Congratulations


In response to CCP Hilmarrrgghs Blog and Zulus Outlining of future developments I should like to be the first to thank profusely those who have fought for the game we all love (well quite like anyway) EvE online. Selflessly volunteering all their time and effort, blood sweat and tears in an attempt to stand up for the player base.



I speak of those selfless individuals in the CSM who have single handley altered the path of EvE and perhaps, dare I say, MMO development as a whole for ever.


I jest of course. The actions of the collaborator council over the past three months have been nothing short of revolting. Chest beating and snooty NDA wink wink comments that achieved nothing more then dragging this whole escapade out for a longer time then necessary. Prompt resignation by the council on mass after the internal newsletters were leaked ( by some brave individual at CCP ) would have saved three months of face palm. Instead, they retained a nice line on their resumes and a jolly old knees up at the cost of their e-integrity. Even now in these very forums , they smugly pat each other on the back and disgustingly claim credit for the sacrifice of others. But enough of them.


The Real Heroes Of EvE


The real hero's of EvE are those amongst us who after exhausting years of of our lives attempting to participate in the dog and pony show that is ccps consultation process, called the bluff of the the megalomaniac mentality and promptly quit. Pow. Me and my 38.6 alt accounts gone to the wind.

NOOOOOOO! they cried, smashing the glass frontage of the cabinet that holds their plastic megathron model (made from the finest cobalt blue plastic retailing for around 199.99 dollars in the eve store) The line must be drawn HERE! This far and no further.

And now a glimmer of hope arrives that their sacrifice was not wasted. All those agonizing hours being forced to play Crimecraft Bleedout were not in vain. Our cause may have succeeded,


This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end.. but it may perhaps be the end of the beginning


So a wise man once said. Now is NOT the time to rest on our laurels.. Re-subbing now will only reinforce the idea that our righteous indignation can be bought off by the same currency which demanded we quit in the first place. Words. From the heart, we are told they were. From the wallet I suspect. But time will tell.

Another equally wise man once said we must see what they do and not what they say.

Quit on, you crazy diamonds, Quit on!

How about a new line for you. " I have four hours free gametime to go get a PLEX with which I am currently attempting to source a fair priced Plex"

So I have only 3 hours 50 to humble such posters as yourself.

A few people are mad that the 'evil' 'RMTing' arrogant and 'game-breaking' CSM actually was able to sit down with CCP and help them re-prioritize their strategy and game design? They are mad that they were able to get a few long-neglected issues onto a short list for patching?

Or are a few people just mad because they've been decrying these people for the last few months only to have them turn around and actually pour far more constructive energy into the game than their blithering mouths ever did?

I hear posting in a CSM alt thread is cruise control for cool. Cool

Seriously, though, you should be thanking all the players who unsubbed and spoke out in defiance of CCP's former direction (Jita protests, forum rage, etc.). Mittani and gang are in it for the free trips to Iceland.

So you either aren't quitting or you lied to CCP to get free game time. Either way you're dishonest which invalidates your long winded pubbie post of tears.

I have 4 hours to find a plex and I am currently searching for a plex I can afford so no dishonesty im afraid. You will of course admit my post is ergo Valid.

3 hours 30 mins to humiliate yourself more.

Also what a pubby?

Double post.

I will, however take this opportunity to bemoan the removal of coloured text from these new forums which was a great aid in drawing the child like attention of the general eve player to the salient points of my intellectual (i went to catering college ya know) posts.

and bandwagon jumping

and ppl that straight lie about how much influence they have in this game...

"Some say that he is actually dead, but the Grim Reaper is too afraid to tell him." "Some say he is the 3rd member of Daft Punk and he did the vocals of "Technologic" song. All we know is,he's called EVE Stig"!

Im certain the account cancellations spoke much louder than the CSMs.

My first impression was that those of us unsubscribing had a pretty loud voice - hasn't changed either.

CSM and Mattani ...they seem to mean well but i'm trying to remember when CCP listened to the players so I can compare CSM6's efforts.

Doing the math i believe the unsubs had a larger influence but CSM6 was the voice of those no longer here.

Lets keep holding our breath on Hilmar's blog..it will take proof now , not just words but if the changes happen this ugly period in Eve's history can be put behind us.
