LETTER TO CCP Volume 2

No, actually, it says “CCP needs to do better than this if they actually want to improve the game”. Sadly that doesn’t fit your “carebears suck, PvPers are the master race” narrative so it’s not surprising you didn’t understand it.

Theoretically this is the case. CCP always says they’re doing things to theoretically, “improve the game”. In fact, the nullbot AFK ratting for endless ISK, the Rorqual, and Orca changes etc., were all made to “improve the game”.

You can make it the “player’s fault” for “not properly adapting” and “instead choosing to do nothing but complain”, but the fact is, if the game economy gets bent out of shape, that is on CCP and not the player.

You keep trying to make it about the “players” because a few dozen whiners come to the forum to cry about something. That’s much less than 1/10th of 1% of players.

Look at the current changes. A couple dozen whiners, and everywhere else, miners saying “I’m mining much more than I used to”. Less than a week in and virtually everyone has adapted and is making more than before. And they’re less gankable while they do it, for the most part.

I see a number of posters “drinking the sugary solution” and buying in to CCP’s devblog words without properly evaluating the actions and results. Much like CCP themselves.

So tell me, and please use references to actual statistics like the MER or published CCP data, just what did Scarcity “fix”? Why is the economy ‘unfucked’ by making less gankable miners mine more?

What portion of the game is made better by less production, expensive ships, less destruction, more mining, increased Null ISK farming, and fewer players logging in?

Because to me, all I see is CCP, as usual, making a lot of noise about “fixing” the things that aren’t the real issues of the game, but are easy to make changes to. And leaving core elements of the game (like PvP) to rot.
