To say I was disappointed with this blog would be an understatement.
You've wasted an opportunity to allay the fears of your subscribers and regain their trust. I hope you get a second chance....

Lot's of words no content in there. All you said we don't care about.
We care about the game and MT, which weren't addressed at all. There is only one post you can make. NO MT in EvE Everything else will NOT do.
2 accounts running but not planning to resub untill this **** is resolved.

I've played other mmo's in the past that have have vanity items and ive never bought a thing, and it never affected the game because of that decision, ive played EVE since beta pretty much and this is the first thing CCP have ever done that has ever made me question playing, if CCP turn around and say "vanity items only will be sold" thats not a big issue, anything more and forget it.
You talk about making more money by selling items that can give an ingame advantage over a person who cant afford those items is ridiculous.
Make more money? do this and you will lose a huge amount of the player base.

You know what this reminds me of? Mubarak's speeches on Egyptian state TV where he completely missed the point and was behind the curve of the events taking place in the streets outside.

I'm sorry CCP, you've lost what little respect i had left for you. All i heard while reading that blog was "Don't whine at us, we're not in the wrong: shut up and give us money for pointless items that are extortionately priced and completely break the immersion of the setting we have built up over half a decade!"
RMT is bad, yes we know that. PLEX was a way to try and combat that, but adding in Aurum and micro-transactions doesn't work if you still have a subscription and at launch you have barely a handful of purchase micro-transaction items at prices that beggar belief. Oh and don't get me started on the Quafe shirts that us Fan Fest goers got - they are low-quality and the fact they are only usable in the character editor if you have them in your hangar at that station is... stupid at best.
Come on, either admit you want a crap-tonne of money from us and don't care about your rich and immersive game any more, or back-pedal and withdraw this rubbish you call an expansion. Give us a serious dev blog or don't bother. You got backed into a corner and know your laundry has been aired in public and it is dirrrrteeee!

...that is the single worst devblog and/or apology I have ever read. You managed to pack in an impressive amount of arrogance and ignorance into a neat little package.
I'd been fairly neutral on this debate so far. Wasn't thrilled about Incarna but was looking forward to the winter expansion and didn't mind $70 monocles. But after reading that my opinion of your management team has really tanked. Please spend some more time reading the forum feedback and come back with a better response. It would be sad to see Eve sunk after all this history it has built up.

As someone who has been accused of being a CCP alt several times so far for supporting CCP... I'm disappointed.
The expectation that $50 for a monocle is okay, is bad. A price reduction would in fact benefit them by increasing sales to an item that doesn't cost them anything to "manufacture".
And for the love of all that is good... higher price points?

Dear CCP,
this is an open letter.
I as customer do feel misunderstood and not treated like a a loved paying subscriber to your service. I asked for a feedback on some issues which i feel are quite disturbing.
I care for this game, really. This _was_ the only option i had in the spaceship nichee of the mmo world. I love this idea but i feel as if only my cash matters and spaceships are getting less and less important.
I do not want walking or avatars. there are so many games featuring avatars and wgo shooting.
Why do i feel completly ignored ? Why do i feel as if none of our concerns was actually read ? Why do i feel as if i do not matter.
I'm a sad one now. I wanted to see a pasionate dev talking to me.
All i see at ccp is no more passion it is just give me your Ç
that is not the eve i loved. it is going a way i can not follow.
from a sad player cya in another world.

we think itæs not cool how individuals that work here have been called out and dragged through the mud due to something they wrote in the internal company newsletter. Seriously, these people were doing their jobs and do not deserve the hate and ****storm being pointed at them.
really? i kinda think you earned it, reading that internal post kinda reminded me of the enron scandal. if you say something stupid on the internet expect it to bite you sooner or later, if you say something ina super secret corporate GREED thread you should expect it to drop a **** storm on your ass when it gets leaked end of story, you said things you didnt want ppl to see and some saw them and realized what a bunch of underhanded ****s you were for saying it and decided that we the player base (you know the people who pay your salary?) deserved to know that guy i wont **** talk, i hope the rest of you die in a fire.
on a public interest note to the players out there join the ingame channel MASS-PROTEST and kick CCP in the **** with the rest of us jita is almost usable again amarr... well not so much
[21:20:03] xxxxxxx xxxxxxx > get more to amarr friends alts, mother fathers.. that weird kid next store.. bring rage..
^^ x's are incase some dev decides to perma ban some more people for expressing their displeasure at his corporations greed and ineptitude

CCP is failing hard at Damage Control, maybe you guys need a officer DCU.
Is CCP going to sell in-game items that will be used in combat, if the answer is yes then please let me know as my subs are coming up for renewal.

Edited by: RC Denton on 24/06/2011 21:56:14 Edited by: RC Denton on 24/06/2011 21:52:17 Epic failure of a response. Pan had three issues that really had very little to do with the rage. You only sort of address two of them.
- Epic failure sir in addressing whether or not the NEX store will be used to sell game impacting items. Instead you write up a straw man argument and knock it down. And explaining it away with "well it's just clothes" shows (I assume willful since there's 170+ pages of discussion on the real reaons) a complete failure to understand what the problem as perceived by your customer base is and sidesteps the entire main issue
- The tone of this blog, like many of zulu's previous attempts to communicate with the community, shows a certain amount of contempt for the customer base. "It's just clothes" is so disengenous as to almost be a middle finger to folks that have been very articulate about what the problems actually are from the customer perspective
- Words have meaning. It matters not where they were said. Context is important. What you seem to misunderstand (again on purpose it looks like) is that the majority of the rage is centered around two things A) The fact that the words that were written fairly drips with contempt for your customers and B) The deal breaking changes that you guys seem to want to bring to the game come hell or highwater. Simply dismissing that as "You're overreacting, it's just an internal communication where actors are playing their parts" falls very flat.
- Trying to justify the absurdly high prices for vanity items is insulting both your intelligence and ours. I could be wrong, but I'd bet big that in a few months data will show that these items brought in very little revenue for the company . The market will be the final say in that though
- Failure to address performance issues and the fact that the CQ is forced
- Patting yourself on the back for a "successful" release when you've got multiple rage based threadnaughts about the "features" in that release. Successful from who's perspective? If this is success I'd hate to see failure.

