Pearl Abyss is probably going to get more people to join that Black Desert game, but I really doubt they will carry on any of the features like Scope videos. If they do have enough brains to fully comprehend EVE before this buyout, then they might have the brains to at least keep the people that do bring us the update videos. I was always told to hope for the best, but plan for the worst. ---

Dudes… CCP will just be eviscerated,the parts sold and eve closed… Money made in the process… Result : one competitor less… The rest of the buyprice(if there is one) will be amortized for tax savings… THIS is the way a company thinks… ---

It was clear that the only thing that mattered to CCP for the last 2 years was driving down costs and keeping 1/4 subs as high as possible. This allowed their owners to get the best price possible which they have done. Could CCP continue on the antibot/isbox path and start real action against botters? One option would be to allow volunteer GM’s from in game corps who could target opposition bot fleets. Of course their actions would be recorded and verified by CCP. Seems like a great cost free plan. ---

And make bots even more prevalent to report intel to intel channels and intel tools? How naive are you? Instead of doing useless things like these, CCP just needs more security workers who can identify bots more regularly and stage the Yulai battle arena for bots on a regular basis. That will destroy bots and make people happy that they could punch them in the nuts. Alternatively you could just go out into null sec and hunt them, you know? CFC and other big groups provide shelter for the bots and no one does something about it beyond crying on the forums or reddit. ---

Both the guy with 20 capitals and the humble alpha single account relay on local channel to warp to safety. If you remove it they wont have any easy way to know when to warp out. You dont need to ban accounts. That is useless, since botters simply create others. You need to change mechanics. Remove local and players will sort the problem for you. They will even be happy about bots as they will be free kills!. And as a bonus, you will get better performance… ---
