CCP will actually see how terrible it all is, get someone else to take over as "SOV Null game designer" (to sideline Fozzie) and do some emergency patches to fix the huge mess he is about to make.
I am very about the coming changes ... but hey, there is always High Sec Incursions and Worm Holes!
P.S. Fozzie has his vision, he has written it in his dev blog. He believes that he is completely right. Jump fatigue for all the complaining is working perfectly as planned in the design. Now he is very sure of himself, so he is going to push through magic wands and easy flips to forward his Pandemic Legion style of playing EVE.[/quote]
CCP games worst mistake is hiring players to become dev's who have no idea on proper game design for the entire customers for which they provide a service for.. and in turn turning the game into "their own game" which all it does is ruin the sandbox even more.
if he designed other games and had a portfolio to prove he's excellent I'd be a little kinder out of respect. but honestly if they continue down this road of allowing fanboys to ruin their art.. then I look forward to the day I unsub and stop paying their bills.
vision.. vision.. yeah last dev said he had a vision and that ended well with teams being removed.. he didn't include his vision involving him splitting just like the others visions who split as well.

CCP Soundwave CCP Greyscale CCP Fozzie
The next one will be...?
I could be wrong, but just a perspective of mine.
no you're correct,
that's all because their head boss came up with a brilliant plan to allow devs to work on whatever they feel , as if this gave them a chance to rejuvenate their minds and not be so stressed out and under the gun.. she is the one allowing this free reign.. the owner is the one hiring players to ruin his business.. THAT is a problem.
eve online is not going to "hold the line" once the competition comes.. eve valkerie?? what a joke hahah VR is a gimmick just like 3D gimmick.. it never stays around just some companies pulling a money grab.. it will not become standard, it will not be a success but ccp still pulling out those cut scenes trailers hoping it will dangle the carrots for them.
then super cap pilots went totally batchit crazy and threatened to quit this extremely biased game.. ccp seagull makes a "promise" to make capital ships important this year..
now we'll wait for her promise to make null sec more thrilling to get new players there to experience it...
cause the damage fozzie-sov is about to do is worse than soundwave, greyscale (ccp greyscale **** things up really really bad)
he talks a good game and that's why ccp hired him.. just like why they gave that mintchip chick a job. fawking players of the god damn game getting jobs cause they allow it. not cause they have experience in game design.. all cause they played the ****ing game! in the states dev's or people trying to call themselves a dev with that limited experience would be laughed out of the studio. like that idiot who tried to apply for head coaching position in the NFL... all cause his Madden Game Stats said he was brilliant!!!!
hey CCP I save squirrels and made a life-sized titan out of bacon.. give me a damn job you punks! then let me take on pvp in this game.. I will show you the future!!!
I would make sure to invite guest speakers to fan fest and make it so exciting they would not fall asleep during their own presentation on stage!... ( yes! ccp im not ever going to let that one go!!)

if another player unsubs then we'll never know the true number of active players in the eve online.
oh wait.. we still don't know cause ccp refuses to show the "real" number
no alts mess,
real numbers..
they wont show you cause it looks THAT bad, and with these changes its going to be even worse..
just wait till june when folks get REALLY ANGRY..

That is a real shame.
I remember when CCP released the Butterfly Effect Trailer back in 2009, at that point it was possible for somebody new to have a long lasting effect, to be a major influence, that has now become impossible in Eve.
Funny enough that was the trailer that got me to notice Eve.
The sad truth is that we are at the stage of the game where the existing groups we have, Goons, PL, NC will continue to dominate for the foreseeable future regardless what CCP do as they have let it far far to late. How does one conflict with the other? And considering the amount of drama we've seen among long-established groups lately, what is there to suggest that the existing groups you mentioned are to last? New players and new constellations can shake things up the same way they always have, be it from the inside or the outside of pre-existing groups. We still see significant conflicts erupt over the decisions and mistakes of singular individuals. EVE is far more of a Hero's Journey than any other game out there, exactly because it offers genuine trial and achievement, demands and tests of insight and growth, rather than offering up a canned storyline with a predetermined outcome. It's just that, by design, success is not guaranteed; hero-hood is not handed out to everyone, and the story you build and the journey you take is entirely your own.
only thing that can take those groups out is a fozzie nerf bat to the head all due to "cause they were too large and too OP" there is no longer any room for new groups and a new player.. its all being guided into joining the major coalitions. |