Smooth? Successful? Gorgeous?
I pity you.
Originally by: CCP Zulu The opinions and views expressed in Fearless are just that; opinions and views. They are not CCP policy nor are they a reliable source of CCP views as a company.
[..]
We will gradually introduce items at other price points, definitely lower and probably higher than whatæs in the store today.
So those views weren't CCP policy, yet you're telling us you're going to introduce items that are priced even higher?
I pity you.
Originally by: CCP Zulu I hope Iæve addressed your concerns and cleared up a lot of the issues youære having.
So the paying customer is the one having issues?
I pity you.

This was probably the most pointless CCP response yet including some rather ill places sarcastic one-liners.
This doesn't answer anything at all.
What are your intentions with MT in EVE? How far will you go? I hate that it exists at all but since at this time there are no serious competitors to EVE I can live with vanity items. If you ever where to introduce a game play affecting item in the NeX store I would however leave instantly. It would be good to know if you intend that now already so I can just go out and shoot away my ISK right now instead.
How overextended is CCP Games with WoD and Dust? It seemed you have reached way to far and now you have to trash EVE to make your liquidity...
Maybe that economist you have employed can tell you this too. There is a finite limit to how much profit you can divert from a product.
You see the more money you take in profit or re-invest in other products the easier it gets for someone else to make a better version of that product. Since they don't actually have to be more innovative then you to be better, all they need to do is not divert there earnings to other projects but re-invest a few percent more in the project and they will have a better product then you.
That EVE doesn't have direct competition now does not mean it will always be like that. Also if you expand MT you yourself have changed to put it in direct competition with MMOs that have alot more resources then EVE, you do not want to compete with those.
If there actually is a problem with the base line of the EVE product let us know and raise subscription cost, but if you just overinvested our money into other projects that whent over budget then **** you!
Stay in the ALL-INCLUSIVE subscription sandbox category for the future of EVE.

"This week has seen quite a controversy unfold. In almost the same instant as we deployed Incarna - which by the way is one of our more smooth and successful expansions, not to mention absolutely gorgeous - an internal newsletter with rather controversial topics addressed leaked out. To further compound the confusion there was a clear and rather large gap in virtual goods pricing expectation and reality with a large segment of the community. Iæm going to address both these issues right here."
- CCP Zulu
Aren't you missing something? Like THE OVERWHELMING DESIRE FOR US PLAYERS TO HAVE THE OLD HANGER VIEW BACK AND HAVE THE CQ AS A "DISEMBARK" BUTTON! Seriously, did you guys even read ANY threads?
Now, regarding the internal document:
"The opinions and views expressed in Fearless are just that; opinions and views. They are not CCP policy nor are they a reliable source of CCP views as a company. The employees who submitted articles to that newsletter did exactly what they were asked to do, write about theories and opinions from an exaggerated stand."
What the hell does this even mean? Did you not see the millionth post asking for confirmation that WE DO NOT WANT REAL MONEY TRANSFER FOR IN-GAME PROGRESSION/ADVANTAGE!? How the HELL is that not answered?
As far as I'm concerned you totally BLEW over the TWO MAIN issues we wanted to have dealt with.
1) An answer to "Are you EVER going to use aurum for an in game advantage/progression" (via internal document)?
2) We want our OLD hanger view back!
After reading the response, I'm extremely upset. No one even cared that much about the damn monocle prices! Did you read the posts? We were mocking the idea of EVEN buying it in the FIRST place!
This is fail. 3 accounts still unsubbed. Sadface.

But conversely, it's totally ok for them to come back at us with nastiness. So, don't be mean to CCP! Only they can be mean!
Did someone actually ok this crap? You all are insane CCP.

okay, let me take a crack at it
Zulu: Your blog, while appreciated, was kinda murky in some of the topics addressed, like what is currently planned as Aurum items and not.
Fallout: I appreciate your patience with the EVE community and not killing anyone in game or at CCP headquarters :)
To CCP in general: I believe that the prices are, while representitive of RL items, the inherent problem is that these are NOT RL items, so alot of people feel that these are a bit overpriced. And has been stated earlier, as long as these are restricted to vanity items, (Ishukone skinned Scorpion, clothing, etc.) then that is fine, but if you intend to sell inherently stronger ships, (capitals, Super Caps, T2 ships, faction ships) for Aurum, then that is bad for the games economy I believe. Also, regarding Aurum for Faction standings, While good for the wallet, again addresses the balancing issue, if everyone can access lvl 4 missions off the bat, then what good are lvl 1-3 agents? You have to do this carefully, while remaining balance, and the current in game economy, I know that you know this, but sometimes, you need us to tell you.
Again, I think you need to address what is currently on the table regarding Aurum items, the balancing issues and in game economy, And what your plans for DUST are for regarding such.
