CCP not fixing the bot problem ( also know as the fratbot problem )

I’m sorry, I had just woken and the first thing on my mind is that I owe Princess 25 billion isk if I don’t pop some silly container out in space.

/we are sure@Uriel won’t mind if the payment goes to @Aiko as it is anchored inside her domain.

Of course if you fail to follow through with your own given word it will be a perfect opportunity and reason to remind everyone that your word is proven to be worthless and that you lack morals, every occasion your name pops up anywhere. Reputation follows you around in EVE.

As well as the aforementioned blocking on the forums, along with in-game, and I can consider proactively doing that as well, seems to work well based on Aiko’s case of the same.

I’m sure you won’t mind that. :wink:

I think ganking should be done away with and replaced by a Limited War Dec Timer.

A single player would pay 50 million for two weeks of ganking.

A corporation would pay 75 million per month that would allow unlimited players to gank.

An alliance would pay 250 million per month that would allow unlimited players to gank.

Or Perhaps CCP could introduce Ganking Tokens that could be purchased in the shop only. $10.00 per 250 takens that can be traded but not sold on the market.

The advantage of the Gank Token would be an increase in the amount of time Concord responds.

The other advantage is CCP makes more money to continue to provide Eve Online during a time of great uncertainty in the real world.

Mother of god I think you figured out how to kill the game

Not really, constant ganking by gankers in High Sec who use ISK to pay their way through the game from ganking, doesn’t put money back into the game, except those who were ganked might have to feed the machine some coins to recovery their losses, where is the economic equality? Gankers cost CCP money by buying in-game items with ISK earned from ganking while the ganked may or may not put real money into the machine.

What I am getting at is gankers need to start paying into their ganks with real money. CCP makes real money and probably a lot with Ganker Tokens while those who are ganked, may or may not pay real money into the game to recover their loses. The scales of monetary equality are thus balanced and some players might even stay after being ganked if they know that the gankers had to put real money into their ganks like the haulers put real money into their ships.

the old school players enjoyed the game and lived to excel at it, now its a collection of newer players who dont know anything but the allliance and the corp an allies they play with. no big fights, no i wanna take a system just to poke the bear. lets just agree the eve player base has changed more than the game has.

:cake: :pie: and I’ll even through in a :baby_bottle: for you! I can’t bust his butt anymore than that since he already admitted to being ā€œrisk adverseā€. :rofl:

We had no choice. :grimacing:

I still want a ā€œSoap Boxā€ emoji. So when I start to post BS, everyone will know it…

ā€œIā€ think it’s between one of two reasons. Either the whales or entitled new players. Again, just me. Anyway…

The game used to be a nitch game for apparently hard core gamers. The demographic base used to be a bragging point for CCP when I joined. According to the tests, I’m supposed to be smart. :roll_eyes: I found out there are much smarter players than I. Challange accepted. But trying to go mainstream with a game that was built for nitch play?

I don’t know and no one else can figure out a solution either on how to make it fair, even if I don’t think that’s necessarily a good idea either. So that’s my theory as to why EVE is dying. Thay can’t seem to find a balance between a mainstream game the absolutely brutal game that it used to be. Meh…

I’m on a roll… :roll_eyes:

Add to that the driving out of small corps. Say want you want but I don’t see any viable small corp trying to set up any kinda base operations?

Someone gets it. :smirk:

It’s quite apparent that you didn’t.

It was only a few years ago that Absolute Order was just 4 people. Now it has several thousand members and regularly 300-400 in corp chat. Of course…most small corps fail, but that is to be expected. The determined ones survive…often by assimilation. That is EVE.

Safe to assume they already know it. :wink:

According the the mirror on the wall, Zaera is the smartest of them all.

Iceacid is such a liar.

Chad likes whatever Zaera tells him to

incoherent lore/ inadequate lore progression.

EVE online lore has the potential to be more engaging than many best-selling science-fiction novels, am not even getting into player-stories.
It has the potential such that non-eve players will play eve to be part of this engaging science-fiction lore first hand instead of experiencing it as a third-person as in a movie/novel. In the past graphics was a customer acquisition pull, now its time for the in-game lore created by the devs to be the pull which brings in new customers and raises revenue for the IP.

CCP already makes op trailers, whats stopping them from expanding the lore weekly/monthly in a coherent & engaging manner?

what do you say? @CCP_Swift

No…I think quite the reverse is the case. There is already way too much lore in this alleged ā€˜sandbox’. People need something that differentiates EVE from something like Homeworld. And in any good sandbox MMO that ought to be the ability to create their own storyline and histories.

Instead we have a ā€˜sandbox’ that is micro-managed to the nth degree.

The sole purpose of PvE should be as practice and incentivisation for PvP…not as a means to its own end. I’ve encountered a lot of people in chat saying that even level IV missions are boring…which doesn’t surprise me as scripted stuff always has limited scope and seldom has that variability and unpredictability that comes from humans.

And if EVE is dying, that is why. People are bored…and all CCP ever do is add more boring ā€˜content’ whilst eliminating yet more PvP opportunities because of the bored carebears. What EVE really needs is less safety, more carnage, and more opportunity for people to ā€˜do their own thing’ as the advert says.

Make EVE great again.