i still cant get over that these guys at ccp think blowing up stations where folks have lived for years and earned their assets should be vulnerable.. just cause the big guys want targets and more things to shoot at besides everyone else to shoot at..
and they honestly believe this kind of war fare is going to keep players around.. so what happens when they end up driving off the rest of the players.. they'll have no one to shoot at and will turn all targets on making high sec a living hell.
watch, wait and see... you guys know this will happen..
so shut up and pay your money to be bullied.. will be the next marketing campaign..
remember you can be the villain or the good guy.. oops the good guys left the game so be the one and only bad guy in a room by himself.
can eve online even manage to reach 1 million active players online?? i doubt so.. there's so much room in new eden for them.. but welp you pushed them away.. you have empty swaths of space which proves even more you were more delusional in your sub numbers.. you built it., they came.. and they left..

eve only hit 65k players online once since ive been in game.. and now that number is a very far reaching goal
next thing you know folks are going to start praising 24k when numbers dip even lower. then some idiot will claim its a success when its 18k players.. you folks in denial are really crazy.
just wait till fozzie-sov hits.. I hope his job is on the line, I also hope seagull's job is on the line as well cause she's allowed this destructive mindset to ruin this game.
folks are leaving and new players are still not sticking around, they haven't solved problems they have created more problems.

I demand folks to do their jobs.. which is to continue working on things that further expands this product instead of coming up with ways to make the risk even higher than the reward. I expect as a paying customer to not feed into ego's that only invent negative effects as for means of "content" cause they're to detached from reality that this game is losing folks hand over fist on a day to day.. and can no longer even count to 50k active online.

Another one who knows what was intended by the Developers... . Just repeating what has been message from CCP last 6 years about I have played... They want us to team up (they also obviously wish most would move to low/null secs), no matter what we do in our sandbox, and teaming up eventually leads to wardecks and being more likely target for some "griefer" groups. La Rynx wrote: Get more players for eve as it is like now? Newb players do not want to be cannonfodder for the older ones. Its as easy as that. PvP games dwell always better, if those pathetic strong longplayers can not fight the weaker ones.
Unfortunately difference in knowing what to do and with what, skill points and isk, combined to fact that it is shared sandbox where there is NO safe place to hide, will make that impossible direction for a game with nature like EvE has. Younger players will always have disadvantage, and high sec will be terrorised by hoards of both old and young players. End of story. If CCP ever want to see Eve as anything other than a niche game for the minority, new player retention needs to improve Yes CCP encourages people to team up but it does not lead to wardecs and content. It leads to stagnation and loss of content. Large groups have; 1) nothing to gain by going to war 2) too much to lose by going to war. That is why RL politics is currently ruling Sov nul. (Some Empire builders have way too much to lose by risking their empire) CCP is never going to have an active content filled game as long as there are large dominating groups (with 1 & 2) ruling the major PVP arenas. The whole wardec system in Eve is a sham, it has no meaningful role. Relatively small groups wardec large alliances simply so they can camp gates and kill freighters without concord intervention. Few if any of them would ever put themselves in a position where they had to actually "fight' those they wardec.
I fully agree, the war dec system is so broken that they ignore it.. just as much as they ignore the bounty system. you saw fozzie's response to the question on when will the war dec system be fixed.. he looked at rise for the answer.. that shows these guys really don't have a clue what to fix.. they just know what more to break!! |

