Reading this thread got me thinking. There's a lot of things CCP has done to try to draw in new players, and there is a few things it has done to try to upgrade for older players, like this server move. But in truth, the reality is that this server move does help old players, yet it helps new players as well. So what have they done thats just for old players, just to keep them wanting to play. They seem to be moving to a style of income where they desire a large turnover rate instead of a large loyalty rate.
There's been loads and loads of things to try to get more subs, but not to keep subs. WoW kiddies love the idea of Incarna, where they get to look cool and dance naked at mailboxes in spacestations, as well as the updating graphics, because the shiny attracts the low attention span people who don't care about depth and well structured gameplay. just look at WoW. If its massive and shiny, 12 year olds will play.
Meanwhile, what happened to FW? What happened to trying to continue to work on T1 ship balances? What's going to happen to PI when its no longer the cool new feature imp of the month? What happened to even a 1 mb patch to fix what was obviously a slip of the coding finger in regard to rockets?
I'm having my subs cancelled or not re-GTC'd by the end of July, and leaving them in that manner for the first two weeks of august. Thats a two week non-profit for them. Anyone else who wants to join me (particularly college students since it coincides with their new semester), feel free to pull weight altogether with me. One thing CCP did that greatly decreased this ability to dissent is the lack of posting without paying money.
As one person unaptly put it, eve is so cool that people pay to complain about it. Rather, Eve is run by tightwads so well that you cant complain unless you're subbed. That insulates Eve against reality of both players who simply left and got fed up, and players who would say something but can't because they aren't subbed. Sure, the number of subs has gone up, I'd like to know how many are the multiboxing 14 account types that simply have nothing else to do but play eve all day every day.
Summary- I will be unsubbing for the first two weeks in august to protest the pretty bells and whistles that are trumping substance (fixing FW and rockets come to mind), making the game just like a botox supermodel, pretty outside but barren inside. Anyone who wants to join me can.

CCP loses $7, but there's a little less lag for two weeks?
Have a nice break!

Originally by: Herateis So what have they done thats just for old players, just to keep them wanting to play.
Strategic Cruisers, Wormholes, reworked sov system, to name a few off the top of my head. In the end, you're going to keep complaining because everything they can possible do to benefit old players will eventually or indirectly benefit new players, and we JUST CAN'T HAVE THAT, now can we?
Have fun going through withdrawl in August, and excellent narrative, brother o' mine.

maybe the benefit for older players is already having trained your skills?

how is a 2week break a "protest", its not even like they are really losing any money out of this since you are still gonna pay a full sub once you turn it back on, it will just take 2 more weeks for them to get your money...and it's a little strange that you are leaving over them upgrading the servers, I promise you that most other MMOs would LOVE to see the company that runs the game upgrade the server while also bringing in new content.

You guys/girls better send me the ISK, I will then forward it to "So Sensational", so he/she can do what he/she wants to.

Depth and well structured gameplay? Obviously you have or had a version of this game no one else has ever seen. This game has as much depth as my tax sheet and is far less interesting. Well structured? Do you mean warp to zero/repeat? Do you mean right click orbit (click on weapons) go get coffee combat with less depth than any dice game in the entire world instead? Every MMO I've ever seen has WAY more depth than this click click sleep game has EVER even imagined. Yes I'm back from a protest break myself and expect to be gone for good in a couple of weeks. NO you can't have my stuff I refuse to support even another dull second of this dismal trash for anyone else.

Originally by: Herateis reworked sov system
hahahahahhahahahahahahahaha, I can see you don't live in null sec. The new sov system is worse than the old one tbh, and most people I speak to would rather go back to POS bashing.
Believe me, if me and lot's of other null sec players would rather go back to POS bashing of all things, you know it's not good.
Not that sov wars have been possible since Dominion was released anyway, due to all the lag.
Already let one of my accounts expire, will resub it when things start to improve.
