Go read they’re post.
I don’t have any issue to paid my pvp ship. And to be honest my way to make ISK is actually one CCP totally forgot… so i m out of all this nerf.
So if you try personal attack on my gameplay to discredit me … sorry you fail… maybe try to have some intel before try it again.
All my point of view is to said we will loose player and have less retention of player. it will induce a mid term reduction of player base, and a more important of 0.0 activity.
It will result of it like blackout a dangerous moment for the game. And CCP need to react to avoid that.
After you could cry, you could trool, you could said what you want : Fact actually are on my side of the analysis so …
They don’t ruin my game. If you have read some post i have already explain, change don’t affect my game style actually beacause … CCP totally forget the part of game i use to make money.
They reduce number of player in game. And it’s very bad for everyonne. And its avoidable if they start to have a better organisation of the company for update eve.
The carebears tried to influence CCP by using that very line for every stupid demand they had for years. And actually it was true, people quit the game, because they listened to creabears like you.
This is different now. They got it. They re-balance the game economy and risk/reward of farming to address some major issues that where causes by endless risk-less farming and a boring flat resource distribution.
Smart people will see the opportunity and flourish. Dumb people will keep crying.
In reality they loose more player by theperma grieffing, by the lake of incesitive for roam alliance after moon nerf, and by applyng all nerf ask by a minority of bad pvp people … than they have loss by listen some “carebear”
Ho and stop said peopel are carebear when they don’t go in you’re way. Maybe, just maybe you need to evolve you’re reflexion.
All mechanic with no viable counter where the goal is to harass people.
In the past old wardec mechanic was one of this thing and CCP admit it.
Perma cloacky camper are one other and still in game (and people can argue, yes but it’s to coutner that or that… it’s a fact a lot of player have stop due to this mechanic).
Perma bumping was one before to.
In some other way abuse of agent locator to focus someone for days is also a mechanic of perma grieffing.
And so this 4 mechanic i quote have cost more player to eve than all change make for “carebear”.
And before you said " so pvp is grieffing" : No it’s not, it’s only when you abuse some mechanic who deny all way to counter to you’re opponent, and use it to harass. (like previous exemple one war dec for 1 week was fine, war dec for month was a good way to make people stop play the game).
So give you’re numbers… beacause for war thing we have numbers , and CCP admit it one of the more biggest way to make people stop game.
So you said CCP don’t tell us the truth ?
Actually they didn’t say that. They said it kills of corporations, which was kinda the point of wars. The predicted increase in players (by the carebears and old CCP) to this change never happened.
What happened instead was the rise of toxic wardec immune corps that lure new players in and drain them like farm animals, things we could previously suppress by killing the corp and freeing the trapped newbros.
I would not be surprised if we see some changes around this in the future now that they kinda get back on track with whats good for the game.
Ok, but you’re “number” in linked thread don’t give any ionformation of loss/win player by some or some use of game mechanic.
So all you’re argumentation is … null
Ho and more over just beacause maybe you really think what you are saying : CCP income drastically drop with blackout . But totally not a massive unsub from this bad mechnic who permit easy grieffing. totally not (or maybe it is, and you are just bad to understand how people work)
No because of the story used to make sense of the graphs.
He starts with his opinion, and then JAMS every fact through the round hole to try to justify his opinion… and then somehow, his opinion is right.
i.e… he simultaneously acknowledges COVID, doesn’t BELIEVE that it had that much of an impact on numbers and then justifies that opinion with an unsound argument.
He ignores the impact of Chinese etc. coming into the game.
His graph show impact of blackout, while he states that it had none and just looks at the pretty graph, without adjusting the figures for any external reasons.
therefore, his claims are a fairy tale.
His conclusion is that ‘bad’ carebears have left, and have been replaced by ‘good’ PvP’rs… however none of the graphs state that. They only look at the overall numbers.
In fact, if you want to counter the post you quote very easyly => Lotka-Volterra
It’s a model prey/predator, if you have use it you have predict effect of blackout before CCP make blackout.
So yes he must ignore everything … beacause scientifical evidence said the opposite of what he said.
That’s totally my fault indeed, but not done on purpose.
I’ve completely forgotten they’ve added korean and chinese to the mix.
No actually that’s not my conclusion. I didn’t make any conclusion beyond …
… “it doesn’t look like they’re leaving and if they’re leaving it doesn’t look like it matters”.
It’s a given that “bad” carebears left, even if probably just a fraction of those who complain actually left.
That’s not “the” conclusion or “any” conclusion. It’s just a matter of fact. The whole ■■■■■■■ point
of these releases is getting farmers to quit. Great if they stay anyway, calculated loss if they quit.
Later on someone pointed at the chinese and korean and I admitted I forgot about that.
If CCP balances out the loss of one type of player for another type of player, then that’s fine by me.
If CCP wants to shed a specific type of players, I guess it makes sense off-setting this somehow …
… especially at the rate they’re doing it now.
What’s undeniable is that CCP wants to get rid of farmers …
… and that it doesn’t at all look like it’s going to be a problem …
… because they’ve been going that direction for a year now, with no sign of slowing down.
What’s also undeniable is the sheer amount of nonsense coming from people opposing this. They’ll either shut the ■■■■ up and keep playing the game, or they will shut the ■■■■ up and leave. Fact of the matter is that EVE is just going to keep on keeping on, no matter what anyone says or, apparently CCP does.
I mean … maybe that’s the real conclusion of all of this.
No matter what CCP does …
… and no matter what people, who can’t even properly spell, say …
… the game just keeps moving on anyway.
