One small corp has proto stomped, used overpowered weapons, cheap exploit tactics and spawned killed it to death. One corp of about 10 guys. How does that make you feel CPP? A market of a billion people, destroyed by a handful. Slow clap fellas.

After all this time, the server is dead as *****. All this is because CCP has completely failed to make a game for Playstation users. Instead they made a dudebros game for the Eve antisocial type who do anything to win "spying and sabotage is so meta crowd." And they pushed out the playstation FPS players. The keyboard is the first clue.

Why is PC messed up? That crowd.
Why are game numbers down? That crowd. "Can I have your stuff?"
Why didn't they fix AFK farming? That crowd.
Why exploiters aren't banned? That crowd.
Why no SP reset on game launch day? That crowd.

What do I think has gone wrong? Very simple.
They listened to that crowd.

The problems with PC are the same issues as pub stomping, flavour of the week weapons use and MCC AFK farming. A spoiled brat self entitled anti-social EVE player playerbase that CCP doesn't have the balls to smack down for fear of reprisals in EVE.

MCC AFK farmers should have been banned and or stripped of SP starting from day 1.
Proper matchmaking via gear restriction tiers implemented so K/D farmers had to fight for it.
On 5/14 and end of beta testing all SP should have been reset.
Anyone caught using exploits banned.

Why didn't this happen?

Because there wouldn't have been any o'time Eve players left. Hilarious, because instead you would have had your market of dudebros playing their FPS... you know... that MASSIVE market you were trying to break into. Whoops

I guess the game having no new content for so long, or the fact that the game still feels like I'm wading through mud has nothing to do with people leaving?

AFK'ers have no effect on people leaving, in fact some people are still on DUST BECAUSE they can still AFK.

Matchmaking issues has been brought up since early Chromosome. CCP ignored the feedback or was busy taking vacations... so w/e at this point. Nullabor is working on a matchmaking system now, but it's kinda closing the barn door when the horse has already escaped.

How are people exploiting or cheating? You made no example.

SP reset? loooool... if that happened there would be FAR less people playing this game.

No I'm not a lolEVE player. I just wanna shoot people, and when that doesn't feel fun anymore, people will leave.

Did you not happen to see the several page long, few thousand views, hundreds of replies 377/1 gorrilrape match?

there is your example, and it is going to ruin this game if there is never any consequence

I agree with op entirely. The evetards have pushed this game into what it was intended to be. A proto-pub-stomp-fest. So sub-par players can compete with fps from the playstation nation. Dedicated no lifers (eve players) who can proto stomp because they have the time to afk and cap on a weekly basis on multiple accounts. We psn players have played many many shooters, this is all evetards got, so they stick to their guns. Ps4 and planetside cant come any quicker for me.

More time envested the easier mode it becomes.

I didn't read, cuz i didn't care.

1 guy boosted = people exploiting / cheating?

What is "a game for Playstation users?"

Do you mean the inclusion of KB/M support, or that the KB/M support ain't so great?

Why are game numbers down? That crowd. "Can I have your stuff?"
If "Can I have your stuff" and "HTFU" keeps makes people leave, I don't understand how all the racist, homophobic chatter in other shooters hasn't made them fold yet.

Why didn't they fix AFK farming? That crowd.
AFK farming is doable by anyone, and helps anyone who does it. I don't know how it could be attributed to "that crowd" only.

Why exploiters aren't banned? That crowd.
I don't think it's "that crowd" so much as CCP being slow to act. Exploits in EVE aren't really allowed, either, at least not in the boosting sense. Other things, like "doomcats," are seen as "clever use" and then CCP usually fixes the mechanics.

Why no SP reset on game launch day? That crowd.
When the beta went from closed to open, everyone was reset. However, when it went from open beta to ";aunch" (launchbeta, really, as it's still missing basic content), there was no reset because it was an open beta. Anyone could have joined, you didn't need special privileges, there were no restrictions. Joining on launch day and insisting that open beta sp be reset is akin to joining now and insisting everyone's sp be reset, because there was nothing game-side wise keeping you out. I even remember seeing ads for the open beta on the PSN.

... seriously?

That is ONE instance

why do you think you get no wp for repairing a blue vehicle on fire? Why do you think dropships don't get mrcu wp? why do you think we only get so many wp for repairing infantry?

because of one guy? right, right? must be

I was there when a corp started this. CCP fixed it. By you not getting WP's for repping

there's a cool down period.

Too many responses came in for me to reply to them all but since you disagree and ask a specific question.

First AFK farming is an exploit. SP = Skill, free skills for those who abuse a mechanic, it is cheating.
Shooting through MCC walls and shields, dropping R/Es into the hidden pocket on objectives. Shooting through known hollow walls and hills. All this stuff was happening during BETA. They were supposed to be logged and reported, instead the BETA crowd took full advantage. Multiple accounts for passive SP is also an issue, but standard procedure in EVE as I hear.

You defend AFKing for free ISK and SP. This alone most people consider an exploit. It was reported as an exploit, but instead of being fixed.......... became standard procedure for people the game simply does not need to succeed. We'd be better off without them.

CCP never said, nor the CPM, that AFK is an exploit. So your little explanation of why it is, is null and void.

It's a game mechanic. You get SP for time spent in game. I thought EVE is all about HTFU and "adapt or die"... seems people are adapting pretty well to a mechanic in game

lol you wanted people to get banned in Beta? Are you kidding me? That's what a beta is for! For testing and finding out these glitches.

I'm not sure how to respond to this, you missed the point entirely. I suspect your fear is CCP will sit up and take notice of just how accurate these complaints are.. and you're guilty as charged. I could be wrong.

Plus people spent money on boosters. If someone gets their SP reset, or banned for no reason, CCP has to refund them their money. And by no reason I mean, CCP has never said it's against the rules.
