Bitter vet is bitter.
FFS, for all the complaining they do about carebears I hear more tears from vets than anyone else.
Eve is NOT pvp, it is a living world. PvP is strong component of that but not the be all and end all of that.
If you leave over it, im glad your gone.
GTFO and gimmie your stuff. |

And what happens if these changes make the established player base look elsewhere, but at the same time fail to bring in enough new players? You make it sound like massive changes to EVE ("evolution") will definitely increase the game's subscription count, but that is by no means guaranteed. Word-of-mouth has been consistently proven to be a stronger long-term marketing strategy for MMOs than direct advertisement.
I never said or implied that, you insinuated(?) it. Its always a gamble no matter the path taken. What has truly been consistently proven is that when something grows stale you throw it out. Changes have to be made eventually, some liked and some hated but they have to come. CCP isnt going to bring in new players if they keep the same old formula and every company is looking for growth not the same ol same ol. So take the chance and maybe win big or lay on the couch growing mold. Pirate tears are yummier than carebear tears for they come from the deeper well of anguish. |

Bloody Hell...
Not just simple ignorance here --that's easily enough remedied-- but militant unreason.
Your kind almost literally makes me ill, IRL. I play games to get away from your ilk, and here we have an industry increasingly catering to same. What, there aren't enough games suited to them? Go check out that pay-to-win mess Black Prophecy has apparently become, it's clearly more your speed, and it even has ::Spaceships (TM):: too.
Is that the future of MMOs?
If that is the case, then maybe CCP should "go dark" in a few more years.
Go out on a high note, unlike say, the slow protracted death-spiral of SW: G.
You are just trolling, I hope?
If so, then....eeerrrm...keep practising. Meta-gaming for carebears:

E:
I'll adress what some have said, re-- Evolution of EVE.
What CCP apparently wants to do is not evolution, it is revolution: They are trying to make a niche-product go mainstream, and can't seem to grasp why that attempt will almost certainly fail.
There's a reason specialised products are often also niche products, and why they should usually stay that way. They can't be all things to all people. And yet, that hasn't hurt CCP over the last near-10 years. How many MMOs ever last that long?
They may well see it as "evolving," but if so, then it's in all the wrong directions.
Tippia --another ::Official GoodPoaster(TM):: -- was right in this one thread, once, and in a much more broad sense than she may have meant with that thread:
Carebears --the wrong kind of carebears for EVE-- are not necessary for EVE to function. Meta-gaming for carebears:

this is exactly what awful players tell themselves when ppl talk about skill-based games. EVE piracy has too long been a haven for the awful pvper, requiring no skill or talent, just paper/rock/scissors bullshit that is not even remotely challenging in any way. The skill ceiling got raised a few inches off the floor and all the terribad babies come to the forums to flood it with a river of delicious tears. Fking classic. |

OP claims that CCP is dumbing the game down, but in every example he gives its the player base causing the lack of PVP.
In a nutshell, he is pissed that people don't want to PvP, and have found ways to avoid it. Riddle me this Batman; if there are more people in Eve now, how was it more dangerous then? The answer is I am asking the wrong question. You dont want it to be more dangerous for you, you want it to be more dangerous for noobs so you can assrape them.
You can get PvP within 5 minutes with the new war dec system if you want it. Every war is open unless the defender closes it. Zero excuses. |

They're making security more, well, secure. And this is a problem? You know, giving players choices on how they want to run their game? Either going for safe but time consuming in high sec or risky and rewarding in null sec. |

Ok, I'll bite:
1) You can't start shooting your war targets 5 minutes after deccing your opponent.
2) By the very rules of the game, if the game is more dangerous in general, it is also more dangerous for me. I'm not ISD, I don't get a special ship with special rules and be treated differently. I fully expect to have to deal with the same mechanics that everyone else has to deal with.
3) Perpetual wars? Only if the defender *chooses* to keep it going, and 99% of the time, the defender can always run from a fight. Again, you're so obtuse that you fail to see my point completely. THE GAME IS BALANCED TOO FAR IN THE FAVOR OF THE DEFENDER (VICTIM).
When I was new, Eve was a merciless and lethal environment. Death was everywhere. You think suicide ganking is easy now? Try five years ago when two Caracals could run down an Iteron 5 with half a bil in cargo/expanders from 30 jumps away and kill it with ease. If todays players had to play in that environment, carebears' would little pea brains would explode from the selfrighteous indignation.
People like you (unlike me) get "difficult and hard for everyone" confused with "difficult and hard for me". See, changes to the game that make it more difficult in general (no warp to zero, no local, no jump freighters, no jump bridges, no dictor bubbles, etc. etc. etc.) don't just make the game more difficult for you personally. It makes it more difficult for everyone in the game. And an easy game isn't always the best game.
Example: a hill climb racer was asked what makes a good race course (hill) and he answered: "If only one or two (out of a hundred) make it to the top, it's a good course. If everyone makes to the top, it's no good." People like yoursef want a hill where 95% of the players can make it to the top. I want a game where only a few can make it to the top, and only by being as creative as possible and outwitting other players.
So, in closing, when I say "CCP is dumbing down the game", that's what I'm referring to: they're changing the game so that more people can reach the top even though they have an IQ of 60.
And finally, how can I have any respect for you? I don't know you. Why would you think that I have any respect for you at all? You haven't earned any.

This is the impression I am getting as well.
EVE, for me, is a game where you create a goal you want to accomplish and how that goal reflects on the world entirely created by players.
Many MMOs today bang on and on about wanting player choices to make meaningful differences in the world around them but EVE did it already.
But that's beside the point. There seems to be this misconception that PvP is ONLY in High sec. I just recently went up into nullsec because I was bored and had a good fight. Realistically thinking, nobody is that stupid. But I can't think of any other reason why someone would consistently think this game is becoming hello kitty online just because they're reducing risks in high sec and low sec. With the latter meant to disperse PvP around other portions of low sec rather than having it concentrated on gates.
Null sec still exists, and it is just as risky, rewarding and fun as ever.
This also tends to come across as old men yapping on about how kids have it good today and how they had to work for everything or whatever. |

You're losing the plot, but again, I'll bite:
Eve is a shooting game. It's a game about shooting. There is no denying this. Without destruction, there is no reason for anyone to build anything. Industry exists to serve those who kill, not the other way around.
Those that think otherwise also think that minerals are free because they don't have to buy them. But, people lie to themselves all the time in order to make them feel better about themselves.
So, it's not about "make the game the way I want it". It's about "this is the game, and diluting that in any way ruins the core game and takes away from the experience of playing the game." It diminishes it.
If you don't want PVP, go play (literally) Hello Kitty Online. Otherwise, stop trying to dumb down my PVP game.
