I have already let 3 accounts expire, the rest start in a day or two.
Firstly for all you forum Ho's, NO you can't have my stuff, as I may reactivate in the future, all the while hoping for some sense to sink into CCP's collective heads. Taking at LEAST 3 months off. I have way too much stuff anyway, and I am keeping it all.
What's ticked me off, in no particular order:
1. Forum Trash
So what CCP, it's better than the SomethingAwful Forums so you think it's a nice place? Compared to the other place I frequent (THE Major Flight/Combat Sim Forums) this place is a Cesspool full of children, attention Ho's and overt homosexuals who's very ingame names border on same sex harrassment. Oh, there are a few good folks, but they are sadly WAY outnumbered by the bad ones. I rarely post but I do try to read topics of interest, at least until they deteriorate into utter nonsense. Your sexual preference is of zero concern to me, keep it off the forums.
2. The Noobifying of probing and exploration
Why you CCP think that a valuable radar site should be easier to probe down than a loser magnometric site in high sec is beyond me. Sure, the noobs can find them. But most of these "people" haven't bothered to train hacking at all. Over half the high sec radar sites I find have one to three damaged containers, which I suspect is from noobs shooting them trying to get the stuff or just hissy fitting. Many of the combat sites I find are half finished from noobs giving up on them because they can't handle the DPS of a high sec combat site. They shouldn't have been able to find them in the first place CCP. CCP's noob buff to exploration screwed the vets.
CCP you STOLE many, many weeks of training from my highly skilled probers.
3. The Stealth Level 5 and Level 4 mission nerf(s)
A. I have a Level 4 storyline to run. MY agent is 4 jumps from low sec and this mission requires me to deliver 40k meters cubed of stuff 2 jumps into low sec. Yeah, I can do it by courier contracting it to my hauler alt who can then make 2 trips in a tricked out blockade runner. Can most Level 4 mission runners do this?? I doubt it. Is it worth a few percentage points in my standings???
B. CCP your "mission wizards" really need to fit out a few teams of say a couple of BS's and a Logi. Then start running Level 5's in low sec and see how you do. All these low sec whiners who tell you how doable they are are just looking for fresh meat. In any level 5 you are gonna take LOTS of damage. When you get jumped or hotdropped on your dead as soon as you are tackled. The aggro'd NPC's will keep hammering you while ignoring the "pirates". Huge force multiplyer for the attackers. You can probably kill most mission runner groups with a few tacklers and a couple of ECM frigs. Shut down the Logi and/or main DPS ship and the NPC's will do the rest.
BTW, Mission running is maybe 20% MAX of my income...I just like to do them for a change of pace. Not anymore.
4. Screwy things with combat
Namely what is the logic behind any noob with Propulsion jamming trained to level 1 being able to INSTANTLY, guaranteed EVERYTIME being able to web or scram almost any ship in the game????? Sure you have Warp stab's, but they nerf your combat effectiveness so bad they aren't even an option in most cases. Propulsion jamming should be skill AND chance based just like the rest of EWAR. Webbing is an insta done deal on anybody with skill level 1 pilot. Lame.....
Why is the D-scan a guarenteed hit everytime? With ship type and name for Chrissakes. Scanning should also be skill based and counter measures should be available. Better ECCM against probes is needed too IMO.
Local chat in anything below .8 sec should be limited, ie you show while within 25 km of a gate. Chat should NOT be a combat/scanning tool.
Hybrid weapons need some work also.

5. The filthy rich get filthy richer and the rest of us scramble for the scraps.
Sadly this mirrors R/L I guess. The recent faux pas about the reprocessing of staion modules and making rediculously cheap Outposts is a prime example. Whoops....sorry we made a few more trillions for the filthy rich and helped them to protect their serf fiefdoms even more.
The Null Sec Mega Alliances pretty much suck IMO. Too much Power and Wealth in too few hands.
Invention is severely lacking, the chance factor far outweighs the skill level improvement. Fix invention so that the skill level factor has much more effect on your chances of success than chance. This from a guy with all his racial Encrytion skills and the core skills needed for what I do at Level 5. Many more months of training for naught.
PI I am not interested in, as this will become another "Macro Haven". Which brings me to...
6. Macro Users
Mining is NOT a viable profession with the HUGE amount of Macro Miners in this game. Period. I am not familiar with Macro Ratters personally, but I have little doubt they also exist in force. Macro PI'ers will soon be out in force also. My first 3 accounts I let expire was NOT an accident. It was a tribute to the last 3 Macro Miners who I seriously investigated, and turned in to CCP with all the gory details. They got a slap on the hand and were back at it again within a weeks or so.
You like their "money that much CCP? Well kiss my $400 US every 60 days goodbye for awhile.
7. Fix and Update stuff that is already ingame
It's been said hundreds of times but I will say it one more time. Quit the expansions for expansion sake and fix/tune everything we already have! I listed just a few of my pet peeves above. Icarna...I could care less. I am not here to be a social butterfly or crossdress.
Why Am I bothering with this longwinded tl;dr post? Because down deep I see a huge potential for a GREAT internet spaceships game. Just need somes work. So much stuff ingame is ****ing me off, I am just not having any fun anymore.
PS: No I have not had a cool ship ganked lately. No losses at all in months. Last fight I had some "noob prober" copped an attitude that I was in "HIS" complex and supidly attacked me. I melted his butt before Concord got a shot in. I am just really sad that all the effort by CCP is going into expansions and not fine tuning all the content we have now.

