You asked a few people, that doesn't mean you asked 100% of EVE.
Regardless, CCP are expanding on their vision of their game.
If you don't like PI, don't use it.
lol @ this ******.
Every idiot who think's they're being clever says "if you dont like it dont use it".
well I got news for you. the reason they could implement this is because we pay their salary. so Im supposed to pay for something Im not using and be okay with that?
The cool thing is you're not paying for it. Its a free expansion. They could quite reasonably ask you to keep paying for the game in its current state (see every other commercial MMO with paid expansions).
Fact is my friend, they don't charge for the expansions. You're not paying to use it. Seems to me that...
If you don't like PI, don't use it!
the cool thing about this you proved you're an idiot. There's no such thing as "Free". Sure, a cost is hidden in something else, that doesn't make it free.
Do you really think that us paying 15$ a month is "free"? I bet you're poor in real life, since you can't seem to grasp basic concepts of labor value.
the devs who make expansions are NOT doing it on their own free time for the love of the game. They're doing it because they get paid. Who pays them? Their management. Where does the management get the money? Subscribers to Eve online.
They continually have cut costs (see: removal of medium shader, classic client, widescreen, and on and on) to keep the "expansions" "free". Faction Warfare was an expansion. why isn't it still being worked on? Oh thats right, cause it'd cost more money, and as it was given without a direct pricetag, further work on it would cost more money than it would bring in. Thats why they orphaned it and it sits in ****ville.
welcome to reality.
You realise they removed that stuff because of the cost of the time it spent to maintain it, not the cost in money. If it came down to a graphics programmer (someone who can write HLSL) having to maintain a separate set of code just for one thing, instead of working on new effects, or polishing existing ones, I know what I'd choose. Plus there's the fact that not many people took advantage of those options. Maintaining something for the minority just doesn't make sense when it's not paying off.
Several of your posts give off the aura that you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm a software engineer (1st degree), and am doing a games design course to hopefully go straight into game development (HLSL or senior programming pos.). I can apply many of the things I've been taught in the S/W dev. alone to the games programming side of making an MMO; you on the other hand have no experience, and are just blowing chunks as far as I'm concerned.
Learn about what you preach before you preach it. If ever there was an opposite to fanboy, you're it.
