Earlier it introduced paying with cash for ISK, and characters full of perfect skills and a lot of SP. Everything we have now is nothing really changing the situation when CCP earns money, allows you to do something and you pay them for that.

We had cash for ISK which translated to cash for character. Character which could be found for pretty much any specialization. Why is specializing in more stuff so damn bad if it's done on a single character but not a big deal if you do it over 3 characters? |

Also why people are blaming CCP that they allow people to do something? People if you dont want this feature, dont use it. No one forcing you to extract or inject. Its your choice, and since when EVE players started to care about who have more SP?
Remember you had 50k SP when you started and you played so furiously? Now what? Yoy cry because everyone can have more SP than you?

SP trading is a new functionality that quite obviously generates cash for CCP.
It's also not 'Gold Ammo' as players also have the option to use it without paying CCP.
You're free to not like it, but then you should also be opposed to, say, a single guy/gal having multiple accounts.

Yea it makes since. I mean the guys at CCP can't really be this incompetent unless they fully intended on bleeding the last ounce of life out of this game while they still can. Not to mention the Devs silence in those DevBlogs. Either they are trying to bleed this game out then shut down development of Eve and focus entirely on Valkyrie or it is as you say. Also the new camera angles remind me of EA typical game effects. Okay let's real talk here for a minute. They hired an EA manager because working for EA means you know how to play in the big time. They might be squeezing blood from a stone right now but to be fair they're mostly capitalising on the people who we affectionately know as whales anyway. Jump in, blow $400 on stuff and then get pwnd and leave. Same cycle just doubled down. It's cynical but that's business. You're assuming they'd switch off the servers while you still pay $12/month? Really? They'd actively kill $5mil a month for what reason? To be perfectly fair and honest counting for inflation you're paying less for eve year on year and them not raising the sub fee is costing them money - for our benefit only. Are they switching over to a semi-F2P model to compensate for that last point? Duh. Yes. And WOW has woken up to this as well after raping their customers wallets for $15 a month for 10 years. The silence from devs you mention is a tactic deliberately employed by companies who do not want to defend their behaviour. Jim Sterling recently pointed this out in one of his videos but I've observed the tactic for many years previously while I beta tested bf2/2142 and lastly WAR for EA. As recently as that failed enterprise they were using the old cold shoulder trick to suffocate dissatisfaction and while it's reprehensible to see CCP now use it I can understand why - because it's effective. My sub expires in April, when does yours? I naively bought 6 month sub packages for all my accounts (a $770.00 waste) one week before CCP posted that 2nd skilltrading Devblog which is why I'm so pissed about this (both at myself and CCP). So unfortunately my accounts don't expire until sometime in July, but it will be the last time I pay CCP a single penny.
Nowadays I spend more time whining in the thread then I do playing this wretched game. I'll continue playing this game until my game resources have been exhausted and then it'll be time for me to cut my ties off from Eve forever.

I received this in my mail yesterday:
Dear Gadget Helmsdottir,
We regret to inform you that even though you were the inspiration from which this august corporation was created, and while we respect you greatly as an individual, we no longer require your services.
In order for Gadget-Corp to meet its shareholder's expectations, we require our operatives to be well above average in terms of productivity and capability. Due to new technological advances, consideration of our competitors' capabilities, and the expectations of our shareholders, we have increased the minimum skill requirement to be an operative of Gadget-Corp. We are afraid that you no longer meet the bar for these requirements.
Just last week, we have had twelve applicants, that though they may lack a bit of experience, have capabilities well beyond where you currently stand. The lack of experience will be corrected in due time, but we would be remiss in our responsibilities to ignore the potential of the new applicants.
Gadget Helmsdottir, you are hereby informed that your termination date is exactly two months from the issue of this notice. You are expected to train any and all new employees that share your position. Failure to do so will result in loss of the very generous severance package discussed in a further message.
Thank you for being a part of Gadget-Corp's extensive history, and should you take the technological steps to achieve skill parity with the new applicants, please don't hesitate to send us your resume and/or CV. Please understand that past service does not guarantee placement.
Respectfully, Mirror-Universe Gadget
Seriously, though. Watch and see if many corps don't raise their bar for entry to silly levels. Silly levels for those that gain SP the old-fashioned way, but can be easily gained SP trading.

It's kind of like all the terrible posts from SA and Reddit got together to troll the EVE boards, and this thread is the Magnum Opus of their labour.
Seriously all we need now is someone to demand a 2010-era time-locked EVE server and someone else to threaten to write their own emulator w/o skill injectors and this thread could be complete. |

Seriously, Daniela.
Every time you post, you have a different lame story as to why you are still here but are leaving real soon.
For you and all the other people no one cares about. Just leave and get it over with, for Christ's sake. If angst were contagious this forum would be in quarantine.

If you petition they will totally refund you and close the accounts, or refund you the difference of what you've paid/played. Their billing support is really pretty awesome to deal with.

If you buy gametime with ISK you are equally supporting their business model, so your declaration is meaningless. You might has well have announced you'd never again buy from them with VISA(but MasterCard or PayPal is fine!).
Someone bought that PLEX with cash, and the money comes off the books credited to you.

It's almost what Mr Epeen said a few posts further up; Quote: Most new people coming from other MMOs can't wrap their coddled little carebear brains around the difference between SP and experience. My coddled little brain is wrapped around the fact that EVE's skill progression was different and was equally harsh to everyone, but now there's a fast track. It's not quite like grinding in other MMOs but it does change the perception on skills. Equally harsh? Harsh? Seriously?
It's about the least harsh thing in the game. You never even needed to be logged in to acquire it. You still don't. I actually see the 12 to 22 million SP characters I sell for about an hour every six months. Not exactly a harsh grind.
You remember learning skills, right?
They got rid of them because they served no purpose to advancing game play. Neither does artificially restricting the speed you get to train...everyone gets train...for being subbed. It accomplishes nothing and is about a dated as the game in general.
Most of the vets that post here are like FOX viewers with their average age of 72 years old. Stuck in the rut of past memories. The 'good old days'. If they were so good, then we'd not have moved past them.
No. The time for the EVE equivalent of walking twelve miles uphill both ways in a perpetual blizzard to school every morning are long passed. The dinosaurs will soon be extinct and I'll be damned if I let them take my favorite game with them.