And there we go again. You are still a horrible person for wanting people to lose their jobs . And you do have another option.... get the **** out of my EvE if you don't like it.
I don't care I want to see folks lose jobs if they're doing an awful job. I would fire someone for bad performance in a heartbeat.
its my eve as much as it is yours.. and if I left guess what you're still losing numbers in active players.. see its folks like you that would stand proud in a small circle jerk of friends.. and then there's people like me that are the mainstream why decide what is a Hit or a Miss or a Dud.. and this game is reaching dud status with some loving it and MANY leaving it..now deal with it.

just reading all these comments on this thread is one of the main reasons the competition is getting spikes in players. I swear eve has became the retirement home for old folks. you guys rather debate than demand change.
I cant wait for the competition (ED, SC) to be full on live so then I can watch how you guys debate on how you failed.

As long as people who don't like CCP or what they are doing with EVE keep paying (ie caring enough to post snarkily about CCP, not caring enough to stop giving CCP money), EVE will never die. It's ironic if you think about it.
that's true, I mean this game has had 12 yrs to get it right and still cant seem to get it right, it's just very unnerving to know they're moving into well we'll try this or that. the end effects of fozzie-sov will end up back full circle again "we need to force folks to null cause now not everyone is coming to null" which means they'll whine to nerf high-sec.. I mean we've been here before.. over and over again.. that's why its honestly better to look at other options for gaming these days.
I liked eve for the chance she seemed to provide, but the blobbing, ridiculous cruelty to newbs, and attitude that she's placed is just out right stinky these days convulted ways of manipulating forced recruitment into large coalitions is at hand here. Sheeple and there's many sheeple will get bored and whine more on stuff to get nerf'd or removed cause they want to force their way of playing. this isn't the sandbox.. its a sheeple-box..

A text book example of a persons problem actually being themselves but blaming it on someone else. I've met sooo many like you in this game (and others), people with unreasonable expectation who cling to a game not for what it provides, but for what it MIGHT provide at some point in the future if the people who develop it miraculously wake up and just do it right (aka the way YOU want them to) lol. The hint of "CCP wants me to blob in null sec" tinfoil-hattery is the second most delicious thing about your post. I say second, because the 1st is, again, that your posting rights and your own post demonstrates that you've spent 12 years PAYING SOMEONE TO DISAPPOINT YOU when an actual rational person could have figured this out 11.99 years ago and saved a bunch of money, priceless time AND frustration.
maybe cause you met so many people should tell you that perhaps you have the outcase perspective and the ones you met have the same mindset.. which means we're more than you and should we leave it hurts your game even more.. lol.. I cant wait till competition comes and just to look how you guys love endless debates and blaming and deflecting im just going to laugh about it.. |

And it probably will be still alive in 2065 when SC is almost close to done lol. Pretty optimistic , but yeah, EvE WILL stay alive, if CC'p is willing to keep it alive. Even with lowest subscription numbers it is possible, CCP just needs to adjust income to expenses.
Justin beiber has more of a chance of earning an Oscar for playing an artist than eve has to stay alive that long. |

Mark Hadden wrote:CCP killed a huge heap of content with their latest releases over past 2 years. For me, life in 0.0 was basically a mix of these things: 1) sov wars 2) med scale skirmishes 3) small gangs 4) (solo) gatecamping 5) roaming 6) (solo) solo ratter hunting 7) (solo) belt ratting from boredom
while many of those things are still a valid activity when there is a fleet up, there is nothing left to do for me solo personally inbetween pings/roams/skirmishes.
CCP first of all eliminated ratter hunting as they changed NPC AI aggro mechanics, which suddenly required you to fly some heavy/expensive/easy to catch ship into deep hostile territory. Year or so later they introduced bubble immune interceptors which removed my second main activity which kept me busy when I was up for solo stuff: gatecamping. You cant siege systems anymore, you arent able to lock pipes with a interdictor, people will simply grab interceptor, invalidate your whole existance and laugh at you while flying off (feels like they are 90% of all traffic in 0.0).
I'm sure with those 2 changes alone CCP butchered a HUGE share of pvp content for lots of people who loved to roam ratting grounds or catch people on gates with dictor, so there is basically not much left for me and people alike, why I simply have no reason to log in anymore.
my 2 cents bout the topic.
EDIT: oh yeah almost forgot about belt ratting, which CCP successfully nerfed into oblivion as they basically removed faction spawns, making (once special) regions like Venal or Stain into yet another NPC 0.0.
they did do all of this but where does fozzie come up with the idea that there's massive amounts of isk in 0.0 space? I think he listens to his friends instead of seeing the reality of their nerfs. |

