This is not a condemnation of CCP because I understand businesses and there structure seeing as how I studied these things , nor am I complaining or trying to garner some sort of movement but just trying to understand if I'm just feeling this way or not and the fact that I actually care about Dust 514 and the well being of this game and it's participants that I make this or ask the question ... has it gotten to you ?

I play this game , not much because I don't have the free time that I had when I first found this and while playing and having to have to go threw the changes , not talking about how conditions are now but pre FF 2013 when things were prob in the beginning of what eventually lead up to the point were at now and things like vehicle designs were changed and you didn't have much of a selection in the dept of assault rifles and such and people weren't using RE's as grenades and you didn't see jihad jeepers , nether did you have a selection of heavies .

This game has changed in a short amount of time and I'm not complaining or saying that this went wrong but the implement of strong boxes and the fact that a key cost 800 aurum , is bothering me and taking away my feeling for playing this game .

I spend money like most of you and it just seems to be a moot point when most run around in fitted suits that while yes , they cost them real money ... they can fight and die 30 times and not have to pay a single ISK , I see them and I have to kill them but in my mind I just feel like it didn't even count and if I die I would be more likely to feel it and it's not a case of , " well get your own . " ... because there are those who have every fitting , all the load outs and BPO's including vehicle's , so it just not that simple .

It just seems to looses purpose and effects those who can't match that even a bit , or like I said ... " Maybe it's just me ." I just know that while I sit broke , these same people are racking in the ISK's hand over fist and if there opening strongboxes , there making even more of a killing and stretching the distance between themselves and the average players and it's not always instinct and skill that define this advantage .

It's just seeming like it's more about what's in your wallet then what's left on the field and that's what's bothering me at the moment .

I'm not trying to bash CCP like I said but it could get a little out of control if you allow it and right now it just seemed like too much was done without considerations to the changes in the environment .

I'm not knocking those who purchase BPO's but it does have an effect on the economy ( say that there's not one if you like but to me there is ) and it does matter when your faced against such .

Kind of makes the kills worthless because it's not effecting you like it does the whole economy .

So how much soup did we all have over Christmas?

i sometimes like to freeze my soup on a stick and lick it like a pop sickle

OP,

Free advice. Make your posts much more brief. They are always too long winded and people don't read them.

I took the time to read it. So my take away is you don't like players having BPO's because it breaks the game. Is that it?

You are the same guy who posted a thread about every other day for months crying, begging for respecs. Even your sig was a whine for respecs.

So you got them. But you don't want BPO's? Respecs=yes BPO's=no Do I have that right?

So I have to ask. What exactly will make you happy?

I'm paying fake money that I earn by playing a video game that I enjoy to destroy real money that other people earn by working at a job they most likely dont enjoy.

Yes it is totally getting to me: in that its absolutely hilarious and I love shooting virtual bullets bought by a virtual gun into their virtual suits bought by real money.

Don't mind this guy^^^ Your topic went way over his head. I get what your saying. The APEX suits make the game repetitive and boring. It eliminates the thrill of the skill tree and de-values the market. With more isk in players pockets, the value of isk depreciates, much like in our own economy. The more dollars produced, the less they are worth. Not to mention, we will only see the same old fits day after day...no variety.

Why are you people going off topic?

Let's go back to talking about soup, please.

I actually had Lentil soup over the winter break.

9/10, it was really good. Had it with tomatoes and greens in a stew-ish way.

Lentil is a classic.

What kinds of bread do you like with your soup? I've always been partial to a bit of bread with soup.

I love Tomato soup. It's fantastic, especially when had with fresh Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.

It's just that I often crave for something a bit out of the way, and I typically don't enjoy seafood.

My dad is huge fan of Bean and Bacon though.
