And even worse, I find I have no real desire to go find out the answer. It'll just change.
well said, I feel the same

You can't think of any other way to encourage hunting them then by changing them?seen much activity on those last year or more? =)
P.S. just by pure coincidence both of those are located in the same tax region, you know, I'm not saying anything but...

ATM there are far fewer players willing to lose real money for the entertainment value that EU offers.

shouldn't cld income collapse if this is the case? or is there a new playerbase who clicked all the ads and starting to deposit balancing the game?
ubers leaving= less profit to players = more income to mindark = better lootpool because of newbies who aren't skilled filling it with piew piew azuro/opalo ped?
Well there's a couple of things you have to consider....
1.) MM. I don't dabble in CLD's but how much higher than avg was CLD return during one of the biggest events of the year? My guess is..... "Not as high as it COULD have been".
2.) The influx of lower TT (L) gear means lesser skilled are in fact depositing more to use bigger weapons which are no longer requiring $50 U.S. deposit just to buy a gun and a couple hundred PEDs of ammo. (Taking a nickel from 10000 is better than taking a dollar from 10.)
3.) This last batch of "Nerfs" is too recent to expect a crash in the CLD returns as many are liquidating gear/skills and cycling them away. So instead of having PEDs tied up in their avatars those PEDs are now being dumped into the economy. "No point in doing XYZ so I'll just burn what I got and take a break...." type of thing happening.
In fact... in all actuality.... I don't expect CLD revenues to drop. I expect them to stay the same as the game will see ALOT more small deposits by lesser skilled. Where you're going to see the economy crash is on the upper mid-level to lower high-level gear. The players with 250k skill who might be looking for that Adj fap, or Tiger Armor are too afraid to deposit to buy it at the MU's we've come to accept over the past years. The game is indeed moving in a direction where the costs will be able to compete with many of the other games out there. The players that will feel the "sting" over the next year will be the mid level players who WERE the depositing force for the last 8 years. The "super ubers" will get bit as well but not nearly as bad because Mod Faps, Shadow, Supremacy, Mod Mercs will always be super rare so will still have a healthy MU. (Even though they've gone down considerably as well..... ) MOST of the old school "Ubers" could afford to lose 50% on their super uber gear and still end up in a "Break even over the long-term" situation. Some could TT thier super uber gear and still be in the profit even.

I wonder how many ppl being here more than few yers would take chnge game back to lets say vu 8.4 ?
Game is evolving , truth, but we geting more and more fireworks for a cost of fun we had some time ago. All that reminds me about other MMO out there wchich developers after survey among comunity make its mechanics work like in previous game of that series back from 2002. And gues what....ppl liked it and developers reached their target ( more subscribents ). New ones said its cooler than it was before and lot of oldschool veterans are back again.
But that was made by profesionals, i doubt same can be said about MA ( sadly )
Hi shoti, does the game in question have a RCA? do users have to pay a monthly subscription?

True, but you could have written the same post five years ago. EU is still here
Things like showing the actual protection of armor at less than full tt
Completely agree, changes like this simply add to and expand (or confirm or compliment) our understanding of ingame mechanics.
But those changes that alter those mechanics... Those are the ones I (and clearly you and others) worry about.
