It might be helpful to include an overview of the different account types for old and new players, since that was another semi-recent change.

In typical "the first hit is always free" fashion, EVE now has two tiers of accounts:

Alpha - The free tier

• Limited selection of ships, modules, and skills, but plenty of opportunities to cause mayhem
  
• You gain skill points at a slower rate and can only train skills up to a certain level
  
• Although you are not limited on how many accounts you can have, you can only be signed in on one Alpha account at a time
  

Omega - The paid tier

• Faster skill training
  
• No restrictions on ships, modules, and skills
  
• You're able - and sometimes incentivized depending on play style - to run multiple Omega accounts at once
  

A good number of players do pay for Omega entirely in-game through income-generating activities like ratting, salvaging, industrial production, and even scamming other players.

CCP recently upped the Omega monthly subscription from $15 to $20, though they frequently run specials with steep discounts for longer subscription periods or multi-account discounts.

Accounts can go back and forth between Alpha and Omega status without penalty. Any Omega skills, ships, and modules you possess on your characters are simply locked out until you resubscribe.

He should already be banned by adj or merk or literally anyone with power, there's no excuse not to. gently caress "stability" its a dumb spaceship alliance that has weathered plenty of incredibly stupid poo poo before and it'll be fine or it won't, who fuckin cares. Anyone unwilling to ban him right now is either on his side or has their personal identity tied way too close to goonfleetswarm as an entity and is personally afraid.

Not to defend Imperium dudes but...how? Same with the people who complain the directorate won't make heads roll. What concrete action do you think a director can take here, go round Mittani's house with a baseball bat? This isnt real life. There isn't actually a way of doing a Death of Stalin style housecleaning.

So the OP's kind of vague, what all exactly is locked behind a subscription in terms of skills and all? Or, if it's the shorter answer, what isn't?

OORrrrrr, and hear me out here. Just keep them there, all in one place so we all know where to avoid?

Don't underestimate the power of turf. People LOVE having and owning space. It's difficult to see if you've disabused yourself of the concept, but most people absolutely love having somewhere of their own.

Untainted my rear end, half of Boise/Meridian/Eagle is Californians. CDL still has a serious Nazi problem, the legislature's actively de-funding the school system, and if your politics are anywhere to the left of Q adjacent you're not gonna have a great time.

Beautiful state though, highly recommend visiting

Same. What finally did it for me were the leaks showing the language used to describe one of ~our space tribe~ who was being abused.

Voyager I posted:

Our understanding was that we were cultural outsiders to the game who deliberately antagonized the natives, though that was more to do with highsec carebears and the E-Bushido types, and even then only really at the level of random line-members interacting. Politically we staked our identity on keeping our promises and respecting our commitments to their allies, even if we talked poo poo about their posting.

not to be that guy, but CCP is nerfing ganking under the guise of stopping harassment:

1) Ganking something, with the intent of getting a reaction (see: Not whether or not YOU DO IT with the intent, rather if CCP THINKS THIS IS THE REASON YOU'RE DOING IT. This is problematic because CCP doesn't consider 'for the challenge' or 'for fun' as valid reasons.)
2) Persistent ganking of individuals. (I guess if you don't like someone you can't keep killing them, why should they be allowed to mine in a system I want to control simply because they've died enough times? Also how many is persistent?)
3) Ganking streamers without a valid reason. (See: 'for fun' and 'i don't like this guy' as not valid reasons.)
4) Ganking without 'any tangible gain'. You can't gank people unless you profit. Never mind playing for fun or to scam them later, but infamy and being the bad guy never mattered?

One step further, CCP are calling harassment and griefing the same thing, there is no difference between the two in action taken.





Just adding onto it, this is confirmed via PERSONAL EMAILS by GM IceCream. This is not public policy, this is people getting emails to 'stop doing this'. When I asked GM IceCream if I could post the logs (since posting GM correspondence is against the EULA) he told me to gently caress off.
