> [@Pedro\_Yaken](#): > > Rorquals were nerfed what?? 7 - 8 times??? why did you guys gave the hability for the Rorqual to be mining so you can take it back??? To drive Skill Injector demand (and thus, Skill _Extractor_ sales, which required PLEX, and so at some step along the chain, cost someone real-world money that went to CCP. And Fozzie was pretty open about that at the time. ---

I wouldn’t suggest blindly accepting changes. But suggest stopping the **the sky is falling** and **the end is near** mentality some have shown. If someone doesn’t like the changes they should provide a good reason why and suggest at least an idea that might be better. Instead of just flaming, crying, etc, etc… Constructive feedback will go further than yelling **i’m quiting my #accounts** , **this changed has killed MY gameplay** , i could go on with all the salt crying posts, but you get the idea. So far i’ve seen maybe a few constructive counter suggestion posts to the change, most of the others are criers, quitters or similar. You have to wonder how many are over 12years of age based on some of those posts. **But no i would not suggest just blindly accepting updates, do research into them and suggested future updates, look at the bigger picture, get informed and provide constructive feedback posts.** ---

The only thing that I would ask is that refining skills be refunded as they now appear to be essentially useless. Unless you’re expecting asteroid belts to make up the difference in the shortages of minerals other than Pyerite and Mexallon. In any case, this is a very strange move. ---

We are just coming to step 3 of the shortage phase, we have no confirmed information on the re-distribution or dynamic distribution phases yet. How about you " **do research into them and suggested future updates, look at the bigger picture, get informed and provide constructive feedback posts**" and let us know exactly what you can find out that CCP has not released to us yet ---

I really believe that if you take away content and industry, that you will end up like the blackout, facing falling subscriptions and meager participation. You will do what you want, just accept responsibility for what you are doing to people when people leave your game. ---

Well you must be replying to the wrong person, because I have not said “this is killing my gameplay” or “I am unsubbing all my accounts” I have reasonably pointed out that this change is unprecedented and short sighted. I have back this up with lists of historic nerfs and explanations to people who don’t understand the industry that no minerals have not always come from ore and this will bring us to a level the game has not seen since the early 2000s. I can’t suggest a better change because my suggestion is don’t do this. The problem is anyone who is saying this change is bad is accused of whining, or a knee jerk reaction, or being a cry baby. This means in the eyes of people like you no one is allowed to hold a negative opinion and we do have to just blindly accept it. ---

he might not want to…for the very same reasons I am not going to divulge exactly how i have already adapted for this change in HS. However i will say…despite changes to NS mining…over the years in my experiences of being out there on occasion…miners have almost all the time avoided the regular belts to rely on their “anoms” once past the initial the ADM grinds to get upgrades. I happen to agree with Scipio… Things will be fine…for those able and willing to adapt. ---

> [@Stevens](#): > > Do you think people would fly ships if ccp said “oh all damage is being cut in half, we might look into HP later this year” or would that basically destroy all PVP Do you not realise how dumb that comparison is? It’s not like there is residual DPS in the game that erodes the HP of all ships in the game. 🙃 ---

Not to be hyperbolic, but throwing changes at a group of gamers who are looking to this game as a place to relax and maintain a sense of stability considering current world events and not having this blog already published is really irresponsible and poor dev ops practice. The roadmap should’ve been published weeks ago when the first round of changes started. ---

Exactly! Its not like this is news, they said months ago that they were looking at potential changes. A lot of the replies in this thread seem to be “shock posting” but I think we’ll see some new changes coming up for industry/mining soon for the better. ---

Also there is something like that, its why most fights are referred to as N+1 fights. If the DPS was reduced by 50% N+1 fights would be literal stalemates. ---
