Eve taught me there are other games worthy of my limited time.
At one time, no such game existed and I used to tell my corp and alliance, "Silly person, there is no //insert game name here//, there is only Eve."
Eve showed me there was true merit in "online" friends. I have a few close ones now. I have never met many of them but I talk with them often. Because of Eve. I thank CCP for this.
Eve taught me that a silly spaceship game could actually get the adrenaline rolling and get it rolling real fast. It taught me if I invest my valuable game time into saving in game money for a pixel spaceship, I would actually use tactics to prevent said pixel ship from exploding.
For seven years, I have played Eve online. It had its ups and it had its downs. Most times, my "online friends" are what brought me back to the game.
Since Dominion, I have had this huge feeling that CCP has bled much of the fun out of the game and have tipped the balance to where I can't find the motivation to log on. This is not due to no new content, but more due to the fact that the old content was getting hammerf*cked by idiot decisions to attempt to make the game more fun. And when the community railed against theses asinine decisions, CCP kept on trucking like the juggernaut it has become. Indifferent to the vision it had long ago and continued to ride on the coat-tails of its community.
7 years, 2 accounts. I still talk to my "online friends" as they are not "online" friends anymore but friends. Thanks CCP for that. I however must say goodbye to you. My brand new PS3 with assorted games, starcraft 2, and the upcoming Diablo 3 will now compete for my precious game time. I can't waste it waiting for my guns to cycle or the system to load etc.
As stated here before, I love Eve but that love is not unconditional. You have not met my conditions for many months. Too long you have promised the world and yet offered the complete opposite and expect me to choke it down.
When you listen to the community and fix the game and all the associated half releases, maybe then I will come back. But the ship has already left the station and you missed that opportunity.
Good luck!
