Please, please do the right thing and not the wrong thing and by that I mean, sit by a river or walk up a mountain, be at peace with yourself and your thoughts and then ask the important questions and listen to the answers you get. There is still time.

This a small sign of contrition from Zulu but my alt sub remains cancelled till a solid, clear and resounding no to ALL game changing items EVER being put on the store.
I don't care if some idiot spends a billion isk on a virtual eye furniture. I DO care if some rich idiot spends a couple of hundred real world quid (which a sane person wouldn't do, they'll need it to buy a new graphic's card to replace the one that Incarna melted) getting a unique ship which is better than anything available in the game normally. It ruins the whole concept of the player driven sandbox.
I'll wait to see what the CSM meeting brings up. I hope we get the name of the idiot/idiots who thought of this idea. I bet it wasn't one of the dev's. It'll be a suit. And I've yet to meet a suit who I didn't trust.

Edited by: Sturmwolke on 26/06/2011 23:35:43 A bit better than the last inflammatory blog.
Whatever your reasons were to be irritated/miffed/angry about those leaks (I assume), reflect instead on the fundamental core reasons WHY it happened and the motivations that drove such acts. Look inwards instead of trying to lay blame. House CCP is in bedlam. You've overstretched yourselves and its effects isn't difficult to see - screw ups followed by screw ups ... some even predicted several months back.
Whether this latest blow up was intentional or unintentional, the EVE community does not have an inexhaustible goodwill nor patience. You're slowly eroding these precious commodities (which takes a lot of time to build). All these grief, monetary loss and muddied reputation to CCP could have been avoided had you pulled your heads from the clouds.
/me shakes his head in disgust and disbelief.

Calling in CSM to Iceland to talk to our "representatives"?
I rofled so hard.
Did you talk to CSM about nullsec nerf?
Did you talk to CSM about your glorious NeX plans?
What do you consider better feedback then +300 pages on forums?
We don¦t need "representatives" that you ignored on any major change in the past.
CSM will not get you back the trust because of constantly nerfing our gameplay.

Yes, there has been a fantastic relationship between CCP and the playerbase. It vanished when you started to listen to (probably) business analysts and marketing strategists. I know it will be a strain to develop WoD and Dust and continue to develope and suppurt EVE. But do understand that the base of this MMO EVE is NOT your usual 14 years old. You will NOT be able to remodel it to a market for the "quick satisfaction fraction" teens!

I think everyone should take a deep breath and accept the fact that Eve will sell more than just vanity items. Eve will align with the business model of DUST and WoD.
The CSM will come back with reassurances (backed with similar presentations like the Battlefield Heroes presentation that appears in this thread a few times) that despite what forum posters are saying the people truly want this. *Shrugs* Who knows? Maybe they're right.
If you can't see this happening, I think you are in denial. Look at the other MMOs on the market. The subscription model is inefficient for what CCP needs.

I like to add, that some of those tanks are s**t and the gold ammo burns your money faster. also you curse yourself if you used gold ammo and missed your target.
Some of them items aren't game changing too. It was built in during beta and balanced with the rest of the game, also note that there is still player skill involved. Having a gold tank don't mean you are better. ---

Well and that's all we get for today thanks for nothing... you say "information out of context isn't information at all" and we say "telling the truth but NOT the whole truth is the truth at all" also "giving a half assed answer is really an answer at all" You realize it almost been a week and seriously whether you guys do it or not WE KNOW you were testing the water to go back on your word on MT now that all this fuss has happened you are trying to figure out if you should just lie and say there will never be or tell the truth..... you want us to calm down CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT EVER UNDERHANDED SHADY MONEY GRABBING DOUBLE DIPPING MT YOU PROCLAIM TO KNOW WE WILL ACCEPT OVER TIME. then tell us there WILL NEVER be game changing items. don't be like there are no plans for gold pants i mean ammo... yeah you could be speaking literally and change the color to red and for the small price of 120 PLEX you can have ammo as powerful as a nuclear BOMB... you think we are stupid and have fun at your shady meeting hope the CSM comes outwith all the memories in tact... i hope that makes since i was typing kinda fast

Edited by: Van Doren on 26/06/2011 23:43:55 TO THE CSM: It was mentioned before but probably lost.
I want a Roadmap. A real roadmap. I sure don't want to be surprised by patches containing 1/10 of what an expansion is supposed to be (INCARNA) with patch notes the day before it goes up. Dates and/or timeframes even if they are not set in stones and more predictions will be better than nothing.
Given the various comments and info leaked all over the place, it seems that CCP barely knows what they will do next week. ANY programming company with that kind of messy way of working is DEAD or bound to be!
I want to see bug fixes sessions on that roadmap. In fact, I want MORE PATCHES that FIX STUFF. Not 1 patch per year with new stuff.
I don't care that there is a patch day per month as long as it is to fix stuff, not put irrelevant halfbaked new stuff.
FIXING CURRENT CONTENT > NEW CONTENT! As simple as that.
NEX Market - As everybody else: No frigging Pay2Win items... EVER!
This is EVE, I don't care about Dust, I don't care about WoD. CCP investments clearly are poorly managed as they are using their current revenues that seems to NOT BE high enough to support investing in the creation of DUST and WOD. Nobody cares about DUST and WOD except CCP at the moment.
Get Eve running smoothly and get partners for the other games that come with money instead of trying to invest your own limited revenues into it. A lot of company did the same error and failed. You're not special in this case.

