EVE General Discussion

Folks, CCP has made it clear that they the direction that their ex-goon (or not ex-goon) lead developer is taking with the game is the path that they want Eve to go down.

There may be tons of people within the corporation who think this is madness, but clearly they are not policy nor decision-makers.

Whether soundwave is collaborating directly with the in-game null sec zealots, or they just co-incidentally are following parallel paths is irrelevant. The fact remains that due to their inaction in stopping the on-going campaign against high sec, CCP management is giving their tacit agreement to the vision of the game that the cfc, csm and soundwave share.

No amount of screaming on the forums will do any good.
No amount of in-game protesting will do any good.
No amount of not logging on will do any good.
No amount of threatening to unsub will do any good.

The only reason that CCP listened last year re: Nex was because the major alliances screamed blue murder.
The only reason that CCP listened this year re: UI was because the POS owners in null sec went nuts.
CCP does listen to those groups.
CCP does NOT listen to high sec groups.

So, there is only two options for high sec players: You can shut up and accept whatever scraps are left when soundwave and mittens are done with high sec, or you can shut up and actually let your accounts lapse.

The 2nd option is the ONLY way you can show your displeasure.
If you have a cell phone or cable TV service that became unacceptable to you, you would go to customer service and scream. That is the equivalent to these forums. If the company providing that service did not listen, or openly mocked you, you would discontinue that service as quickly as possible. (always a treat with multi-year contracts).

So all the people fighting the good fight on the forums have to make a decision.
Do you recognize that CCP is not changing the direction the game is going, and decide even with the annihilation of high sec, the game gives you good value for your money, and you will continue to subscribe.

Or do you decide that , no, the game no longer gives me enjoyment for my money, and I don't want to play the game that the null sec zealots are creating, and cease to subscribe.

My personal decision was that I am lapsing all but one account. After a brutal day in real world, even with all the attacks on high sec, the game has not quite reached the "more pain that pleasure" point , but I certainly have had the amount of joy I get from the game reduced to a level that running multiple accounts has no point. Maybe after soundwave nerfs L4 missions that will be the breaking point for me. I don't know yet.

I know people are un-subbing. I have seen it in my own in-game corp. But it takes time for the 6 month and 12 month subs to run out and the impact felt. Maybe when that impact is felt, CCP will recognize this was the wrong path.

But until then, give up posting on the forums. The only thing CCP cares about is your monthly sub.

The only long term goal CCP has seems to be to never actually decide on a long term goal. They just make :stuff: up as they go along, hence the stupid decisions the past couple of years.

CCP stance on the core of EVE has not changed for the 9 years it has been running.

blah blah blah you don't like it don't play eve. We (most of eve) like games where we can basically do things how we want without too much worry actions and consiquences (bring on the spelling police) it all pans out in the end some people have fun some don't i don't care about most of what you said i got bored when you got to the OLD "waaah ccp only love goons ccp give goons everything" yea they don't belive it or not have cool stuff in place to make sure they don't and if you lot of little girls don't stop bitching ccp might think more of eve think the way you do than really does and they'll break the game to make their 4 people pretending to be 400000 people happy stop it you're bad stop playing eve go play hello kittie and ccp fix bloody eve so i can play why can't you just patch once a damn week atleast then you can only break it 52 times a year instead of 365 times a year

goons would start shooting rifters on their main with neutral alts constantly

never underestimate the ability of goons to find the loophole and drive a dumptruck through it

Funny that, this was the impression I got from reading up about the game and learning what it was about before I decided to get my first account. It's almost as if some people haven't even bothered to check out the premise of the game before they join. Then they come to the forum and climb on their moral high horse claiming that CCP ignores them when they cry about the game working as intended.

I'd be interested to know what they thought this game was when they upgraded from trial.

I think that was made clear in his post, and why. People have 6 and 12 month subscriptions.They may play little, or not at all in that time period, engaging in little more than " Skill que online." They certainly have the right to post their displeasure in that period.

What is the problem, does that bother you? Do you think the rest of us care whether you are bothered or not, you, vermin disciple of amoral toady sycophant bootlicking suckups that get their marching orders from the Mittani??
Noone cares if you are happy.Noone cares that you think he shouldn't be posting.

Most people care about most other people, except goons.They want to make everyones' day miserable. The funny part is, the rest of us, who normally care about normal people, could care less if goons are unhappy, miserable, unemployed, your car breaks down and gets stuck in the rain, of if you or someone you do care about should contract a long and protracted illness involving suffering and death.

So please, don't make posts about the impropriety of certain people posting, and whether or not they have the right to do so, because really, the rest of us don't give a crap what you or any other goon thinks.

hahaha

look how mad you are about spaceships

Im not mad
I don't live in high sec , I dont mine, I PvP. That doesn't mean I can't tell when someone else is a jackass.
Personally I feel sorry for guys like you and him, whose only joy in life is to attempt to mess up someone elses' enjoyment. You thought you saw someone upset in forums and you just had to post. I'm sure your mother is so proud, and I'm also sure you are exactly the type of man your father hoped you'd grow up to be. We are all so, so proud of you. Keep up the good work.
You are a valued employee.
