NPC’s are not people, they are software slated to behave a certain way, letting me do something, then taking it away is almost the same as saying you need some fandangled new skill to use a mod or ship that your previously able to use
Also, Arrendis, get a job or something, you been posting all day

Except they didn’t. Conditions change. It’s an MMO. Things get buffed, nerfed, and adjusted. People had time to try trigs, try edi, go back and forth a few times, and make their choice. ‘You can be neutral’ was never part of the description.

posting in a house ad bogged down in minutia
That is no excuse! You have been on more since it started! 
Bust his butt all you want, but I have found Arrendis to be a wealth of info and honesty over the yrs. He has shared small tidbits of info on how the CSM works and how Goon’s think and work behind the scenes. You all might not like what he says, but I respect it and frankly, listening to his predictions have made me ISK and safe in the “Age of Chaos”. I do not agree with all he says, but I do respect it.

I haven’t leaked anything about the CSM. Anything I’ve said has been based on public statements made by CSMs and CCP. The word ‘leak’ is a really dangerous one to use wrt the CSM. Look at what happened to Brisc 2 years ago.

I am sorry, but don`t Trig supporters already mess it up? They want to turn high sec systems into nullsec. Making it harder for others and themself to travel through.
They do not care about a “safe” area or safe travel

shhh. Don’t point out to them that they’re helping to make routes where their haulers can be attacked w/out CONCORD protecting them.

Thank you CCP for another evening full of chat issues and closing channels without reopening them.

Nope we want it to turn into trigsec.
Like nullsec but none of those silly capital ships
Changed to “shared”. You are correct, my apologies.
SO !
a theory on why CCP’s effort to get money out of the market and increase overall destruction has not really worked out too well thus far. all things considered, the results are lack luster at best!!
MIND YOU – I said Theory! SO all you fanboys - cool your jets… your precious EVE is not going away, at least not soon…
By the way, I happen to really like EVE and have been in the game since 2012 or so…
Pearl bought CCP a year or so ago and a big company like Pearl does not invest lightly…
They have plans for EVE …now all you out there that hated the original micro-transactions we ended up with a few years ago, are REALLY gonna hate whats coming.
That said - EvE ( let’s start calling it by it’s REAL name- EvE - Everyone versus Everyone) is on at least Pearl’s radar…Now Korean game companies LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Micro transactions… YES – BY the way, for all you out there not current, EvE is a Korean owned game now…get over it.
Back to the title and original idea- THE lion’s share of money ( real money - not isk) for EvE comes from the US …in the US , even in the “3rd world parts” like where I live…we love, support and ENJOY Capitalism…
CCP decided that the best way to reduce the market (and generate more real cash for them --READ PEARL!) was to limit supplies. limit protection, cause chaos and generally ■■■■ up the norm…
DO NOTE – CCP is a company existing in a social democratic state …( socialists - aka communism under a prettier name) South Korea is anybodies guess…somewhat democratic and somewhat capitalist would be fair.
As a Majority of the money that is keeping EvE Online literally ‘ONLINE’ is coming from the US, it is noteworthy to say:
Capitalists are kind of funny about money— when bad times hit us - we GRAB and HOLD our money-- we downsize, we reduce and save… WE CUT OUR LOSSES and protect that what we have…
CCP says people will risk MORE when times get tough!!
— WRONG!!!
See- the THEORY is that CCP/Pearl misunderstood the reaction from a majority of it’s market share…
Definitely NOT a stretch for people that have created a game that over the years, have been called anything from high school programmers to just outright lazy PASTA code hacks … SPREADSHEETS IN SPACE… LOVE THAT ONE!!
ALL THAT SAID, I LOVE THE GAME!.. I truly HOPE CCP gets a handle on things… it MIGHT be too late though, as Pearl really has the reins now.
Peace
come hunt my Widow!!! ( refugee in Ammar /null Space–) - I make life so easy, or VERY hard for a selective few!-- <3 kisses!
