Mehrdad Kor-Azor Amarr Iure Divino	Posted - 2011.06.22 22:47:00 - [1] There's a huge problem with the idea of microtransactions in any MMO, especially one with a subscription fee. The problem - it betrays the idea of a MMORPG as a whole. An RPG's purpose is to allow a person to become as great and awesome as he can, regardless of who he is in real life. I can be anyone I want to be. Even if you aren't a "Roleplayer", you still participate in that basic part of an RPG. In an MMORPG, you develop that person through hard work and time spent in the virtual world. The only real-life constraint is time, and that's even alleviated by EVE's awesome real-time skill training system. If CCP does indeed continue down this path, then the MMORPG status of EVE will be a lie. Sure, there are lots of people. But now the idea of being a whole new person is being thrown out. Your in-game character is just an extension of who you are in real life. If you're a person who can afford these added costs, you can do anything in the microtransaction model. However, this inevitably cheats those who do not want to invest anything besides time. If non-vanity microtransactions make a rise in EVE, it will be more about who has the most free cash, and not about who really learns and puts time into the game. Also, the argument that PLEX from in-game -> AURUM makes this legitimate is bogus, seeing as the PLEX comes from a GTC bought in real money anyway. However, we can't react to this junk by all ragequitting at the earliest mention of mass-implementation of microtransactions. If the OP's quotes from the article in question are correct, that's what the people pushing the microtransactions want. This game is still fun. This latest expansion hasn't killed it, although I do miss spinning my ship in station... Really, what we need to do is make it clear that the EVE playerbase is still committed to the old EVE, even if a majority of CCP developers and business consultants are not. Just wait and be ready to give CCP feedback on this junk, and let them know that we will not stand an unfair game advantage from microtransactions.

That there shows that CCP clearly sees the EVE community as a way to get money, not as a loyal customer base that should be respected.

Companies need to treat their customers well and not squeeze them for all they're worth. Otherwise those customers leave. Unless they've given us EVE mind-altering drugs that keep us addicted to this.....

If Soundwave is still in the higher echelons, then we know where they're heading. I would be surprised if anyone gets fired. This is part of CCP's core goal right now, you would have to remove all of management and reorganize the company completely to purge this. I'm thinking that would be nice if not totally feasible....

Mehrdad Kor-Azor Amarr Iure Divino	Posted - 2011.06.24 00:41:00 - [19] Originally by: CCP Pann Hi, everyone Some of you who have been around for a while may remember me. I was the original community manager for EVE. These days, I oversee the PR and Community teams. While most of what I do happens behind the curtains, I am still aware of whatÆs going on front and center. I would be lying if I said that whatÆs happening now didnÆt make me sad, but IÆm not here to ask for your sympathy. To be perfectly honest, IÆm here to buy time while we try to sort things out. No sense in lying about it so I'll call a spade a spade. ItÆs clear that many of you are <understatement alert> angry </alert>. ThereÆs a lot happening, things are changing quickly and we havenÆt been as forthcoming as you were used to in the past. IÆm willing to step out front and take a lot of heat for that since I was the one who made the decision to hold off on responding for a while to see if things cooled down once the new wore off. I was wrong to do that and I apologize. We should have said something much sooner. We should have done more to address your concerns and be forthcoming, even if we werenÆt going to be able to immediately give you all of the answers you were looking for or the answer your questions in ways that will instantly turn those frowns upside down. To be even more candid, I cannot answer all of your questions, either, but I am working with the people who can to start getting those answers for you. Again, I know weÆre doing this past the expiration date of your patience but I hope youÆll bear with me. I know that, with very few exceptions, most of you donÆt know me from Adam. I havenÆt earned your trust or respect; therefore I have no right to ask anything of you û but I am going to try, anyway. Can I please count on at least some of you to help bring the pitchforks and torches down a few notches? Like I said, I wonÆt be able to answer all of your questions tonight, but I promise weÆll start getting some info out tomorrow. As I see it, the chief complaint is regarding the high cost of goods in the Nobel Market. Second, many people are unhappy about the CaptainÆs Quarters. Third, there are some performance issues with Incarna. I would appreciate it if you would confirm my observations or tell me what IÆm missing, but I do ask that you do it in a productive way. I will remove posts without prejudice if they are counterproductive to the conversation I hope to have with you. If youÆve read this much, thanks for staying with me. If you have something to say, IÆd like very much to hear it. Humbly yours, ~P~ Let's hope we get a good, straightforward, and honest response sometime soon.
