CCP I’m tired, I just wanted a cool nice little place to mine a bit on my evening after work, CCP gives and takes on the very next day, can you just make something? think about it really well, and let it last, 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??? you guys gave enourmous DPS on supers carriers so then you can take it back??? You gys gave us moon everywhere so that later on you can take it back??? the list goes on and on. if you make a change stand by it, don’t make a change and then try to correct your mess later on at our expense, come on, most of the players are getting tired of this give and take game, CCP please less dramatic changes are a benefit for the game, bring content, not corrections for rushed decisions, get your team sorted… CCP come on.

So Eve made it so that living in a C1-3 Wormhole is pointless now. Thanks CCP! Why dont ya just tell me to go eat a donk? You’ve murdered Wormhole life, and gave me yet another reason to not play your dang game anymore.

I have to say that this is possibly one of the most stupidest things that I’ve heard CCP doing and I’ve been playing this game since Late Alpha stage.  
They took away the POS’s and gave us the big expensive structures with lots of minerals. That was okay(ish) as the main issue I had was that you have to be online to defend your structure, but ok, we moved on. This one however is rank stupidity.  
I can understand taking away maybe a load of the high end minerals like Spodumain, Crokite, Bistot, Arkonor and this would this may balance the mineral prices but to take out ALL the basic ores is rank stupidity.  
While I’m not going to say this will kill the game it certainly WON’T improve it just make it harder to get basic minerals to build with and that’s dumb  
I would suggest taking some of the high end minerals out but not ALL

LOL all the moaning. So if you were given a real choice, A. keep the moon ore, or _GASP_ B. get rid of the Excav drones you love so much, I wonder what you would choose?

Why can’t everyone be honest for once and admit that the introduction of those drones was what lead to this point anyways? the rorq WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A MINING BOAT. It’s purpose was to be a MINING FOREMAN platform. Give it back it’s original purpose and let it compress the moon ores and boost. USe the F\*&king ship the way it’s meant to be used.

I find it amusing that the Roqual, chief of the economy breakers, is left to roam freely while normal mining suffers. Not the changes I would have made, but it will make things interesting going forward.

It’s only a nerf if you see it from the point of view of miner trash.

The game overall had a glut of minerals due to 2+ years of unmitigated Rorquals and CCP is finally taking steps in the right direction.

I’d rather sit through a month of trash crying because they can no longer be lazy and just munch on rocks for hours, than sit and watch the game completely fall to ruin as 50b isk Titans become commonplace.

I am just saying if you think ore anomalies are a good source of ore, you may have missed that change. The amount of ore in an anomaly was reduced by 90%, making them not a good source of ore anymore.

@CCP_Dopamine

With this change, will there also be a reduction in the number of NPC mining fleets locusting their way through HS? The america’s time zones are getting a lot of empty or greatly depleted belts atm; this will make things even worse.

Thank god I gave up mining long ago for something more …stimulating.

I’m saying they WILL be a good source of ore now that you’re not getting Ore from Moons.

The fact is people will still need minerals. The price of minerals is gonna climb until it makes sense to mine in Ore Anomalies again, and then people will be right back to it, mining in Ore Anoms.

Ebbs and flows of the market, happens every time.

I am not talking the cost of the ore, I am talking pure volume. The volume of ore has been significantly reduced because of the reduction to the size of the anomalies. It doesn’t matter if veld is 1000isk per unit if there is no veld to be found.

with more plex on the market that is nice but people are not going to plex as many accounts if they have to pay out of pocket it is what has helped the game stay going! I can play a game and pay for it by playing it seems fun and challeging but if i have to spend money to fund the game when we are losing are jobs and money is going to get tighter you will lose subscribers and the plex will go up in price being that you have less people subscribing!
