What are your thoughts on sarcity?

[Nana_Skalski]

You mentioned man made fire. Man causes that for his profit.

Cows are much more profitable than some young saplings and some frogs.

[Siegfried_Tahl]

Correct me if I’m wrong, during Blackout players outrage was mostly due to no local. Ratters couldn’t rat and stopped logging in, and hunters couldn’t hunt because of that.

But there was also Drifter invasion at that time, and people did show up for timers and did fight Drifters.

Why couldn’t CCP try burn mineral stashes, supers and such that way. Drifter invasion 2.0. They could make them bash structures, loot, build their hives, which would hold part of loot. For anyone to claim. Like ESS. Redistribution phase.

Usually when man is going to burn forest, the result will be cows grazing on flatland and all the forest gone for good together with all the exotic species.

Ummmmm no.

The forest regrows without all the dead trees and debris getting in the way.

I’ve seen some stupid things things written in here by people without a clue trying to argue a position, but…Dude…WTF???

I could write a full thesis on how bad your take on this is.

Respect to CCP for keeping course and and not giving in or caving to the mob who are crying to stop scarcity, most people wo left will come back. I have more fun now that i ever had with eve.

Chaos era best era. CCP deserves one had pat for not giving in.

Adapt or die, burn all the mineral staches and T2 BPOs.

Takes years to decades tho, innit?

They also do it for forest and wildlife conservation.

Controlled burn

Yeah this isn’t a literal forest fire.

[Siegfried_Tahl]

@Daichi_Yamato

Yeah this isn’t a literal forest fire.

Might still take years to recover player count.

This just sums you up.

[Daichi_Yamato]

Well it may. So CCP are playing the long game. That’s good!

@FORCY_FUNTIMES_MEATWATER

You don’t think they’d just buy cheaper ships?

Yeah and spoil the fun of flying what they think it’s FUN to fly. so ccp nerfing your fun at the game. If you are a hardcore player yeah y would use corvettes if needed but I don’t think majority of players fit into hardcore player base. There are other aspects of the game still more attractive or even other games …

Same applies for mobile observatories? I see a lot of crying about taking that step back too

[Nana_Skalski]

For long game they would probably use sheep after removing all the trees, like it happened in Iceland before.

As in agrarian societies everywhere, the settlers began by cutting down the forests to create fields and grazing land. Sheep were important as a source of wool from the outset, but by about 1300 they had become a staple source of food for Icelanders as well.

[Daichi_Yamato]

Now you’re talking about cutting down forests. Like you couldn’t twist my analogy to your agenda so you created a whole new one…

[Algathas]

@safira_jomita

Yes it does. If a ship costs 5x more ppl won’t undock it often as they did before, so less content.

The wanton dropping of caps reduced significantly prior to scarcity. Scarcity might make people use them even less for some purposes but it didn’t start the path of reduced droppings by a long shot.

You really don’t have to, there are hundreds of papers available on the subject.
Funny though how a fire happens to start and burns through 500 acres of previously untouched bushland, only to be “improved” by the owners as “pasture”.

[Trivianee]

CCP has officially rolled scarcity out to pilot numbers too. We are back to 2006ish levels of daily logins.

Scarcity must end or EVE WILL DIE.

Um not worried about cap droppings even a bit. Caps are needed to hell already .they can be taken out by a small gang if they know what they doing

@Daichi_Yamato

the long game.

The long game,

You mean PA’s long game.

Eventually saving the day by selling us 0.99$ Orepacks.

…

Give it 4-6 months and we’ll see the same kind of ads on the launcher, it’s been habit ever since the PA sellout.

Higher-tier industry (faction ships, battleships etc) seem to be beyond the reach of casual and part-time industrialists. But I guess it means more reward for those industrialists who specialize or join a bloc

I thought ccp wanted players to spread? why they making them gather to main blocks?

@Kaivarian_Coste

But I guess it means more reward for those industrialists who specialize or join a bloc. There are other areas of industry that are accessible for casual players. You can still make some isk by building t1 ships near low sec for example.

been there for a long time. Even that market is going down as ppl are just not up to trow ships away like before
