Edited by: Whitehound on 25/06/2011 12:27:22 You, M14D, are the one who is dumb. Your subject line is nothing more than an insult of calling the EVE community dumb.
A shark is a hunter and does not crawl on the floor of the ocean like a crab. Both need food, but both have very distinctive ways of getting to it.
CCP is a game maker and as such is, or should, be thinking on making games. The moment they stop thinking about making games they become something else.
Make a good game and people will come to you. You do not have to beg them to buy it, but your game will sell itself and because it is good. Once you have to switch to other means of making money have you lost the plot and are going downhill.
Increasing the hardware requirements so you can sell vanity items in a virtual environment means that you have lost the plot. CCP is helping ATI and Nvidia to increase their profits with Incarna, but the wallets of the players are not infinitely deep and not all will have the money to pay CCP as well. If then we get vanity items and micro transactions then it is GAME OVER. --

Originally by: Ammzi I don't know about you M14D, but I am more ****ed at the "don't listen to the player base, but listen to their actions"
Do not be. Do the same. Stop listening to them and start looking at what they do.
I will keep playing EVE for a while, but if I keep losing more friends and to crap like vanity items and micro transactions then I will find me another game.
Just the thought of playing with people, who buy clothing or monocles in EVE for billions of ISKs is weird. I will not be playing with such people for long. I will find me a group of players again with whom I can roll, stand together and have some real fun. --

Originally by: M14D Again, you seem to be bent on sticking to your conclusion that CCP is inevitably and stubbornly entering into MT-overload.
I am not more bent than CCP. I do what they do. I stopped listening and look at their actions.
Quote: To recap: ALL THEY'VE DONE IS MODIFY AN EXISTING MONETARY TRANSACTION.
If I rip your heart out I will have modified your body, too. Your explanation of a "modification" is fail.
PLEX was introduced so that some players could buy ISKs for real money. It kept the problem with the goldsellers under control. In return did this introduce a "play for free"-model. It was considered a fair deal. That is what PLEX was to us.
Now we get increased hardware requirements for shiny clothing and silly monocles and a second currency. And for what? For what?????
Who wants vanity items? Who wants to see players buying vanity items? Tell me, who wants all this crap?
Do you want it? If so then you have nothing to post about and can buy moncoles and watch players buying it.
I however do not want players to buy vanity items or have them buy ISKs with real money. I merely tolerate it as the lesser evil. --
