> [@Nicolai\_Serkanner](#): > > You guys really want to destroy this game, don’t you. Try not to think of it like that. This pushes moon goo up in price, pushes the price of t2 production up and minerals. Invest any isk and you’ll make a killing. Also, pirate faction BPC’s are going to go up. Hopefully will kill off a lot of t2 things. like who doesn’t want to fly a rifter forever. Edit: : Look at Morphite prices. already gone up 2k per unit so you should already have made a significant profit ---

PSA: with support ticket, you can pause your subscription to not waste any omega time on this bs. This will effectively let you “unsub” faster and have some time for 6 months later when this bs is history. ---

I love how it always begins with denial and rejection but than a week later we adapt like we always do. If you like the game you will stay with chat or without chat. Yes removing local will make null sec more dangerous than wormholes but so be it adapt and overcome or be the weak link and quit. In my opinion the more they remove the tools that help people analyze behavior without interaction with the game the better. ---

I will not login to the game during this time in objection to what CCP is doing. I hope all of you do the same. CCP has done some really stupid things through the years but this takes the cake. If this becomes a permanent I am leaving the game. ---

> [@Francis\_McLean](#): > > why not just play another game that doesn’t involve PVP if you’re such a risk averse carebear? risk-averse is the word for chickens that are subbing for this to hunt carebears - they can’t do it unless the bear is served to them for free. If it’s regular pvp they were interested in, it was always there, no need to sub for this. But no, only when nullsec is becoming 100% safe to gank, they come, and I’m the risk averse carebear? I’ll play some real pvp game in the meantime, not pve with spectators like blopsing bears is gonna be. ---

Statements of this type are stupid my friend. PVE is what drives this game PVP is a result of people doing PVE to create assets to use in PVP unless you like to turn this game into a online shop that sells ships for PVP for real money. ---

PVE is what drives this game PVP is a result of people doing PVE to create assets to use in PVP unless you like to turn this game into a online shop that sells ships for PVP for real money. Exactly, so reducing pve will reduce pvp. which is what is happening, I’ve not unsubbed so to speak. I have cancelled and I’ll plex from now on as exploration is still silly money and can do it in under 5 hours ---

So nearly 5,000 comments later and not a single repsinse from CCP to acknowledge, let alone address, any of the concerns raised (regardless if you agree or not). Not to mention the initial annoucement right before a weekend and now go live on a Friday, it all sorta smacks of the “don’t care what you think” attitude (which as a developer they have the right to do). But CCP you’ve done this before and it went badly wrong. 13 years I’ve played (90% in null) I’ll keep playing after this and see how it pans out but if it’s a major disaster you better back it out or address any issues fast and not take your usual years to fix things ---
