Imagine for a moment the scope of time in our lives. We live 60 seconds a minute, 60 minutes an hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 4 weeks a month, and 12 months a year. We live hard. We plan for the future and avoid the mistakes of our past. And yet, the most memorable and most influential moments of our lives take place in just a small matter of minutes. We donÆt know when those moments will occur. We donÆt even realize how short those moments really were. But when we recall those moments they were grand, life altering, good and bad.
This is a recount of events, and a toast to the wonderful person known as CCP Zinfandel.
(It's rather long, but those interested can find it at the link below)
Thank you CCP Zinfandel <3 tr33hugger |

Yeah, my orgasms feel just like the same. I sometimes have the feeling they take hours when it was just a few seconds. You can time that moment though, so its not entirely suprisind when they happen.

In light of the current drama I feel that this is as good of a time as any for a bump...
I want you to know that I too, like many of you, am a passenger on this hate train to the promise land. However, regardless of how entertaining and hilarious this drama may be, I think it is important to remember that there are real people behind these currently vilified names. Lets not go too far with the finger pointing and lets not get too bent out of shape. Remember, thus far we only know one side of the story. It's cool to voice our opinions, just keep in mind that we don't know what is fact, what is fiction, and to what extent situation extends.
That being said, LOLOLOLOL @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4YHvtEJgBc&feature=youtu.be

Originally by: Kristoffer Touborg I think they're brilliant, but our players don't. WeÆre going to face an uphill struggle, and the reason many of us never talk about this publically is that weÆd be burned at the stake by the players.
Burned at the stake indeed.
Fact enough for me, vilification or not.

The mans past does not change the fact that his image is one of a pandering hack who has no tangible connection to those he thinks he represents.

My favourite thing about this whole fiasco is how revealing it is. So far I've only seen dev responses to compliments, locking of threads and the whole moving threads to completely random sections of the forums that are completely irrelevant (i.e. the Door thread & a guy giving away his stuff being moved to SELL ORDERS, wtf). I actually wanted to like CCP, I was vaguely confident about Incarna and CQ and even the NEX. But now I'm just generally disappointed by your lack of response to anything but slimey, brown-nosing comments.

Edited by: Morgan Polaris on 23/06/2011 22:08:36 I love him for providing these awesome quotes, heralding in the greatest comedy since the origin of comedy. Well, at least since Incarna came out and people saw the MT prices anyway (after they got bored with it within a few minutes, since it's really no content at all).
Yeah, what Lirael said.

Burned at the stake: A type of cruel and unusual punishment enacted for witchcraft and, or, heresy. Both are crimes to only those who have illogical and fanatical beliefs.
Have you stopped to think that perhaps the community is indeed so illogical and indeed so fanatical that CCP is well aware of the communities suspected reactions that it is truly an uphill struggle for them to have an open, public, and reasonable discussion regarding the future of RMT? I'm not saying that what CCP has been done is right, but it does take two sides for a conflict to occur.
If anything, the community's witch-hunt has proven CCP Soundwave correct. They had good reason to be fearful. Its unfortunate that it happened this way.
I am not pandering to CCP nor am I trying to be the good son - check out my blog, it's full of illogical fallacies and emo rage aimed at CCP. I too am disappointed.
I am just saying that perhaps we've jumped to conclusions and that in all likeliness we don't know the full story. tr33hugger |

We are their paying customers. We keep them employed. They'd better respect that. The whole idea that they had to do the slow implementation of MTs even though we have repeatedly said we don't want it just embodies the lack of respect for the customers.
And yes, burning at the stake is a viable option, because CCP Soundwave has promoted ideas that are heretical for the EVE community. Some things just don't work in a sandbox, and game-altering microtransactions are one of those things. It subverts the industrial base of the game, and once they go, it's all over.

I personally will never wish any man to be burned at the stake for something as personal as an opinion.
The developers at CCP are still people that created EVE as we know it and it is and has been a great game for many years now with no equal.
However CCP has grown so large it decided to develop more than 1 game, and in that, too much focus and money has been shifted away from EVE leading to this situation. I can only hope that Devs at CCP will understand that if they continue in this manner a lot of players will start to feel disconnected. Which will only cause the community to break down, and once that happens, the game we all love will disappear. People are affraid of this and want to point the blame at a single person.
Though I doubt anyone will truely burn CCP soundwave at the stake, people need to stop making such threats to the man, even if he is the face of the 'undesired direction' that eve is headed towards. --------------------------------------------- Somewhere beyond happyness and sadness, I need to calculate what creates my own madness o/ |

Regarding those speaking on behalf of the entire community... Please stop. I am a fan of the micro-transactions and so are many other people. I just think that the way CCP is currently going about it wrong. For example: Aurum is fine, but I would also like an option to buy an item outright with my credit card and not have to go through the hassle of currency conversions and the unfortunate situation of being left with excess Aurum. The prices are also currently about 200% above what I would consider fair.
Also, note that the sell of weapons, ships, etc via the internal newsletter is mostly pertaining to Dust 514 content, not EVE. Furthermore, we've already temporarily settled the issue of selling specially skinned, yet statistically no different, ships via Aurum. Selling faction standings isn't a big deal - who actually wants to grind?
That being said, the selling of ammo or any new combat item is potentially a problem. This is where vanity ends and a possible statistical advantage comes into play. But then again, such items will be for sale via ISK - likely at an insane price. Not many people are willing to lose what they fly now. I imagine many of these new items, if they do offer a statistical advantage, will either be perma-docked or on billion ISK PvE machines.
If you think logically, the sky is actually not falling and it is actually a beautiful day! tr33hugger |

It's meant figuratively, sir.

Yes, selling faction standings is a big deal. Just off of the top of my head, what happens to datacores and the production chain?

There's already a precedent for real-money items being protected from destruction. If they were destroyed - or particularly had a chance to drop - when the pilot was podkilled, I'd have not the slightest concern about vanity items. I don't have a lot of concern about purely-vanity items even now. What I do worry about is the lead designer wanting more game-changing items, including faction standings as I point out above, to be available for cash.
