people looove to be in a massive blocks  
they want to have better payers protecting them  
they also like to be told what to do  
thinking and having imagination is a waste of energy  
at this pace i predict that in the future EVE will be all the other players shooting me

What is it you can’t do now that you could before?  
Your OP is so vague. Specifics, please.

Yes. She captured my thoughts about the the game. Don’t tell her, she doesn’t like me! 😆

But in game or in rl, if I had to have someone to cover my back in a fight, it’s the troll’s who I want behind me. At least they fight…

“Shrink, I want to kill. I mean,… I wanna,… I wanna kill! KILL! I wanna,… I wanna see… I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL.” And I started jumpin up and down yelling, “KILL KILL” and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, “KILL! KILL!”

I took the test on a hit of acid, snorting coke, smoking pot and crushing the beer can as I got there. I was doing good till the coke wore off. Only got an 88… 😬

Edit; Yes, so now you all know how stupid I am.

While not sunshine and ice cream…this game ain’t omfg far gone.

I mean they could be blizzard. Where an increasing number of peeps are excited about their new coming out as pre release may 18 then live june 1st game.

That new game has the working title of The Burning Crusade. lol. For all those who said GB2 wow never being theres this is a more than decade old expac getting a real rerun on new dedicated servers.

More hype about a reboot that where they are taking retail wow with shadowlands for some.

So as long as ccp doesn’t dangle a reboot…they should be good lol. People may like the reboot more.

They’ll **never** do this because in the case of WoW, an old expansion reboot allows players to revisit interesting game lore and raid content that became irrelevant with new releases, but in the case of EVE, the underlying content hasn’t really changed since the game came out (Guristas pirates are still Guristas pirates, and we still sit on gates and camp pipes with interdictors, etc.), so a reboot would be like an implicit acknowledgement that their development track and policies have failed over the years.

Part of me would like to see AOE DD back again.

If only to make 1DQ interesting.

Server load… titan AOE DD party…lag fixed once the server cleans out 1000+ dead ships.

Did wonders for my first home in scalding pass. Some crew was just that bored they did this. not even in our war. They just liked busting our alliance leader’s balls. Well if she had them.

From what I’ve heard from him CCP Rattati is not someone versed in game theory but this maybe because he is holding his cards close to his chest. Personally I think he might have no idea what he is doing & is just treading water so as not to get Falcon punched out of CCP. I have no faith that Eve will have compelling or competitive game theory systems implemented because of his position in the company.

The 'verse is too shallow for my liking and is now akin to simple casino games.

Eve used to be a MMO famous for having the smartest player base, Eve today is now tailored for the ‘‘I am very smart’’ player base. The verse is shallow the game systems are all an offshoot of the n+1 mechanic. PVE is designed to be botted or at the very best mass multi boxed, yet again n+1.

This MMO in my honest opinion has found its place and its for the ‘‘I am very smart’’ cringe crowd. I only dare tip my toes in once in a while. It lost its emergent game play philosophy after Incarna & has been downhill since then.

I understand that this game needs to be competitively monetised but meh, too much dumbing down now, tbh.

I’d look forward playing a MMO designed by Hilmar without thought to monetisation.
