It has been made so clear that CCP has an antagonistic relationship with the rest of us.

Look I get that you are a business, and that you have to pay staff and run your business..... still, there must be a better way to extract and "take our money".

Eve is so lacking in content that people actually followed you into nullsec! Says something at least to me about the game. People are bored and they will follow you into the void just to have a little fun. Nullsec is bored, highsec is bored. Why not serve them up on a platter to one another and see what happens? Yeah good call, rob Peter to pay Paul.

Still if you need to extract money from the player base, why not take a look at how some other people are doing it. Star Citizen just passed the 27 million mark. Maybe you can learn something from them and not troll the very people who pay to play a 10 year old game.

Clock is ticking and legacy software has a tendency to collect dust.

Every day in every way I improve my skills and get better.

Oh come one, now you're not even trying to hide the fact this is a SC thread...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Why dont you make some content yourself? Isn´t that how its supposed to be in a sandbox? Or is trolling the forums content for you? In that case, good work man!

This thread really deserves a "can I have your stuff".

If that's what you think of Eve, then best to just leave.

Star Citizen has provided zero actual game to their users at this point. You can look at spaceships in a base, as far as I can tell.

So, should we just all sit in base staring at ships and get rid of the space part of EVE? Is that what you are actually suggesting here/

Wake me up when Star Citizen produces something other than cinematic trailers and blog posts about their latest crowd-funding milestone.

Where some see antagonistic, others see the freedom to create emergent game play.

Guess which one is the more successful player?

I´ve got enough content in my little niche in EVE for the next months. I dont expect you to make content for me but for yourself. If you´re successful you will pay yourself with "fun". You know, that crazy stuff that makes us do things in our free time.

I'm an adorable newbie!

I don't want your stuff though. If I don't earn things myself they become worthless, and then the game becomes worthless to me.

You've capitalized "us" in title (result: country).
