I am not a hard core gamer. I have two accounts, but I do not spend hours every week to play.
Been very happy with the game, the endless exploring and the feeling that I can never master all aspects of the game. WONDERFUL and beats all other MMOs any day!
Until today, when I login with my second account and realise that the rigs I bought for my Hulk (approximately 200.000.000 ISK) are useless.
I could easily have overlooked this if I could remove the rigs and get my hard earned ISK back.
But sadly this is not the case and in my opinion someone stole 200.000.000 ISK from me. Not another player, that would be part of the game, but CCP who possibly could point to some section in the EULA to defend this.
You should really think things through and consider the consequences for those affected by the changes you make. I bought those rigs to increase cargo hold. Yes, those modules still do the same job, but they are working with different figures. 2-300 m3 is not worth 200 MISK.
I do understand your aim to make mining more of an art, but I think it was executed with a lack of respect.
It may seem ridiculous to take something virtual this serious. But in the end it is time and money we are talking about, and that is important and should be respected.
I will give this some serious thought before I decide wether to quit this game or forgive and forget.
Hopefully it is enough just to write some of the heat off and send this to you so you at least can be aware how your decision affected me. |

Wow...insightful comments. Thanks!
I now understand that when you buy rigs you should always bear in mind that CCP might make a change that renders your purchase useless.
I now understand that I was an idiot to fit for max cargo hold for solo mining and not realising that CCP would make changes this way in the future. I see it now, reason and logic in action.
I also understand that 200 million ISK is not much to anyone, the hours it would take me to make them is nothing, hence I understand that EVE is not for casual gamers. |

Won't be, cancelled my second account used for mining and will explore something else. |

Didn't say I was quitting the game, only cancelled my second account.
Crybaby? Well, perhaps now when I have settled down I can realise I was a bit of a drama queen.
I am just surprised that stats on an item can be changed just like that, never heard of it.
I was also surprised that everyone was fine with this and beat down on what I thought, at the time, was a fair complaint.
It is not like I whine about station walking and then when I finally get it I whine about what is wrong with it...
But the mining days are over and I have put this in the "lessons learned"-archive. |
