CCP is only making changes for their benefits now as eve is a game on the wane, this is obvious if you only look. It’s all about money hoarding before they fold.
The alpha inclusion was pointless AND with the citadels was actually brilliant. How many alphas went omega and bought a $200 citadel with the bought space money? Even better a protection racket for these citadels close to trade hubs.
Then had them destroyed in 10 minutes while deploying. Brilliant strategy to rake in dough before going belly-up? POS’s were more secure and better. They’re squeezing as much out of the player as possible. Paying for your accounts though playing is annoying and time consuming for the repetitive stuff that hasn’t changed much since 2003, just some bells and whistles.
I watched it happen, I felt bad for those people as they soon disappeared, at least CCP got a free payout from them. Their staff being so helpful and all.
Apologies, I was under the impression that during burn jita people were doing logi to freighters. Perhaps they repped one that was at war with the attacker.
But again I’m against making playstyles obsolete.
Marmite is gone as well as many other smaller groups. Some joined pirat, but honestly, mercenary work is an all-time low. Maybe new players are growing more and more, but it would seem most of them are leaving highsec and moving to null since policies have changed to anyone can come.
I’m sorry, are you trying to make the point that CCP is a business and needs to make a profit? Because if you are, I get that. If you’re upset about some of the changes that have happened, I am too.
If you have any helpful and constructive proposals that include monetization for CCP and player happiness I’m all ears.
