I have a big beef with this. They said that we have a limited amount of time and money and that this is like a hobby to us?
Let me decide how much money I want to spend on the game in my own way. Continue to make the game something I want to play, and I will continue to pay for alts.
I'm certain that the alts I run makes them more isk than the MT they are trying to stuff into the game via their "ambulation" scam. However, right now people are unsubscribing alts, which is losing you a heck of a lot more money than whatever you gained from the people that bought the MT stuff.
We love your game, we have alts. That is how you make extra money. Give us more to DO, not more to BUY.

Originally by: Timaios This is my "I'm quitting" -message.
I'm sorry, but you seem to be very out of touch with what your playerbase wants. Especially those of us who have been here since 2004/2005 and have many accounts.
What drew me to EVE was the player-created interaction and tales. I watched videos of pirates ganking haulers in lowsec in 2004 and felt that this was a great game. A place where a ruthless attitude and smarts would win the day. I loved the spaceships, I was afraid of losing, loved winning, worked with others in some things that actually unified some players to work across corps and alliances to do stuff.
Those were player-created events, they made me emotionally attached to your game. Not the avatars, not the clothes, not the custom paintjobs for AUR, but the human interaction. That means spaceships, smooth UI to operate those spaceships and balanced environment where multitude of strategies can flourish. And you're not capitalizing on the human interaction part, which more or less means to me that you don't understand your game. In short, you aren't catering to my needs as a customer, which just means I no longer want your services.
Previously, I always felt that in EVE, if an another pilot had something, I could make him lose it - if I only was smart and ruthless enough. I could steal it, shoot him, deceive him, whatever - but with these new clothes and vanity items, the same thing no longer holds. They just hang around in your station or are indestructible when worn, and the player can still interact (in the future) with others - and I can't take his stuff from him. Previosly the only way to be safe was not to undock (i.e. play). But you are changing that, and I don't really want to have any part in the future of EVE where the ruthless basis of EVE is diluted.
Sorry.
I also second this. I love PvP. Simply love it. It is the motivation for me to play MMORPGS.
I got disgusted with Ultima when they started changing pvp to let you keep stuff, and eventually quit when they expanded insurance to cover every item you can own.
SWG eventually ruined their game by making everything free and easy.
Now you guys are giving people fancy items that are unassailable by the enemy player. Ridiculous, and unacceptable.
If I cannot blow it up, I don't want it in the game, and it has no purpose here.
