Lol you say this like people will stick around to be crapped on by a game they’re paying for haha. You already can see a drastic drop in players logging on. What do you think CCP (and the company who owns them) cares more about: making the game fairer for all the whiny roamers or the almighty dollar?! Hhhmmm …

It should have been a full blackout, if they were going to do it at all, but they didn’t. They left that info in, because their real objective is apparently destroying everything so that the people with completely imbalanced wealth would have to empty their pockets. Well, it’s not going to happen that way - this will mean total destitution for the smaller corps while the rich with their umbrellas get richer.

It’s not bad at all if at least 50% of the current isk leave the server…

So you’re saying that an endgame location that must be defended by players to make it safe is requiring players to make it safe? If you’re trying to PvE in this location you either need to be prepared to PvP or have your PvP alliance defend you. It’s the way the area was meant to be. That’s why the area is so flush with valuable anoms and rich minerals.

I spent 30 minutes in a null system earlier doing relic sites on DScan with guys AFK Ratting… Decided to go home and get a combat ship. Killed an AFK Gila…

If they d scanned once theyd have saw me… IF theyd have checked probe window for new sigs they might has suspected a new wormhole…

But no. Braindead AFK Ratting and complaining when shot at

I keep see this no local = WH space. Vastly different. Come talk about it when you wander into Null but the gate behind you closes and you spend the next hour trying to scan your way back home.

Or when the safety of the cap umbrella disappears

WH and NS are different game mechanics. Why equate all under one

Seriously, screw you CCP.

After the first few times large groups jump on ‘bait’ I’d imagine they’d be a bit more reserved jumping on every smaller group.

The Intel change also impacts renters ability to operate.

Dscan is pretty worthless for bots. Any and all ships that aren’t other bots will havta make them dock up since they can’t get names or standings. Which will happen A LOT. No local alone will reduce the active hours of nullsec bots across the board and probably eliminate many as botters get frustrated with poor effectiveness from constant dock ups.

It is disappointing to see such a minimal level of feedback on this thread from CCP and the CSM. It feels like the concerns raised here have as you describe, already been projected forward by the smartest people in the room and the lack of wider engagement by community managers and player representatives gives weight to opinions that this ‘change’ has been decided upon unilaterally.

The question has to be asked, why does CCP not listen? What is the point of the CSM when there are so many critical instances of its use as a feed back mechanism underutilized?
