More facts would be fun for us. But CCP are capable of gathering data and steering the game as they see fit based on that information without including us.
This is infact the norm for the gaming industry.
These arguments we have, and of which i am frequently a part of, is a dance that almost exclusively goes like this:
Carebear: Make the game more safe cause pvp is killing the NPE.
Everyone else: All the evidence suggests otherwise.
Carebear: literally makes ■■■■ up.
Everyone else: links afore mentioned evidence.
Carebear: the evidence is false/out of date.
Everyone else: is there better/more recent evidence?
Carebear: why are you trolling my thread?
