Stop giving us gifts. Either that, or only give us avatar items from now on.
I am willing to submit 20 designs per year... that's 10 individual avatar items for both the anniversary and Christmas... 5 items for each gender. I will work for no compensation. I do not want to be a CCP employee, at this time. I am offering a service, free of charge, so that the forums stop sounding like a daycare that just got told they're getting a carrot sticks instead of cookies for snack time.

I'm not even playing. This is stupid, and I want to help you fix it. I say again: I do not want money... I just want to improve my second-favorite world (IRL being my favorite, though not by much).

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Just “fix” them the same way you do any other unruly pet when it gets to the same age…

I liked the avatar gifts. Better than the random modules. Oh, and the leopard. The leopard is sexy. Do that again.

... or you could just give us proper gifts for the 365 days of content we provide the company to brag about.

There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency.

You mean like their expansions and patches and continued dedication to improving the game?
The only thing your subscription obligates them to provide is an account on their server with which to play the game. There's no contractual requirement for them to do any development or iteration at all.

There's no contractual obligation for me to be grateful for crappy gifts, go figure.

If you don't want those "crappy gifts" please contract them to me. I'll take them off your hands free of charge Big smile

Excluding the accounts from the gifting process overall would be a good solution. They stop getting "crappy" gifts and we stop hearing their whining.

If CCP didn't provide expansions they would lose subs.

If the players did not provide content they would not gain as many subs.

So yeah, pretty sure CCP needs to keep us happy. Just keeping servers open doesn't warrant a subscription charge as many games do that for free.

That goes without saying, but it isn't really contrary to my point either.

Because those games either provide revenue from microtransactions, or have operating costs so low that they're supplemented by other games.

Running Tranquility probably incurs considerable expense. The electric bill alone must be pretty hefty, not to mention the cost of replacing failed components, wages for technicians, property taxes, etc.

Unless you are using a colloquialism to make a point, starting a written sentence with 'So yeah' pretty much negates any likelihood that what follows is in any way worth reading.

Dock them a remap, or 5mil SP.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Unsuccessful should be my co-organizer on this one. We think alike.

Not called "butthurt" when it's a legitimate complaint. Stop defending the trophy kids. Over-sympathizing with them and making myriad excuses for all their stupid behavior is how they even got this way to begin with.
