It is authentic so far by aligning with CCP's actions.
Their actions have been in line with this document so far.
Actions speak louder than words, so far it is real.

The Disclaimer on page 1 is quite interesting. If these are private opinions of employees then any intellectual property clauses in contracts are void ... more importantly, the responsible director is an arse hat.

CCP hasnt denied it in 10 pages, and something like this, if easily fake, would be denied by CCP quickly.

For those that missed the editor's post in the unedited full version of the pdf:
"However, as a subscription based golden goose, EVE
needs to incorporate the virtual goods sales model to allow for further
revenue û revenue to fund our other titles, revenue for its developer: you."
The sale pitch internally is.. "EVE has to subsidize the costs of the other games otherwise we can't pay your salary, trusted developer."
I'm a realist but let's face it. MT is just a vehicle to fund development of other titles.

Let's not forget this point..
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1534552&page=4#101
If you happen to be economically challenged or just donÆt trust the PlayStation Network with your credit card details, you can trade ISK with other players for some real money currency, just like you can with PLEX today. You can also do the opposite and exchange purchased realmoney currency for ISK, too.
Both work for us as long as money is being spent.
In reading that they want to complete the money life cycle and allow us to take currency OUT of the game?
That is their way to gain acceptance..
However the gameplay impacting purchases are a sickening.
Basically, ENTROPIA but allowing money to flow out?
Allowing money to flow out would put them under various nations banking and gambling laws. Not going to happen. It's just a lazily worded paragraph. I think they mean buying PLEX or equivalent with real money in DUST.
Unless CCP are gona apply for Icelandic Bank status :)
PayPal became a bank in Luxembourg so the standard isnt high these days.
I know you're being tongue in cheek, but in case anyone is thinking this is a possibility - there are miles between what this would entail v. what Paypal does. And paypal is in compliance (to the best of my knowledge. I know they have programs to this effect) with all the annoying U.S. banking laws (Bank Secrecy Act, Patriot Act, etc). For CCP to comply with those would be unimaginable. And that's just one country.
And that's not even getting started on the gambling laws. . .
Plus, MMO money being 'virtual currency' has long shielded MMO's from litigation for, say, a game glitch or unjust banning causing a player harm. Turning into an ISK/cash two way exchange would shatter that.
It's just not going to happen.

How about this, from the section talking about microtransactions in Eve:
Quote:
Not all virtual purchases will focus on customization: some will simply be new items, ammunition, ships, etc. that can be purchased outright.

Put down the propaganda machine and take a course in logic.
If I was working for other MMOs' PR dep. I'd make a PDF like this too. "Authentic so far" doesn't cut it.

I don't know what to think of all this.
To be fair, players ALREADY CAN buy isk, using the plex system. A player with money to spend in eve can get any amount of isk he wants. Noone seems very concerned about it.
I think the question for me is: the instant I'm required to pay more money besides my 2 subscriptions to be competetive in eve, the game died for me.
So. Preemptive measures:
1. switched my long term subscriptions to 1 month recurring.
2. scouting for new long term, player-run market, sci fi MMOs (Perpetuum is not bad and has lots of room to grow; Black Prophecy maybe; SWTOR will try it for sure but I doubt it will keep my brain as exercised as Eve does.
3. be sad.

But it isn't going to tie you down and **** you. Life - and Eve - will likely go on.
Just without me.
Or you, most likely.
Or Hesp, to be fair.

Well, check this out said by The Mittani LOL
<originally by Seelene in its blog>
****
Our never boring CSM Chairman, The Mittani, had this to day about it all:
"I think the island culture has to do with it. It's very easy to develop a consensus about how the world works when you're in a rinky-dink town like Reykjavik (which is lovely, but it's ******* tiny) and you drink with/hang out with/bump into your coworkers all the goddamned time.
Iceland also has a very charming culture of Just Not Giving A **** About Trivial ****. 'Trivial ****' in the Icelandic view seems to include smashing glasses in the street, ****ing on walls like you just don't care in front of other people, parking your car in a way which blocks traffic/parking your car on a sidewalk, and just doing basically whatever the **** you feel like because you're on an island full of ****** supermodels and there's nothing to do but drink, ****, do drugs and party.
It's a great island, but there's a serious cultural disconnect between Reyk and the rest of reality."
Seems what is happening here har har har

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.

Disclaimer that those are only the personal opinoins of the company. Who the hell do you think makes up the company? Is it some robot that randomly selects what to do or is it the developers who pitch their "great ideals" to the managers on how to make the game better (read: profitable and draw more money). These are the personal opinions of the CCPers but they are the opinions being pushed the hardest and suprisingly implemented in the game.

I'm not so sure that they would be quick to deny a fake.
Think how much we jump upon anything CCP says and tear it to shreds, sometimes deservingly, sometimes not.
If I were them, I'd want to be very careful about how to approach responding to this; even if it's a fake, most of us here believe it's real at least to a small degree. That means a crapload of planning, drafts and redrafts to ensure that nothing can be taken the wrong way, to ensure that the reply doesn't create even more rage, and so on.

I wanted to post this as someone asked. Meta data from the document shows some hard work went into its creation.
It was initially created 4/14/11 at 12:56 in Adobe InDesign 7.0. It had 414 revision saves. The last main save was 5/20/11 at 15:47 using Adobe InDesign 7.0. No Author information.
interesting, gotta love the PDF/A standard and metadata.
*conspiracy theory - the author, when faking this, changed her system date
They only removed somenames and personal data from the file, i have the original and it doesnt change that much tbh.

BUT, that is CCP Soundwave talking liberally in a company news letter. Even the way it is structured, it sounds like he has some fighting internally to do to even get to bring it in front of us. I really don't care what they do with dust and wod, and outside of showing their hand of viewing us as numbers they can use and abuse more than customers, there is nothing that revealing in that document.

I'll be honest, I'm all for Microtransactions in Eve, just (for lack of a better quote) "never go full r*tard" about it...

A denial would have to come from someone pretty high up in the food chain and posted here. A simple denial by some CSM would be laughed at since they repeatedly said before they don't know what the developers are thinking.

8 accounts canceled, around two weeks of time left on most to see how much CCP can backpeddal/damage control before I biomass the lot of my characters.
Thanks to whomever leaked this, the community has a right to know when it's going to get ****ed. See you all in the next mmo worth playing (not WoW).
