The people who want wormhole stabilizers are the people who want w-space to act like k-space. It's different. Deal with it, or move out.

787. Add more levels to skills. - in Features and Ideas Discussion [original thread]
I just did the math. a large gunnery skill would take 190 million SPs at level 8. That's 8-10 years of training for a single skill. Level 7 would take almost two years. No one would take advantage of these options past level 6. Even a basic skill ...

791. Two more accounts unsubbed. - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
What's changed in 8 years that makes Eve less dangerous? Is it mechanics, or is it player behavior?

792. Eve learning curve and people complaining of dumbing down - in EVE General Discussion [original thread]
My only real complaint about dumbing down is the proposed "safety" switch to be included in CrimeWatch, which would make it impossible to loot from another person's container without first disabling the safety. And I only take issue with it becaus...

This is what happens when you never get beyond PVE. You collect isk, buy all the things, then ask "now what" and quit the game. This is exactly why CCP doesn't need to cater too much to the risk-averse beancounters. edit: I'm in the midst of my o...
