> [@Lugburz](#): > > you should have a scout cloaked off the other folks main staging, this is standard practice. Few groups that are used to such operations dont do this but in any case, nothing will have changed. Capital group does not even log in until the signal, you silly goose. But with this change, nobody would be committing anything unless they’re otherwise certain they’ll win. So we’ll see more skillu-trash-style dunking on brave newbies, and basically no pvp of other kind. ---

They will never release those stats unless it makes them look good, so if this gets reverted we can safely say this experiment was a failure from a business point of view… ---

> [@Pikk\_Ax](#): > > have you unsubbed yet? lol Of course, unsubbed and sub paused. (once again, PSA, you can pause your sub to avoid paying for this, by creating a support ticket) Good luck in 11k PCU trying to find a bear to drop without risk and avoiding other chickens. ---

They should turn off the API that supports reporting to killboards too…absolutely ridiculousness of it. People more worried about their “internet spaceship data” than the old “dont fly it if you cannot afford to lose it” logic. ---

Yes I think they may have had a suspicion that some players would leave the game. I suspect that they will have undershot that mark in their predictions and far more people will either not log in or unsubscribe. ---

we don t need anymore local chat in 0.0, LS and HS. we don t need anymore concord police , or just in starter systeme where newbee can begin to learn the game mechanics. Perhaps some “safe” zone at the undock of regional capitale npc station…but no more ---

> [@Pikk\_Ax](#): > > Biomass yourself, It’s the only way. Biomass and no skill extract. The only real way to show CCP you’re serious. But we all know good and well that nobody will do this and there are plenty of people coming back to the game because of the blackout. I’m probably going to add 2 more accounts myself. Local was an archaic mechanic that made no logical sense. ---

I disagree, they play the game.They know the great attachment people have for it. I believe they may have even overestimated the effect and have planned for it and hope that the benefits outweigh the costs. they are looking for new players. there’s an obvious trend to their actions on a route towards that. My opinion is that this is possibly A route in that direction. shake things up see what falls out. ---
