Change that to “It’s only a nerf if you see it from the point of view of miners” and you have our point entirely, Well done you.
Some of us like the mining part and do the others things too. All parts of the game are there to be enjoyed by those who wish to and pay to. Just because you have an opinion regarding those who like one part over another doesn’t make it valid!
CCP needs to do these nerfs the balance needs re-dressing, i’m sure at some point in the future things will swing the other way again. For the time being i recommend people skill scrap metal processing to lvl 5. o7.
For me it looks creazy - each t1 blueprint in game follows the basic pattern of values needed - the order from old values of Tritanium until Megacyte - now you just roll the dice for no clear reasons^^ just for a change… well make the Venture strong again;-)
I don’t quite care about the volume.
Like I’ve said, people need minerals in EVE. That’s a fact.
If this means that people use less Rorquals, so be it. Rorquals are super anti-content because of their PANIC buttons anyway.
People will adjust and adapt.
Ore is still available. CCP has not entirely removed all sources of Ore. You’re trying to make some weird slippery slope argument about how Ore is being removed from the game entirely, which is NOT the case.
I don’t know if you knew this or not, but there are huge segments of the population that that think that Nullsec (and the goons in particular) gets preferential treatment thanks to their over-representation on the CSM and the fact that their activities frequently make the gaming news (which helps to attract new players). So, it’s rather ironic to see nullsec’ers (and goons in particular) complain that CCP frequently screws over nullsec and that CCP is positioning themselves as the enemy. I mean, these are mutually exclusive opinions, so someone is clearly wrong.
Of course, I believe the truth of the matter lies somewhere in-between both extremes, but good luck trying to convince either side that there might be some nuance to this discussion. Might as well be arguing real-life politics with a party donor.
Also, HS Incursioners, EC Runners, and Traders have also recently experienced changes that have impacted their income (I know because they also whined on the forums). Makes me think that perhaps CCP isn’t trying to screw over anyone in particular, but is instead trying to fix the economy and bring the risk to reward ratio for many careers back into line. But, then again… you’re probably right. CCP said, “fock NS. I’m sick of those multiple-account-having sumbitches. Who do they think they are? -improving player retention and creating free advertising for our game. Pffft. Time to take those iceholes down a peg.”
We have reduced their efficiency in mining in a previous patch, and we continue to monitor the situation for NPC mining fleets.
Everyone to high ground immediately! Tsunami of salt inbound!
90% of ore has been removed from anomalies, which are the primary source of ore. Belts produce a static amount of ore and only so many anomalies can spawn to produce ore. There is a finite limit of ore produced in game and CCP has taken an axe to that limit. I am not saying its a slippery slope, I am CCP jumped off a cliff with the ore reduction. I don’t care what people are using to mine it, I am proposing there literally will not be enough ore to support a large player base.
This is the most realistic and sensible analysis I have read so far.
I conclude by saying:
The sensation that remains is the same as always. Either the CCP is not sure what it is doing or cowardly drags the crowd into an experience whose purpose is hidden.
Normal. It has always been like that.
i think they will reintroduce minerals later… this might be just the shortage phase they were talking about… cause if they maintain it like this… t1 ships would become just too expensive no way around it!
While we’re at it, let’s also reduce the amount given out in bounties by something like 30-40%. No more 40M ticks! Just nerf the whole game into oblivion. 
so what about the people who just went to null and just bought their moons and spent their entire wallet for this “investment” only to see what they receive not worth the time mining it?
I am just putting this out there as a thought.
The moon goo going into reactions, which is the source for Tech II ships, every Tech II ship needs a Tech I ship to build off. Soon there will be a glut of Tech II parts and not enough Tech I ships to build from, so this will increase the prices of Tech I and Tech II ships with little or no basic ore to mine.
I may be wrong but I don’t see that high sec manufacturing is going to provide the ships needed for the fleets that are out and about right now in null sec, so we need to produce them ourselves and this ability is severely curtailed . This means that pvp fleets will get smaller in size, making it harder to take down the larger targets like super carriers and dreads (plus Rorqs) and therefore it will be less fun for all from the miners getting the ore to the pvp “elite” wanting to kill them.
The system is cyclic and cannot support one facet without the other, or do teh pvp “elite” think that the ships miraculously appear out of nowhere on the market for them to buy?
it would be better to do the whole thing at once rather than drag us through the mud untill all changes are in place
Is CCP doing a good job?
i belive yes is some ways and no in others. the problem is they want more people and they keep pushing industrious pilots out. and prices going out effect EVERYONE. and then wormhole which is already super rich space is getting buffed to ■■■■
No need to go to wormhole.Soon will get nerfed aswell…
does CCP keep an eye about the yield of small-scale alliance outside an big-NS bloc ? our rorqual don’t mine anymore, there less mining op for commun ore (except moon ofc) before the patch there was a small industry feeding us some dread to play with but after the anom nerf, it’s more complicated and it’s worse for supercap…
nerfing big NS bloc is good for the game but every small alliance get ■■■■■■ aswell, soo hilmar talked about ressource depletion can we imagine something like Tribute/Vale/PB and other low-pop region get a massive buff until they reach a certain amount of ore mined/day ?
Jup, more Orcas in the Belts in the W-Space …
