CCP, if your plan is: - Slowly move the market hubs to Citadels and increase at the same time ISK sink, - Remove the NPC stations (or remove the possibility to trade in these stations), - Remove asset safety (so we lose our stuff if the Cita is destroyed, like in WH) I totally agree ! We need to be afraid of losing our stuff. And I’m sure you have other plans for more ISK sink. I like the “chaos” you’re putting in this game. Thanks ! ---

WHY??? Why implement these stupid changes. All I see is an increase in ISK flowing to NPC!!! New CCP owners need money??? ---

> [@Norrin\_Ellis](#): > > Players will respond by saying there’s too much real money in CCP’s account and canceling subs. That’s adorable. You should elaborate on this and demonstrate that the kind of people who would unsub over increased ISK sinks (in an economy plagued by inflation) are people we really don’t want to lose. ---

Removal of asset safety will just mean people hold their value in ISK instead of having a hangar full of assets. Slows the game down. Not going to matter in the long run. CCP are looking to kill the game outside of hisec carebearing anyway. ---
