CCP's plan to sell datacores from FW LP stores disrespects people who have spent years planning, training, and missioning to get standings for maximal research points. It also changes the entire fabric of training and overall game strategy.

...and just so you know, where i come from changing the rules in the middle of the game is cheating.

Think of it as internet space Calvinball.

"disrespects"

Say you have 150,000 research points in Amarrian Starship Engineering, you could get 1000 datacores at the current rate.
If you wait until after the change, you will be able to get 1500 datacores, it seems.

It's an MMO. The first rule is that the rules are going to change. That's one of the bigger aspects of the genre as a whole.

Hmmm... Where to start, where to start...

how much effort

Irrelevant. The developers cannot make a practice of avoiding change in an area where people have put effort into it as they would be left with no room to make change at all. Your comments about disrespect, cheating, and your effort don't communicate a reasoned argument, but a self-centered emotionally driven whine.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO THINK!!! <- I'm actually laughing there.

I wonder how Eve would look if it never changed. I didn't play during the first 5 years or so, but I bet it would be very dead without all of the changed (or added for that matter) content. Just learn to adapt to changes, it's what you should expect when playing MMOs.

My God. The genius. The sheer willpower. The strength of character. I can't believe you're not sitting in a castle somewhere, ruling the world. To think all this time I never knew you existed. Please forgive me, I guess I didn't understand that YOU are the guiding light of the universe, and YOUR ideas are the only ones that matter. Let me wipe this excrement off your hands, so you can bless us all once again.

Maybe you could give us some more of your awesome, mind-blowing wisdom. Like tell me again how much effort I didn't put into this game to get where I am today. That's a good one.

In one single blow, you've taken your very well thought out and calculated topic of discussion (and yes, I'm being completely serious here, it's well thought out, the math is done, and you are obviously passionate about the topic to go that far with it, and I respect you for it), your reputation overall, and any serious discussion that could be had, and completely trashed it with a garbage comment.

People are going to flame. People are going to troll. People are going to make misplaced comments and spout off at the mouth.

Welcome to forums.

What makes or break your thread is how you react.

[If you were honestly trying for discussion here, you clearly lost all respect as soon as you started getting insulting and disrespectful. (See what I did there?)

You don't seem to actually be refuting anything he said, here, and flowery prose is clearly not your forte.

I wonder how many of these toons saying "things change, get used to it", would be okay with the elimination or nerfing of all the old BPOs which were created under the old invention lottery?

Things do change, but why do they always change in such as way as to not anger all of the most wealthy players in eve?

Things are going to change, yea, thats fine.

But they dont have to change without a good reason, and CCP Soundwave hasnt made any effort to justify or rationalise these changes.

Why datacores and FW, explain that CCP and we might have a basis for understanding.
