We have reached levels of 2006 by now and if there is no action by CCP/PA, EVE will be done sooner than later… which makes me sad, thinking about a time when EVE will be a thing of the past… ---

Here’s the thing boyos, EVE has been dying since 03. Now I’d actually say that it is the playerbase that is changing, although so has EVE somewhat over the years. We as players need to shake things up. Don’t wait on CCP. We create our own stories. We have all the tools. Players simply refuse to use them. ---

Eve Online isn’t Fortnite. Eve Online takes patience and somewhat of an education to play properly. ---

I’ve never touched Fortnite nor do I want to, I want something like Eve, but a little fast pace in a sense. But you can’t have everything. ---

The thing about a sandbox is, you are given the tools to shape your destiny, but you gotta do it. The sad part, is most players are complacent now. What are you interested in doing within EVE?
