There hasn’t been an ‘economy team’ since Dr. E left. CCP Quant did his best with it for a while, but now it’s just Larrikin, and I’m not sure the decision was one he had any say in.

You know, it’s just as valid to say:

People who like mining and ratting in relative safety: I’m having so much fun!  
People who don’t like that someone could make their own space safe: STOP ENJOYING VIDEO GAMES!!

What’s interesting is that there is an entire area of the game that has local still that people can operate in. Why not go to Lowsec? Hell, it’d be even safer there, what with the fact you can’t anchor bubbles you can’t get trapped travelling. Organise, adapt, overcome. Meanwhile, Nullsec ores and resources will increase in value due to their risk, the isk faucets in the game will be tightened, as they should be, and it should do something to counteract the inflation that has been happening due to more automated interactions than ever before.

this blackout has nothing to do with bots, so please don`t keep banging on about it. Bots have been around since the game began and ccp never did anything about it even when you reported them. This is purely ccp`s lame attempt to reduce isk making abilities in Null sec. This does not improve the game in any way shape or form, All this does is ruin communitys and social game play.

Контент должен быть разнообразным. Он не должен быть направлен только в один бок. Я люблю и кта и роумы, но и копать мне тоже нравится. Если у меня отбирают эту часть контента, то я более чем недоволен. Мало того, что за боевые корабли на килборде дается меньше поинтов, чем за за простую лопату. Как будто лопата это супер боевой корабль. Так еще и это дибильное обновление, которое полностью ломает всю производственную ветку.

What communities relied on local chat to succeed? (They can still talk btw)  
How do bots automatically dock up when somebody hostile enters system if they don’t know they are there for 200 Alex?  
This has massively improved the game for me, what is it you do that it has ruined?

Если CCP хочет дать шанс этому изменению, игроки могут сделать то же самое. Я думаю, что это все, что они просят нас. (translated by Google, don’t blame me)

Players like you?  
Which is what exactly? low skilled?  
Not at all.  
On an alpha with less than 1 million sp im able to navigate wormholes and complete relic and data sites in any region.  
I can also huff gas though no skills currently for mining and combat skills are a little low; it had less than a months skilling.  
I dont know where you seem to be failing so badly except perhaps im willing to take risks where you are not?

EVE didn’t have _nearly_ as many players, let alone bots “since the game began” so wth does this have to do with what’s going on in this day and age?

Read my post above (2 up), the only issue here is your capability - not the game.

Это обновление рушит производство. Так была уже убита Linage2. В игре остались только донатеры, которые мерялись толщиной кошелька. В итоге игру убили окончательно. Я не хочу, что бы у EVE была такая же судьба. Начало разрушения производства, есть начало разрушения игры.
