QUESTION: Could you please explain why using the carrier "as not intended" needs to be fixed? What are you trying to achieve by removing this use from the ship?
I've read every single post in this thread, and I still am not entirely convinced of your reasoning other than you want to make pos fueling harder work for alliances.
I'm loving this thread. I love seeing a bit of an insight into what CCP are thinking, However...I'm getting a bit of a sinking feeling...
As per the past few posts, its the culture of MMORPG's that I do not like.
The devs(CCP) make a game with certain mechanics and attributes. The players, having many more of them and many more hours than the devs could put into it, come up with all sorts of ingenious ideas and different "exploits" to use things as they were "not intended" to be used.
Solution? Devs NERF the F### out of everything.
Player response? Find more ingenious ideas.
Devs respond again - Nerf the F$#@# out of everything..
until we have a very watered down version of what was a very good idea... Am I the only one who sometimes wishes for an Eve Reset back to 2004 or 2005?
I HATE THAT THE DEVS THINK THEY HAVE TO FIX EVERYTHING WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM AS "NOT INTENDED."
It makes me feel physically ILL to think about it (I'm not being sarcastic here... I REALLY FEEL ILL !!!)
Here's a thought. If us humans weren't so ingenious to find different ways of using things, we'd still be living in caves, without fires, without tools, no clothing, being chased by tigers, lions etc.
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but CCP YOUR ATTITUDE THAT YOU HAVE TO "FIX" EVERYTHING EVERYTIME SOMEONE USES IT AS "NOT INTENDED" IS WRONG!
I get that there needs to be balance, but we'd like some rather considerable communication before hand.
For some background, I played Project Entropia/Entropia Universe for 3 years. I saw the same sh#t happen there. The difference with that game was you used real money to buy stuff, and so I spent over $5000 of REAL MONEY skilling up and buying stuff, only to have it Nerfed time and time again, and have all my fun stolen from me, which is probably why I get so emotional about Eve, because although I'm not spending as much, I do play 4 accounts, and it IS a considerable TIME investment if not only money, so when you start making changes that affect my fun, I may get a little tense.
BTW, I don't fly a carrier or an Eos, and so I don't have any specific problems with the said changes other than now I might have to be involved in corp ops hauling fuel 50 jumps for carriers(or perhaps mods and fittings), for wars or pos fueling. Its the general attitude that worries me here.
They're having too much fun, set Nerftaser on kill.
Btw, I fly pretty much all races, and I enjoy Amarr ships, except for the zealot - PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE FIX THIS SHIP. There is no reason to use it!
