Less loss, less mineral use. The only thing who make destruction hight actually is the war in 0.0 and pandemy. After game will collapse.
if you can’t see the issue with botting (and yes CCP could ban bot, a bot create new accoutn and rmt again. Other case we will nto have bot any more in eve), maybe start to think why boit exist.
And as i explain; if they are in HS, less prey for hunter in 0.0
So less content for a lot of pvp player.
So in a mid term range of time , population of game will drastically shut down.
Players are not leaving the game in droves thou there is just as many people as 2016.
Reasonable change, hope it would not cause additional glitches with drones control.
Translated from CCP language to normal:
we trying fight with bots, but botters will write clicker to attack NPC and normal players suffer again. So, i am convinced, switching from payment real money to plex was good idea.
Pandemy + war in 0.0 + population increase due to nerf for short term same as blackout => maintain of population for the moment.
After it will collapse.
People was saying the same for blackout, could you remimber to us what was impact of blackout for game population ?
your a TOOL, let me put you back in my TOOLBOX. <3
so maybe CCP want drop this project? 
Its nothing but sticks because their goal is to get players to buy more Plex. It’s that simple.
in fact CCP is lock in a hell pattern:
If they don’t nerf more and more they will loose pvp player (and a lot resub for this change it’s hide the people who stop farm).
The second point is … we will have soon an annoucement of CCP who explain EVE beacome a full F2P game. But you could take a new kind of subscription who make you protect against ESS, *10 money in HS, you’re drone could auto target ennemy npc, and +15 %EHP… and you could fit cyno in every ship .
So basically they ill announce if you paid you could revert for yourself all change since era of chaos and a little more.
and this sub of course will cost a lot more than the actual.
It only hurts those that are too lazy to do something other than something they find boring, there is plenty of isk making activities that are not a snooze fest like running anom’s or missions (yes they are both terrible and need those crazy npc ai implemented into them with some aoe pocket’s with buffs or something that is randomized or something crazy who knows).
But plew value is often related to game time. so i don’t think it will change a lot the value of $ win by selling plex. Beacause due to all this change plex will become cheaper and cheaper.
I’m one of the people that spin a few Ishtars to make income for plex. Running a total of 9 accounts - Dread alts, Jump Freighter alts, Cyno alts, supers, etc.
Income from mining is not a great option, income from ratting is made problematic when running multiple accounts. So, the options I’m left with is:
a) Pay 6-7 accounts on Credit Card per month or
b) Unsub 6-7 accounts as I can’t make up the ISK to buy plex.
As I won’t spend that amount of real life money on 1 game a month, the option here will be b)
As I lose all my utility alts, the likelihood of it becoming all 9 accounts, is real.
I’m an EVE player since 2004, but, perhaps not much longer.
On the positive side, I’d welcome changes that would make income generating activities more interactive. A fairly good implementation on this is Abyssal sites. Risk = reward. Stuff to do, engaging, have to think.
Anomalies are equally boring whether I have to press the F key 40 times per anomaly or not. It does not make your game better. As already mentioned, it will not stop the bots. It will however, remove a lot of your PVE subscriptions.
-6 today… we will see if you turn the ship around soon or if it’ll be -9 for good.
Hopefully plex get’s cheaper its being going out of control for years I remember when it was 300m.
This honestly doesn’t effect the people who “power multi-box” either. I’ve seen a guy run 30-35 accounts at the same time. No broadcasting or anything, just an intelligent set up with his hardware and multi-window software.
miners:
Frown in desprateness
Nothing wrong here.
Wait you means they will remove afk cloack ?
You clearly don’t speak CCP.
Well it’s a good idea IF you make the main pve activity in null sec incursion based
if not, it’s a “soft” blackout and will probably have the same effect
