Look I’m not going to complain but after returning from a 5 year absence I am split on CCP’s push toward just non-stop ship destruction, slowly pushing any sense of non-PvP play out the window with little room (it seems) for any other type of gameplay. Eve used to allow the player to choose how they wished to play, but events like this are just forcing players down a single road of play style. PvP or don’t play.
Ironically Null is now the safer place in Eve than High sec. Join a corp, and stay within your corp/alliances territory and you can choose your own content and play style without being forced in to combat.
I’m enjoying my time back in New Eden, but personally I’m not impressed with CCP’s direction for the game since returning. However financials for CCP seem to prove me wrong and player numbers do as well but I hope to see some balance brought back to New Eden for other game play styles.
