I thought it was a good question, and it was funny.

EA is a black eye on good games.

We're looking to see what Baaaaad crap comes down.

DLC... Will kill the game

Expansion purchases, can't work no way to segregate the population, which also kills the game.

Any odd idiotic move will wreck the economy.

Any "special list" or "Elitist Gold" equipment will just **** the populous off.

Special "buff potions" will **** and unbalance all pvp.

Skillpoint gaining potions/implants will wreck the market, character bazaar, and cause animosity to those who skill their chars vs those who now megabuffskill characters.


Yaay!!!!

Also, can we have refunds (in part or in full) on our subscriptions if this whole thing does indeed go south?

CCP learned with the Jita riots and Incarnagate. If they bring another useless change like that then they'll see a repeat of that.

I pay more for my Cynabals and Vindicators than you for well..whatever you are flying.

I pay a few bil every once in a while for my special buff potions called boosters. I have billions invested in implants just to unbalance your "pvp".

I bought 2 characters already to gain advantage and cause animosity to those who started this game earlier than me.

I dunno maybe...troll softer? Roll

Who says CCP has to let us do anything. It wouldn't take much to make Jita permasafe, unable to fire weapons for example.

I am truly afraid for this game.

Quaff Potion of Baseless Speculation.

Plug in "Total BS" implant.

Inject "Making Stuff Up" and Add Level 1 to queue.

EA infiltrating CCP with an trustworthy alt that has a clean record
EA alt take the backseat for a couple years, to build trust and to whisper in Hilmars ears.
EA alt opens up the "backdoor" on a dark and stormy night, when Hilmar is drunk
EA Corp moves in and Hilmar wakes up, finding himself sleeping on the street.

There are few things as remarkable as blind unwavering hysteria.

It's like a living thing that need only feed on itself to be not only sustained, but to flourish.

EA is considered by a great many players to have made some colossal mistakes in the last few years. EA's "Play4free" franchises have not been considered successful by the gaming press. It is not unreasonable for Eve's playerbase to question Sean Decker's competence or "fit" with Eve since he lists the EA Play4free program among his accomplishments.

I'd like to see a statement from Sean explaining why he thinks he will be an asset to CCP and what capabilities he believes he can bring to the table.

I'd also like to see a statement from Hilmar (or similar) answering those same two questions (above) and also how they reached the conclusion that Sean's history with EA wasn't a concern.

I fully recognize that CCP hf. is a privately held Icelandic corporation and is under no legal obligation to explain its hiring practices to me or any other player. But CCP has a history of speaking frankly to her players, and I'm hoping I'll get some responses.

I remember a presentation video that from an exec from BF:H that was the impetus for the incarna Aurum rollout. Is this the guy who made that presentation?

Anyone remember that video? Where the guy was talking about how the forums on BF erupted but the majority of the player base stuck around and paid to play. Which of course led to the famous Hilmar quote of: "watch what they do not what they say"

Hope that isn't him.
