Well, the roots of what is happening today might very well go back that far, but this huge push to turn Eve into a kiddy pool of a game is more recent. Like, if you go back to the old forums around 2017, you can see people complaining about Eve becoming too safe. But the C&P section of the forums hadn’t yet devolved into an avalanche of nerf-my-enemies/get-rid-of-UPvP posts yet.
The turn for the worse has definitely been more recent. But, what I really want to know is:
Can something be done about it?
And, if so, what?
Also, I forgot to link the nerf ganking megathread earlier. So, I’m going to go ahead and do so now.
