I was just looking at the stats from TQ after reading this and:
Out of ~310k characters only ~102k have more than 10 fittings saved or a little less than a third of all people using fittings.
Looking at the rest of the gap there are ~58k characters with twenty or more fittings saved, 37k with thirty or more, ~23k with forty and a little less than 8k pilots are already on the limit of fifty.
*sigh* More misleading data from CCP. Its misleading because you look at the numbers and you give absolutely no context. Honestly, before the fitting nerf I never saved my fittings to Eve. The reason was I just didn't use a lot. But, now, i'm into PVP. I'm training for different ships, different capabilities. Often times I will research a ship fitting before I have the ability to fit it and then save that fitting for future reference when I get around to being able to use it.
Since the nerf, I don't even bother saving my fittings in Eve. Why? Well, maybe because I don't want you guys deleting my saved fits? Maybe I don't like the idea that 50 might become 25. I do believe some people had fits go missing when the limit was put in place. So, I save all my stuff in EFT so I can keep it "safe" from CCP. I have several dozen fits, not just for myself, but for up and coming noobs I accept into my corp since I can't be arsed to remember tens of thousands of possible permutation of ship fits. Sorry.
Regardless, there are those players who have amassed a "resource" of good ship fits for all purposes. These people are resources and the go to guy for people in the know.
Also, the "there has to be a limit" argument is rather weak. You want to sell back a function we previously had. Interesting that it wasn't a problem until you could affix a dollar sign to the paltry limit of 50. Obviously whatever limit there was did not put undue stress on your hardware. And if so few people are saving large numbers of fits, then a higher limit shouldn't be a problem. But, I suppose, you could blame null lag on ship fittings if you want.
Edit: I don't even know why I bother replying to a dev with his head that far up his wormhole.
