> [@Orca\_Platypus](#): > > 3 months, 22k period average. The way EVE Offline averages the longer periods always makes for a higher average figure, because it drops data points. That said, I do see one worrying trend in the MER, that Velocity of Isk graph isn’t a good sign. ---

the funny thing is Star Citizen will probably still be around long after eve is gone because somebody there knows how to get people to buy ships that cost the same as a car payment or more in some cases. More and more people everyday. I feel like they (CCP) didn’t like the way I play so there showing me the door. when its time to go ill try not to let the door hit me ---

Null Sec has been broken for so long and the risk vs reward needs fixing. It is as simple as that. As to the player drop another 8000 accounts were banned this month and with the release of WoW Classic, which has millions of players you expect a drop. ---

It does take a special kind of person to comment negatively about people who live in the most dangerous part of EvE, Wormholes. Especially when they live in the part of EvE that was safer than Hello Kitty. ---

> [@Mark\_Marconi](#): > > Fixing null is very long over due. Fixing null won’t ever happen, there’s too much inertia in the large groups that cannot be overcome without a total reset.

Would sort of believed that pre black out but now wormholes are one of the safest places in EVE. I lived in WH space and really LowSec was scarier in my opinion. Post Blackout WH space is one of the easiest places to be. Can close and lock the doors and keep people out for 4 hours and then reclose. No one can cyno a fleet in from a ways a way. Limit for how many people/ships can gate in. Any take down plan has to be a multi month affair. There are lots and lots of empty WH systems to move into and if taken just find another one. Fewer people playing is not good for the game. Need to get the departed to return and new players to stay. Nothing at present is achieving that. Just making people go to their sides and looking for salty tears. Will rip the game apart. We all loose. ---

Considering that WH are still a lot more dangerous than Null, all you have proved is that you should go live in a WH for a year before even thinking about commenting again. ---

Funny but i made more isk with far less risk in 2 years in WH than i ever have in nulsec - Though i do admit, living in WH became pretty boring after a while, you can only shoot so many NPC’s manually before it gets really, really old. Which is why i ended up leaving As long as you do WH things (closing holes etc) before spending 3 or 4 hours shooting NPC’s that literally spew isk into your wallet - It is easy play. ---

Wormholes are more dangerous than null sec in what way? You can literally close off all entries to your ratting system and no one can come in to spoil your party. If you so desire, you can even built capitals in wormholes that no one else can enter with capitals. ---

You have never lived in one have you, if you had you would know what you said is not so much false as useless. Yes you can close the current holes, not knowing now many people you are locking in inside the system with yourself. ---

What does it matter? You have your PVP fitted fleet with you for the PVE in any case. It’s your home system/system connection after all, where all the people from your group are residing and are ready for PVP. This also does not make WHs more dangerous than null sec as you do not know how many people are out and about hunting you there either. You did not know that before Blackout and do not now. Next myth? ---

I will admit I am not going to bother, you just suggested locking yourself in with unknown number of hostiles but do not seem to understand the fact there is no way out makes it more dangerous. Those invaders can also keep closing the exits so you cannot escape. So you have no backup, no fuel, no nothing. But you think hello kitty land is more dangerous. Go play in WH for a year and then open your mouth.
