This again.

There are more today, though its not like the ESS thing has been around that long and this is specifically about ESS and filaments being anti-PvP.

I get that you insult me, but you’re shitting on people who are blue to you and people who pay for your stuff via renting?

If they are developing, they sure as hell aren’t using agile or scrum… Waterfall might be more appropriate, since everything is going downhill, despite this people are still posting overly optimistic pieces [State of The Game, 2020 Edition - #164 by Ghost\_O\_Mo](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/state-of-the-game-2020-edition/281992/164) that purport otherwise.

Because nerfing the rorqual multiple times wasn’t enough?

Like nerfing the supers several more times so they no longer print 500 million an hour? Hang on, doesn’t TAPI allow ratting in supers?

> Just because the changes hurt carebears in the short term (btw, the devblog says this kind of shortage is only temporary while they work through the bloat) doesn’t mean they’re “moving goalposts” or “regularly dropping the ball”. They’re developers taking an unprecedented action to save the game that’s been filling up with garbage for 3 years.

Oh this is rich, ‘unprecedented action’ in ‘unprecedented times’ sounds like some BS cooked up by a BR team. CCP have made some epic mistakes and they have only themselves to blame. What’s TAPI’s plan on paying for fortress delve 2.0 after the war without having care bears to make isk? Or is everyone going to roll into PH and just do mercenary contracts to fight each other?

I’d rather get your fingers out of your ears than put words in your mouth, but its not like I’ll cure your ignorance either way.

Back up a paragraph. Hurting care bears is okay and CCP is not dropping the ball, but the mistake of blackout is all forgiven because they are just human? Give it a rest. CCP have some really smart people working for them and a player representative body in the CSM that no other game has, yet when CCP get told that something is a bad idea and they do it anyway, and muddle the data with a bunch of login events, when it cuts into their bottom line, that’s just a little flaw people should overlook?

Tried it when I first started. Tried it again on a new character when it was this tour on rails. Didn’t like either one and both just result in the same hand off to career agents afterwards.

Oh CCP knows resource wars and blackout were bad ideas. The people who should truly be ashamed are all the miscreants that asserted blackout was so going to be so good for the game, then a fortnight later were complaining because there was nobody to fight that wasn’t operating under a giant super umbrella.

> [@Scoots\_Choco](#):

> What’s worse is the implication you’re trying to make here that because Resource Wars failed, CCP doesn’t know what they’re doing (protip: most people don’t), and thus CCP should instead listen to random kids on the forums.

I’ll take random kids on the forums over shills on reddit any day. This forum exists to give people not in the CSM a voice and all too often your interactions on this medium are nothing short of devisive, ignorant trolling, including of your own blues!

Go look up those zkills yourself if you think they are made up. No?

This one too?

And this is very frustrating to see.If Theft is this easy, why would people be productive if they could form a fleet and have a fast battleship in it, and steal stuff from other people, and just filament away, back into trig space to cash in their bonds?

Or that?

Don’t warp too far or you’ll fall off the edge of Eve into that spot labeled “That be dragons”, right?

Fewer trolls?

Have you tried not being a Troll? Was CODE closed the day you went looking for a corp?

Aren’t you in TAPI? Don’t they have renters? Or does your myopia extented to your own back yard as well at that of your neighbours?

Whats the plan on funding SRP without all the renters to do all the work for it?
