Alts do give an advantage if they can be played at the same time, which they can be. Are they pay to win, yes they are a form of it.
Strange that you don’t mention Plex though as Plex is also a form of P2W.
Will CCP change it of course not, people have paid for those other accounts and if they suddenly couldn’t use them they would be a bit peeved to say the least.
Don’t think there is a limit on alt accounts although the main reason for alt accounts if so you can use more than one at the same time. I’ve known players in EVE to have 10 or more, not sure if they still use that amount after all the changes over the years. In a way there is a limit in respect to how many you can use at the same time because if they’re used with only one logged in at a time they’re not really an advantage.
No doubt some will say they’re not an advantage just get some friends, although that would negate the advantage of alts on a soloist or could. It doesn’t change the fact that they are an advantage.
CCP already did something like this before, when they changed certain NPC stations (outposts) into destroyable player-owned faction fortizars.
CCP are gods in this universe and they can do whatever they like. They could even shut down the game next year if they had a reason to.
You make ‘losing 100% assets’ sound worse than it is. After all, it’s only 100% assets of non-liquidized assets and only those in a certain station. I’d lose some ships and modules I forgot to sell, and a heavy industrialist may lose a lot more than that. But even then most of our value in EVE consists a combination of your characters, the skills of your characters, your corporation, your ISK and knowledge of the game. Not just ‘stuff in a station’.
Sure, it would be annoying if I came back to the game and the station with most of my non-liquidized assets blew up, but that’s nothing compared to the total amount of assets we have as players.
Remember? I used to build them! Watching warpins insta-melt was as much fun as watching a faucet drip. The purpose was to satisfy the customer (and his paranoia).
I remember that. The corp I was with pretty much died right about that time but not by that cause. Everyone was predicting Provibloc’s demise, but it seems their commitment to an idea had more staying power than the Pandemic invaders.
Seems to be your unimaginative “go to” phrase for anyone that criticises EVE.
Then all you followers, who similarly live with mum and are invincible in their own bedrooms, pile in with the “likes”
You keyboard warrior skills are weak, and trolling the EVE forums cannot help you escape your darkened bedroom.
Defending a computer game via the forums may show some loyalty to CCP, but CCP will never repay that loyalty to you. If the game ever becomes unprofitable, they will pull the plug, and you will have nothing left to defend.
What if we actually just prefere to see the game stay as we like it as long as possible, and then yeah shut down one day, rather than becoming something we don’t like or want just for the sake of “pulling the plug” a few months or years later?
With the bunch of ■■■■ you posted as your first paragraph, that’s very ironic of you. Common now, the “yOu LiVe In YoUr MoM bAsEmEnT” speach has nothing original anymore, I’m sure a big grown guy like you can find better when he need some useless Ad Hominen to fill the void of his arguments.
This is definitely an issue, one that CCP needs to address asap. Almost every single gate and trade / newbie station in high sec space has a bunch of depots anchored near them. Hell, Jita Trade Station has a ton of them set up to create messages all around the station.
It’s like you’re traveling through another dimension.
A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.
A journey into a lag infested land whose boundaries are that of imagination.
There’s a signpost up ahead.
Your next stop,
The Depot Zone…
I only use it when forum whiners announce their departure from the game. In other words: I say it exactly enough times.
That would be my “no, go away” or no, ■■■■ off" phrase.
I am not an orphan and was not raised in foster care, so I have indeed lived with my mum. I sincerally hope that has been or is true for you as well.
That is mere opinion. You are free to have one however flawed it might be.
Bollocks, they repay my loyalty by providing me with the services I pay for. I do not expect more. When they pull the plug I will remember that this has been the game I have played longer then any other game I have ever played.
No eve is not worth it. Now surfing the forums is. I unsubbed all my accounts and biomassed all my crap. Its fun to come read all the vomit here when I am bored…after 10-11 years its sad that its more fun to read the forums then play.
