> [@Meridan\_Night](#): > > Doing hacking is not more challenging with low skills. Yes, it is. You can actually fail hacks with low skills that you wouldn’t with better skills, ships and modules.

And you’re not the one who decides how challenging hacking is. You take what you’re given or mov along. Apparently, you do like Eve for other things, so your complaint is moot. Especially considering… > [@Meridan\_Night](#): > > hacking is not part of what I do in EVE. It’s not the game play I participate in. Not sure why you made a wall of text for something you don’t like nor participate in. Everything is not going to be tailored to you likes. > [@Meridan\_Night](#): > > EVE is at its best where it’s most unpredictable. You can never argue away that clicking through the hacking minigame, as a current example but there are others, is like that. Then do whatever unpredictable content you’re doing seeing as you are psychic and know where all the defense nodes are and can predict where they are to avoid them. Or are you claiming every game of minesweep is an exact clone copy and you’ve memorized the whole board? ---

> [@James\_Fuchs](#): > > I saw your bad takes and attitude in other topics and already concluded that you’re someone’s sock puppet. No killboard also sealed it for me. So it was just a matter of time. No, Mark is correct, I played the first crimson harvest before it had hacking puzzles and when the sites were pretty much the same in every part of space. ---

You are successfully doing the Challenging content. Surely that was the reason for taking all that time skilling up and earning/spending the ISK to kit yourself out with the best? If you find it not challenging anymore to the extent that you need to complain in public about it then maybe you need to think about a new/different direction and seek accomplishment there? ---

You may have misunderstood my posts. I think it’s _good_ that there still is some challenge in hacking. I’m not complaining about that. The reason this discussion started is that Shion claimed that ‘no one wants challenge while hacking’: > No one in the history of EVE has ever asked that hacking be harder. That defies all common sense, logic and reason. which clearly is wrong, because some people (like myself) _do_ like challenge while hacking. Yes, I’m happily doing the challenging content successfully. I also think removing challenge does not improve the game. Does that clarify the situation a bit more? ---

Another thing you must have imagined in your head. And I’m okay with everything not being tailored to my likes, it would be unreasonable to expect otherwise. > [@Shion\_Ishii](#): > > Or are you claiming every game of minesweep is an exact clone copy and you’ve memorized the whole board? No, but that’s not what I find interesting either. Maybe to play it a couple of times a year for laughs, but I don’t really get anything out of doing stuff like that and it very very quickly gets boring. It doesn’t develop me as a person nor enhance my cognitive abilities. It’s a waste of time and not my thing. (Just for context, I solve quantum mechanical problems for fun and if I want something interesting. Now that’s challenging. Anybody who tries to sell me on a minesweeper game is not gonna succeed). ---

Yeah, is terrible. Just a bad and idiotic design overall. Going to sites in high sec, beginner friendly? Say hi to the guy in a maxed out BS farming it. It is trash and shows CCP gave up on making accessible new player events. ---

Have to agree. The sites seem more difficult to hack than normal Level III sites. I got to the 25 PLEX stage and decided I’d had enough. ---

Thats the reason they implemented the Frig- and Destroyer-sites. Do these, they require much less investment in ship and skills to do them quickly, no Marauder can enter and they offer comparable rewards and event progress… and there are even MUCH more of them, much easier to find. ---

They seem to have gotten easier. Still not day 1 friendly. While the even track sucks the SKINR designs I’ve found in these sites have been seemingly worth 170-500M. I am flabbergasted that people are paying these prices for this junk. But I’ll take it. ---

I did not say we are “never” suppose to fly them. I was give my advice to a player who obviously have hard time wirh fly big huge slow expensive ship as I and many other would I advise him on what I would do ( or not do in this case ) base on my limited knowledge and experiance. Obviously the big huge slow expensive ships are being use but use successfull by players who have the skills the experience and the support to use them. Not every player can and will use the big huge slow expensive ship and I think rookies better stay away from ships with long align time. > [@Kane\_Blacktyde](#): > > Why does ccp add expensive ships if you are never supposed to fly them? ---

The worst part of this event is how you need like 5 ships with you to run any given site ina system. find a combat site. you need ship A. finda scan site B Find a lvl 1 Ship C LVL2 Ship D LVL 3 Ship E it is taking forever to run because you never have the right ship for the site you find. Go back to 1 combat type and 1 scan site and then maybe a esco site you can get. Ohh and half the combat and scan sites you find are for the other team… THIS EVENT NOW SUCKS!!! ---
