That’s irrelevant if their own data shows that these people are right. The MER of the last 4 years have shown every single month that these people were right, but CCP gleefully ignored them.

Great news
Unfortunately for you this is a business that wants to attract and retain all playstyles.

Yes agreed and ultimately none of us providing feedback here can know what the outcome will be. However rest assured that, much like Blackout, if people stop playing, it will be reverted.
I’d suggest you pucker up as you’re in for a rough ride

Besides, 99% of all the arguments here are Null bears vs High bears arguing each of them has it harder.

CCP Please stop forcing bad gameplay…
The reason almost no one uses ESS right now is because the only thing you really gain is LP… you’re taking away LP and making the ESS mandatory…
Enforcing bad gameplay does not make a better game.
It won’t bother the botters. It will bother the actual players…
please re-think this or at least how this is done…

I agree… looks like a lot of changes to 0.0, and mostly nerfs
but on the other hand you have people who complained about few updates/ changes, can’t make everyone happy
The simple solution to ratting supers, is Acceleration gates on anomms that restrict to Subcaps. (or whatever level is acceptable, maybe ratting dreads are ok? i dunno about this one)

on average, i get 1 neutral an hour roll through the system i rat in. if i’m not on the lookout constantly, i can easily lose my ship. Good roamers can be in your anom within 60 seconds of entering local. if “krabs” are not constantly on the lookout for people entering system, they can easily destroy them.
The fact that kills on them even exist, proves this.
ok now I know you’re just talking out your ass with this part. sit down krab and don’t try to pretend you know what it’s like to hunt ratters.
Oh i don’t hunt them, i am one, i have seen them land on grid within 60s of becoming visible in Local. Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t
Sounds more like you don’t know how hunting works. Dscan is not witch craft and a wide array of systems are easily surveyed within seconds as long as only less than a handful of anomalies and anomaly types are actually worth running.
So what? 60 seconds is an eternity. All this says is that you have to actually play the game, not farm in the background while you watch a movie.
There needs to be more mechanics that passively disable MWDs, those things are frustrating to fight against, and incentivize more Afterburner use.
It’s hilarious to hear a krab trying to tell a hunter what hunting is actually like.
CCP loosed money because of this. I was ready to buy the 12-month subscription with the 15% saving. I was planning to do this for my 2 Omega Accounts. Instead I canceled one subscription and will do with the 2nd in a few days. I will not immidiatly stop playing, I’ll have a look on it and when they won’t reduce the nerf, I will decide from time to time to stay or leave. Actually the chances are high for a leave.
So, well done CCP, first money lost!

If you’re genuinely struggling to connect the dots:
-
They’re not removing ratting anoms which suggests they still want the ratting playstyle to remain. Indeed if ratting does stop, as I suspect it might, these changes are a total failure as the plexes and banks are entirely dependent on the playstyle continuing.
-
Separately, take a look at the recent dev blogs and Twitch streams where CCP explicitly talked about wanting to get Rorqs back out in space mining. Surprised quite a few players to see that, but was totally expected from my perspective.
-
Finally the multitude of pve centric patches they’ve released over the years.
CCP is a business that wants to attract as many subscribers as possible. It’s literally their business model. That means appealing to all playstyles which you can see from the above they plainly attempt to do.
Stop being obtuse.
Ok guess thats why they not only screwed Solo (ECM, Quantum Cores) but actively said thats why they did it (Cores).
But sure, they are encouraging all playstyles, you just dont feel solo industry is a playstyle vOv.
I´ve been told that “entire alliance should work on a titan”, and if so, solo players barely should own anything bigger than an astra

Tell that to the chap who thinks CCP is catering to all playstyles.
