Idiocy and poor choices. Flying what they aren’t skilled to fly. They all want to be in battleships on day one, and end up finding out the hard way…

You’re stating something as conventional wisdom but without drawing up the reasoning or why new players reach that conclusion, if any.
Fly what you can afford to lose is a game wisdom given to all and parroted by most. It’s applicable in most cases if not all aspects of eve.
I want to understand what 30-90 days or even below 10 million SP players lose things to, how and why. Is it a lack of game experience or comprehension of mechanics like orbiting, angular velocity, weapon systems like turrets vs missiles? Thats the kind of stuff that took me a bit to understand and apply in PVP and harder PVE events.
95% chance they got blobbed.

Yeah.
I can count many of my deaths in FW or in low-null-wh being blobbed, gate camped or suicide ganked. My deaths and losses were never fair, and while that’s the nature of the game. That Eve isn’t fair and a raw numbers game sometimes. It becomes inhospitable and at times unplayable.
The most effective way to kill the enemy, is simply get them to stop playing. That is probably one way to win at eve. Proactively kill the playerbase.
I do miss the days of being able to perma-bump someone until they give up and log out…

That used to happen quite a bit. You can almost map those periods out on the eve-offline server…
Extremely short-sighted, but the narcissist personalities who plagued EVE were effectively salt miners.
Many of them just wanted to watch New Eden burn…

mmm tasty tasty salt, and pretty flames 
Any ore given Grade 0 will become the exclusive profit of AFK miners in Exordium using Freelance Jobs at 50% its previous value. CCP has effectively fired all human miners from highsec for any ore that is given a Grade 0. CCP is dumb. I dont speak much but when I do… bye for now.

Just look at this pic CCP generated for the new patch… So fkn ironic isnt it? Anyone see the joke?
CCP… just dont use Grade 0. Simply name new ore that doesnt refine into the building block of everything and avoid the “Ore Category” or stop pretending that you arent fully compliant in a botter economy.
A good point. I may go there just to watch how CCP handles the place. Might be better than netflix!
You think Veldspar is going to crash the market? It’s not about the system being PvP-free because I could fit an Orca and a Hulk in 0.9 and mine safely all day (if I had that much free time which I don’t). I can use a Skiff and Orca in 0.5 and AFK mine Veldspar all day. This is nothing new. A few noobs in Ventures mining Veldspar isn’t going to do anything- even if a hundred 10 year Veterans march in with fleets- it won’t crash the economy. CCP has said that it’s not going to be filled with moon goo or ice.

Don’t forget the Scordite-0.
I’m just waiting that they add ice-0 belts and gas-0 clouds for “broad industry learning purposes”…
I think… Alot of these threads are overreactions and blowing up the proportionality of how Exordium will effect the game for wrong.
For starters, (hah) I am sure Exordium is focusing on Alpha player content. So we wouldn’t see the likes of PI or T2 or Ice mining…
Yes there already people flying orcas with exhumers and barges. I am sure they will eventually get their just desert.
I also think the complaints about “This Ruins PvP” or “Ruins the EvE PvP experience” is ■■■■■■■■. It ain’t gonna stop some of the playerbase from doing the same they usually do which is:
- gank people in highsec for whatever reasons
- pvp and gank in low, null and wh
- use multi boxers to camp poi, deadspace, gank, farm etc
Traditional pvp and one on one is dead. EvE PVP is really just highway robbery and muggings the space game.

Also obligatory.
Change is scary, me no like change. Thomas Edison is a witch. Economy stonks go up, player count go down
EVE is dying.

Even if they did, it still would not hurt the economy. That got ruined by the multiboxers years ago.

For the stupid question of the day… What do you do with all that isk? I have only 3 acct’s and yet gave over 100 bil away on the forums. I wasted another 100 bil playing with marauders just to test out something I didn’t even use otherwise. Is it to support gank fleets that drive off new players? I just don’t get it?
Speaking only for myself, I hoard…
I think they’ll be heading for FW BFs
