Originally by: Fox Walken Few issues with this.
2. Protecting carebears... wish CCP would stop doing this - it is in their nature to whine, so let them, don't feed them, part of EVE's success is that it remains viable for non-consentual PKing, every other game that nerfs this and gives into the bears loses players to EVE. Until EVE gives in too..........
3. Macrominers boost - why? this will benefit macro miner isk sellers way more than the bears.
4. The law of unintended consiquence - there has long been an issue with war-targets in high-sec leaving corps to get enemies concorded, now they can do it to even more effect with the insurance nerf.
The best thing about EVE is that no-one is safe, even in high-sec. Do not feed the bears anymore concessions
And you wonder why theres no new player accounts being created in the millions like World of Warcraft (11 million). This is the exact reason why. Personally I perfer a pvp server where theres a no hold bars and you can do whatever the heck you want. Of course, PVE server will have full restrictions of non pvp action unless flagged. CCP will never gather enough clients if a newb's keeps getting killed during their trial accounts in 1.0 - .5 space. Many will just get mad and quit the game all together and will never come back. In addition, for every newb killed within the first month there is a high chance that they will never play again. Which I know that a lot of the pirate don't care. However, it hits CCP bottom line. It's 14.95 a month lost per account. If you multiply it by a 1000 new accounts being created per day and for 30 days. That is an extra $448,500.00 per month lost in extra revenue. So tell me CCP are you really going to support pirates or carebares. Or create a seperate servers for pvp.
One last thing, in history, Pirates has always destroyed towns, villages, cities, and many other civilization in the past. (A good example is Ghost towns that was once run by outlaws.) The question is, will it destroy this game. Will subscription start dropping until there no one is left on the server but pirates. Check those active accounts. Will you even be able to rival WOW 11 million active accounts across the world.
Only Time will tell...
