> [@z0ra\_Berg](#): > > They want to replace one type of player with another type of player. Absolutely true. CCP has been on this program for a couple years now. Replace each player that has a friend active in the game with one that plays completely solo. Payment processing, ticket handling, and community management costs steadily decrease, and eventually cost almost nothing. This plan cannot fail! > [@Ramona\_McCandless](#): > > These changes do not alienate a large player base. > > They wouldnt have done them if they did. Again, absolutely correct. CCP simply would not implement changes that a large portion of the player base is unhappy with. The facts clearly support this: ![EVE Player Pop 2014-Feb2020](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/6/c/6c82a185e08c901d96ec1252fa276b531cc00e56.png) ---

> [@Aedaxus](#): > > Thank you for your concern of new players… All they need to say, is that “it’s for new players” and it’s like they manage to flip a switch in the brains of people like yourself, turning any and all critical thinking off. Congratulations, you’re easy to manipulate. “Think of the children” is being overused for a reason. The reason is that there’s easily manipulatable morons who stop thinking about it. They will defend anything that’s labelled as “for the children” and they will eat even the dumbest reasoning behind it, because they just stop thinking. Just like yourself. Use your brain. It’s nonsense. New players don’t need this. _Only absolute idiots_ need this, which has nothing to do with new players. New players didn’t need this crap for 16 years and this has nothing to do with survivor bias. Again: Use your brain. You have one in that skull of yours, I’m sure of it. Usually you’re not that dense. What’s even worse is how you’re using the “think of the children” propaganda to make him look like he’s not thinking of the children. That’s not what smart people do. It’s like attempting to make yourself look good for “caring about children” and attempting to make him look bad for implying that he doesn’t. That alone already deserves a massive “■■■■ off”, but I don’t want to go that far, because you can do better! No one with a functioning brain benefits from this. The huge amount of people hating it is evidence enough. You’re not that stupid, so please stop acting like you are and start thinking things through again before you defend them. ---

I get your point. But keep in mind that since a few weeks I have been getting older players back in. I like how I don’t get asked for every transaction type (contract, reward, mission item, et c…) where it is. Yes people still forget but at least now there is a buzzer and a red dot they miss only on occasion. 😉 ---

Maybe if you had (insert privilege) you too would be able to know the things you only just did. It is more about people forgetting mission items, redeeming, accepting contracts. We cannot keep on hoping the new/returning players will be focussed enough not to miss things here and there. I don’t like them ending frustrated and quitting. Keep your privilege(s) to RL.

> [@Aedaxus](#): > > forgetting mission items, redeeming, accepting contracts. The mission items that you are already clearly told about you mean? Or do you mean the redeemable items that are shown not only only the character screen every time you start the game until they are redeemed but also indicated by the icons in the bottom left of your game screen? Maybe you think that having a notification in the bottom right of your screen and an ingame mail as well as a whole window you can add to the shortcut bar are simply not enough regarding contracts? > [@Aedaxus](#): > > Keep your privilege(s) to RL.
