You generate more clones for free and with that you can launch more attacks on hostile districts. The change is there to encourage fighting. On the plus side even if one alliance has all districts they have to fight each other to generate ISK. This could either mean that large groups dont take over all of the districts or they fight each other for fun in starter fits/BPO's.

I'm sorry your vision is so narrow you can't see how to make ISK in the new environment. Heck I know even Zatara has some pretty creative plans to continue to make ISK. Players will find a way and passive ISK will be put to bed.

Also, not really "moving over to goons" since I've been there all along. Fact is that Roman, Espeon, and the other leaders deserve their time to run things. What happens to ERA is up to them and it's extremely clear.

Again, getting rid of passive ISK was the plan all along. Just needed a bit more firepower to lay the groundwork for a convincing argument and bluing up all of the best players in the game did the trick. Everyone was so willing to suck at the teat of passive ISK they were willing to do anything to protect it. Even destroy all of PC and everyone's access to it in the process while allying with people that they hated.

No, this is the product of Nyain San using PC funding to wage war against militia players in pubs. They made a PC problem into everyones problem. They weren't the only ones doing it, but they did it the most. You are acting like this is a case of someone losing a PC fight and not being happy about it cause they didn't get to collect the reward. Thats not the case at all.

CCP is not making the game "boring". They are just ending a massive entitlement and subsidies program that a handful of players were using to negatively impact the game.

In an earlier post you said "Well now all someone has to do to bleed out Nyain San is run them down in pubs". Good! The cost of the proto equipment is part of balancing. Its high costs is supposed to limit how often a player will choose to lose it, lest they cross into the red ink. So now Nyain will have their entitlements tap turned off and will have to compete on their own merit.

if they are good players this wont be a problem for them. Cutting off the CCP issued ISK welfare check should make things much more interesting all around.

Its not about prioritizing game modes. The concept is exceedingly simple to understand:

PC passive ISK was supposed to be used to bankroll PC warfare; Conquests, defenses, and reimbursing your mercenaries for their losses. Instead, corps agreed to not fight eachother just to hold land . They refused to play so they could use the PC ISK like a welfare check to finance other endeavors.

Since PC ISK was not being used to finance PC, its being removed. Thats not my fault. Blame those who colluded to not fight and just collect passive ISK.

...Meanwhile, new players were getting stomped and decided to give up on the game, significantly hurting player retention and ensuring that the top tier of the playerbase would remain stagnant. Therefore ensuring that the future generation of competitive players would be sparse.

What is this insatiable need to stroke your e-peen truly about, why do you continue to do it?

You say that, but the inability to read into sentences leaves you lacking perspective, if you had asked, I would have said that my signature is that way because of the Legion announcement and how it made me feel. If you had asked I would have said, my previous post was posted as such because i wasn't trolling, I was straight up calling you on your BS. As it wasn't breaking of doctrine, your last sentence is wholly inaccurate. Either you jumped to conclusions or you designed your post entirely around a prefabricated idea of me and Dunning-Kruger Effect.

I dont have Dev access to the numbers Dust generates. All I got is that out of 10 friends i referred, 0 are still playing, and all gave more or less the same reason as to why they abandoned Dust.

You obviously have some kind of inferiority complex that is magnified by video game success, so you might not understand this, but its equally unfun to be on the side that is doing the stomping. People like a good game. Suppressing the enemy inside their red line makes for an boring match.

When you are a new player, and every match is either "All the enemies are hiding from me in the MCC" or "im hiding from the enemies in the MCC", it makes playing futile and people just play other games. You may not realize this, but the FPS market is saturated. You dont give people a good reason to stay, they wont.



LOL You are into defecating on people? Thats a little extreme, I dont need to hear about that.
