As anyone can see the numbers of the game are plummeting. This is because CCP simply cannot contol the human pirate problem that has runed the game. You want to push us out but encourage rampit pirate activities to the point that there is no reason to leave Empire space. My Corp members give you till Jan. of 2004 to ******* fix this problem else we have decided to cancel ALL of our accounts upon expiration, period! This is a very good game that is seriously lacking in control of purely evil people and content. Your game will die and the servers WILL close because there will simply be no more PAYING customers. Then we can all rejoice over spending $40 for a game that was a total failure. The time has come to choose, do you want to promote evil people or paying customers. Screw the damned pirates. They do not pay the majority of your income. I will remind you that the mags I read gave this game 3 stars at best. So, you are already fighting an uphill battle to keep this afloat. Your only hope now is word of mouth and I don't now ANYONE who is promoting this game. Finally, I lost a very close friend who did play this game but quit. Another reason for me to consider NOT renewing my subscription. It's sad when Battlefield 1942 is both free and more fun to play than EVE. The clock is ticking.... time to decide.

Flippin' 'eck. Calm down and try to put your thoughts rationally and specifically. What's up?

Edited by: Hackett on 31/10/2003 09:06:24 Yeah - great idea. Get rid of pirates and the most interesting aspect of gameplay.
Go away

I really hope someone comes and pods every one of your sorry behinds. Of all the anti pirate posts this has the least sway of any. What would you prefere all weapons are removed and Bistot made available in 1.0?

For those of you who are younger that 21 I can only say, Go to College and get an MBA! What a bunch of narrow minded twits! EVE is a BUSINESS! Get it! MAKE money else OUT of business! I doubt it as I'm 45 and understand these things but it was worth a try anyway.

I have actually changed my mind about pirates, to an extent, after experiencing a small "rush" of adrenaline last night when our corp roid field was invaded by a hord of (err, 1) Mercenary Frigate/s. Although I wasn't directly involved (being 8 jumps away), the resulting condition red was a bit of a buzz.
I'm not sure about the gate and jump-in campers though, I still think they are muppets.

I think he lost his ship due to a pirate blowing his ass up and saying 'pwned'. Another typical post from carebears. All I can say is you know what i was going to say, it starts with a st and ends with a fu., You carebears going to get me banned =)

And what will you say when the game simply goes out of business due to lack of players who pay money to support it?

Edited by: Varia on 31/10/2003 09:20:14 Wow a lot of emotion their, but who gives anybody the right to demand anything from CCP/Eve.
Offer suggestions,Criticisms maybe, but demands no.
I beleive it's a siimple case of choice, either play eve or don't.
I'm currently enjoying Eve so I'll continue playing and as soon as it becomes boreing to me I'll find something else.

Sure they are a business, but that doesn't mean they are going to change their product to suit the needs of one whining person who failed to notice the PvP nature of their product.
If you want to play a game with no pirates, stay in secure space, or better still, a station.
Oh, and ranting on forums just makes player pirates want to kill you all the more. ______________________________________________

WTF you think going to college makes you any smarter in this game? This is a game! Its more about comonsense. You aviously were dumb enough to goto a .4 or lower after the CCP warning and guess what you got f'cked son. Guess that college degree means ****. ---

Please tell me what exactly you want. Do you really want completely safe mining simulator? Where's the fun in that? Pointing a roid and click button, repeat.
"Oh wow there comes a 1000 isk bounty npc pirate. This is dangerous stuff this mining business although i could kill that rat 10 times with one shot. Only 10m omber and i can buy next ship so i can mount one more mining laser."

You are dumb, your book smart, but dumb in the common sense feild.
What you just said hasn't happened. What you say is a whine because you lost your ship. If you quit because you lost your ship then good man leave, another less carebear whiner. ---

Unless you speak for over 50% of the player base which I very much doubt that that will happen.
As much as I can tell you are one voice (unless your corp is really big I.e. 15000 strong) in an estimated 25000 subscribers.

As much as I dislike Tank CEO and his n00bie killing in Sarum, I have to agree.
"stfu Carebear".
And just for info. In RL I am 30 and a Senior Systems Analyst with a degree. You are the one being childish... EXPLAIN wtf you are on about and MAYBE you could get through a thread without getting flamed otherwise I refer you to the Tank quote.

Tharizdun, those pirates pay money also. It's so simple. Don't go to .4 or lwer space. Don't YOU get it? I currently live in 0.0 space as a leader of a group of 20+ members and we lose ships to pirates quite frequently. It's the price of doing business out there.
I hate those damn pirates just like you but for God's sake, get a grip. You're the idiot here, not the pirates.
Learn some PvP skills, team up with others, work it through instead of whining.

Thar,
Tut tut tut....as someone with an MBA you should read your first post back to yourself and think again.
You are correct that CCP is in business to make money and you should also look at a concept called the product lifecycle. CCP has roughly 30k subscribers (best guess) which equates to about ú240k per month. This money is used to maintain the game servers etc and make a profit. Not bad when you look at it this way. I will also make the assumption that development costs are covered by box sales (I may be wrong correct me if I am).
The product lifecycle shows that the game will naturally die a death in the future (do we all still play PAC MAN) as nearly all products do, as they go out of fashion. Nothing is forever, live with it!
I don't often post but when I see this 'I know best!!' whiney post quoting age and qualifications without giving a reasoned argument I get a little ****ed off.
I too have an MBA and am over the age of 21. I understand that the game isn't perfect, but then you can't please everyone. When I stop enjoying it I will stop playing. I also know that if CCP lose money the game will fold, so it is in their interest to please the majority. THEY KNOW THIS!!

What you fail to realise is that there have been many carebears threating doom and gloom since day one. Hell CCP made most of Eve PvP-proof. Seriously, did you lose your battleship with the miner 2's on it?
Eve is meant to be a universe where ppl can be what they wanna be. If ppl want to be pirates, they are free to do it.
Most ppl accept that PvP is part of Eve. Could you please post who killed you, so I can thank him/her?

BAHAHAHAHA.
Read the box, Mr. "I'm 45 so my opinion obviously counts for so much more". PVP GAME. Has been since it all began.
I think Earth and Beyond is more your style, there's no pvp there.