there is a lot of ISK in 0.0. My post was solely about pvp content, CCP removed from the game. 0.0 is safer than ever atm, you can do complexes or farm anomalies on mass while there is barely noone looking for you, thanks to said changes and phoebe, which rendered even BO drops pain in the butt. As they made NPC protect you when you rat, from pvp encounters, CCP plans dont end there, they go a bit further and possibly include a cloak nerf, basically one of the last resorts to interrupt pve or ambush ratters in backwater systems. There IS much ISK to be had.
The day CCP nerf's cloaky camping will be the day I get a fozzie rocks tattoo on my forehead |

Sov warfare on steroids. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
dude since that chick has been in the head seat, she's allowed the devs have free reign on whatever they want to screw up. And she only speaks up once a major number of players completely go off.. since her reign Eve has lost even more players and the numbers are dropping faster each day.
its all over the web now dude, ccp wont dare post their real numbers cause it will prove that eve is indeed failing, plus ccp has lost so much talent (good and bad) that it could cause a riot (no pun intended lol). I wouldn't doubt by now they're already planning her replacement cause she said she was against ego's but allowed ego's to impact and effect this game.
its not stupid math to figure out why folks and new players are giving up on eve..
you cant force anyone to get involved in the null sec wars, let the circle jerks enjoy null and have it to themselves, but we all know if they also see the dip in players in null, they'll run right back to ccp whining how ccp should force players into null sec.
they pull the data, they know the data, they will also lie about that data cause they don't want to look bad. if the data was all great.. they'd simply post it and show it like they use to..

despite the moon distribution reorg wish list.. what about the blowing up the damn stations you twinkle with capturing. see once again they wont comment cause they know that's going to drive even more folks away from fozzie-sov as a whole.
we ask them "whats the reason and value of having sov since you want to blow up stations"
they say "well we have ideas...o.o!" wth ?? idea's???!!
yeah I have an idea.. im going to take my money elsewhere once you blow up my freaking station, and them im going to tell everyone I know and even ones I don't know to NEVER come to eve online and deal with this kind of torture in the name of "gud fights" or "HTFU pride".. those ccp employee's can drink moose **** for all I care once they touch my stations.
blow up station ccp nullabor.. just go forward and blow one up and watch the decline of subs and excuses YOU will have to come up with. I dare you .. I double dog dare you.

1) Moon juice wars kept and keep this game from dieing. 2) Have you heard of Technetium? 3) Shure, PL is in Catch, if that makes any ~sense~ to your connection, but what of Fountain, Querious and Delve? Fwends all around the Universe.

funny how folks claim the moon juice wars keep this game from dieing when in fact there's only very small moon juice wars, cause the weight of the moon juice is one-sided already and controlled by large mega-coalitions.. so there's no fighting over that at all now is it??
2) heard of dysprosium 3) but what of provi.. the poorest of them all again abused by prejudiced devs. null sec distribution should be equal and fair across the entire map.
oh funny how someone got the heads up and moved their armada before hand and now are set for life cause of ****** (chitty) dev leaks.

