In the long-term, WiS and Incarna has great promise and could offer untold opportunities for creative ideas to expand the game. However at the moment, the game is so horrendously broken that investment into Incarna at this stage (or rather, with such a huge bias) seems (is) utter folly.

What are you talking about ? It ended almost exactly as I expected it to end.

Why am I not surprised to see Mittens lacking the format to admit he was wrong when defending Incarnage?

How this standard of delivery can be tolerated in a company with external shareholders is beyond my understanding.

The monocle Riots

Just saying

illustrates both that you were not there and do not understand what happened.

But then I expected as much from a politician.

What, you mean some boob claimed that the leaked document was hard evidence and proof that CCP was going to nickel and dime us to death with non-vanity items at any moment and half the blockheads from the forums went and shot at monuments for three days straight while everyone in local asked wtf was going on and why the hell people were making rainbows outside trade hubs for?

Where where YOU when things like this have happened repeatedly in real life throughout known history and the end result is almost always the same, bunch of doomsayers incite a riot, people burn stuff to the ground, then afterwards no one knows seems to recall what it was all about in the first place.

The fantastical and fictional notion that non-vanity items were right around the corner. Bullocks.

lets look at this logically bro.

Where are you getting your information pertaining to what CCP does and does not intend to introduce?
If you use CCP as your source, they said the same think about "gold ammo" as they did about MT.

If you are using conjecture as your source, sobeit.

In either case it does not make the notion "fantastical and fictional".

Please take the time to think about it and answer in all seriousness. Thank you

I have, and I am satisfied with the idea that CCP will never introduce permanent non-vanity items that do not require an item exchange (beyond skill boosters, and the like, that have no corollary in the game at present), in order to preserve the integrity of the player driven economy. Otherwise those like me, will be cancelling their subscriptions.

If they introduce gold ammo that requires an exchange of manufactured ammo, akin to the Loyalty Points store, so be it, it will not be game breaking. Everyone in the game will be able to purchase this ammo from the player market with currency from within the game. It will not be a thin air situation.

With each new expansion, CCP's operating and overhead costs increase. Do you see their subscriptions increasing at a substantial enough rate to compensate?

You do the thinking.

It's a good and well written article. Nothing new for us forum addicts, but good summary about the events. Well done :)

I think you deliberately avoided my question.



I did ask quite politely. Thanks again.

Got a little brown on your nose there?

So conjecture. Thank you.

Thousands of people that were there had the IDEA (in fact also based on their conjecture) that CCP was going to either introduced gold ammo, introduce items that bypassed industrialists (beyond clothing), or both.

Based on hysteria more than logical conjecture you mean.

CCP introducing a way for anyone with sufficient real life money to buy out the mineral index and literally bottom out the player driven market in the process? Hardly.

And revolting because of the introduction of microtransactions is logical as opposed hysterical. Sounds rather biased to me.

The point being (my first post in this thread) that if you honestly think everyone was 'revolting over monocles', you really don't understand the situation. That's all. But again, I don't think may people share that perspective,

I get the very strong "idea" that it's more "political" in this case in point.

And you taking his term to mean he is implying that the riots were solely attributed to Monocles in their entirety, is convenient and contextual.

Just because they call it Times Square does not mean there are clocks lined up along the street, neither is calling it the Monocle Riots an indication that Monocles in and of themselves are the sole proprietor of discontent.

You come up with a name for the riots, and let me poke at it.

Microtransaction Riots? No.
Non-Vanity Industrial Circumvention Riots? No.

Need I continue?

In fact, a lot of people were clamoring in Amarr local for CCP to 'take their Monocles' back as it were, so who really understood what the riots were about at their core, is even up for debate to begin wtih.

I was there.

How about "riots"? That would be a way to describe it literally and without bias. Which many people are not interested in.

Or Jita Riots, which is what anybody who actually still plays the game refers to them as...
