That way the self entitled little crybabies that fly them will make a vast mountain of hilarious spergy rant threads which the rest of us can take great pleasure in, then unsub, and the titans will be effectively removed from the game, without the massive influx of minerals caused by ship recycling, or the rampant FOTM-chasing that a skillpoint re-allocation would lead to
Seems like a win-win-win to me.
It figures that a Goon would find fault in any solution that could actually help the game rather than specifically help goons, then accuse others of being cry-babies. Bit rich isn't it, seeing as goons cried the loudest to CCP because those big bad titans that naughty PL fly somehow managed to shoot double LSE drakes with microwarp drives?! HOW DARE THEY SHOOT GOONS! I'm surprised you guys didn't also demand the sig radius on drakes be lowered so that nobody can shoot back at you. I mean hey, there's only 7000 or so goons (clearly you are outnumbered  so maybe you should have also asked CCP for a nerf to alliance sizes while they were at it (for every alliance except goons of course, since you are all so "Special" - note the capital "S" there...yes, the big red bus will be along to pick you up shortly). Stop being a bunch of hypocrites and start using what little brain power you actually have and try seeing this from the perspective of ALL eve players
So onto the serious part, yes this is a solution, no I don't see it as being the only solution but you all have to admit it would resolve the age old question once and for all: is the problem titans themselves, or is the real problem the lack creativity that everyone else seems to have when trying to come up with a counter to them?
I don't actually think the problems are titans, I think the problem is 2 parts politics, 1 part CCP not having a clue about what they were doing introducing them in the first place. Seems almost like introducing titans was done similar to how the technetium changes were made (e.g. lets try this and see what happens...and if anything bad happens then we can always say "it's on our roadmap of things to fix"). The issues with titans are not much different from a lot of other ships, it happened with battleships blobbing up and shooting everything else smaller, happened with super carriers doing much the same, and so on. Regardless of ship type, what makes the difference is this: someone who is better organised than you (and not necessarily bigger) is very likely going to come at you and if you aren't ready or aren't well organised, then you'll probably die. It's really that simple.
How about we just remove every ship type higher than a BS? That way goons can still keep up with their jihadi behaviour toward ice miners (still gonna need isotopes for fuel blocks so plenty of room for market manipulation) and they won't have to spend so much time whinging about capitals (I'm sure there will be something else they'll find to complain about though). |
