A year ago today, this was posted by CCP:
Doesn't it make you sick when you get lied to?

FREE HELICITY!!
Replace CCP management before the game totally dies to absolute stupidity.
Soon all kill boards, TS and Vent servers, all fan sites and everything else will have to shut down or pay $99 to CCP for the pleasure of being ****ed over.

And just to make sure this issue is not swept under the table: Bump!
Oh it can't be swept away now... they verified the memo.
It's hit the net, they are in full bore firestorm with a spritzer bottle of gas trouble
CCP are jealous of SOE, they too want to have their NGE and dead games.

This is how it's going to probably go down:
CCP will placate the rioting masses and say MT will only ever be for vanity items. Much spin and weasel-words will be used.
CCP will compartmentalize more things in EVE development so leaks and the like will be less likely to happen. Development of MT for non vanity items will continue, but in near secrecy. To quote CCP manifest: "Arum is here to stay".
CCP will go back to working on their other two games and we will get more weaksauce mini patches that don't really address anything relevant to what the players have been asking for, while the MT machine starts to build momentum.
Next year when DUST is released and does not draw the numbers CCP gambled on, they are going to turn on the MT for game altering items they have been working on all along, even though they said they would not. This could also happen sooner, they are hemorrhaging cash trying to juggle 3 games where only one is laying golden eggs.
This is exactly how it will go, the only difference is this time CCP will go bankrupt as they can't get any new capital. Apparently their discussions with with investors has gone badly and they are desperate.
White Wolf was bought by CCP for next to nothing, due to the WoD franchise being almost dead. CCP are hoping to create a new MMO that will explode to WoW size so they can cash out. That is also what Dust is for, they want to bring in console players and 'integrate' them with EVE. Depending on how many people are left to play EVE depends on whether Dust can succeed or not. Also CCP are extremely short sighted because everyone can see the console fps market is extremely crowded and dominated by COD. To fund these fun projects CCP have bankrupted themselves.
In other words CCP are stupid. Anyone still having any hope CCP won't kill the game is a fool who thinks they're going to get something out of standing up for CCP or just plain fanboy and we know they're as stupid as it gets.

I read the pdf thingy. It wasn't really that bad..One guy said he likes MT's, and that's where half the rage came from. It was the devil's advocate position. The rest was pretty mild...
Why don't we have posts from the other guy, where he said that MT's are bad if they go too far, and should be strictly limited to vanity items to avoid making the game die?
Keep in mind that the person saying in his opinion we should have standings & ammo & such in the MT shop. Is the lead developer/designer of this game. He also states that they're going to have to be sneaky about it because, we the player base, are in effect a bit dim.
Hell even Hilmar doesn't escape. We don't like it because we fear change. Erm... no. We don't like it because your busy driving something some of us have spent 8 years enjoy, doing free PR work for and generally being a community about (we're actually pretty good despite first apperances) is being driven in to the ground for no apparent reason other than "we can".
You are wrong. CCP have no money left because they've wasted it on Dust and WoD. No investor will go near them because they're useless and they are desperate. If they thought they could sell us not only items but access to regions they would.