In my old age I have developed a wisdom and I understand that things are not as easy as they seem, we are not responsible for developing Eve online we are the players. We also have to understand being in charge of game development has a big responsibility where you have to understand the market and create a product which will keep peoples interest.
Eve online was the first game to utilize the internet to connect all of us players in a spaceship setting and for that alone they get my respect. I think this kind of game only appeals to a hand full of people, lets face it, to play a space ship game you've got to be interested in space ships?. Perhaps we have reached the limit of what eve can offer simply because there are 1000's of other games on the market?
CCP have a loyal fan right here, I am happy to pay my sub fee and i'll do so for a long time to come. Some of us Eve players are too moany, stubborn and ignorant.
Keep going Seagull and the rest of the dev crew, you're doing an ok job.
that's really pleasant reply Aaron,
but you're kinda incorrect sir as eve dev's provided the tools for her community to figure out and make the content. now you have players becoming devs and making biased decisions just cause it helps certain groups, you have prejudice dev's who'll look the other way and refuse to fix a broken mechanic while the huge majority of the community wants it done (cloaky camping).. you have that kind of decision making going on..and they cant lock down why folks are leaving or even retain players.
we've reached a limit alright, we have been pushed to the final threshold and folks are.. LEAVING.. and ccp don't have a clue on how to get them back.. but hey.. lets blow up a station while they pray that draws players. |

lmao see that's how his logic works and why its not working at all.. matter of fact some coalitions are INCREASING in numbers instead of splitting up
I guess fozzie just expects "ok one day they'll get bored and decide to create a civil war in their regions.. yeah yeah that's it!. they'll have to pick a side.. tag your it!" |

The " 37K average" like 9k in 2004 is not relevant. What is relevant is how many are online playing the game 24/7/365 "now" not a few years ago. That number currently, is far below the 37K average and the fact the "average" comes from peak numbers of 3 or 4 years ago is a very real indication - There is something fundamentally wrong.
Weighted-averages are always relevant. Perhaps you didn't start the game with 5k PCU, well I did and it was FUN back then as it now. I acknowledged that the current activity is back to 2008 levels - no need to be overly emo about it. The issue is being addressed with Sov 5.0, which you think is "irrelevant" again. Is it being addressed? I don't believe it is and my reasons for this are spread throughout not only this thread but other threads as well. If sov isn't addressed in the right way now, it changes nothing. Addressing sov = Working toward balance. Fozziesov does not do that, it simply favors entrenched groups and puts large barriers up for new entrants. As for weighted averages, that is all they are - they show a nice clear picture of what used to be. They only become relevant when broken down and used as an incremental history to show the current state. I've been here since 2007 - still own the character, it is just not subbed and really only started posting on the forums when devs decided unbalanced, biased, unfinished and some just plain wrong changes belonged in the game.
they gone hate you now cause you stuck it to them hard bro..
eve online worshippers are so in denial about the current state of affairs that they'll run to completely different companie's game forum just to argue about how its not like eve online. but once told to GTFOH and TYABTEO then.. they come back with their silly little feelings hurt.
matter of fact this is the only community that I know of that would cheer on claiming eve is a huge success while having only 15k players online. |

The notion that there's no real sandbox is hilarious, really.

Tech 3 - http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/File:T3_Flowchart.png Not to mention all the work involved with Blueprints & Research. There is division of labour and a functioning economy in this game LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE! EVE is Real.
and lets not forget while yes eve has this, it also has the most rude, vile, vindictive, hyper-aggressive community in all of mmo gaming. its so bad here that eve online struggles to break 30k online players on a Good Day. its so obvious that the games numbers are tanking that when you bring it up in-game to season vets that they darn near have a stroke or ignore you. your game is sucking right now bro all ccp does is figure out what else to nerf while avoiding the real things that need to be nerf'd!! all ccp does is cater to the large coalitions then say its a sandbox game.. which it is NOT... eve hasn't been a sandbox game for a very long time this has been written time and time again and in every way.. eve online is not a sandbox any more..

