So, CCP has,

"unreasonable to talk to". how would they know? they haven't even tried. i think the most constructive post in the thread from ccp was guard saying he was going to have pizza.

if the matter is closed surely a post explaining their position isn't too much to ask for?

**** it, i don't know why i'm still wasting my time, it's clear ccp don't give a **** so why should i?


I think it's more a case of the vocal minority are RIGHT.

So their choices are:
Hang their friends (who made them a lot of money) out to dry.
or
Admit they drove a coach and horses through their own stated rules.

Apparently they have neither the courage, nor the integrity to make the choice.

So they are hoping we will let it slide... ^^

It'll go away with my account subscription.

It really was the tipping point, for me.

Stating a particular ingame player entity were 100% trustworthy and officially endorsed by CCP
Giving that ingame player entity special items in order to use for their ingame events/business
Giving that ingame player entities owners/"employees" direct personal gifts worth tens of billions each
Allowing that ingame player entity to break the EULA/TOS
Allowing that ingame player entity to have direct control over who can access new content (rather than everyone in EVE having a shot at the new rare shinies, only those who payed somer, and who somer did not ban for nebulous reasons were allowed)
Not consulting the CSM on any of the above before doing it
Refusing to address any of these issues and hoping they can just wait silently

it's simply appalling

So, I just used my reverse imbursed PLEX to check on my favourite game I'm not subscribed to, checking if the new expansion added something for my play style and I find that it no longer matters really.

The quality of the game no longer means anything when CCP disqualifies itself as a company worth supporting with money. And with their treatment of the matter laid out in this thread, they went a long way towards disqualifying themselves. Sure with the expansion coming out and everybody busy with eating pizza, one can't expect a prompt and thorough answer, though I do wonder what those $2.5 million the PR budged was bumped up with are actually used for.

Thinking about that made me a bit angry, considering you could hire a good 100 level designers for $2.5 mil, who could each do one level per week, amounting to 4800 new levels for missions, anomalies and locations. Instead we get a %2.5 mil pizza.

So with that I doubt I'd go for another PLEX even if I'd find something to do in my solo player non-combatant industrialist niche.

Someone on twitter pointed out the similarity with 1984...

"All players are equal - but some are more equal than others."

They are right - and "Big Brother" is certainly watching because unfavourable posts are being locked like lightening.

OMG, this must be a $1,000 designer pizza, created by a celebrity chef. It's so yummy and delicious that it's taking forever to finnish it. Oops

Or any answer at all, for that matter.

That had better be the best pizza in the history of Italian cuisine!

I started this a while back. At this point, I don't know that a survey would do any good; I was more interested in at least provoking some sort of response, or at least an acknowledgement that we are still waiting to hear from them.

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

we didn't get a reply when it was a sticky.

there's literally 0 chance of a reply now it's not a sticky and being brushed under the carpet like nothing happened.

CCP trying to sweep it under the rug is an admission that the "vocal minority" is actually a subset of the majority. For them to make official announcements, do polls, etc., would be to shine a much brighter light on the issue than we can by posting on the forum.

The most useful slaves are those that believe themselves to be free

I find it more teling that they don't even come up with a half hearted apology, like "Sorry we missed that light black area monetization scheme when we audited Somer. Fixed that now, put regulations in and won't let it happen again." would go at least some way to mend the damaged relation of trust. But nothing at all? Maybe there is some dissent on the matter internally that we can't ever hear about.
