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 can think of a lot better things to spend $2500 on.
Vaction on some tropical Island is one. Might have prevented the Rage Quit.

Edited by: PotatoOverdose on 08/06/2010 00:01:07 400 dollars every 60 days...wow, you spend ~$2400 a year on eve. I feel sorry for you. Save that extra money and/or invest it for a few years and then use it to help pay for a nice car/boat. You should not be spending that kind of cash on a single video game. That's just wrong.
If you continue to play eve, sell eight or nine of your ten accounts on the character bazaar on these forums. This will (probably) net you hundreds of billions of isk. Now you're one of the filthy rich people that only get richer because of ccp's actions AND you get to keep most of your real money AND you can stop whining on the forums AND you'll have more time for real life (it has the best graphics). Win-win-win-win.
p.s. If you heed my advice and the quality of your RL or gaming experience improves, please feel free to send me a gratuity isk check.

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.

I can't say I disagree with the OP on everything but I do think that many of those things are only bad because people have nine alts to do them with.
I mean seriously, combat, PI, probing, scouting, hauling, mission running, and even forum whoring are all skewed deeply in favor of the many-alted. "I have more money IRL so I should have exponential powers in-game" just isn't sporting tbh. Nothing to do about that at this point though I guess (except let the accounts lapse like OP heyooo)

Actually, you realize if you sell one of your ten accounts/characters on the character bazaar, you could probably pay for the other nine with plexes for a good long while. Just saying because I feel really bad knowing that someone spends that much RL money on a videogame.

1. Form trash eh? Meh, HTFU.
2. Well, tbqfh the new scanning system is infinitely better than the last... such a ****ing PITA. Anyway, try going to lowsec - nobody even bothers scanning them down they're so worthless.
3. A: Hmmmmm... I don't mind the loot nerf so much (except inasmuch as it makes marauders mostly useless), but the courier nerf was a bit wtfable. Probably not worth quitting over.
3. B: L5s *ARE* doable in low sec - easily and safely. It may help that I am the thing that goes bump in the night, but I can arrange your safe usage of the L5 RSS agent in Floseswin for a modest sum of monthly ISK... :)
4. A:The scram changes were a massive boost to shield tanked PVP... I am quite fond of it. 4. B: D-Scan is hardly new... and hasn't changed recently. What's your beef with it anyway? 4. C: Local also hasn't changed recently... and it certainly isn't worth quitting over? 4. D: Eve is better balanced than it's been in ages. Hybrids are a bit weak, but probably not weak enough to ragequit over.
5. A: The rich getting richer is hardly new... it takes money to make money as they say. The cool thing about Eve is that enough work can make YOU one of the rich too. Much harder to do IRL. The "PI Outposts" thing IIRC is being corrected by virtue of everyone having their modules "broken". 5. B: Yeah, 0.0 mega power blocks suck. I would love to see the Blue Blob broken up some, if only to liven things up a bit. I've had some arguments with Malcanis, but it would be very hard to do that effectively without a system much more like wormhole space. Have you considered living there? 5. C: PI will almost certainly be oh so much better than mining. I hope they replace mining with it in some way, and convert mining skills to affect asteroid PI.
6. Macros suck, I agree. CCP should figure out some way to ban them.
7. Yes, it would be awesome if they fixed things that are already in game - IMO this should have been the meat of your post. Most of the other is pretty meh IMO.
Anyway, fly safe and give me a few bil for being such a cool dude and responding with more than "Can I have your stuff?". :)

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.

So the thing about it is that many game features are "unnecessarily" restrictive - like low sec piracy shutting you out of major market hubs, faction war shutting you out of the opposing factions' high sec, and never being able to get out of a supercarrier because it can't dock. These kinds of things virtually require alts - especially in a small corp. You can preach all you like about "consequences" or "friends" - but the truth of the matter is that being a low sec pirate is what the **** hard without an alt to fetch your **** from high sec (even with good friends).
Meh.

Edited by: Ekrid on 08/06/2010 00:23:38 You should not leave entirely. you should organize a one month long strike in which you and your organized group stop paying for eve or a single month. That would tell them who's boss. this spastic, "u sux I leave" will just create derision and contempt from other players and really do nothing, because as they scorn you, it will look to CCP like the majority agrees with them.
if you want to do ot the good way, organize a 1 month boycott. that gets more attention.
liang, and the person she quoted, doesn't that say there's an inherent flaw in the game itself? Of course, with 9 paid alts, CCP loves that much more than fixing the flaws.
food for thought.

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.
