They're making changes, fairly rapidly, that harm your ability to make ISK by playing the game. The theory is that they're making these changes to encourage the purchase of PLEX.

Am I the only one who thinks about the one step further, that nobody will be buying PLEX in-game if there's nobody making ISK in-game? I mean all they have to do is introduce NPC buy orders for PLEX but thats just such a lovely move I think it would finally put me off the game, even with as much fun as I'm having in this war.

The bigger issue is if they make things like mining completely unprofitable then how well all the dipshits buying plex have ships to buy that aren’t obscenely expensive

Mining can't be unprofitable in the long term because it's where all the minerals come from, right?

EVERY TIME GOING posted:If you're just joining us, here's a fair and unbiased INN article from our battlefield reporter Moomin Amatin that gives a high-level overview of WWB and its actors. “Fraternity – Another alliance from the Serenity server finding its footing on Tranquility.” Isn’t the Serenity server the dev box where everything costs 100 isk? How does one have an alliance there?

Oh, dude. I agree. That’s why they need to hire an economist again who can tell them, “you think this is going to make you more money, but look you’re incentivizing behavior that; unchecked, is going to lead to the quicker death of your 17 year old MMO.”

He mostly studied the game for his own scholar pursuits and didn't really affect game direction.

CCP has a proper data analytics department, headed by an alleged 'economist' (read: not) who got drummed out of the civil service years ago. Unfortunately they only maintain the CCP financial reports and pipeline. Meaning that the only vaguely competent people with previous experience do 0 analysis on any of the actual in-game data, and just produce reports like "Q4 Plex Purchases/Advertising Expenses by Region".

FAT32 SHAMER posted:The bigger issue is if they make things like mining completely unprofitable then how well all the dipshits buying plex have ships to buy that aren’t obscenely expensive Because they won't keep resource generation like this forever. Instead, they'll ride the line as much as they can then introduce another "resource abundance" period to get things into line, rinse and repeat. Or they'll just sell ships on the store eventually, who knows. The tin-foil hat wearing side of me thinks the recent cases of fat fingers on the store and Sisi were just tests to gauge what they could get away with at this point.

If CCP had any idea what to do they would have made it like eve echoes, where if your guns are active, they will automatically start shooting the next npc target you have locked. they could even reload and keep shooting automatically too. They could embrace the semi-afk nature of the game instead of fighting it and make every weapon system as good as drones.

Persistent player targets aka 'content', more subs to get better idle clicks, and the drudge bits somewhat automated for players who stay logged in spinning ships. We've literally had the humour of ship spinning for years.

CRAPI is ruining EVE for everyone by harboring botters in its coalition and in turn using the ill-gotten profits to wage its dishonorable campaigns. Unlike CCP however, The Imperium has not turned a blind eye on these transgressions and resolutely continues to restore fairness and balance to the game. https://zkillboard.com/kill/88908978/ https://fleetcom.space/battlereport/35A7Wg2MAJmayD9te

I don't see anything about compensation on that page, maybe it doesn't suck.  e: Iceland is nice place tho, probably wouldn't want to live there though... I can handle the polar day/night, but the tourist season brings in like 5x the population of Iceland in tourists, and tourists are universally dumb fuckers.
