In playing your part as human merchandise under CCP's carefully planned out RL profit-making scheme, ie:

-PLEX.
-Bots.
-Limitless alt system.

Im curious, does CCP maintain a scpecific horde of players ingame farming Plex for them which they sell back to their playerbase?

Isn't this entire circle, at the same time detrimental to the game and its playerbase as ingame prices rise and 0.0 alt corps take over entire regions, blobing with 30+ capfleets and Titan bridges every single time...

Hmm?
Where is this all really going CCP?
To make as much pride in money before planet earth burns to a crisp from our mutual contempt, greed and stupidity?

So, let us make this thread the official congratulate CCP on their ruthless and cynical attitudes to life, like the good ponzies they are.

I pay $15 a month for a Space Ship Video Game.

I did not know I was getting a web of paranoia and conspiracies with it.

Such a great value.

Of course.

I don't feel the need to have 10+ accounts to be good, Alara is fine. I am good just shooting folks with my space guns without a ton of duel boxes to make me "good" at the game.

I don't have to farm up Plex, I decide when I play and when I don't.

If $15 is to much for you is kinda sad.

Yes they have the awesome power to make me stop paying and go play another game at anytime.

Multiply that ammount by active subscribers per year.
Add it to legal realmoney Plex buyers per year.
Add it to unofficial realmoney Plex buyers per year.

Compare total ammount with CCP's annual expenses.

Just enough to keep Eve running whilst ingame prices rising?

Or just enough for obscene company profits.

You see and decide. Keep coming back and Good luck.

You think this is a bad thing.

I play because I enjoy EVE. Do you not enjoy EVE?

If they want to profit off this game that is fine with me.

As long as they continue their new trend to fix broken mechanics which they are doin, I am perfectly happy to enjoy EVE.

If they fail to do so I will quit.

If you see deeper meaning in this then feel free to leave as I did after Incarna.

Their profits were so obscene they recently had to fire 20% of their staff to stay in business. Or is that also a part of your conspiracy theory?

Dude, step away from the bong, or start passing it around.

I do enjoy Eve, and CCP knows it above all.
They made it so it would be an enjoyable, complex and longlasting experience, whilst in the meantime, they use you and treat you like oil merchandise to fund private gains, which you end up paying for with your time and money. You think they gave a **** about you from the begining? Hell no, this is capital and for as long as you play their game, you willingly subject yourself to a tyranny which you weren't fully aware of originally.

Of course they do I am giving them money.

Money yes, my time is of course my own. I use it to enjoy EVE.

Of course not they are a business. Do you demand a hug from every store clerk? If the product does not meet the quality of fun I demand they find out how little a **** I give about them. They are just entertainment.

Their is no problem here. Make the game fun and I will pay them. Don't do that and I won't. Not going to expect them to play happy grab ass with me while they do it.

A natural thing to happen when you grow and invest too large in effect...on expensive things the majority of your playerbase doesn't give a **** about also...

It is the fact that not only does the clerk take the money from you, he uses the fact that many like you use his service to bring even more money in implicitly whilst condemning it publically at the same time.

In strict legal terms it's called:

MONEY LAUNDERING.
