Of course people get bored and leave, you've made a game based on a pseudo-business model like EVE where making economical choices is a big part of the game, and in your game the most optimal economical choice is to NOT PLAY or COMPETE, because the things to compete over (Beta, Gamma) have no tangible or profitable net gain.

With no reason to fight over anything and create a drain on resources, the only choices left to the players are to keep stacking more zeroes behind more zeroes (because I really need that extra trillion NIC) or not play until a war breaks out and jabber gets pinged.

Not to mention your latest atrocious balancing that made all the players who specialized years of EP into EWar/EnWar/Pelistal be the red headed stepchild in the metagame. And we all know what happens to little red headed stepchildren.

I've been telling you the same thing about Beta since the VERY FIRST TIME you nerfed it when you decided moving titan ore completely off Beta was going to stimulate Alpha - Beta trading.

Continue not listening, you got a great track record there buddy!

As many times as necessary for it to become apparent that the Devs are either;

a) Actively ignoring a large part of the playerbase.
b) Have no idea what to do with the Beta islands.
c) Gunner purged Zoom for not being a spy, just an artist.

Posting proof is against the EULA and forum rules.

Botting has been widespread on Alpha 2 islands, particularly Hershfield and Shinjalar.

Spicy you dirty hobo sitting there in the AFK channel being all AFK...

MOTHERLAND CALLS ^^

So Zoom, how much time do we have left - roughly - to milk the cow before you remove static spawns? I mean, we've been milking it for months now and it's getting a little bit ridiculous.

I'm interested in what the actual Devs have to say, not wannabe Devs.

This aint your first patch rodeo boyos. You know how it works.

The master race plays dota

Think most of the Devs quit by now, last I heard on the grapevine theres only 2-3 of them left.

Probes are functioning and balanced pretty good.

You are the prime culprit for whining until Zoom removed what little reward on Beta there was with missions and explosion damage.

Creating the problem then offering a solution that benefits you and everyone else in your alliance that can't capture a station, sounds like quality Dev manipulation.

Zoom it's funny how you remove explosion damage in 72 hours after topic & ticket spam from people that couldn't be bothered to go kill scarab mk2's near Moyar, but you let those same people run bots on Alpha for months and that's not a problem.

Favoritism to old Closed Beta GM's much?

Anyone living on Alpha should be making the most of their income by mining titan ore and selling it on the market.

Nerf it until it is so.

Meanwhile, botting continues.