The fact you have 10 accounts suggest you are taking this SPACESHIP VIDEO GAME a bit too far. Go outside and enjoy some life outside of a computer for a while. 
I only play 3 or 4 of them regularly. The rest are basically training accounts for characters for sale. I have rolled quite a few in the last couple of years.
Thanks Akita T, you actually read my long winded gotta go post. 
I don't wanna be one of the filthy rich...seriously. Just want CCP to quit "expanding", ignoring macro'ers and subsidizing mega aliances.
Folks I am just voting with my wallet.

Don't get me wrong, but even if I have to mostly agree with the stuff you said, I still think actually paying cash for 10 accounts in the first place is bonkers
Oh.. I haven't paid cash in over 6 months. Could continue for another 6 months buying plexs with isk on hand. Some people buy GTC's, sell Plexs. I usually just pay direct to CCP. My character trading and other ingame activities gave me a great return on my investment.
Believe me I have PLENTY of "stuff". I make great money IRL when working and am happily single with no debts.
First year and 1/2 I did pay cash....my isk stash that was left is for my "shiny" addiction. Doesn't matter now. CCP is just going downhill IMO.....the need to focus on improving what eve has, again IMO.

I can haz your stuff?
Except someone who is a "vet" doing highsec radar sites probably doesn't have much 
I do what is fun....for fun. I do high sec radars for the decrytptors your excellency.
Nah I don't have any stuff...3 Cynabals, 2 Vigilants, 1 Machriel, 1 Sleipnir, Rapier, Daredevil, Dramiel, Vaga, Nemesis, Rook, Falcon, Gila, CNR, 10 Zephyrs....5 assorted T1 BS's and those are just mu unassembled ships in the main Corp Hanger.
Modules....lol don't even wanna go there....hint 3 unused Caldari Navy Invulnerability Fields...a few installed. Nah ..... I don't have any stuff. T2 Rigs....nah don't have like 50 assorted laying of those either. Researched the BPC's and built em all myself.
I am not saying you can't make a profit in this game. I am saying there are some SERIOUS things wrong with the direction CCP is taking....again IMO.
And ONCE AGAIN, I am voting with my R/L wallet.

seriously what the hell were you doing with ten accounts and still being as poor as dirt
well maybe you're poor as dirt because you make bad financial choices and are dumb
Speak of the Devil...a rocket scientist from SomethingAwful!
Define poor as dirt..please??? You mean ingame??? Yeah I guess I am...Only 10B liquid...anther 20B or so in assets.
R/L...well I don't make that much...but everything I own is payed for.
I can certainly afford a couple grand a year for eve if I wanted...you should see my bar tabs.

Quit reading here tbh.
Please feel free to join the rest of us in the 21st century. Its quite nice if you can get over your ingrained bigotry.
Too bad you didn't read the rest. You would have seen where I said I don't care whatever anyones particular sexual preference is. A game forum is no place to advertise it, as it may offend others. We have some very offensive ones here, IMO.

So CCP sweeps this one under the rug to Out of Pod Experience...Kinda like they do with Macro Petitions.
So I have:
1. Closed down all corp offices and consolidated MY stuff in personal Hangers....which reminds me how LAME the no easy way to tell the difference between BPO's and BPC's is. People have been asking for that for how long CCP?
2. Set all accounts to a skill longer than the the time left on them.
3. Did the STUPID low sec storyline mission...at about 0400 EVE time, successful but was risking a tricked out Occator worth the measly 5M isk and tiny % increase to faction standings? No, but the faction standings HIT would have been even worse. You are gonna have LOTS of justified complaints about this CCP.
4. LMAO at lots of replies that just proved my points about these forums. Some well thought out ones too, either in agreement or disagreement it doesn't matter. Even a couple with some good advice.
5. Deleted my Bookmark to these forums and replaced with a bookmark to this thread. Way at the bottom of my List...where it belongs.
BTW, FYI Eve Online is the ONLY MMO I have ever played or really ever considered. I just am more than a little sad that Internet Spaceships is becoming secondary to CCP's desire for growth at whatever the cost. They don't really seem to care about how it affects their current player base.
One thing left to do...uninstall my two clients after I get home from work. Going in late today not much anyone can say...as I am the boss.
Will check the Dev Blogs sometime this fall. Goodbye and Good Luck to all. CCP fix this game. I would like to come back someday.

Well I haven't even looked at the forums in 2 weeks...deleted all my BM's except this one.
It really should not have been moved from GD IMO, but it is CCP's forums. They can do WTF they want, as can I, and I have.
Cya in 3 or 4 months or so. I will activate one account then maybe, AFTER I check out the dev blogs and skim the other forums that I read before.
If nothing else, I will sell about 15B worth of characters (2), buy some more really cool stuff and go blow it up....along with some of the folks of my "favorite EVE dorks list". At least that will be fun.
I prolly am just not cut out for all the MMO drama queens......and other queens too.
Bye.
