The old tier mechanic, no frontline systems, the lucrative FW missions, the huge amounts of LP after capturing a plex, the gold rush, the promised land, the harsh environment, no restrictions for pirate ships, the true sandbox experience… Oh man… I really miss those good old days. 🫤

Hell yeah, brother! We fought against the enemy, against each other, and against pirates just to earn as much LP as possible… total anarchy. 😀 That warzone was so dope man… Players were more fanatical and pvp fights were more ruthless, because it was very profitable. And you could also profit as a solo player, as a wanderer and scavenger.

If it’s fun, the payout shouldn’t matter.

I’m going to make a guess that you’re one of the reasons CCP had to implement those new rules, and that what you’re ultimately missing is the ability to curb stomp noobs.

Well, it depends on how you look at it and how you perceive fun. For me, it’s fun, among other things, to earn good ISK. So…yeah.. I love isk. 😎
