Yes. What’s confusing about it?
Nothing. We just need to find better ways to lose more customers then.

fewer people = fewer pretty much everything.
Less money to CCP to run the game.
Less money to Dev’s to make the game better.
Less people making things for sale.
Less people to kill,
less people buying things.
Blackout has helped hide all the systems that are empty.
Less is not good in this case. Quality over quantity works in many places but running an online game is not one of them. Critical mass is important. At some point other people do see the PCU and feel it is too dead. What is that number?

That’s a good thing, not a bad thing.
That is a good thing as well.
I thought that was since years beginning. But they seem to be back in HS with a vengeance so CCP needs to go clear out HS now.
EVE did fine for many years with a PCU around what we see now. In fact, many people will claim that these were the golden years of EVE.
EVE hit a peak around 2010-2013, but then a certain few devs made a certain few changes and things started to decline from there. I will not name names or the changes as we are all well aware and it doesn’t matter.
EVE has been sick for a long time. EVE has had cancer. Cancer cells are garbage and crowd out normal “real” cells. Sometimes the treatment for cancer involves radiation and powerful poisons that not only reduce cancer cells, but also make the patient appear to be even more sick.
We’ve had 30,000 cancer cells directly deleted from the host body of EVE Online, and still the tumors continue to bleed. This is a good thing. We’ll lose some healthy cells in the meantime but the great things about those cells is that they can always come back or regenerate and new cells can be proliferated.
A balanced economy = a strong game.
Balanced structures and ships = a strong game.
Balanced creation and destruction = a strong game.
More risk and less intel = a strong game.
EVE will come out better for this.

I will.
I am looking forward to EVE returning to it’s roots, becoming a more difficult, more dangerous, and darker game.

Current PCU is at 2007 levels (and going down)

And people still talk about the events of those years.

And look how high it went before Null sec greed destroyed it all. Polluting the Devs and CSM and threatening to quit at any hint of balance.
Fixing null is very long over due.

non sequitur
Or to be less twatish 
2007 events are just history, and irrelevant to health of game

Sept and Oct are the really key indicators, Aug is a holiday month.
The only people who derive anything from summer numbers are Chicken Little and his whacko followers.

Not at all.
You’re saying PCU is down to 2007 levels (and falling). I’m suggesting that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and provided supporting evidence for my claim.
Every summer, same thing, the sky is falling, boo hoo hoo….
