It’s a video game. “Professions” are tiered by isk/hour, then ease of access. Virtually every activity in eve is about scale of operation, fleet size, or isk per hour, or some combination of those. No activity in this game requires any real brain power. Just the will to grind, or wait patiently. So, I don’t know what you mean by “profession”. Most activities in eve can be mastered on a skill level with less than 20 hours invested. After that it’s just a grind, like every other video game. ---

I agree, it is a video game. However, I would not underestimate the complexity of this game. There are subtleties and nuances to all pursuits of ISK, and I would not assume to be able to pick those up with less than 20 hours of play time. That is what I mean by profession. It includes far more domain knowledge aside from the the pursuit of ISK. ---

> [@Aluma\_Cordoba](#): > > Observations > eve is primarily a pvp game > there are alot of people who like eve that dont like pvp > alot of people that dont like pvp, mine > you cant dps when your dead, you cant pvp in ships without mining The PVP has always been more about marketing than the actual game–most players by a huge margin PVE in Eve. And yes mining is necessary, but the reality is there are so many resources in the game at this point that PVP could continue for years without any mining, Resources have needed a strong adjustment for years-- glad to see them tackling this beast. ---

I am pretty sure this will kill eve for me. I cant figure out where I’m suppose to get sizable amount of trit in null sec. think of all the structures that are no longer viable. the funny thing is no one will need moon goo if they cant get basic mins.

Invasions in starter system affecting newbros and nullsec vets the same? Rorqal changes, cyno changes or any other nullsec changes? Capitals, Tech 3 ships updates? There’s a massive amounts of actions and changes that CCP can do that will punish, or benefit, the “right targeted” groups of people/players. ---

Why? Because most people that consider and call themselves PvPers aren’t. They are “gankers”. There’s a huge difference. The self-labeled PvPers can get offended all they want but picking on people that are helpless to defend themselves is a pretty toxic way to “have fun” or as I’ve heard lately, “add content”. - High Security space is no such thing. High security “implies” safety. All it does is change the calculation for the gankers. Character marked a criminal? Who cares, create a new one. That player is leaving because he just lost everything he had to a ganker in “implied” safe space? Who cares, there’s another worthless Care Bear where that one came from right? Whose fault is all this? CCP’s for encouraging disruptive play. Why do they encourage it? Perhaps because they like to indulge in it? Perhaps they think it makes the economy cycle? The only certain thing is that it makes the population cycle. To all the “self-proclaimed” PvPers, let the insults and degradation begin… ---

> [@Ysonoko\_Lelexandrian](#): > > Wall of generic memes is generic. > > The information they put out did not suggest they would be completely removing trit from moons. > That changes moon mining completely, not just nerfing it. If you you look through my posts, I had been asking for a while for more information. Decided to put the stations up because even if there was severely nerf minerals, it woulda been fine if trit was left in it. > Obviously I guessed wrong based on the available information, and it cost me a small fortune. A quick meme about how they told us changes were coming, while completely ignoring the other details is garbage. There’s no way I would have put those stations up if I had known trit was being removed. Not only that, but like I said I’ve only gotten one moon spawn so far. I’ve had them for a month, but held off on deploying them because I was unsure about the changes. > It’s not just a simple calculation of I got stations on x day and suddenly all 3 produce ore for me 6 days later. Even if I were to restart the cycles now, and do a 2 month maximum pull. I could still never pull enough ore out of them before others gobble up the ore, to recover the cost of the drills and stations. > > I put in alot of hours to get those 3 stations, and the drills for them. > Feels really bad to get ■■■■ on like this, after all that hard work.

None of the game devs take anything seriously these days, much less their business. The only thing they understand is getting laid off because the company is down sizing and running on a skeleton crew. It’s all fun in games till you’re dusting off the resume. What ever. Maybe CCP will sell it to one of the big name corps after it has too few customers to sustain the company. Sell it off to a chinese company that eats games like EVE up and spit them out when they’re done milking it. Real common trend for games that went f2p over the last decade. Not how I’d like to see eve go, but such is life. ---

I didn’t realize we’d gotten that far already. Yikes. EQ2 was a great game. Sony sold it off to someone that maintained it well enough for a few years. Then that company sold it off to another. It’s run by Day Break Gaming now. The game is nothing but a hollow shell of it’s former self, and a constant shameless cash grab. So, that’s how the process has gone for a few other games I loved that went f2p, then sold off. It would be a massive shame if eve went that way. This game had so much potential. ---
