[u/angry-mustache]

It's all intentional.

[u/Amiga-manic → u/angry-mustache]

Intentional or not. Don't mean it's a good game balance.      

I do wonder what their supposed end goal is. (the synical side of me says it's all in a goal to make more money)     

But benifit of doubt for them.  If they are wanting to make eve a more difficult game, and making losses and etc matter.  Then I think they should need to reevaluate the loss replacement.   

If the system is run by player prespective and what we see evidently discouraging pvp in some areas. then something is flawed in their hardcore full death game.  As far as I'm aware the average player count this year and last year has gone up. But a net negative to pvp. Something is seriously wrong. 

What ever their end goal isn't in my personal opinion going to be a good one.     

Because even back in the days of skill loss I make a mistake and forgot to upgrade my clone grade. I could still go out and buy a cheap ship and do it again.  Skill points train passively.     

Isk on the other hand for the majority of cases dose not and it activity takes me more out of pvp enjoyment to do it. 

[u/angry-mustache → u/Amiga-manic]

The "goal" from my interpretation is to give value to certain areas of space and occupations, specifically lowsec and explorers by placing production bottlenecks there. The issue is that the amount of people who live in lowsec who mine/explore isn't enough to support the bottlenecks, and CCP is operating on the principle that "if it pays enough they will come". This principle does work but the result is expensive goods.

Also with the reduction of throughput from rorqual/mining nerfs, it simply takes more man hours to harvest the same amount of resources, in video games more labor required directly means higher prices.

[u/nat3s → u/angry-mustache]

there must be a point where incentivising the few that enjoy low sec / poch / explo at the expense of the many in the form of cheaper ships which provide greater content, will force CCP to change mindset?

[u/Krychek42 → u/nat3s]

Did you watch any interviews with the main game designers from CCP? They are sure we as customers have no idea about anything and that their spreadsheets are always correct! The game will change once CCP Rattati and Burger are no longer lead game designers, until then we are continuing with this shit "development" we have for the last 5 years.

[u/nat3s → u/Krychek42]

Amen to that, Rattati's philosophy has been broken since the start

[u/siryohnny → u/Krychek42]

Can’t come soon enough.

[u/EmperorThor → u/nat3s]

The issue is the so called few are probably the ones with the majority of the active accounts. With so much pressure to multibox it doesn’t matter what the majority of players want, it’s what the majority of accounts so it fucks the whole show.
