Oh dear Cthulu, the hyperbole in this thread.
CCP is not desperate. EVE is not dying. More skill points does not equal more winning.
CCP is looking for a way to retain new players. During EVE Online's FanFest 2014 there was…
It's definitely pay to win but so is buying characters. There are peeps who have been making pre-made characters for years. They're specifically skilled and never undocked so essentially in the box pre-made to order.
i like this change however I ha…
I've played EvE since 2003 as Infinity Ziona. Confirming the above. It was ruthless and harsh when I joined. There were rules though and CCP at first attempted to deal with suiciding as power creep made mechanics faulty. As Oveur, the original lead…
One issue may be that CCP has to protect its alliance base. That means not changing the game too much in terms of making the game safer.
Unfortunately that hat alliance base is very keen on ganking / meta gaming which drives new players away.

I'd give it a miss. When EvE first released it was awesome. Now it's beyond mediocre.
CFC is around 40,000 accounts which means they're largely untouchable, have infiltrated CCP as devs, moderators, the player representative (supposedly) CSM.

Games are very shallow these days. Story lines are seemingly thrown together on top of nice graphics and features designed to be consumed at a very fast pace.
Modern games are the McDonalds while older games were the roadside diner, everyone was di…

They're easy to run. I was making enough to fund 7 SB alts and my main and …
You can run combat sites in null. Basically get yourself out there in a cloaky tengu or ishtar with a improved cloak. Cloak up till you have an hour or two, Scan a couple of sites and run them then cloak up till you have more time and repeats.

EvE released in 2003. It was never intended that you could grief the crap out of players in high-sec. High sec was intended to be a relatively safe place as was stated by the lead developer at the time.
CCP is a commercial company. They're in the g…

I'm sorry to derail your lengthy rant, OP, but CCP did not invent the concept of an "alliance". They simply formalized something that players would have naturally done by themselves regardless of whether the game supported it …

Highsec as you describe it is therefore flawed. High sec should be the money machine for CCP, it should be what drives development of PvP areas and pay for developers to develop. It should be crowded wi…

I'm surprised you all pay for a game with no avatar......I only tried it for a few days but I thought it was as boring of a game as I ever played.
It's the most intensely exciting game I've ever played. That's the real …
I think getting rid of the laser sov crap and having in station fighting to settle captures would be pretty freaking cool. If you don't want to get shot keep them from docking or run away imo
Highsec as you describe it is therefore flawed. High sec should be the money machine for CCP, it should be what drives development of PvP areas and pay for developers to develop. It should be crowded with happy fat bears without a care in the world.…
For anti-Zerg and anti-Gank I'd like to see a reinforced mode for ships. Basically at 0% armor every ship enters into reinforce with each 10% of cap remaining providing 1 sec immunity. With 100% cap that's 10 seconds max. This only applies to incomi…
EvE is not a sandbox game. It was sandbox at launch. You jumped in a ship and did whatever you needed to take stuff. That's over with now, to take stuff now you follow a preset number of steps and do so repeatedly over and over to take more stuff. S…
If grouping is a chore then the mechanics of grouping are flawed. There certainly is a middle ground to solo and group play. A group gets things done quicker while soloing is slower.
If I wanted to dig a 10 by 10 by 10 metre hole I could do so how…
Hopefully one day I'll win the lottery then I can implement my idea of how an mmorpg should be designed.
I like the idea of basing an mmorpg on real life rather than creating an artificial incentive system.
Humans will do what they enjoy most. G…
CCP didn't rectify with the playerbase. The protest was not the playerbase it was a small segment of the playerbase (alliances). One alliance email - go shoot the indestructible monument because I don't like it and cancel your accounts for a month. …
