Против ботов это обновление не эффективно в любом случае. просто перепишут программу под новые условия. А вот для нормальных майнеров это становится критичным.

Why should I leave Delve? I’m perfectly safe here. We’re seeing _less_ traffic than we were when Local worked.

I’m ratting and mining in relative safety. But yes, people are denying me fun. They’re not coming to Delve where I can kill them.

Kinda doubt it. Like I said: we’ve been seeing less traffic than normal, and we’ve got a large cover fleet that’s getting pretty annoyed at you idiots for staying away.

Mmmhm. You’re there talking big about how I’ll be blasted from the grid, just like all the other wannabe badasses, but _we’re_ the circlejerk.

Ah well, just 1900 posts more until autolock. This is the saltiest I’ve seen the oboards since… actually forever. I can’t recall even monoclegate etc ending up with this much hurf on the forums.

… another fabulous positive from Blackout, I’d say.

I hate the change.

It adversely affects the casual player, and it adversely affects those in small groups. The PvP hunters love it, the elitist nerds love it of course, and it will least affect the Goon juggernaut. Why login for a short burst of EvE and have to set up an alt on a gate, monitor the intel channel for 10/20 minutes to a get a picture of the local traffic then roll out your main to do whatever it is you want to do? Blizzard for one will be very happy to see this change.

I will un-sub one of my three accounts and keep two going for now.

CCP will have the numbers, but I believe there is a silent majority, or a significant minority that will just quietly go. They are silent because the abuse and vitriol that is meted out to those who post not in favor of the “Local Comm Blackout” is sad.

I’m sure this post will be lost in this typhoon of a thread, but nevermind.

Any change that restricts the ridiculus metagaming of EVE is more than welcome.  
When two accounts from the same IP is banned, the game will become a true game and not a full time job.  
But i’ll admit that CCP must balance that too. They are a company not a “utility corp”. They must make some money and “us” who play from … forever must pay in some way, too.

The genre is almost dead. If we make a survey, our player base may have a 35+ yo average, which says much. Speculation, maybe but propably true.

So stop critisizing a “scientist” dev, without you have any serious proofs and just enjoy a bit of gaming, without to think that your life depent on it.
