How would the ingame economy function under your idea?
Do we still have Jump Freighters, or did you not also express a desire to get rid of jump bridges and cynos?
As I see it, the centralised hisec markets would collapse. Moving materials in bulk would take weeks.
nice, thats the kinda stuff i like to hear
Watch the costs of everything skyrocket.
If you want to play lobby games, go play a lobby game. EVE is a persistent universe sandbox. You adapt to the game, not the other way around.
Are you truly denser than a neutron star?
More expensive ships and modules combined with exponentially longer travel times means fewer people in space to catch and shoot. Thatâs assuming a huge chunk of the playerbase doesnât simply quit the game.
Your grand âideaâ to generate content would wind up doing the exact opposite.
Every one of your ideas has been comprehensively shot down as being unspeakably dumb Mr I-Know-Everything.
i was referring to this
This isnât true. Sounds like somewhat of a fanboy with Stockholm syndrome take.
If CCP werenât responsible for our content, we wouldnât have missions, progressive DED quest chains, FW stretch goals, et cetera. We wouldnât even have a centralized currency like ISK. Players would instead be able to issue their own currencies, and would be handing out their own missions to other players. But thatâs not how the game works. Everything revolves around the content that CCP developed, and the only true open-world element in the game is the ability by players to compete over this content to decide who does it, and where.
Mind responding to the fair criticism of your absurd, game destroying system shrink concept?
Then you can argue that even the real world is not a true sandbox, as Iâm hard limited by physics and soft limited by law and âcontentâ provided by the society Iâm living in.
In EvE you can follow the script and play the provided PvE content in the intended way, but we all know itâs boring. Player interaction with other players or the environment is the non-scripted part players have to arrange/organize themselves. In as you know often unexpected ways.
Still we have enough freedom to do so, even though CCP tries hard to micromanage the emergence away.
Well apparently not, since something like 80% of the gameâs population plays the game that way, with the majority of the players who play that way who are vocal in the community in some form advocating for additions to said gameplay, and restrictions on components of the game that we traditionally consider to be sandbox-like.
Not a single one of whom Iâve heard say here anything Iâve also heard within the game itself. Which is very telling. The âvocalâ whiners are really just a very small group of malcontents whoâd complain regardless of what changes were made. On par with people who wander down the street shouting at the lamp posts.
Why would people say anything in a single-player game?
Hello DestinyâŚwelcome to the 21st century, where people talk and chat on Discord.
Then whyâd you say âwithin the game itselfâ?
Corp chat, DiscordâŚwaay more communication than on the forums. Most of the ânoobs will leave if xyz is not doneâ issues never get discussed as everyone knows they are nonsense. Those venues contain the REAL issues in EveâŚnot the totally invented ones that get regurgitated week after week by forum malcontents.
The forums do not generally represent the real Eve at all.
Most issues never get discussed because the players quietly turn off and uninstall the game. They play for three weeks, take a pause to look at their Venture mining a Veldspar rock, glance at their wallet that says 9,178,562.43 ISK, look at the market price of a Drake and the skills they need for it, and then theyâre done.
Would that scenario be an alpha clone state? Also why would a new pilot be needing a drake? Max would be a t1 cruiser for at least 6 weeks of mission running before getting into level 4 with the agents.
Perhaps the design was meant for longer than a month to complete their first 1 billion isk?
Thatâs a nice storyâŚbut you have zero evidence it is actually true. Not least because every one of us here obviously got past that alleged phase so clearly it is possible to do so.
Yep. and given how eve is set upâŚother means do not pay the bills nearly as well.
SKInsâŚfor many we donât see our ships. Zoomed out, tactical view. All I see are blips with lines and arrows for trajectory on a screen.
And they FOMOâd this to the point of pointlessnes, imo. Many skins I do wnat are now market only. FOMO to bait sales/sub I missed while away. And not cheap either on market now.
For 2 billion I could have that killer skin! Or I could have a fitted widow. The latter is where upwards to 2 billion went of late.
I donât need it now, but maybe soon ⢠lol. Or its price adjusts later for resale profit chances. I got it for a nice price so that could go either way.
and new skinsâŚdonât thrill to some. The only âI must have this skinâ I recall getting was for my Kronos. The head hunter skin of Kronos is superb. No regrets with that buy there. That ship for pve I can see it. Bastion and a 100km range of death, I can look at it then lol.
Most of that new stuff is not worth 1 million isk let alone irl money to me.
That be my view. Others may love them, which is fine. We all have out likes/tastes. But this is what makes SKINs iffy to go f2p with full access no subs.
1000 kronos pilots who must pay a sub in some way to use it. Make a skin only 100 of them buyâŚthat is 900 players lost money. My kronos was paid off 8+ years ago. NGLâŚIâd fire away and not buy skins for hours in f2p.
The immediate gratification generation speaks. 
Yeah, skins are one of the few issues for which I do have a gripe. Prices in some cases are just truly absurd, largely because a small group of people have had a monopoly on them and they are scarce. Roll on the day when we can make our own skins.
Iâm not asking for the frikin Mona LisaâŚI just want a coat of paint on my ship.
