From what i read, CCP lost nearly 15-20% of their subs with Incarnage? So, yes, people will leave this game if you nerf hi sec or anything else that they dislike enough to stop playing.

LOL
What was nerfed in Incarna?

this

Not nerfing but relase pants and monocle, meny people are fanatics of EvE, in general people dislike big changes.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

I will subscribe if high-sec is nerfed hard in the rear.

CCP has no sense of humour.

How does it make you feel spending som much time on an activity you value at less than $15/month. Cheap?

makes me feel like i'm getting great value for other people's money.

Aha, But if it is of such great value to you why would you unsub if you ran out of ISK?


because i'm poor :(

I see. I am sorry about that. Not needing to grind ISK just to pay for subs is a luxury but if you somehow would manage to bring in an extra $15 each month you could enjoy it too. It will enable you to put more focus on activities that burn ISK instead - you know the fun stuff. Anyhow, I hope you will recover from your poverty and will prosper in life.

I will not go to nullsec if nullsec outposts become destructible.
I will not go to nullsec until the entry barrier for newer corps/alliances is lowered.

Unsubbing? Dunno about that.

I will unsub if people are mean to me. Because, I dunno, CCP needs to nerf mean people!

Well they better not be doing x or any other drugs, cause drugs cause bad expansions, and yes people will unsubscribe over bad expansions.

I'm curious. Why is it the worst argument ever? Explain.

Oh wait, you've had 2 pages of forum posts and replies to try to explain yourself, and failed so far. Meanwhile, examples that counter your words (and prove that the argument is valid) have been brought forward.

People have unsubscribed in the past, they are unsubscribing because of Retribution and there WILL be people unsubscribing whenever something changes in EvE that doesn't suit them.

Show me an MMO where this ISN'T the case.

Because for the vast majority of times it's used, it's wrong.
That's why.

Incarna proved that if you say something enough times, you'll eventually be right.

EVE IS DYING!

MASS UNSUBS IMMINENT!

CCP WILL FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY!

I will unsubcribe is you don't unsubscribe, but if you do not, I will also unsubcribe, just because.

lol

While "people will unsubscribe if you do X" (X being any thing the speaker personally cares about and thus believes EVERYONE cares about it the same way) is very annoying, it's not the most annoying thing sputtered by the high sec crowd.

To me, THE most annoying thing they do is morph EVERY opinon into "you just don't like my playstyle", with "Null/low sec is always camped so OBVIOUSLY null/low sec players don't want me to go there" coming in a close second. I could litterly write a small book filled with dumb stuff high sec solo casuals say.

It worked for Incarna right ?
Therefore now we can hold CCP hostage for anything we want.

There is just a we bit of sarcasm with the above lines.
But this thread sounds a lot like the why can't we all get along threads.

Did you read the forums for the 3 weeks following Incarna?

You post a new thread and it has 30 responses and is on page 5 of General within 5 minutes. 100+ Page Threadtitans jammed between lowly 10-20 page Threadnaughts. You post a 2 sentence response to the last post and it is 2-4 pages ahead.

All the Inventory, Heavy Missile and Drone complaints we've seen so far don't add up to one thread started with the word NeX or Station Hanger at the height of the Firestorm. Yes there are things CCP can do to lose a large but not Incarna sized pop like removing Lvl 4's from High Sec but people who think that X group won't take a slight hit to the chin, well it isn't even close to comparable. It was 40 different things that brought about Incarna and it was boiling since before Tyrannis.

EVE is more stable then people think and most people won't unsub at the drop of a sledgehammer let alone a hat. It takes months of continual dissatisfaction and a massive storm before anything comparable to Incarna happens at you can bet CCP has a better response team to head that sort of crisis off at the pass. You will see the clouds miles away.

I don't know, I think the Mittani fanfest incident came pretty close to the Incarna shitstorm.
