It’s an end game crisis!
Ccp have milked us for all we are worth and are burning the game to the ground before a reset/closing of the game.

If I had a Rifter for every time I heard “Eve is dying”…

The issue was with AI. On Sisi, the Drifters AI would target logis, but that never worked on Tranquility. Thus drifter incursions were essentially farmed to the tune of 300 million ISK per hour and char, in a logi. Since PLEX was about 1.2 billion, running 2 logis in a fleet op for 2 hours yielded 1 PLEX per night… in highsec.
I was invited in the last days before removal and was a interesting experience, although a bit dull.
GREAT!!!
Kick CCP in the ball turrets for this ■■■■-up…
CCP, FIX YOUR GAME AND STOP ■■■■■■■ YOUR PLAYERBASES
That was an extremely boring read.
Bottom line, it predicts (reports) internal trade wars are shaping up in response to “player annoyance” at Drifter invasions. Nul sec regions will now prevent flow of material to/ from HS as a consequence. Bring it on.
CCP should also upgrade the Drifter AI so they do follow up on structure timers in NS. Let’s see what happens from either or both actions.

Yes, lets make EVE more NPC/AI involved in NS because that’s what nobody there wants…

Ironically, I have always wanted AI to be much less involved in the market place. My response to a nul sec trade embargo would be to therefore call again for CCP to remove the broker system so that I can respond directly by buying or selling what I want, at any price, and from/ to any person.
This does not mean switching to contracts. And you can still have the sales taxes. But, if Yamaguchi Enterprises has the 10,000 units I want, at 100 isk, I want to be able to buy them from you without first having to take the 126 units selling at 99.99 isk. It should be my choice
Similarly, if Yamaguschi San is in a corps on my naughty list (perhaps because it is based in NS) I want to be able to block you from buying from me. That sort of thing.
My separate point about Drifter structure bashing was because if NS wants EvE to be a truly player-driven economic sandpit then CCP should take off the gloves when it comes to restricting any NPC activities that might cause economic damage. If that means having more AI involvement as a consequence then so be it.

It would certainly be less big and blue if ccp hadnt attacked us with wow mechanics!
3 wars were shut down that i know of? 3 entities that are all now blue.
Thanks CCP for all the blues. Cant wait until you turn the drifters off and I can nyx rat in peace while i >pop highsec structures in naga alts.
“Wow Mechanics” Just because the Mittani keeps saying that doesn’t make it true. It’s not Wow mechanics, you’re just bitching. and no 3 wars were not shut down due to this: 1. it was an active choice by Null players that they definitely did not have to do and 2. from what has been derived one or more of those wars were already winding down anyway irregardless of the drifters. In conclusion; you did this yourselves and you have only yourselves to blame. You’re gonna burn high sec…you would’ve done that anyway…all the narrative does is push people living not in Null sec more towards CCP’s side on this. Congratulations, you’re playing yourselves.
The event I am also strongly guessing is purely temporary as it isn’t practical to keep it going in general.

that’s fake news. they’re attacking all structures on occasion in a handful of systems. it’s basically half baked code from the blood raiders is the theory
I hope that they come to hisec and play the game of attacking moon goo and then CCP adjusts the 0.5 moons and enables moon mining in 0.6. Works for me!
Good post, I like the idea of being able to choose who I purchase from and sell to, so CCP should put this in as an option.

Much safer right…LOL…
I like this. It’s been suggested before and I think there could be a lot more done in trading to introduce competition.
The second idea is easily worked around though. All it takes is 1 alt and you’d never know that the items originated from someone/some group you don’t want to trade with.
That would still work for me. Even though you could easily set up an alt, the point is you would need to. Making it a trivial victory for me. Then again, lots of players on these forums love the trivial pursuit of trying to work out which alt here belongs to which main character. Adding the option to then not trade with them alters the dynamics behind already protecting your alt-identities. Which is again linked to potential competitive advantage.
TBH, that’s pretty normal.
Null characters for example don’t clone jump just to sell on the market. They either sell locally, or have trade hub alts setup to handle the market activity.

You are somewhere between 10 & 14 years late.
Either we are onto EVE 3 if you date it by major TQ server changes, or EVE 30ish if you date it by Expansions, or EVE 6 or so if you date it by game changing mechanical changes.
In all cases EVE 2 was a long time ago.
Hard resets do not work in this sort of ‘non level grinding’ game.
Its an awful idea that would cater to RMT immensely. With that idea in place what would stop RMTers from buying 1000 units of tritanium for 1 mil ISK each? Yes, they can be traced by CCP but thats a huge increase of workload.
So if I get it right from what you said, you tell me that because RMT cheaters can do it, we should not do a game change that would have very interesting implications to player interaction. So you want to design the game purely around cheaters, seems a bit naff to me as a design philosophy.

Dont they do that anyway?
I mean you could say “the 1004562.6 isk per unit one is mine.”
It wouldnt make a difference.