You and I both know that the real truth is that some people's 'ideology' and false perceptions get int the way of them understanding what's real. One of my side jobs is collecting crime stats for our annual report to the Feds and it never ceases to amaze me how much perception doesn't match reality.
. People think things are getting worse when they are MUCH ebtter than the past. It's a very human trait. People turn on TV, see reports of crimes, and think there is all there is. No TV news report ever said "whelp, today was another day in which most people didn't get killed by a madman or eaten by a cannibal, now for the weather". I brains are weird to seek out negative information and gloss over positive information (positive stuff tends to not kill you) so most people think things are worse than they are most of the time. In game is no different. You (Kaarous) and I know that EVE is as peaceful and kumbaya-ish and safe and polite as it's ever been, and yet people Like Milla love to think that the reason for lower PCU counts have something to do with the kinds of people Millia doesn't like in the 1st place. To call that delusional would be more than generous.
your guilt amazes me, cause you know its very true and how eve is perceived, hec go google it and find out for yourself, im sure you'll stick to the same ole BS mess about "well eve is for a special type of player" yada yada.. fact matter is eve is losing numbers, you do not want to place blame on where its needed, you still will argue, debate about the community being one of the lowest ones ever in mmo communities (I remember when folks took pride in that btw and ccp cheered it on).. now you see they've finally taken steps to control the forums more cause of sheer rudeness of its own community.
if it were as peaceful as you pretend it to be.. then we wouldn't have much of a need for GM's and ISD's.. ISD's should be the helper troops yet they spend a majority of their time.. Keeping the peace!.
oh btw there are legitimate psycho's that have played this game in the past, racist, and the like.. but hey according to you eve online is peaceful. I guess those dudes were passing out free ice cream with sprinkles and simply misunderstood. |

There's something wrong if there's so many things you can do in the game without having to be online. Why does it surprise anyone that less and less people are online?
the truth is the fact the community plays a major role in why no one is around, its just due to the endless articles and "player blogs" about what goes wrong in eve and the risk everyone takes. that's not appealing to most gamers, not everyone wants to pvp all the dang time, pvp'ers then whine when they don't have many folks playing with them so they try to manipulate truths and force ccp into forcing folks to join null sec..
the risk of losing your stuff is way to high and getting even higher the moment those destructible stations come about.. lol. im laughing at the idea cause its like in many ways.. ccp is just giving its competition free money and players.
you folks are going to be playing in a very large game.. with only a few thousand people left and then you're going to be mad about it. |

Kaarous Aldurald wrote:Sgt Ocker wrote: Actually from my experience, it is true. In many community based games you would get banned for some of the behavior that is accepted in Eve chat rooms. (no point reporting extreme behavior to support, they never reply)
In my experience, we're far too heavy handed on some things. Even WoW, the most carebear, themepark, hand holding game out there, lets you PvP people without restraint. I once stalked a guy for almost half a day straight, killing him across several continents dozens of times, and when he reported me a GM showed up and said "PvP happens on PvP servers, get used to it." So it's really all about the particulars. I couldn't follow someone around for 8+ hours in EVE and kill them, even if they refused to log off or kept on doing things to expose themselves to me. I'd be reported, and warned for "harassment", even if the gameplay was 100% legal every time. I know this because it has happened to me. Quote: "Mean" is one of those words that takes many different forms and it is really one Devs should be looking at. What one person considers fun, is seen as mean by another. Because something is acceptable and "fun" for you - Doesn't make it fun or acceptable for everyone else.
You can be sure I do not care. This is a game, after all, not real life. If you don't like being a "prey animal" in a videogame, you can just magically decide not to be, and it's over. Quote: Having fun at the expense of others, is frowned upon in every other aspect of day to day life, yet it is seen as the norm in a game, that is for many part of day to day life. (stretching it a little, you could call it cyber bullying)
Having worked for a large scale insurance company, I can assure you that's untrue. Real life is at the expense of others. Ever owned any Nike shoes? Then you've profited from slave labor. Drink orange juice? 50/50 on that. Own an iPad? You got it, made with slave labor. Quote: As long as Devs push the worst elements of Eve to ever greater heights, Eve will remain small and uninteresting to the wider community.
And yet, the "worst elements" of EVE have been getting successively nerfed, again and again, for a decade. The game has never been safer, and according to some(including you), it's never been less popular either(by this, I mean the dive in concurrency of late). The correlation is pretty obvious, but we just have to keep blaming all those mean people for it, hmm? It can't be BECAUSE of everything that's been done to curtail player freedom, no sir, it has to be that those undesirables still have too much freedom left to do mean things. Or maybe it's because if you spend a decade chipping away at what makes EVE, EVE, what you have left isn't all that great of a game.
and welp there you have it folks. hyper-aggressive, stalker-minded players who would stalk you if allowed, sure sign right on up for eve online.. the game that welcomes these types of players.. sure we'll break the active subs record one decade in the future.. |

