@CCP_Falcon Did you really think this is the best way to keep players playing this game?

More and more, the people who are willing to try it are finding the game to be one they either still enjoy, or enjoy more.

It could use tweaks, but they have no reason to cut this test short.

Sure the numbers do show that people are voting different and not logging in the game …

As you see the past 3 days the AU TMZ is hit the most and you see a big drop of players. Numbers don’t lie.

Those players that aren’t logging in likely weren’t players to begin with. Even if numbers are lost, it wasn’t accounts that were healthy for the game in the first place.

So you are saying that we dont want those AU TMZ players anyway, right? I see " weren’t players to begin with" , I would not play this game if I was living next to some nice beach in Australia. So you saying they all bots right?

And again the people drop armageddon!!!.. ok when u find a solid source where is clear than that drop is not caused by the withdrawal of the bots/xxx’s plexed mining accounts/people CCP is right to dont give a ****, maybe someone will start to arguing.

9876

Yep, TZ likely has a good portion to do with that higher than average drop :wink:

Or they are just logging on a few less characters now reasonably concluding the attention they need to play to run their 5 NVIs or coviters distract too much from Netflix.

So you saying that during these 3 days CCP just happened to ban over 5k bots? Right that sounds legic reasoning.

Sure, we didn’t pay sub, fought someone for sov, etc…

Keep going until only ganktards, who are apparently the pinnacle of avoiding content, remain.

If you think of Blackout as “trimming the fat” - thats exactly what it did. “Fat” is not happy.

As you see in that graph EU TZ is the only TZ that it goes over 20k but then it drops quickly down.

9885

Just as it has for a long, long time. That’s hardly an effect of the Blackout, since most of that graph is last week.

You are boring.
