An Open Letter to CCP from Current and Former CSM Members on the "Prospector Pack"

Communications Center General Discussion
831

One thing everyone need to also remember is that everything dies. Products are no exception and while each’s longevity will be different, the end is always the same. I’m always amazed/greatful at how long EVE has managed to stay around well past its peak. Heck even DOTA2 is down about 40% from its peak.

A passionate player base is great but that’s a double-edged sword in the long run. The :poop: show when Star Citizen’s core players turn on CI is going to be epic…and that seems to be coming very soon.

Any how, back to EVE…

well… none. cause i did come back last week after a 2 year break from the game. very exited to be able to compress asteroid belt ore directly in the orca, wich is something i have been wanting ever since i first started playing like… i think 16 years ago att this point. but hey i guess i can build 5 procurers right now i need to make some cash xD

834

That’s great.
If you don’t like this pack then sell your Retrivers at a discount or at least cheaper than what the pack offers. That way whoever wants to buy the pack for the ship can see it’s cheaper on the Market… good luck beating the pack though since it comes with PLEX and SP.
I guess it’s up to the capsuleer/consumer to choose, isn’t it?
Isn’t it how capitalism work?

the pack seems like a real ripoff thoguh from what i have seen. 1 month omega is 15 eu. the last 10 for 100 plex and a retriever… its very expensive people are better of just geting a normal plex pack and bujying a retriever that way xD i still wont ever accept generation stuff that players are supposed to build into the game, might as well never build anything ever again and just make it all be purchasable with irl money. but then eve is no longer eve

836

It’s not that expensive when you count the modules and the grind avoided, all those hours mining and hauling and manufacturing and time spent training, not counting the losses included in a gank or two while you grind to afford and get in the ship.
I’d say it evens out.

…so. you are okay with this?

838

I’m 110% okay with this pack. Matter of fact I’m logging in later on and buying one.

See my earlier posts for reasons, even though I don’t really need one to spend my hard-earned money on whatever I choose to spend it on.

839

…so if they added. say a procurer and covetor pack. effectively killing any reason to build mining barges ever again. you would be okay with that to?

840

Yes indeed I would be. I don’t see why I wouldn’t.

841

I love how the Jita protests back during Incarna were about pay 2 win and buyable ships/ammo, and not walking in stations/cosmetics

Yet 12 years later here we are, walking instations was scrapped, so was Dust 514, WOD MMO, ect, but they’re selling ships and skills for cash…

in other words. if the made it so you could buy ANY ship in the game. you would be fine with that to?

843

As long as there are no bonuses and they operate as a normal ship, I would have zero issue.

Assuming the pricing would scale somewhat linearly inline with the Retriever.

ok then. i say lets remove industry. and with that lets remove mining barges to cause i mean. what do we need those for when there is no industry amirite?

845

So you would rather pay over $100+ for a BS rather than just either build it yourself if needed? And do this every time you needed a new ship?

Does that sound plausible to you?

846

well. who is gonna build it? whos gonna mine for materials? why give a damn?

847

and a BS? i cant afford to build those holy ■■■■ xD they cost way to much with those new materials. also T2 mats i cant get myself

Miners will still mine. Industrialists will still build as they will still make ISK from the manufacture and sales of ships.
