Maybe at some point they will design well thought features even beyond gaming history which attracts more ppl and increase fun/hour of player base.

A lot of games have already found that achievements, log in rewards and other extrinsic motivation can attract lots and lots of players and keep them happy. It’s a fantastic and very efficient design as it requires very little extra features to add hours and days of extra content to keep people interested.

You’re so pessimistic man just cheer up! I do believe in Ccp and the future of Eve Online. It’s gonna evolve into something that anyother game can’t match up with. Just they can add features uniques designs even beyong our imagination. I’m so optimistic hehe.

Lol, you may be right about that.

I hope so!

But I believe CCP can do that by making the good elements of EVE even better. Not by copying cheap bad elements of other games.

Calm down miner. It’s a sandbox, you can do anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Do what you want, don’t do what you want. Just calm down, we don’t like bot aspirants who mindlessly feel obligated to grind ad nauseaum. Grinding is a choice, your choice, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Thanks god, find someone like minded!

I get the idea that my point has not come across. Let’s try it again.

I like EVE as it is now. Where things are done for intrinsic purposes. Activity tracker stats and achievements add extrinsic purpose. I don’t want EVE to turn into a game where people are driven by extrinsic purposes, because I’m not interested in playing that sort of game.

Did you notice that Eve Online universe is everchanging? Whether you want or not it’s getting enourmous update leads people to get adapted to it. Do you think, you could like it if things were as the same as it’s in 2003? As human-beings we’re capable of adapting everchanging thing, it’s evolution. We put some mental effort and adapt to it while enjoying the process. Life is already ordinary, let ccp to add something unique that everyone is going to enjoy.
Maybe you could like things like grinding, you say it gives you purpose on something else. What if other players want this lovely universe to change even further out of our current imagination and got lost within it, in order to escape our reality?
I don’t ask much. If there would be rewards in tracking system something you would love to follow, couldn’t hurt anybody right?

Oh sorry, @Gerard_Amatin didn’t noticed I already replied you I dont get notifications on thread I posted. That’s confusing to me but still I wanted to add things to get you consider these type of changes further.

Skins or apparel as a reward ain’t so bad. But it’s still pushing players to grind for reasons that are extrinsic to the grind itself.

Welcome to eve online o/ It is already an grinding environment. Why don’t we add a new element to have a goal ?

Because the intrinsic goals make the universe feel alive with goals that make sense.

Extrinsic goals like ‘achievement rewards’ are a

• very cheap way to add more goals
• without improving the gameplay,
• that take away immersion as it adds motivation to do things that make no sense from a gameplay perspective,
• and has a good potential to mess up the economy and industry for people who want to create stuff for ISK, rather than pay ISK to create stuff to unlock achievements.

I’m all for adding new gameplay and adding new goals. But please let those goals make sense in the universe of EVE.

Any game developer can add achievements for ‘complete this game 10 times’ to multiply the replay value of the game by 10. Does it add content and thus make the game any better? No.

Add content. Not achievements.

Eve is a sandbox. Make your own goals.

Mine for the sake of mining and because you want to. Not because CCP says you’ll get shinies if you do. That’s what themepark games are for.

Eve is a living breathing player driven sandbox with a real working market. Ore has genuine supply and demand on the market because it’s useful within the sandbox. What you’re asking for would undermine that.
