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 wouldnāt suggest blindly accepting changes.
But suggest stopping the the sky is falling and the end is near mentality some have shown.
If someone doesnāt 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, etcā¦
Constructive feedback will go further than yelling iām 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 iāve 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 youāre 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 āthis is killing my gameplayā or āI am unsubbing all my accountsā
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 donāt 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 canāt suggest a better change because my suggestion is donāt 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 toā¦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 sayā¦despite changes to NS miningā¦over the years in my experiences of being out there on occasionā¦miners have almost all the time avoided the regular belts to rely on their āanomsā once past the initial the ADM grinds to get upgrades.
I happen to agree with Scipioā¦
Things will be fineā¦for those able and willing to adapt.

Do you not realise how dumb that comparison is?
Itās 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 shouldāve 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 āshock postingā but I think weāll see some new changes coming up for industry/mining soon for the better.

So it is fine if someone else game play gets reduced by 50%, but if it happens to you that is stupid? 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.

To reiterate my previous post, we are in stage 3 of the 5 stage first part, and this is nearly 5 months in. The good stuff may not be for another 6 months to a year
