Feel free to leave, dear homophobic friend.

That probably has a lot more to do with the ascendancy of the large null security blocks creating huge super umbrella’s than a bunch of miners in high security space who traditionally were only victims of ganking and corporate wars, hardly 31337 PvP. Player count is always going to be low when the game play for over 10,000 accounts is to log in for 2 hours once or twice a week, flood a system with supers and then log off.

May the hunt be a glorious one brothers. Seed the crops with their blood, may the sun run crimson and skys feast off the smoke of war.

I for one welcome our new T3C overlords.

Here’s the NS problem, they need to remove all activity from the map, since the local chat will be disabled. If I start rat on nyx, in an hour on the map I will be glowing like a garland.

Many bot aspirants will die, gnashing their teeth in vain, whilst other miners hide in dock and tremble with fear. Bob and James will work together and bring them all to justice!

Knowing CCP for all those years I will say that “axing local” can still be a hot air, and jumping from one assumption to another is a mile-long leap of unfounded faith.

I’m already unsubbed just in case, though. I don’t care much what they do to blocs, the threat of blackout already killed small alliances, so it’s not like there’d be anyone able or willing to contest them, should supercap balance be touched.

Sounds like you will need a new game plan friendo. :upside_down_face:

Meanwhile in Delve life will continue on as normal.

Your life is sad. Stop wasting our oxygen

To counter idiocy, let’s remember facts:

  1. Bots are largely unaffected, if not buffed - since they will be the only ones actually undocking, after intel bots are implemented.
  2. Miners have no fear, miners have risk/reward sheets, which makes them pursue the most profitable rocks, and those rocks just moved to wormhole where YOU will never get them.

Just one more way to squeeze more money from players.

Miners have no fear!?!? Hahahahahaha
I look up fear in the dictionary and I get a picture of a miner. Miners are the plankton of Eve. Just chew them up

This is how nullsec used to be around 2004/5. Scouts used to need skill back then and nothing more exhilarating than the element of surprise and escalation.

Much has changed in the game since then so will be interesting to see how this mechanic plays out during the trial period.

NS definitely needed something to ‘dangerous it up’ a bit; let’s keep an open mind and see what happens.

Just because your IQ is prohibitively low for mining doesn’t mean the rest of population is at your level.
The biggest chickens of the game are roamers. All they do is run from response and cry about counters any time they didn’t manage to snatch a free non-pvp kill.

And then there were wormholes, bubble-nullified ships that could tackle anything faster than you could believe, t3 cruisers with 100k+ ehp that could be nullified. Regions camped for publically available data. Covert ops cynos to make hotdropping even easier.

All these things came, and are not being changed.

in reality this will be a net MAJOR loss in accounts giving them money but they cannot seem to get that in feeding the raiders everything on a silver platter , pretty soon only the raiders are left because noone else will want to play the game under ., I’m an Ork game Dev’s that only believe in war and carnage…rules set.

Don’t believe everything you think. And your verbal attack’s is prolly the only kind of attacking you can manage

no offense they have a point. Never will there be more effort in avoiding unwinnable fights than the people happy for these changes.
