Eh, I've been playing it again after not for six years. I'm a simple person who likes exploring wormholes and hacking sites. CODE's "Why Was I Ganked?" channel can be funny sometimes.
 
I came close to loggin back in a couple of weeks ago. But I checked r/eve, while installing the client, and learned CCP was doing some really dumb shit and ruining the game for a lot of people, again. So I canceled the install, because it reminded me of every time I quit the game before.

Unsubbed and haven't looked back. 5 years of playing at all levels from lowsec to nullsec to wormholes with alts and caps and supers. CCP makes the most retarded decisions and caters to the absolute shittiest and sociopathic players on the rare occasions they listen to the playerbase and even when they do they manage to completely fuck it up in some awe inspiring pants on head retarded way. Falcon leaving/being forced out should've been a fat neon sign saying "the game is going to shit!" and too many people saw the sign and said fuck it because they were butthurt about the Nullsec local blackout that Falcon backed.

The players deserve to be shat on, and are actively killing the game and make it ever harder for new players.

I played way back when it was drakes online and had a blast. Decied to take a look at the state of the game after reading your post, and wow just wow.
CCP had some winners for sure, but just how badly the fucked up their only good game over all these years is pretty impressive.

I heard they sold it off to some Korean MMO grinder company too, sad days since it was one of the few unique MMOs out there.

Pearl Abyss owns them now, last I checked they hadn't forced them into any retarded decisions they hadn't already started on themselves. They've broken promises (no selling skillpoints for money), they've ignored feedback (CSM, focus groups, forums/reddit), and they make desperately needed changes so slowly. They FINALLY changed nullsec ratting income, but that's not enough and far too late.

When I unsubbed I sold my Aeon to a friend, and gave my carriers away. I do have plex and several bil stored up so I could return at any time and never need to resub using cash, but honestly the game is stale and uninspired and made completely unfun by the largest autists in gaming.

The only thing I miss is the PvP shakes you get when you get into some nonconsensual PvP. The adrenaline rush, the pounding heartbeat that drowns out all other noise, there's no other game that has been able to replicate that.

:'( Back when 300 million for a PLEX was expensive.

Try gambling. Actually, don't try gambling. Because it's just as addictive if you are into this sorts of things.

First time I won was when I noticed that making bots was the only thing I still enjoyed about the game.

Yeah, had to set up a bunch of virtual win instances, not sure if xp or 7 because the program didn't play nice on newer windows or something like that.

But then it became a chore to trade in rep for the lucrative blueprints, then manufacture the stuff. Was fun learning how to do that stuff at first.
 
I started playing again over the summer after a several years hiatus and this game is vastly more tolerable as a line member with zero leadership or fc responsibilities.

Enjoying this game is an interesting conundrum because it means I want to play more, which will inevitably give me the itch to take back on leadership/fcing responsibilities.

That said, I recently got my first Titan and just this week we (Goons) killed 300ish Test/NC/PL Titans. Shit’s wild.
 
So, the normalfags get a taste of the Market, irl this week.

Who here is grateful that Eve taught us about unfair 'pump & dumps'? I used to pump & dump (PLEX then) injectors ALL DAY in Jita. US/Yuro TZ change was fantastic - the Yuros (and Russians) would dump, the US would pay any isk amount. The US kiddies would really empty the market, allowing for easy isk on a dump.

Lol, Eve was corrupt and manipulative as all hell. And these Reddit fags expect markets IRL to be 'fair'.

300 titan kills, jesus Christ. I remember when BoB using 3 of them on the frontlines unbalanced the game and almost killed 0.0

The (Super)Capital inflation was insane a couple of years ago when I last played. I don't even want to think about how bad it must be now. The game went from seeing a Titan being a rare occurrence, to Titans becoming an expected strategical asset, to everybody pressuring me to get "back" into the Supercap game because I was an established veteran. They just assumed that I must have some Supercaps and pilots stashed somewhere, because they either planned on buying some, or bought some, long before they played as long as I have.
Edit: Holy shit! "A couple of years ago" was only 2019. Isn't time supposed to slow down when you get older?

400-450 actually. First round, Goons lost 124 and Legacy/PAPI lost 131. Second round, Goons lost 0 and Legacy/PAPI lost somewhere around 175 but roughly half were duplicated (pilots jumped and essentially showed back up in their staging system with their titan).

Legacy/PAPI recently extracted half to 2/3rds of their trapped titans in exchange for losing two trillion worth of dreads (400 dreads) and a handful of titans, and killed a handful of Goon titans. There’s still 130ish Legacy/PAPI titans stuck, so more will likely die.

CCP is attempting to dial in Titan and super proliferation through resource scarcity. They’ve redistributed minerals (trit only found in hs, isogen only found in ls, zyd/mega/morph only found in ns), which has pushed titan prices to 80-85bn from 40-45bn in May/June (Delve prices, 90-100bn elsewhere). The recent Titan massacre is also causing prices to ramp up.

This is having a comical effect in that t1 ship prices are ballooning so it’s more economical to lose hac fleets than bs fleets. Similarly, it’s also pushing capital prices up.
 
Excuse the partial necro.
The recent Encyclopedia Dramatica drama has caused me to reflect on the 1337 days of the late 2000s.

1 Cor 13:11
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

-You can (and should) grow out of a game.
-The game might grow beyond you, as well.
-Holding onto the past turns you into a Lovecraftian horror: speaking like a 2000s child, but looking like a grandma/grandpa. (e.g. Gunt, and Ade)
-Olds do NOT belong in MMOs. Period.
-the internet today IS NOT the INTERNET of the 2000s.
-everything (should) dies eventually. everything.
and lastly

-Kill your corp, go down in flames, go out with a blaze, then LEAVE. You will know when.
Do it. Never come back.

I miss my corpies, I miss alliance and local chats. I miss TS, griefing, roams, gate camps, EO Poker, and I miss the game. But 2010 will never come back again.

:feels:
 
In terms of grinding, highsec incursions are still the way. While it's been nerfed to a single focus so the three major fleets compete with each other for sites, they've been able to do it waaaay faster than ever before thanks to the marauder bastion update that made 300m isk/hr (sans LP) very much doable with an elite enough fleet, and 200m/hr to be already slow. For all the nerfs CCP did to incursions to slow down the largest ISK faucet in Highsec, they sure did buff it a crapton this year (although they aren't nerfing it again because properly fitted marauders can cost about as much as a capital ship and die much faster.

Fucking why? It's not like they even give you a TARDIS to fly. It's just cosmetics. Which matter less than ever since they took out Capsule quarters and never even put in Station interiors.