Well this has certainly been a good step forward. I wish it was taken sooner and more decisively, but I'll go with a +1 to CCP Zulu nevertheless. Some good will was badly needed and this blog delivered some.
Tbh, I feel it could have been a bit more explicit on the pay-to-win issue. I see quite a bit of wiggle-room available that could still lead to p2w MTs, but I'll wait for the outcome of the CSM summit.
It's good to see some measure of respect and common sense by CCP showing through to the community by finally calling on CSM, and hopefully this time to actually listen to them and communicate effectively with them and with the community.
This CSM is certainly earning it's pay... oh wai...
To the CSM: Good work so far, hope you guys have a very productive summit this week and manage to fix this mess for good.

ROFL you also still believe in santa?
Go on hoping while they are planning on optimizing their revenue coz this is what it is all about.
They never gave a **** on CSM and this will not change.

I will add my voice to the others who have said:
Wait and see.
If they meet with the CSM to "assist ... in defining and iterating on our virtual goods strategy" then I will wait a week for that. If they make public promises to stick with solely vanity items - not in a dev blog - but to CSM after such a high-profile meeting, then they will have very little leverage to ever break that promise. Lets see if they do.
Until then, I am off to earn some ISK and do some flying.

Originally by: Roosterton This is finally good to hear. Anyone who's nitpicking on the "golden ammo" wording is now just clamoring for attention and unwilling to drop the "ccp sucks" bandwagon.
This is not true. His statement deliberately leaves the possibility open. Notice how he said there were no *plans* for such a thing.
Now look at what CCP said one year ago.
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1341909&page=1#7
" We do not have plans to go microtransaction with EVE."
I don't see how anybody can read this devblog and view the MT issue settled by any means.

This is a step in the right direction, but still not enough.
As so many others have already said: The only way CCP is going to fix this perceived betrayal is to unequivocally state that there will never be non-vanity microtransactions in Eve Online. Anything less than an absolute statement such as that is insufficient; it means that the idea is still on the table. The idea *cannot* even be on the table. It is completely unacceptable. CCP as a company needs to make a statement to its customers promising absolute commitment to the integrity and quality of its product. Your very carefully worded statement about "gold ammo" falls short. I want a video statement from Hilmar. Please, go the distance to show us you're serious. None of us wants to see the end of Eve; it's the greatest game ever made. You can still fix it, but these half measures and inept attempts at damage control are making it worse not better.

Here's a presentation from the creators of BF:Heroes that explains why Hilmar gives no fcks about the forums.
http://www.slideshare.net/bcousins/paying-to-win
This is a very interesting presentation. Everyone should... MUST watch it!
This presentation will tell you why EVE Online WILL have a Cash Shop WITH GAME CHANGING ITEMS beyond vanity ones!! It shows that the business model works and why it will work in EVE too.
Well I think your comparing Apples and Oranges here. Eve business model is subscription based NOT free-to-play. Don't get this wrong I'm against pay-to-win items but this presentation has no relevance for Eve. See it that way -> Battlefield 2 is a "need to buy" game and you need to unlock the additional weapons per class by gaming success. Cheating that results in a ban. CCP's problem is that they are not World of Warcraft with their 11M+ playerbase; there are approx 300k+ (??) players paying for Eve and most of them -like me- have multiple accounts. Which gives a single users a much bigger lever to pull on. Other thing is that Eve players a bit of a tight bonded bunch, which makes much harder for CCP to just get away with stuff like that. IF they continue with that course a some players will leave BUT there will be no bigger revenue for CCP. They have been so long on the market to have bigger success BUT they haven't. They are have created niche game and it will stay that way. Reason for that is that Eve is a rather complex game (Remember: Eve Learning Curve) and the time based skilling which is very unique within the MMORPG World.
And to CCP: say/do we watch

Its not high-profile because of who attends, but how it got to the meeting and what expectations are about the topic to be settled.
It would be the same high-profile thing if they said they would have a meeting in 3 days with their developers and board members and announce it afterwards.
If you dont think the meeting will be high-profile, just re-read the thread.
