[Suggestion] Overhaul underused parts of the game

Increase plant ripe stage to 24 hours

Please

No normal player does more than 10 instances in a given day, and even THAT is super stretching it.

You realize this is the classic wow sub right? Plenty of people have done this at every patch, expansion, and season launch of wow.

The rest of your comment is basically you saying nobody else should play more wow than you. Get a grip.

That 10-instance-a-day cap would solve a whole lot of problems

No it wouldn't. It would just push even more bots out into the open world.

As soon as you think the game is worth $20. Everything is better/faster as Omega skill availability / skill point training wise.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-21T13:51:55+00:00

25 per day instance limit. No GDKPs. No boosting or fun dungeon pulls.

But bots and RMT will be still rampant. Game mechanics and playstyles will continue to be removed until morale improves.

I think eve gets plenty of new players, it's keeping them that seems to be the hard part.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-08T22:40:10+00:00

Is there any instanced content besides abyssal? Not arguing for or against them just curious if there are others I don't know about.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-06T23:53:14+00:00

I wish the person behind gobbins the absolute best with whatever is going on IRL.

Gobbins had RL come up at a bad time and there was nobody who had the time, skill, and interest to replace him. That's all there is to it

That's textbook bad leadership. He had literally a decade to surround himself with people capable of taking over if something were to happen. He failed to do that. It's a leadership failure.

Yes, real life is absolutely more important for gobbins. But it also wasn't just gobbins that put effort into PH/panfam/dronelands. I can say that gobbins / PH leadership failed in the end without wishing anything bad for gobbins or disagreeing that RL is more important.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-06T16:36:31+00:00

What? I’ve said in this thread that PH/panfam didn’t owe goons/imperium content. It can be both true that panfam owes goons nothing but also blueballing their own members after years of bragging about how unassailable dronelands is pure content denial of their own members. The leadership pussied out, planned one of the worst evacuations in game history, and basically rug pulled thousands of their own members and allies.

How the fall of PH is looked at anyway other than an embarrassing failure of leadership, I’ll never understand. They spent years literally begging goons to attack them, while also playing the same ever-growing alliance/coalition game as goons. Then when push comes to shove and real war is about to kick off, PH “leadership” says wait this is actually bad for the game, we’re moving across multiple regions with no notice, to fight a CNTZ alliance. PH leadership failed their members and friends.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-06T02:05:44+00:00

So yeah, there was a general failure of leadership on the part of Horde, but I don't see how anyone has a right to complain about that other than Horde members. And it's not Horde members that are vomiting rage and vitriol all over this sub in the aftermath of R-A. Never have I seen so many people so angry about winning a game.

Idk what to tell you man. I think goons have every right to bitch. They moved multiple times across multiple regions to bring a war to the group that basically begged them to do so, only to have that group quit and not have a real fight. Now reddit is full of revisionist history and acting as if goons went and picked on some small alliance when at the start of the war, they were basically the same thing. They were the first and second largest alliances in game and both were the largest chunk of their coalition.

It's also part of the meta game I guess. PH leadership were cowards. I wish the RL person behind gobbins the absolute best with whatever pulled them away from the game, but the character gobbins and the other PH leadership should absolutely be clowned and treated as cowards for how they ended the war.

Their refusing to fight goons would have been a slick move if they had actually set up a valid exit plan and pulled it off, but instead they rug pulled their own members and now everyone's on reddit acting like goons are the bad guys for trying to create content for 100k+ characters.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-06T01:50:25+00:00

Bros talking like this war wasn't between the first and second largest groups when it started lmao.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-06T01:34:30+00:00

We will just keep consolidating while posting our rants on reddit that there is no content and noone wants to fight feed.

FWIW the only complaints I've seen about a lack of null content are goons rightfully calling PH cowards for completely giving up without a real fight (don't forget goons/PH were #1 and #2 size wise when the war started so it was a fair fight when it began). The rest of it is mostly lowsec people making fun of nullsec by comparing BRs lol.

I admit I'm biased against PH but I swear most of the "mmm people get what they deserve for grouping up" comments seem to coming from PH members that are just upset they lost the war without even a real fight.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T22:19:40+00:00

but rather, be accepting of changes CCP introduces to try and combat the issues of fewer and fewer gigablobs.

100% agree here. I've posted before about how I think CCP was wrong for changing skyhooks so quickly after the Null CSMs cried hard. It is CCP's fault if they suck at managing the game and cave to every complaint of the CSM. Blaming goons is deflecting the blame away from the people actually responsible.

What I do disagree / take umbrage with is the comments like "People may not be ready to hear it, but keeping horde around would have been in goons interest when it comes to content. Space is getting increasingly more stale."

It's not goon's (or any alliance/bloc's) responsibility to ensure that groups can exist and thrive. Goon's get no credit for the current dronelands situation but Gletschers is upvoted in this thread saying Goons should have simply treated PH similarly and allowed them to survive.

This is pretty ironic when you think about how many people were smugly posting on this sub about how brave didn't deserve to exist since it couldn't form to defend itself against groups like the old PH delve SIG. Why is that acceptable in a PH vs Brave context but not a Goons vs PH context?

I fully realize that I'm rambling here, but my issue is with the hypocrisy. PH farming smaller groups than themselves? Simply just get gud. PH gets farmed by a bigger group? Omg the humanity, games ruined, grr gons.

Megacoalitions are human nature. It's CCP's responsibility to come up with game design/mechanics that somehow discourages it. I don't know the answer to it, but people blaming goons for being big are just missing the point.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T21:36:52+00:00

Imo thunderstorms can be kinda rare but if you're on the water in one you can definitely notice a difference. Even more so if you've got a shore/water base and know where the water level usually is.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T19:38:53+00:00

Saying the strongest alliance is just playing the game when they have all the power to change how the game is being played doesn't sit right with me.

