Hi there!
Last post (because account expires in a few minutes) for a long, long time or maybe ever. Been going through the forums before I go on my merry way and something kept jumping out at me across many posts.
OK 2 things
1st- OMG I have never seen such dedicated trolls in my life. It is amazing how much time and energy you (trolls) put into disagreeing with, shouting down, or just slinging mud onto ideas and perspectives that are perfectly reasonable for discussion.
My favorites are the multi-paragraph responses that can be boiled down to ôI am aware of this because someone wrote it before you.ö
The most hilarious ones of course are those that complain their time has been wasted reading an idea they have read before. Then they spend all the time writing smarta$$ responses as opposed to a simple ôSomeoneÆs said that alreadyö or an even simpler click to the next post.
My WOW training has shown these are often the ignored or unpopular kids from high school getting their frustration out but I was always under the impression EvE was more for adults.
The fact that grown men and women are engaged in this is... funny? Lame? I dunno what the right word would be to convey my opinion of that. I pray you donÆt have children. ôDaddy, I learned the Moon revolves around the Earth!ö ôWell duh stupid, I knew that already. HereÆs a nickel- buy a clue ret@rd!ö
Anyway thatÆs just an observation.
2nd- When folks say ôIÆll keep playing until itÆs P2W and then IÆm leaving!ö Hate to tell you but ôWell duh stupid! ItÆs like that already!ö In the dark ages before Plex- Isk was not merely currency but a score. Your net assets reflected the time and effort you put into New Eden (yeah, yeah not always nit-pickers ).
Then PLEX came out and since then Isk has nothing to do with your skill, will, or substance. Now anyone can be a billionaire on day 1 so long as you throw down the cash.
Does this mean you are leaving? Of course not! You may ***** and moan but in the end you will go along with it. Every time!
The reason it is P2W now is because of you! The EvE community. When Plexes came out you (may have) whined and complained but you refused to vote with the one thing you could which was your wallet. YOU kept it profitable. YOU made it ok. YOU bought the Plexes!
Now it IS P2W and it will become more so over time because YOU wonÆt really do anything about it. It will continue to have all those little annoying issues (like tiny text, life-long bugs, half-realized innovations [FW for ex.], and development centered around MT). And why? Because of YOU!
Blaming others (devs, fanbois, CEOs, CSM, your mom) is just passing the buck.
Ok IÆm done. Thanks for reading and enjoy EvE as you have made it (that last bit was not sarcasm even though it sounded like it).

Oh yea, we can discuss all we want, and CCP will COMPLETELY ignore us. Should we apply the same to your thoughts here? Shall we completely ignore you until you podkill us? Let's discuss.
...oh wait..

Plex is not the P2W that will cause me to quit.
Plex helps players like me who can't afford the game every month (or even just knowing that I dont have to pay for the game if i dont want to) probably the main thing that keeps me playing the game, it isnt a pure profit for ccp, every bit of that isk was earned by a player through the ingame economy.
The P2W that will make me quit is if ccp introduces items that are game influencing, destructive to game balance, which entertain pure profit into ccp's wallet. This type of P2W is good on free games but not on a game where subscription is expected, imo.
There is a very huge difference here.

Someone paid for your monthly sub. It cost CCP nothing as it was your (prepaid)time and effort that created the fictitious money that someone else wanted and so this fictitious money was exchanged and converted into real money for CCP.

Game Influencing items: Everything in the NEX store. (Look at all the monocle owners talking trash because they spent $80) Destructive to game balance: NEX store (NOTHING is balanced here. "MACROtransactions" Also, resources that went into the NEX store could have been spent on fixing bugs, developing better gameplay, working on Incarna, etc.. Pure profit into CCP's wallets: NEX store. Players get NOTHING for using the NEX store except for a product that can't be destroyed (See destructive to game balance. Everything should be destroyable)
"This type of P2W is good on free games but not on a game where subscription is expected, imo." - I completely agree.

Laconian... I feel the same, but the thing is, don't let the trolls ruin your game, just do not pay attention to them, that is the smart point. So do not leave, just forget this sometimes stupid comunity ok?

Well said! And now back to Trollololin CCP for their lackluster love of Eve online as a source of cash, rather than a source of beauty and concept that it once was.

Welcome to EVE onine, where a capitalist based game is supposed to have socialist based mechanics. Or so the trolls wish for NEX and play style.

Remember most of the 'Adults' dont even post on the forums anymore due to the massive influx of kiddies / haters.
The games only on the client, not the forums (anymore).

Actually, why is this here? How is quitting Eve an OOPE? I guess it's a transition to being out of pod?

Point1 is a philosophical ranting. Point2 - totally agree. Eve IS PW2 and no matter how much drivel is put into defense of the PLEX, PLEX IS P2W. NEX store is another step in the same direction, and I'm quite sure that in a year from now we'll have SP for cash, boosters for cash, standings for cash. In 2 years - gold ammo, special ships and premium modules. Don't know about you, but for me Eve already lost most of the charm. I can't bother ratting, or trading or PI as instead of that I can simply buy ISK. I don't care that much about ships I lose, because I can measure every loss in "minutes" of my RL job and most of the ships cost next to nothing this way. PLEX was a terrible idea gameplay-wise. Of course, it allowed slackers and students to play the game and grind for ISK sitings days in days out in from of the screen. It allows ppl with jobs to buy nearly anything with the only limit - how much cash do we desire to throw into Eve. It's win for CCP, it's loss for Eve. It simply killed the soul of this game IMHO. I'm not threatening to quit because of this or because of that. I'll quit when I won't give a **** about the game and MT is certainly contributing to that.

I never bought a plex.
Can't afford them. :-(
Got too many guns to feed. Even have to make my own bullets (and brew my own beer).
