I do regularly, not sure what relevance this has to literally anything though 
Because it deserves it, i’m sorry that we don’t live in a game where we have to agree with every bad take you have but this is life, welcome to EVE

Can’t find you in game or on Zkill.
Since you don’t play the game, I’ll explain a few things to you. CCP has implemented complex mechanics that require a rather precise configuration of numerous variables be optimized to achieve success. The number of variables results in a probability space prohibitive of finding an optimal (survivable) solution before going broke. CCP was able to evolve the game in this manner precisely because SISI was available to players to attain a working solutions amongst numerous variables without first going broke. Your 6 step plan is specious.
It is de rigueur for antagonists to willfully deny the obvious. Especially for you because it costs you nothing, you don’t play the game. Start a YouTube channel and let’s see you work yourself up to Tier 4 Abyssals from scratch. You will go broke. There are too many variables. Losing a dozen Gilas at a billion isk each whilst climbing a learning curve with inadequate compensation will stop you well short of your goal.
I can see the concept of ending access to SISI and the benefits, they are in plain sight. I can also see the downside which in typical Eve Forum style is being willfully ignored whilst the protagonists of retaining SISI are mocked and denigrated.
I had several initiatives waiting for access to SISI. Tier 4/5 Abyssals and solo FOB assaults. Failure on Tranquilty would be far in excess of a billion isk each repetition and that’s not something I will find enjoyable or worthwhile.

Problem exists between keyboard and chair, no one else has had a problem looking me up on ZKill or in game.

Clearly you didn’t search for them.

We get it, you don’t like losing stuff. It’s part of the game though, and why Sisi should not be used for such things. Destruction fuels the economy.

Ahh, I miss took “I” for an “l”.
Ok, so, you play with small ships. I can see your worldview fits your world.
Care to address my points now…if not that’s also probably consistent with your worldview.

Whats the relevance?
The size of your ships have nothing to do with accepting that loss is part of EVE, why play the game if you’re going to sit on SISI and practice things without risking anything?

Small ships. Small search cost of the probability space.
Oh and “Eve is not for you” is ingratiating, huh? Where I come from that’s an insult. So, don’t be disappointed. Be honored I’m taking you seriously. Think of it as “checking” like hockey or “body” like basketball. Nice people are devoured here.
Is that a “No Hans I will not respond to your devastating critique because you are talking rough to the Eve Forum regulars.”

Saying that something isn’t a good fit is not an insult. We all can’t be good at everything. Having ideas challenged and debated isn’t shutting people out. It’s just that, a challenge or a debate. People get eaten when they start taking offense to encountering any push back.

Me telling people a game isn’t for them when they’ve explicitly avoided playing it — and are complaining they can’t avoid it any longer — is only taken as an insult by the terminally, insufferably entitled. Everyone else gets it and will do their testing on TQ, carefully and skillfully.
Play games you enjoy.

I get your point.
My point is that’s not how the game evolved. CCP introduced FOB, Abyssals, Key sites, etc with highly complex solutions because of the numerous variables. The compensation for completing these sites is notionally low, but not when taking into account the risk avoided by having SISI present to work out solutions. So now we have numerous in-game mechanics that are not worthwhile to pursue because the compensations is too low to search the the probability space without going broke first.
I’ve lost billion isk Gilas in Tier 4 Abyssal sites AFTER testing on SISI. But don’t cry for me Eve, I’ve made that plus more in other parts of the game. But I’ll probably never progress in Abyssals past Tier 3.
And I’ve done Abyssal Tier 5s with hardly any losses with no help from Sisi or knowledge from others. Your experiences is not everyone’s experience. Most players will have the benefit of knowing fits that work from those who decided to risk it. Be it via Content Creators, corpmates, EVE uni…the collective knowledge of the community will help those who need the extra help. A lot of those resources also didn’t necessarily use sisi either. The assumption that everyone used sisi is just false, it was only ever a select few who did.
New content being beaten on test servers before the feature is even live is a problem that all game developers are facing, especially with a player base that is asking for more content, and is a pitfall I’ve fallen into myself. Why play the main game when I’ve already beaten it on the test server? Imo, test servers should only be focus groups, and clearly CCP agrees.

Cost is relative, to someone with 100 billion pretty much anything smaller than a titan is cheap, so size doesn’t matter
Its a statement of fact, if losing ships isn’t something you’re comfortable with then you picked the wrong game entirely
What you mean is, they aren’t worth it to you
You seem to forget that not everyone is working with the same wallet balance

I don’t think wallet balance really is an arguing point. I stay around 1-2 billion liquid which is average, and losing ships isn’t a problem.

Ahhhh…Eve is not your game …is merely push back. No offense meant. No siree Bob.
Where I come from on planet Earth, telling someone in a game, in front of others that this is not your game is not considered “pushback”. Are you familiar with the “We’re waiting” meme from Caddyshack? Who could take offense to “We’re waiting”, right? Who?
So I came along and spoke back to y’all with a good argument but “none dare call it pushback”.
Why officer, that was not bullying, that there was pushback.
You guys crack me up.
You are combining two separate thoughts. EVE is not your game is not an insult is one thought. The push back is all the posts of people saying that sisi going away is a good thing or daring to have different opinions than that of the poster.
