“Sandbox” doesn’t mean that a player can’t make terrible decisions.
‘Sandbox’ doesn’t mean that the game design needs to cater to the interests of highsec miners like Vasalinda Fingerbang, Dorkus the Blumpkin King, and Adolf Shitler.

You can make terrible decisions and still not play the way OTHERS want you to play. If someone wants to mine afk in a paper thin hull, it’s not the wrong way , just not the smartest one. Being a wardec spammer and new player farmer can be the smarter way to have the shinny green skill list , but nuts not the right way to play either. There’s no such thing as right or wrong way to play when we play a sandbox

I’m saying the ‘bleeding’ didn’t get any better after the changes. It got worse.
If the primary motivation for changing wardecs was to stop the detrimental effect it had on player retention, it was an utter failure. Not that it caused retention to go even lower, but that it plain and simple utterly failed to do its primary job.
If it in any way succeeded in its purpose, there must have been some catastrophic retention issues caused by something else. But no one knows what that could be. And on top of that CCP, whilst happy to bask in the success of their economy changes and release data they wouldn’t normally reveal about how players think the economy is better, are keeping things close to their chest when it comes to player retention.

The “right way” is not with regard to the chosen activity, but the method used to engage in it. Just as you said, mining AFK using a paper-thin hull is not the smartest way to play. If there exist alternatives that are smarter, then the least smart way is objectively the wrong way, because literally every single alternative is better.

I represent you by proxy, and my interests are YOUR interests.
Well don’t remember sign anywhere making you my procurer.
It does not matter what you remember, think, or feel. I know what is best for you, and you cannot be trusted to make decisions for yourself. The fact that you live in some kind of fantasy galaxy of moral relativism is proof that you cannot tell the difference between right and wrong play, and for all intents and purposes you are in-game considered incapable of conducting your own affairs. I will strive to help you enjoy this game.

Bla bla bla ( post more code ■■■■ talk here) just stop crying for devs to shape the game on your benefit. As stated before , if you want someone dead , aim straight, don’t ask for bob to teleport the target in front of you

We’re not trying to get the devs to shape the game to our benefit; we’re trying to get them to stop touching it.
Do you know how the game was like 10, 15 years ago? It was nothing like it is today. They’ve removed or restricted the grand majority of avenues for PvP and piracy over these years because players like you complained very loudly.

y don’t even know what you talking about , I never made a single thread about changing game mechanics, and if you not happy with game as it is now, go play something else. Adapt or die is what you say to new guys right?
We are doing quite well, you are the one we are worried about.
If you are sooo well, why y guys dropping so much tears asking for game changes?

Relax, that was tongue-in-cheek.
Why do we have to adapt to every change that CCP implements in favor of the safety blanket crowd, while they don’t have to conform to the same standard?

You are wrong. recent changes bought way more danger to hisec. triglavian scouts, and now triglavian invasion just as example. plz tell me recent changes that made the game safer in hisec.
Those are PvE changes, not PvP changes. Essentially, new gameplay features and additions.
Look this thread achieved its apex when my glorious portrait, like that of Dorian grey, Nay, Like the mona lisa itself, was portrayed for all to stare into and amuse themselves endlessly.
I motion the thread be closed at said apex, and retitled to “the Glory of House Atreides.”
Because inbreeding takes a thousand generations to achieve this quality.

Fine, last PvP change as I remember where reducing resistance modules efficiency, and raising close range guns damage. Guess what it’s more danger
