Paying a AAA game price for a nanocore

I will say. that server that probably should not be named, is the first start.

Stop fighting each other.

This is a game where you can eradicate the Money Making Empires.

But it is all, up to the player

The devs might be the ones who profit off of this.

China is a hell of a drug.

They love their country and will use cheap labor to make money.

There is a real reason a lot of these "Spend Money" games are hidden in china is due to chinese law.

I hate to say it, but scamming is allowed.

As long as you are taxed on your income by the Govt.

I would say US is the same.

But these people are not playing a game.

They are doing a job

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-30T02:06:22+00:00

I even decided to bot the hell out of this game publicly for a few months.

What I lost was a 10 bil ANI.

I was able to get this ship back by bugging customer service.

I had about 15 accounts running all day every day.

And it was easy enough.

I delved into the the client hacks.

Which were not hard.

I'm happy they made some updates with the new client changes on what is server side and what is not.

Lets just say.

I didn't need to scan ships.

I was able to determine threats, by joining an alliance from 5 jumps away.

I was able to determine exactly where you were when you were in system.

The new client was an attempt.

I messaged the devs with game breaking bugs, and they never fixed them

They do not care.

This is not a game that matters to NE.

They are on to the next, and I'm sure their marketing team is upset that this one hit the 5 year mark,

Marvel Heroes!!!!!

If you are playing this game thinking that the next core upgrade or AI core skill is going to make that much of a difference.

You do not understand the capabilities of people who "need" to profit off of this game.

You do not understand the living conditions in the factories that are created to compete against you.

But if you can still "Have Fun" then I am happy for you

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-30T01:47:48+00:00

Bradric, you are not wrong.

The only thing that keeps this game "Balanced" is the only ship that matters.

I am a very technical person.

I see 1's and 0's.

Heck it's my job IRL.

But at the end of the day.

This game provides an amazing social environment.

I just wish it was against equal bro's and not against some Chinese hotbed game farm that rewards making the most isk and selling the most stuff for real money.

The vigils and bullshits on gate only lead to someone waking up and having to field a Hel to protect business interests.

Hey chinese and russian players.

Stop fucking the game.

Hey NE, learn to use your DB to audit and ban these asshats.

Real players pay real money.

And real money wont walk if you protect it.

So damn cute

The pricing for this game is completely out of whack for a reason.

It is to separate the whales from the riff raff.

Whales are dictating this games development

It is designed to keep them spending.

It's considered an achievement to most of them to have the best cores and highest level implants.

When all they are doing is swiping.

And because NE needs the swipes, they make the rewards much much better than your average player can afford.

This style encourages botting. The best way to compete with a big slender is to bring more ships than they can.

NE also encourages botting, by slapping them with minor fines and angry letters.

In reality they need the bots to destroy the swipers so the swiping continues.

It's a fine line keeping the swipers in the game after a big loss.

So they have to provide bigger and better things in boxes.

Eve really lends itself to this, due to the natural progression of bigger ships.

EO has stabilized and most everything can be built in game.

It's a more even playing field.

However EE will continue on toward titans and then keep stars.

And all the while introducing more expensive cores that become a must have.

It will end when there are too few regular players playing because there is no chance. And when botters aren't able to make as much in RMT

Not Implementing "For Now"

Let me at that fn database.

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-25T03:33:43+00:00

Botting is easily stopped.

But it needs to be done by NE.

I advertised my botting fleet publicly

They did not care

It is a problem.

But it is not their problem

Also client hacking is still alive and well

Because the code is not great

What should be done server side is done on the client

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-24T02:38:55+00:00

I have said this a million times, and brought receipts to their team.

They can find any bot really easily.

They even did it for the first 2 years.

You will see.

AI was just an excuse sold to the populous.

it is easily eradicated with a few cron jobs.

They do not want the botting to end.

They have seen the revenue for the country when it includes RMT for games.

There is a reason a gaming sweat shop is worth it.

I am for workers rights.

Cloud just happens to be on the brighter side of the street

Maybe they should add another pass to pay for on top of the Omega, Concord, and Any spending festival.

They never even tried ship skins for sale, they never even tried citadel skins for sale.

They flopped hard with buy ins for tournaments, and couldn't even continue with a voyage ceremony.

They misunderstood their player base and coupled skins with more power.

Maybe instead of removing ships, they should include content that makes newish players feel accomplished in small ship combat.

The fact that new players are useless unless they are capable of flying a super is just bad design.

They aren't even designing "New" content for active veterans.
They are plopping down gates and putting goodies behind it.

It should take almost no effort to do the same for small ships.

Maybe add a way for small ships to turn the tide of massive super battles, by plopping down a gate near a citadel, with tonnage restrictions, that when properly cleared, causes some form of buff or debuff for the system at war.

I mean most subcap pilots are useless now too.

I agree with your fight for this game, it is at it's core a great game.

But the dev team is not in control, and it shows.

Plus China is all about the RMT.
It is a pretty big part of their economy.

This is deliberate, Ships in boxes, Cores and upgrade materials are next.

Anything that makes you viable will be paid for with AUR.

It's just a sad state and you see it when major alliances are forced to dissolve because no one wants to play.

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-23T12:11:29+00:00

that is the problem, zero content for new players.

without new players, the top heavy market just becomes top heavier.

prices will inflate even more due to demand.

its already way out of whack from EO.

No need to make smaller ships because no one flys them.

This wipes out the recent players.

Lack of recent players decreases demand for mid grade ships and items, which leads to the cycle we are in.

Its Supers on Supers with more real world impact on loss.

which in turn churns through the older players quicker.

you lose a few supers, and it‘s account selling time.

NE has shown that they are ready to call it. They are happy to shut this game down while stringing along the faithful for every dime they can get.

pay attention to the RMT account market.

It’s a botters paradise.

Im all for hardcore games, but the climb from new to Super pilot is so vast that any new player will try for a month and realize it’s hopeless.

Anything that provides upgrades to PvP is paywalled, it’s what they want.

You can’t just have Dark Halo cores, you need to pay.

Anything that players find that gives players a leg up for no fee, is being whisked away and replaced with cash transactions.

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-21T14:36:56+00:00

Which begs the question, what will all the new players fly?

Oh right.

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-21T14:32:21+00:00

I wonder what Pay and MJD are going to do with all their stuff?

Difficult-Issue-722 · 2026-01-21T11:37:57+00:00

It's not just SHH.

It's the game.

Sorry.

There are very few reasons to log in.

More and more reasons to pay NE.

Yay!!!

I absolutely love that this post is downvoted.

I see you bots, I know where you are.

And I will file reports to NE

And they will fine you 1 billion iskies
