EVE Online Dev Tracker

I assure you, nothing would make me happier than to have zero bots in EVE, right now, right this second. We do as much as we can with the resources we have, which incidentally have been increased substantially with investments, both in teams and tools, over the last year. It does not mean we can respond to every report, all the time. But we are doing our best.

Uncontrolled wealth generation is and was the reason for the scarcity era, and the intent was always to get to a point below healthy, and then add back resources through re-distribution. PLEX price is subject to supply and demand within the economy, so will always adjust to its current state. Someone must always generate the in-game wealth to purchase PLEX so CCP has no financial motive other than the drive for a healthier game for everyone.

I will try to get to the bottom of your issues with the Triglavian invasion content. The Ecosystem segment is responsible for the Triglavian/Edencom distribution and balance, ships and resources and our intent is to create a unique geographical flavor of resources within Pochven.

To you and a few other, the logic of how ice and some other anomalies are distributed, had a few surprises, we have applied a few fixes but are aware that it’s not 100% where it needs to be.

I think balance is very important as it is a key factor in making meaningful choices. A stale capital meta, instead of being an interesting challenge to solve, becomes a tedious chore, over time. You are on the right track with where our vision for ihubs is, to get there may mean multiple small steps towrads that goal.

Everything about it is complicated, who can cloak, how cloaking works, who can cloak and cyno, the different use cases for cloaking, the necessity of big game hunting, local.

It is a precarious balance, and will probably require a number of intermediary steps to get completely right. That’s why it hasn’t been tackled in a meaningful way for years but we are up for the challenge in 2021.

Interesting idea.

More or less spot on!

Usually I would ignore a reply like this, but it is for all intents and purposes, a complete misrepresentation of what we want to do in 2021.

That is a misunderstanding, we can confidently start adding more resources and ISK into the economy, by increasing rewards for the highest risk activities.

I think its quite clear that the majority of our effort has been on reigning in risk free resource generation in nullsec. EVE should be all about risk and reward, and highsec is a big part of the equation, it should have lower risk and appropriate reward.

Geographical scarcity and variance does drive conflict, and did in the past until it was monopolized. We are solving for both with limited quantity and geographically distributed critical resources.

Absolutely, as part of the re-distribution phase we are improving our content distribution tools, duration and quantity logic. Some of these systems are fairly archaic which resulted in some content breaking.

Hi everyone and merry Christmas. We will be keeping a close eye on this thread, and even create a couple of breakout threads for some more in depth analysis if necessary.

I am hoping we can have a good and productive conversation about the multiple topics brought up in the devblog and by the community.

Please keep the conversation civil and on topic. Should you like to discuss CSM in more detail, please do so in the separate section on the forums.

I ran because I wanted to serve on the CSM. I got voted in because people voted for me. I didn’t get any support from the Imperium ballot, so it was INIT and the guys as well as a large number of unaligned folks who elected me. Clowns get elected to the CSM all the time - it’s a popularity contest, dude.

There’s nothing wrong with not paying and still playing. Unless, of course, the reason for not paying is you’re mad at the Devs for changing the game and you want to teach them a lesson....

There is nothing more pathetic than the guy who doesn’t play the game anymore posting on the forums. So yes, you’re doing it right.

We don’t need to disband the CSM, we need to disband you, lol.

Yes, almost as amazing as the idea that you’re going to teach CCP a lesson by playing their game.

Yes, you’re protesting these changes by unsubbing your accounts…

…and then playing the game as much as you did before.

Yeah, that doesn’t teach anybody a lesson, lol.
