for us as players to bash CCP than bashing Keepstars.
2) CCP has proven to be out of touch with their own product.
Esp. since CCP officials argue with something like 240m ticks used for RMT. Not even knowing how much isk you can actually make in a super but using isk making in supers as a reason for a nerf is just pathetic on a level that I cant put into words without sounding to insulting.
Also I would like to point out that ratting in capitals or supercapitals is not a way of making isk that scales very well. You have to commit to that task and actively play the game to make your isk. You can not just multibox as much supers as your PC can handle like you can do with more passive forms of ratting ships, or passive income in general.
So if I would want to RMT at the current state of the game I would not want to have to use a super. Regular ratting on a large scale would make more isk and require less input. Sure I coul use 1 (one) super ontop of that but that wont be the main way of making isk.
Nerfing the pvp ability due to pve is absolute nonsense.
Esp. since CCP is bringing more and more stronger capitals, titans and supercapitals to the game with via PIRATE FACTION ships. Sorry that I cant really follow that argument. CCP even puts some effort into makeing regular pirate faction capitals cheaper so that those will potentionally being used in further engagements while nerfing caps in general due to said reasons. **** like that is what comes up when you google bigot.
Even more so since the real money makers that do scale and require less effort to make isk are not touched.
Every game has the porblem that its resources are, compared to the real world, unlimited. But you usually work arround that by making the players waste those resources in conflict. So dear CCP if you are afraid of too much isk in the game dont just slap people in the face by doing your best to reduce destruction but make destruction an actual thing again. Take away our wealth by makeing us lose our assets again. Make us want to fight again, that simple. Allowing big enteties to trutle up and create safe krabbing space is not really what made eve great in the past.
Also I would like to state you can not just grab the cash and waste a franchise in the process like EA likes to do and work arround by either having enough other games to make profit of or bringing up a new game next year anyways. I dont think that this tactic wont work very well regarding your portfolio.
Dont treat us like **** by straight up lying into our faces like CCP_Quant did on reddit. Due to an allready shrinking player base this is not a very smart thing to do to be honest.
You have, dear CCP, something like a CSM, you actually spend money at those dudes completly ignoring them when it comes to changing the game but on the other hand pretending to work with the CSM for advertising the uniqueness of your game when it suits you wont end very well in the longrun either.
Get your **** together.

The irony is that ccp keeps pushing more and more expensive pirate faction capitals, supercapitals and titans into the game.
Also the intro of skill injectors actively makes the players feel that they need to grind more and more isk to keep up with the upcomming armsrace caused by the above mentioned ships. CCP made it possible to buy SP with isk.
But oh god please dont actually grind that isk it ruins the economy.
Other things like citadels that prevent major conflicts from happening are untouched.
The main issue is that CCP does not want feedback from the playerbase or the csm and now tries to justify bullshit by trying to create a "fight the 1%" narrative backed up by lies.
The isk does not come from ratting capitals, as those do not scale. You simple can not multibox supers and carriers for ratting purposes.
The effortless afk farming of anomes with a shitton of accounts simultaniously is the issue, not the carrier or the super that actually puts 25+ bil isk out there and is hunted for reddit swag.
Yes I do carrier rat and ofc the changes will have an impact on my income but that is not my issue with those changes. CCP now pretending I am some 1% dudes responsible for RMT and the collapse of the economy yada yada and that I therefore need to be punished is a big slap right into my face.
It is due to bad game design that those problems exist not due to my 75m ticks in my niddy. |
