So what are the options, sit holding hands and sing kumbaya while they blow up everything or run to the hills? ---

If their intention is to add tools to deal with these changes maybe those should be deployed at the same time as the changes so players can use them. If they were going to add tools it would have all happened at once. Why needlessly piss people off if you have a plan? ---

So you don’t want them to sit in space with everything they own singing Kumbaya and holding hands placidly while you add a load of green to the killboard. They are not being kicked out, they are either not logging in while this test is ongoing and if it is permanent they will be heading to safer space. ---

It might also be time to move some exceptional ideas forward like: 1. Remove dictors from the game. OMGZ, you actually have to lock something and point it…wowz. 2. Remove heavy infi-point dictors as well. 3. and of course remove killboards via disabling that in the API. People should be able to do what they want to with their pixels in space. If that means an explosion that serves as a learning event so be it. Maybe corp recruitment will move to relationships versus a spreadsheet analysis of killboard record. I know these are revolutionary concepts…but they are not new…Eve once was much better for when each was a reality. ---

you know people got on just mining before and in every other place, wtf is it you types of players want extra extra safety in the most dangerous area of space? why dont you mind with a bubble and a cyno inhib up already? why dont you mine in a pipe system with scouts out? there are so many ways to ensure extra safety net but local chat is not one that is needed or particularly good for the game at this point. Its players such as yourself that is leading to stagnation in eve, you make it boring by trying to make it super safe - its supposed to be a game of wits, not tics. ---

And honestly if youve been playing over 4 years and really still feel like you have to rat or mine THAT often you must be bloody bad at the game anyway. ---

None of the changes proposed / announced by CCP got cancelled due to players feedback from forum because they already made their mind and will implement it. What can we do? - adapt - move on to other games It doesnt matter that we are ratters / pvpers / indys etc, we all need to adapt and make a choice. ---