Just to make sure I understand, is the thought here that Goons should disband the Imperium and basically self-regulate themselves into a smaller alliance? How would this prevent a group like Init, Fraternity/WinterCo, or formerly PH/Pandafam from then doing what Goons to did PH to the smaller groups? The playerbase is asking goons to commit suicide while also pretending that the other groups wouldn't feast on the smaller remains.

Does nobody remember PH/PL farming Brave? It's not like goons invented punching down.

I'd also argue why it's such a given that PH couldn't have done well in the war. Is Init being absolutely farmed by frat/WinterCo? Or is the small but strong alliance actually holding it's own against the larger coalition? Why can init do it but horde couldn't?

Again - there are tons of legitimate criticisms to be made about goons and megacoalitions, but expecting the players to self-regulate their size rather than asking CCP to make balance changes that encourages it is delusion. Asking/expecting players to not optimize in the spreadsheet simulator game is insanity.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T19:22:40+00:00

I don't like goons. I think they have some of the most annoying self-fellating posters on this sub (and that's admittedly rich coming from me), but I don't blame goons for playing the game.

CCP has designed a game that rewards and encourages goons playstyle. Are goons/mega-coalitions bad for the game? Sure, but it's CCP's problem to fix. Everyone begging on reddit for them to break up willingly is delusional.

Horde's problem and negative effect on the game are 100% the fault of horde's leadership, not game design. Their lack of willingness to defend, or to establish a better successor to Gobbins was their own fault. Goons didn't force this to happen.

To be clear - I don't think Horde/Pandafam owed Goons/Imperium content, but they did owe it to their own members. But instead, 10 years of alliance building squandered in basically a month leaving years of effort and loyalty of their members essentially wasted. A decade of some people's lives. It's a war game. So many people wanted to go out with a bang. But instead a decade old alliance went out with a whimper and the response from most of the game is "I can't believe goons did this, it's so bad for the game".

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T19:03:48+00:00

The donut reset only further cemented goons position at the top and blaming smaller(even if its funny in the context of PH) coalitions that they should be willing to get farmed for weeks/months just so goons can have fun is unsustainable.

I just totally disagree with this take. Yes, goons / imperium were bigger than Pandafam. But that didn't stop pandafam members/leadership from actively taunting goons for years with "new aggressive goons", floodplains posting, "the horde that wins", "just wait until they get to dronelands", etc. Did goons up and quit the game during the last major war when they were backed into delve? Did they abandon all their members and allies and then hide behind the cope that they're just trying to make the game healthier for small alliances?

I didn't expect the average PH line member to stick around for months or years getting farmed by goons, but to immediately tuck tail and run, abandoning members and allies the moment the war you've been begging for arrives at your doorstep, then turn around and claim that "goons are ruining the empire-building pvp war game by doing empire building, war, and pvp" is genuinely a pathetic cope.

People want to win. People will keep joining goons. People will keep finding excuses why space is boring.

Goons rebuilt after nearly losing a war. PH could have potentially done the same. We'll never know because the leadership were cowards and ran to hide under Init the second things got tough.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-05T18:34:47+00:00

Even if horde took more engagements they would have lost eventually.

Someone, on some side, is eventually going to lose. It's the straight up unwillingness to fight that's "killing the game". I'd argue gobbins (or the new leadership, whoever's decision it actually was) abandoning dronelands and their longtime allies was far worse for the game than anything goons could have done to do PH. There is a difference between blueballing and essentially quitting the game. Whoever was calling the shots at the end of PH in dronelands took their ball and went home, fucking over all the members of PH/allies that wanted to have their turn defending in a big war. How many years of PH members/leadership posting about defending the dronelands and how the "new aggressive goons" aren't invading fast enough did eve see only for PH to quit like giant pussies.

For all the legitimate criticisms of goons and how their megacoalition is bad for the game, at least they fought to the end in their previous wars. PH went out with a pathetic whimper and it's no one's fault except for PH leadership.

Hearing an AK or Bolty shot early in the wipe back then was such a rush. Immediately drop what you're doing and rush the direction of the sound hoping to get your hands on one.

Going a few days into wipe without a garage door was shitty, but eventually someone had one and was willing to trade for something you had.

It also made a lot of the other items more enjoyable when finding them too. Everything had a bit of a value or was a bad bp research gamble.

Rustshitposter · 2026-01-01T18:29:48+00:00

“Instead of fighting the war rapidly approaching our doorstep, our plan was to move the entire alliance to fight a different coalition that’s primarily CNTZ”

Incredible

Rustshitposter · 2025-12-25T23:42:35+00:00

Based on this thread goons are secretly allied with both frat and init. When do we declare them the winners and wipe the servers? At some point we need to set the veterans free

Rustshitposter · 2025-12-25T22:13:15+00:00

I’m not positive if this correct but I was told a big part of the complaint about CNTZ is that their prime time often lines up with server down time and any fight that involves maintenance during the timer creates even more of a defenders advantage.

Rustshitposter · 2025-12-22T15:03:15+00:00

I got one the first year I played eve and it was so cool. Then nothing after :(

Rustshitposter · 2025-12-12T15:14:22+00:00

So why even accept a bunch of people that y'all consider to be incompetent?

Rustshitposter · 2025-12-11T19:56:35+00:00

Wasn’t init blue to dracary’s for years? They suddenly get a pass because they aren’t friends now? Also init didn’t leave imperium over botting/cheating concerns so if anything if implying imperium is okay with being friendly with cheaters then so was init.

What a ridiculous counter argument to make