More attempts at pedantry. I would say "you can do better", but you've proven that you can't. Quote: But one change to the mechanics of the game doesn't make an entire section of the universe "safer".
It literally does. It stripped away one of the few methods of non consensual PvP left in highsec, allowing people to literally just turn it off. Yes, that makes highsec safer. Quote: I am going to let you believe you won this argument now. As I see there is little point in trying to convince you otherwise. i will let the words speak for themselves now.
This is called "trying to save face", boys and girls. Rather than admit he's got his tail between his legs, he attempts to snark his way out of the rout he's in.
just from you admitting that you stalk players and prefer to stalk people proves even more why folks are leaving and new players are not sticking around. its players like you that enjoy harassing players.. oh you're in .Code.. go figure now it makes sense. |

Lots of people "stalk" players. They even have an ingame mechanic for it, the watchlist. Quote: and prefer to stalk people proves even more why folks are leaving and new players are not sticking around.
Nope. According to CCP's own data, it's because new players are being bored to death in highsec, probably due to lack of conflict.
pay attention folks, a real pro psycho is on the forums. |

High functioning sociopath, actually. But unlike some who tend towards butthurt, I'm perfectly capable of drawing the line between real life and a videogame.
I think you don't, I think you have some serious issues going in real life, cause you prefer to Stalk people, without even showing any kind of common sense, you are aware that stalking is considered a crime both in game and out of game right? see its folks like you that play this game cause they're the outcast of society, community rejects that ends up killing cats.. then kids..
so it does indeed show a prime example on why the numbers in eve online are shrinking.. its really simple that players are and have gotten fed up playing with sicko's like you. |

I do not stalk people, although I have been stalked and threatened myself. I kill other players in a videogame. Quote: you are aware that stalking is considered a crime both in game and out of game right?
In game? You can follow someone around all you feel like. It's called scouting, typically. Quote: see its folks like you that play this game cause they're the outcast of society, community rejects that ends up killing cats.. then kids..
Go home, you're drunk.
what are you going to do about it? stalk me since you enjoy stalking players and harassing them. go ahead try it I dare ya |

The LP exchange rate has been devalued since then, though - courtesy of the FW brethren. Level4's and Incursions pay significantly more in Low and 0.0 Level 5's are only in low. They aren't as common to run because people like Kaarous got their concord free playground and ran everyone off.
and shall we discuss this.. how come CCP has avoided to address the issue of Level 5 missions, I mean new players see it and I noticed its NEVER brought up on the forums.. its almost as if it should be on the radar to address like they did with TEAMS..lvl 5's should be open to everyone and not just limited to one section of space.. put them into null sec or high sec even.. since incursions and FW also happen in high sec.. seems like CCP purposely avoids talking about lvl 5 missions..instead we get more burner mission stuff. |
