I'm looking at that link but I honestly don't know what you mean. I see all kinds of robots being used.


Now really I don't mean to offend.

But if you cannot see what I clearly, and I meant to leave it out, what the other players have picked up on. 

Then there is a serious disconnect.

There is ample time for a serious sample sizing, and of what bots are being used, rather not used. 

If you wanted balance, you need to get INTO, yes actually scan down bots on field to understand what is OP and what is underpowered. 

Get involved in the meta, change it tweak it slowly and small.  It will change, then react to that slowly and small.

However the foundation that your building upon now is just messed up.  Its a completely different game style from now to then, not by small margins either.

A good example of this simply, was the speed change.  It was huge, changed things in ways I don't think you even understood.  On paper it seems simple and small, but when you get into actual game play, PVP.  It moves the meta forward, changes it in a good way. 

Not looking to agree with all the balancing changes, but this "***" is SOO off base its THEE definition of nuts.

Now you want our input into the game balancing?

Surely your Joking.  What is more comical is you want it to be "backed up by numbers". 

Yea lets shovel this over to the player base for them to fix after we F'ed everything up.  Sure this will get me on vacation again, but really guys this is THEE definition of CRAZY, INSANITY.

Look at the kill board, Link.

Look at what bots are dieing, and being used more then from the previous months.  This isn't a shuffle of game balance here and there, this is game breaking, at comical levels. 

First you insult US for telling you something is wrong, you say "no no your wrong were not doing anything about it".

Then you say "Ok something might be wrong, could you tell us where it is and we might fix it?"

So am I suppose to have you spit in my face, and enjoy it?

This isn't MENT to be overly abrasive, it is ment to take the same tone that you are giving your player base right now.

I will give you some credit, you have to sift through the consistent political BS everyday.  EVERY single day, very few posters accutally leave there tags at the door. For this you do have my pitty.

Of when this train wreck will finally be closed down.

Both sides have finally given up, aside from no name nobody's who want to keep playing the broken game.

Need proof, its in CD.  Now normally I would come up with some well written blah blah blah.  I can't be, well, Time don't need to spend. 

Word of warning, don't waste your time with this crap.

Crap Patch, terrible support, and *** (Speaking of Dev's here, players can, and should do what they wish within the EULA).

We are at a time when gaming usually ramps up due the cold reaches of winter coming upon us. 
But they are all flocking to, that other game, hell any other game.

Now for my content!

You cannot expect, in the year 2014, for players to put up with such incompetence, and terrible game play for "long" and then expect them to give you MORE money.  Any thoughts of this being otherwise, well Madness.

I would have liked to see the miner change coming "softer", but don't think it would be good to counter that now with a 50% boost.
Such changes that influence the complete market should be applied in a very sensitive way. An increase ob base yield for 50%  means there is no reason to mine before that patch for endgame miners, as the change would be that drastical on the mined ammount/time.


So its not "too late" what 5 days after the fact, and all the minerals mined in that time will be enough to piss people off and make them quit?

This is a hot fix issue, patch it up tomorrow and be done.

But, what we will get is a half assed promise of "this is what we will do, but it will be 3 months before we might do it".
In the mean time, that three months is enough time for the reverse to occur, the damage will be done.

This is what Zoom plans on happening, a delayed tactic, promise something great and hope we forget about it.

No it will happen in some form or another, either a sever wipe, or a  "oh were going to release Perp 2.0 go buy that one."

I really do not believe anything Zoom says, and at this point a firm "No" is about the only answer you can give out.

Zoom doesn't need to see any of them in anyway.

Choices are now being made without the community at large anyway, so why does he need any feedback?

This is generally echoed by the fact that the player base is so low, and then that is used as a crutch for general game breaking things, quickly implemented, in a underhanded way.

I could quote a post by Zoom, but I don't want another 5 day forced vacation, again.

The patch has seemed to demotivate a lot of newer players.   Several of them have logged in, found they weren't able to drive their mk2 bots anymore, and won't have the EP for the pre-req exts AND the high tech ext for a few days. They subsequently have just stopped playing now that they're forced to take a step backwards when they already felt behind in the first place. Mk2s are not cheap for new players both in terms of EP and NIC.

Basically my corp has been cut by 1/4 or so.  The more dedicated group is still playing but is discouraged by the increase in harvest/mining grind. Our most dedicated miner ran the numbers and found he won't be able to achieve his previous mining 'ability?' for several months due to prioritization of other needed new player skills. 

I'm hoping this is a temporary shock reaction and they'll be back.  It's a dangerous game to play though. Taking people's progress away from them is not a very good idea especially in a game where that progress relies on such heavy grind.  To make it worse, you did it to people who are still undecided on the game.

-2 points guys sad

No offense, really don't take me all like "he crazy and hates me", but we don't care, nor do the Dev Team.

You have already bought the game, and as they have very little intention of adding a ingame store they really don't care to take anymore of your cash at hand.

The game economics seen very little based on keeping a player actually playing the game, let alone giving more money to the game.

We have certain plans that will change the economy and this fits into that plan. I won't say more about it yet because it's not quite ready for the public and I wouldn't be able to answer all your questions.

Contrary to what I read all around the forums, this change affects rather the veteran players with high level extensions, not the newbies. It's pretty clear that at low levels the bonus reduction is negligible as the bonus itself is also negligible at that point (5%->3% at level 1). All other extensions and tunings that directly affect mining and harvesting yield are unchanged, not to mention the extra slots for the Argano and the Laird.

That said, we realize that this currently hits the industry more than we would like, so we'll increase mining and harvesting yields by 50% in the next patch. (This change might be temporary.)

So then, oh I dont know, maybe do the change WHEN YOU COME OUT with a blog with your reasoning?

Is insanity a normal occurrence over "their"?  Also I would like a Dev statement over the proposed new law to take more of your richly hard earned money.
