Hi marketing peeps and CCP Seagull.

While you are doing a lot to make this game more attractive to new players/customers -

Why do you think your current customers are leaving ?* Ugh





*this is what I boiled it down to, after hours of reading up on recent and potential changes to Eve online and weeks of team-speak convos filled with sorrow, complaints and the honest fear of a beloved toy being no longer available soon.

Older customers are rage quiting because their 'win at everything now' button is slowly but surely being removed. But they'll be back within the year. I guarantee.

Remove Concord protection for NPC corps members over 30 days old.
Cannot create, or join a new Corp for 1 week after dropping a player controlled corp.
Mining boats have either tank or yield. Ore hold set 12k m3 across the board.

Looking at their track record, I kinda don't want them to overhaul mining anymore....

CCP - Building ant hills and magnifying glasses for fat kids

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Oh, boy! Another well-considered, meticulously researched (yeah, right) EVE IS DYING THREAD.

IB4 digital alteration.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

Stand down CCP, I've got this one.

Te answer is "ALIENS, clearly ALIENS."

Next question.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

to answer seriously though buddy

it has a long history of people frustrated by the current change that has occurred and leaving due to it however...

they will be back as many have invested years into this game and they have a stronger then average connection to the game

CCp has them by their clones...um ect ect

let´s look at the life-blood of this game:
players on tranquility

within a 5 year period, eve had an average of 50.000
the previous year saw an average of 39.000 (factored into the 50k 5y avg, this is a drop of more than 25% )
the past quarter 30.000 (another 25% loss)
and february ´15 was at 25.000 players online per day (44.000k in 2014, adjusted about 40% loss)

(source Eve-offline.net)

This is looking like more than Ebb and Flow - even with seasonal effects billed in.

I must have missed the 50k average years. Please cite your source.

The Rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counter productive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

Rumor threads and posts which are based off no actual solid information and are designed to either troll or annoy other users will be locked and removed. These kinds of threads and posts are detrimental to the well being and spirit of the EVE Online Community, and can create undue panic among forum users, as well as adding to the workload of our moderators.
