I’m not busting your butt here. The game has become boring. Thats why the game has flatlined. CCP is happy with the numbers and that’s why the numbers will still be flatline in the future. > [@Namdor](#): > > Name a handful of 20+ year old subscription model games enjoying “growth”. None except eve had growing numbers till CCP changed the rules. They tossed away a growing game to monetize the game. CCP wins, players lose. > [@Gerard\_Amatin](#): > > If the player number is currently going up then it’s growing, simple as that. Are numbers really growing? Still seem stagnant to me. ---

> [@Denyial](#): > > i wish there was a mute or block in eve forums There is a Mute option when you go on the profile. There’s a long button underneath their pic that says Normal with a bell next to it. If you click on it there are options to mute. If the profile is hidden, go to your profile and navigate to Users. Put the name you want and it will allow you to mute anyone. ---

I am just comparing the games here on ‘growth’ not population. ![growth](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/6/8/1/681112bc559ec72db4178390329748e7d94b2bd3.jpeg) This kind of growth is due to the larger income provided by the game revenues. It doesn’t make the game better, just more of a money maker. The profit, when invested into the proper hardware and software updates, generates growth. Eve Online has growth but it has been slowed due to loss of revenues. In fact, I am impressed by the growth shown in this graph. It shows that roughly 41% of the all time high is playing Eve on a Wednesday. I am certain CCP would love to see numbers in the millions but I seriously doubt their server can handle that kind of load. ---

You can simply mute me either in my profile or by adding me to your own profile’s ignore list, which is a useful feature against people with hidden profiles. I do not know what I have done to deserve your hatred but hopefully this means I no longer have to hear your tiresome and false accusations ever since the first time I tried to help you.

> [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > The game has become boring. Thats why the game has flatlined. That’s a player issue, not a game issue. All games tend to get boring when you play them often enough. Storyline games run out of story, games built on interesting mechanics get figured out and completed. Only PvP games have the potential to stay interesting as other players are unpredictable and can adapt, but even that can grow stale if you’ve seen it all. If the game is boring for you, why not take a break? That is what I tend to do when bored of EVE or other games. ---

Exciting stuff. Sit in Jita and attack suspect ships. Grats on doing all of that, but it sounds really boring. 9 pages of kills all in Jita. Nothing but suspects. That means I have nothing to fear as I don’t fly with a Suspect Tag. I don’t mean to sound harsh, but you did issue a condescending remark accusing me of never daring to show my face in Jita. I don’t know why as Jita is quite the boring place. ---

I do play it in my own way. I’ve never been ganked. I’ve dodged gate camps. I’ve even survived gate camps. I do my research and make my ships survivable. I PvP by being hard to kill. By making it impossible or extremely difficult to destroy my ships. That’s why I mine in open space while gankers are present and I go through Uedama without incident. That’s how I PvP. ---
