Replying to every repetitive comment is boring, so I’ll automate it so I can press one button and a random reply is created.
I’m sure that’s fine.
Folly words widow one downs few age every seven. If miss part by fact he park just shew. Discovered had get considered projection who favourable. Necessary up knowledge it tolerably.
Oh crap, it broke…
EDIT: to give a proper answer, I hope you are aware you can still watch youtube or Netflix while ratting.
The only difference is that you can’t minimize the EVE client completely, and only tab to it when your site is done, before warping to a new one, pressing F, and minimizing the client again.
If you were already locking and pressing F for every rat before, literally nothing has changed for you.
Because if you have so much isk it’s already replaced as soon as it explodes, loss is functionally irrelevant.
If you lose a 50 Mil isk ship but make 100 Mil from your afk ratters during that time, loss is functionally irrelevant.
Which is not what I said, I have nothing against people having multiple accounts, nor anything really against multiboxing. I have multiple accounts myself.
What I said is CCP dislike the idea you need 30 accounts to be competitive, as shown by this change, which directly limits the ability to PvE multibox. Having 1 account and PvEing on just one account should be perfectly competitive.
Of course not, because the feedback is useless, focused only on personal interest and not focused on what CCP are trying to achieve for the whole game. They do however have other processes for feedback (eg. CSM, analysis of data logged from the game, their own gameplay).
It unfortunately does not. It also unfortunately effects many other aspects of the game for people that are single boxing.
First of all, no it does not have to be competitive.
Secondly, it is. A single boxing (or bot) super makes impressive amounts of money compared to the person running 5 accounts drone ratting. A person running a single box in abyssals can make several billion a day.
Again, the issue with this change is that it doesn’t address the problem. It’s ineffectual, unnecessary, and in very specific situations, hurts players that are actively playing the game (even in pvp situations).
How exactly does this hurt PvP situations given drone behaviour isn’t changed in PvP?
It does address the problem it is intended to address. It is intended to stop you warping into a site, launching drones and walking away for 15 minutes till the site is done.
I can still do that even if the change goes through. Though more people are likely to switch to a different activity that is equally, if not more, passive. And if that activity is skill farming, they’ll have a head start since they won’t need the drone skills anymore. In this scenario, the only thing that’s going to happen is there are going to be less ships out in space running combat anomalies.
Drones no longer automatically engage PVE targets. So if you catch a ship, you have to deal with their drones much earlier on than you would normally under status quo conditions. And Keres pilots are just done.
It does count, because their own and change the game. Their view is worth far more than ours. So it’s far more relevant than complaining about CCP in here. They’ll do their thing anyway and good on them for doing so.
However the examples listed wasn’t an exhaustive list, nor is each part of their feedback the sole source of their ideas. They use a number of channels to gather information and make changes that meet the company goals for the game.
Or just don’t do abyssals anymore because it’s not worth losing a 1.5b or more cruiser + pod just because CCP can’t see beyond their nose when they propose changes.
Correct. Some threads they do use (eg. small things thread) but for the most part no. A good example of why is this stupid side discussion we are involved in.
None of this complaining about them not using the forum actually has anything to do with this specific change, so there is so much chaff in the forum that the wheat is just totally lost anyway. That’s on top of the personal interest we all apply to our own arguments.
