So after seeing the whole EA BF2 microtransactions stuff it occurred to me.
Firstly, lets be honest. Eve is dying, people are leaving the game and CCP aren’t doing much to help plex prices so I think its very clear what needs to be changed to ensure the survival of the game.
Removal of non-consensual PVP. You shouldn’t be able to attack other players whatsoever unless you both agree to a duel. Once the duel starts you get loaded into an instance on the test server so you don’t lose anything for real.
Removal of SP. Everyone should have all skills completely trained to max eliminating the need for years of grinding SP. In place there could be a levelling system where you gain XP and can upgrade your characters (By small amounts, for example you could level up and get like a 2% increase in mining yield)
Addition of loot crates. This one doesn’t even need explaining - it’s a no brainer and has been lacking from eve for too long.
Make all systems high sec so everyone is safe!
I honestly think these suggestions will make eve great again.
For anyone actually thinking this is serious, it’s a joke. Chill.
However I do like Lulu’s idea of the tournament tools
I don’t think any sort of instanced thing belongs in Eve but if there was a way or some sort of tool where players could set up their own tournaments that would be awesome for players. Especially since they gutted the community team recently and I think some major names that run the AT are among those said cuts.
Eve just needs more new players and I think it’s less of a game mechanic thing and more of a marketing thing. They are still trying to get the alpha clone thing right; obviously it was a bit too restricted before and when they first come out the server had seen 50k people on it and there was so much hype. I’ve only been here a couple years and the playerbase short term memory is hilarious to watch. Peaks and valleys!
I’d fix Eve by convincing everyone to quit talking about the game lol. No more podcasts, Twitters, Facebooks, Crossing Zebras, Imperium News - just bounce all this negativity around and it shuts people off
