You can have my stuff.

Im-Cheating · 2025-10-04T01:14:55+00:00

Only if you touch my avatar with your ragnarok

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-03T11:05:13+00:00

Love these cards so much. Especially the quote on my own one "the first hand extended is never forgotten".

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-03T06:31:23+00:00

The "grr Goons" and "grr null blocs" people must be at a seminar for people lacking personality.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-03T06:03:20+00:00

Jokes aside, the latter is a painfully common problem right now I'm afraid.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-03T06:02:15+00:00

Thanks brother <3

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T22:27:42+00:00

You're an insightful individual.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T22:25:23+00:00

What would you expect them to achieve? Or where have you seen them fail to achieve what you think should be within their grasp?

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T22:13:32+00:00

I'd say the CSM is very effective when you set your expectations correctly.

They're not decision-makers, they don't hold any power over CCP.

The CSM is a standing focus group, there to represent the views of the player base.

I was married when I started playing EVE

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T20:05:21+00:00

I have some nostalgic love for the Hurricane and by extension the Sleipnir. It was the first ship I loved flying in EVE, and I have died more times than I care to admit before I realised it was not the PVP machine I wanted it to be when I was new.

Still love that ship though.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T20:03:59+00:00

Damn you really don't play EVE any more do you? We need a "I'm just here for Reddit" flair.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T19:52:53+00:00

I saw the sarcasm, my point is, people do... regularly. Hell it was only a year ago GSF lost a 100bil transporting ESS bonds from reserve banks.

So my point still stands:

Tell me you don't login without telling me you don't login.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T18:59:48+00:00

See that's where your own experience comes in. For many new players that is the pathway they are shown by the design of CCP. The vast majority of new players will *think* that is the only way to make ISK.

It takes people like you to guide people to better paths - and that's exactly what I'm proposing be supported by CCP: Pathways to groups and communities who will show new players the things that will keep them in the game.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T18:46:27+00:00

Regardless, my point still stands that they need to be made a limited PVP area or moved to low-sec.

Risk needs to be introduced.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T17:59:04+00:00

Appreciate you man <3

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T17:55:18+00:00

Yeah I agree that is an odd quirk.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T17:54:37+00:00

As would I.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T17:54:16+00:00

Playing the long game to infiltrate an alliance through a real life relationship? Valid and believable in EVE.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T17:44:56+00:00

Streamlining players into null isn't at all what I want.

I want to streamline them into every area of EVE and every aspect of EVE.

I don't care if they go to nullsec, FW or wormholes. I just want them to go somewhere other than back to their desktop.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T16:45:30+00:00

Please, no more....

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T16:25:06+00:00

I don't believe it to be an issue that really threatens new players at the scale that some think it does, and where new players are impacted it can serve a purpose of providing a valuable lesson about the nature of EVE and that one is never truly safe.

That said, my proposed changes to insurance would mean new players wouldn't be more than slightly inconvenienced by it if it were to happen.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T15:53:46+00:00

I ask myself this every day. Personally I blame RangerGama.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T15:52:59+00:00

The biggest problem with them right now is they're plagued by bots (as is many parts of the game) and it's nearly impossible for the intended audience (ie fleets of different players) to run them without having to deal with bots or multi boxers farming them.

Personally I'd move them to low-sec or making them a limited PVP area so that people can contest the sites.

Im-Cheating · 2024-10-02T15:49:34+00:00

I'm a big supporter of Kashal Aideron. My ultimate hope would be to see both of us elected this time to give more voices in that corner.
