I’m pretty sure all those idiots we saw on tv rushing for the toilet paper aisle do have clean running water at home.
And if you’re talking about the poorer countries, there’s water there too, even if it’s river water.

A lot of things don’t happen where I live “like what happened in the US” lol.
At this point, I don’t think the U.S can be used as an example for anything to compare with anywhere else… Americans have lost their damn minds

But toilet paper is the common thing, people just dont wash their butts every time they poop. Needs special butt washer toilette sit model also. I suppose toilet paper stock is simpler and safer to have in emergency, because what if the water runs out, when something breaks? 
In some parts of space it will be people, in some parts it will be NPCs, but that is part of hard times people hoard for. Without it there would be no hard times.
people will buy PLEX on market or just hoard ISK because it goes to wallet. Stuff will be generally hoarded in safe spaces.

A bedet is so easily installed and doesn’t cost much more than a toilet.
As an emergency, yes. Does it happen so often that one needs to rush to the store, push and shove his/her way inside and fight with other customers for the last pack of arsewipes ?
Cant be known. The scare is often bigger than logic, and logic doesnt often work for future predictions. Entropy.
People learned to hoard, because its a survival strategy that worked.

Put in a support ticket, this game has no integrity so there is a 80%+ chance a game mod will move your stuff jita. Make the ticket close to the end of the month, they have quota they need to hit.
CCP is not a US company.
This is nonsense.
Iirc the GMs don’t even get paid.

It works irl maybe but in EVE, the hoarder finds himself unable to get to his stash after a long absence from the game.
EVE isn’t real life. Some of the reasons associated with in-game behavior and tied to real life aren’t logical since in real life there are no developers to change anything for better or worse.
I think hoarding, while understandable irl, isn’t a good response to the scarcity created by the devs in EVE. I think that taking a few days or weeks off of the game helps to deferenciate between what’s important in life and what is merely entertainment.
It was always advised here to make PLEX an asset you convert stuff into when you are leaving. PLEX is just safer than ISK.
ISK and PLEX will see a rise in being aquired.

People, nature, world is the developer.
I dont see CCP changing gameplay and items to work to reduce hoarding. It would be really time consuming and hard to balance at this point. And why? When making people grind more and developing hard times in their perspective makes more money…
That is true. Is it better to hoard in real life or in a game? 
I agree about people being the “developer”. Some would try to destroy your life out of pure jealousy. Jealousy breeds hate. As for nature, it can be an ally as well as a foe depending how one approaches a problem.
Yet it’s what they’ve said regarding the recent changes. Hoarding was mentioned predominantly. Now whether they are truthful isn’t my problem, I’m not putting EVE Online in my priorities in life to the point of getting sick when some game devs tweeks their game for whatever reason or excuse.
No one is “making” people do anything. Whether one grinds or not is entirely his/her choice. And whether it makes them more money or not hasn’t been proved to my satisfaction. I think CCP would make the same or more money without their “age of chaos”.
I do believe the game has balancing issues and the devs are simply trying to make a course correction. After two decades I can understand that’s needed.
That depends where your priorities are. To me, it’s better to do what I want to do in real life than in a game, whether it is hoarding ( for life-saving/sustaining ) exploring or achieving.
The gaming industry has fooled players into believing what they do and get in-game really matter while the total opposite is true. Games are for entertainment. Getting recognition for best PvP battle is trivial compared to, say, working for a company that advances human endeavors into space or prenatal care or saving an area of woodland from pollution…
Your post is nonsense, why would the GM’s not be paid?
Correct the company is London registered, S.Korean owned but (floated). I think some of the founders were Icelandic or something :), the old owner was but he lives in London now.
Ah, you’re right. I’ve googled some GM comment about that.
Apparently they are hired, at least they have to apply for an official job.
Wow, there’s something you’re actually right about.
You don’t even know how ■■■■■■■ rare that actually is.
I’m not aware of being wrong much in Eve, my game knowledge is exceptional, my forsight proven uncanny time & time again.
But in all serioisness Eve has a strong Icelandic heritage, Iceland still hosting its HQ despite ownership & registrations elsewhere.

Except my coments are a gold standard when it comes to Eve. You want to know what is happening in 3 to 6 months time you come to speak to Brewlar forget about the effort of getting a mole in the CSM.

Can you somehow give examples of these … gold standard level of comments?
Because you believing they’re gold standard doesn’t make them that at all.
Every carebear thinks the same ■■■■■■■ thing and they’re all idiots.
You’re not a carebear, though.
The choice is influenced by things like perspective. In perspective CCP showed, there is place for people who will grind more, and those who will resign. Those who resign will be smaller number is their thinking, else they would not make those changes…
How much of it was people using credit cards to finance what they like, and how much of player activity was the people grinding using Omega sub? Or how much of it was sold SP? Or how much of those people were those on quarantine? Those details are not disclosed. Some of those details would be hard to even extract from the players activity, like the impact of covid.
But CCP got more money, so they are reinforced in some of their plans at least.
Noted.
Still, the choices are there. Grind, pay real money or go away. That’s three perfectly reasonable choices given to players. And those choices can apply in a large veriety of different aspects of life.
CCP is a corporation and dealing with them is like dealing with any other company: buy the product now or work and save up to buy it later ( grind for cash ) and if that’s not acceptable then go away. No company is going to make their product available for next to nothing just because some people simply “can’t live without it”.
CCP says “take it or leave it” and there’s even a choice in that. No one says one HAS TO like the choice.
Thanks for posting that graph.
I see that CCP’s income fluctuates betweent “by IP” “by region” and “by platform”. There are highs and lows depending on the year for each of those criteria.
Right. So gauging CCP’s yearly revenues and comparing them causes a real headaches without the numbers that CCP isn’t publishing… None of our business, literally.
They got more money so they must be doing something right.
Or are you suggesting that the devs are ripping off players and stealing their cash while laughing all the way to the bank?
Who forces players to pay for Omega/PLEX? Would the answer be “no one” or would it be that a game/devs
somehow forces people to pull out their credit card ?
