Ok we understand that there are many many threads about lack of CCPs focus on delivering decent upgrades as of late, or the lack of continual development and support.
I do feel there is this 'its a free upgrade so stop whining' attitude, correct - but doesnt make it right tho does it.. The problem is people actually like the additions but they are so weak, and buggy and shallow that people almost crying out for them to be upgraded.
CCP seem to be more interested in bringing in more players rather than looking after their existing ones. Trouble is new players see the problems and leave, we know there hasnt been a significant change in ppl online for a few years, despite some of the big 'upgrades'
So im not longer rambling..
Look im sure that alot of people would be happy to pay a one off payment for upgrades if they where substantial and supported fully and constantly developed, the revenue could pay for a team to work on enhancing existing content and bug fixes. Its a little annoying as CCP must be make millions per month in subs, but however....
I mean alot of MMOs do it, yes if ppl dont upgrade theres the different instance problem as they could no longer play, and CCP still insist on having a single world which is fine, and there may a point where ppl say im not paying for upgrades (small i think) but I think the benefits probably outweigh the risks. The problem will be if CCP dont commit to enhancing and fixing if we did pay for upgrades. I dont want to talk about WoW but Blizzard have got it right, they listen and they create some outstanding updates, you cant deny that, and this isnt about WoW the games its about business intelligence.
Anyway these are my thoughts and ideas..

I wouldn't mind dropping one subscription in order to pay for decent upgrades IF there was any reason to believe CCP actually understood what is "decent". At this point they don't appear to get why we're unsatisfied.

I rather get ****ty upgrades free than pay for ****ty upgrades.
There is no reason to assume that with more money we would get better expansions: the vast majority of their devs dont work on eve now, more money probably only increases the amount of dust/WOD devs.

Yeah, you assume the quality deficiency comes from a lack of RL ISK. CCP: Where fixing bugs is a luxury, not an obligation. |

While i would like more shiny stuff, i have no illusions regarding how much work ccp IS actually doing, I personally would not like to pay for updates, unless i was to see massive improvements in expansion quality. It does not seem that money is the issue though, as curretly CCP does not have any employees sitting around, and are hiring, which means they are willing to spend money, which means, they have money they need. ANd, i really like the concept of free expansions in a subscription-based game.

Oooooh! Burn! You really got us with your web of logic.
Except....no you didn't did you? We all pretty much answered that until CCP demonstrates the ability and willingness to deliver good upgrades, paying for said upgrades would be pointless.
Try again.

CCPs expansions have been exceptionally good except for the last two (Dominion and Tyrannis) and it seems clear they are sub-par because CCP did not have enough people working on them as they had on previous expansions.
I don't see how paying extra for a dedicated EVE expansion team would be "pointless". They could fix a ton of bugs and give us a better player experience. CCP has made it quite clear that the full EVE team will not be back until 18 months when Incarna/DUST comes back and no amount of whining or ingame "demonstrations" is going to change that. The OP is asking you to put your money where your mouth is. Are you willing to pay a little extra to get EVE back or are you just going to sit there and whine about it? - It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

Blizzard can charge for its WoW expansions because they are extremely polished products which add a tremendous amount of content to the game and take years to develop. Essentially, it takes as long to go from 70-80 as it did to go from 1-60, and that doesn't include the massive amount of endgame content it includes. CCP simply would not be justified in charging for two expansions a year, even if they were the best biannual expansions ever made, because biannual expansions will simply never have that much content.
