That’s a bit like a miner saying Eve is solely a mining game.

I wish I was back to 12yo.
How about,
No.
Somebody’s been laboring under some sort of delusion.
Elite Dangerous, solo play is that way —>

Then you can apply the same thing to LP payout to make the system work
That would probably break the economy, no?
Afk ishtars are already extremely lucrative, even while taking losses.

What do you mean with “the same thing” and “yet system”? My suggestion is to cut LP-payout in HighSec so blitizing them for mass-LP-grinding isn’t as lucrative any more as today. Also rewarding people that actually run this content in Lowsec a lot more, compared to those doing it in HighSec.
Sorry, auto correct.
Yeah basically i agree. The BRM system could extend to HS to reduce payouts in overly run mission hubs etc. Then increase payouts in low sec by double or triple, at least.
LS is way too dangerous to justify the tiny increase in payout over HS, which makes no sense.
They should also reduce NPC presence in heavily structured (for lack of a better word) Nullsec systems / constellations to force those players out of their precious capital umbrellas to farm.
Etc.
Hasn’t CCP set the floor to 100%? So nothing would actually change to HS as those systems would always stay at 100% payout.
Yes, but at a time it was 50% - the concept is all i mean to say
Just to be clear CCP gets $5M every year from Icelanding Government, this is shielding them from the consequences of their own actions. It enables the same people to stay at CCP because so what if no. of players are down 60-80%? They still get a paycheck from Iceland
So maybe Iceland should stop giving CCP money and that way some changes in the company may actually happen.

You can institute change when you become Iceland’s president. I’m certain your reign would be remembered as Iceland’s golden age.

If you get competent people in office or whatever, they will do their thing, but the golden age wont arrive until years later because the momentum needs to build up. Something to think about.
I thought you quiet the game.
EVE has sound?™

We could all use a little peace and quiet.
Nobody noticed the first time. He really needs to skill up to Level V Game Quitting, and then do the Advanced Game Quitting skills as well as plugging in the cybernetic ‘Going Off In A Huff’ implant which adds a +10 bonus and allows quitting in 10 days rather than 6 months.

Eve has never remotely pretended to give a ■■■■ about it’s PVE experience. In an MMO market that operates around PVE first and PVP second. Should it really be any surprise it’s numbers are in the toilet?
Eve is a game where you can spend half a year training to run content, grind isk to be able to upgrade into a nice ship, and then promptly lose it all to 15 alpha accounts a player is using to suicide gank.
Congratulations, the ganker will use those modules to pay his sub. The dozen or more people he hit in that time will probably see some significant player turnover.
Keep the pvp in low sec, let people run content in high sec, and the numbers would tick up steadily instead of dropping continuously. It really is that simple. Look at what brought people back in the last decade. PVE content with the promise of being able to do stuff in high sec without getting ganked on gate immediately after. At least to some extent.
End of the day though, if you ever earn your way up to bling you’ll eventually just get suicide ganked by some autist running more than a dozen alpha accounts. Or a corporation that literally makes it’s bones bothering PVE fit ships for a living. Even if you’re travel fit, even if you’re transporting modules with a cloak or a sub second align time, and even if you’re in 1.0 space.
It’s absurd. Has always been absurd. It’s the primary reason I have been subbed maybe two years of the last twenty. I want to like Eve. The game’s systems interest me. I am always left with a bad taste in my mouth at some point and move on to something that’s actually committed to being fun.

Create a new event involving upgrading of modules using Plasmids.
For every successful upgrade, players would get points towards specialty items from the store, such as Injectors, Skins or blueprints.
Somebody decided to be lazy, and failed to ping d-scan and check local.
You have no one to blame but yourself for your lack situational awareness.
And besides, CCP removed the ability for alpha accounts to change their safeties to red in high sec over a year ago.
