Worse in your opinion.
FC is a business. They exist to make money for their shareholders and other stakeholders. Making money means expanding the customer base beyond a small fractional percentage of hardcore PVPers. Also, more people getting into the game (and staying!) should be seen as a good thing for everyone.
Cleary it’s my opinion, I don’t go round spouting other people’s
Whether Exordium will prove to be good or not is a different argument, one to which this whole thread is dedicated, I don’t think we need to rehash it.
You were attributing the arguments against Exordium, as arguments against change, from bittervets. As a bittervet I am informing you that it is not any or every change which I am against.
But making a playpen to start newbs off in in EvE is a terrible idea, and will not achieve what it sets out to do.
Then I just split my 30 ship fleet into 3 fleets of 10. All that would change is it takes a few seconds longer to get them all in warp…
Might be enough…
And it would do absolutely nothing to deter multibox mining fleets.
They have to get them there first, and the wolves will be waiting at the gates…
I think a lot was already moved there…
Asset safety everything to Yulai right before server shutdown and patch update. Oh the tears that would ensue…
I mean, they are already removing all POCOs that were placed, they can remove everything that was brought in to stations as well…
While all this salt is good on my 
, can’t we all wait, what another week till this goes live to see what happens? I’m curious as well…
But the same logic goes also in the other direction, doesn’t it? If you justify something is put into the game to earn more money then something else is justified not to be put into the game because it could alienate the playerbase too much so you lose money. Or you need to rework it once you figured this out.
Todays action are only needed to correct the effects of bad decisions in the past. The playerbase could be much larger had they not made several bad game decisions that led to mass exoduses. And then no one would even have to think about needing something like Exordium.
Still way too early to be speculating about the demise or salvation of EVE as a result of Exordium.
Surely now is the time to speculate. Once it is implemented we can only observe and reflect.
Yes. But I got tired of coughing up hairballs every time CCP gets ants in its pants about player retention. “EVE grew too fast.” So, what, later they could cry about it while making the game nothing more than a cash grab?
It’s been that way for a long time now. I can deal with it.
Btw, fixed it for you! 
“Why we can’t have nice things” could sum up most EVE expansions.
I am VERY lucky to have joined when I did.
Its never a good time to speculate…it always leads to disappointment. Or, if some of the outlandish rumors people are forming in their heads do come true…then i guess youll have a reason to throw rice and confetti.
Ive done this for 18 years. Observing and reflecting always reminds us of the good, the bad, and the ugly. All three are the best of teaching moments that we can always hang onto.
I can’t honestly remember a time players were throwing rice and confetti over an expansion…
Neither do i…
I wasnt talking about expansions though. 
Yeah, it’s been pretty lacklustre for years now…
