People have accepted PLEX for ISK/AUR, they have accepted reluctently VANITY items.
What they will NOT accept is game changing PAID items.
There is a line that not even VALVE is crossing.

Originally by: Verone I'll wait to see what gets fixed, rolled out, polished and repaired in the coming patches before I resort to throwing my toys around.
The problem with that as I see it is these sort of problems are not technical mishaps or silly programming blunders. Breaking gatejumps in a new patch is both lol worthy and rage inducing, but it's also something that a reasonable person could understand to be entirely unintentional. Give them some time to work it out sure. But the problems that we've been seeing recently aren't of that type, they're changes in business strategy, or the result of CCP asking for and then actively ignoring user input.
I agree with you about MTs, I'm not interested myself, even if they were only a dollar each. But the whole "vanity items only" thing was never a part of CCPs original song and dance. That only came about after a large to-do about MTs in the first place, and I fully expect that if they had been left to their own devices that we would now be seeing the same type of MT store that we have now, but with all types of other non-vanity "convenience" itmes in it. CCP desperately wants all kinds of MT, and it's only pressure back from the community that keeps them from slowly invading every single aspect of gameplay. If the community stops pushing and just waits to see then you can expect to see them creeping back over the "vanity only" line as soon as they think they can get away with it, and they will be at the same insane prices we see now because that's what they feel is appropriate.
It's a similar thing with CQ, of course it will get patched and tweaked, and in the next year we most likely will see the other 3 racial CQs. But what we have now was deemed a strong enough user experience for a release. From a technical standpoint it's not terrible, there are some minor issues that are to be expected with such a new release. If we sit back and just watch and see they can look at their metrics and say "Great success! We'll do more of this." Much in the same way that they look back on Apocrypha and all of the technical debt that accumulated during that release and say it was one of the buggiest worst expansions ever, even tho for most of the player base Apocrypha has been one of the best expansions in recent history.
Spot on and well said.

Originally by: Kronir The bottom-line is that change is in the wind. And the current iteration of Incarna along with the public comments of CCP show which way the wind is going to be blowing.
The document may well be a 'debate'...but the decission has already been made. If it hadn't already been made - we wouldn't be where we are today.
And this is the way the wind is blowing...

It's not a troll in the slightest. I have more money than you in real life, but less time than most of you because I have a higher powered job. Is it fair that I should be penalised by NOT having things in game just because you have a less successful career?

they can not ignore this i mean, they cannot ignore the fact that alot of old players are angry.

In any case this framing of the problem eliminates the "No MT" option
In the doc there's no one arguing against MT completely, no "against" internal current that we are let to see.
In line of principle I am not against MT either, if people want to waste money on a monocle why not. It's less pressure at converting PLEXes into staying ISK that pollutes the economy from inside. It's a PLEX sink, it's good.
Therefore as wannabe economist myself I support the pamphlet economist in a moderate support for purely vanity items.

MAKE NO MISTAKE
When a new player joins, they find EVE HARD. If they have a Cash door to make it easier, NEW PLAYERS WILL OPEN THAT DOOR.
MAKE NO MISTAKE.
It WILL change the game.
If they do this, the only way to end it is to COME DOWN HARD (and I mean the entire UNIVERSE) on that PLAYER who uses CASH BONUSES.
Make them PAY MORE AND MORE AND MORE, until they have NO MONEY LEFT.

Originally by: General Windypops I actually don't know what the hell all the fuss is about. Do you honestly NOT expect CCP to look at how best to maximise profit?
You're all insanely naive if so. Not one thing in that document was shocking or surprising. Except for some of the page design.
To maximize profit CCP would have to retain old customers while gaining new ones.
While it might not be shocking it is a violation of what was promised to the fanbase.
I can tell by your avatar and writing style that you are much more intelligent and suave than the rest of us. So for example when your girl cheats on you you can just get a new one because you are so all that. for normal sewer dwellers like us tho it still hurts :(

So, I'd say that leaves CCP up that proverbial body of water made of excriment without a means of propulsion.
Drag out the EVE:TV gear. Wheel in Hilmar. $60 monacle and the rest of this carp demands the CEO do this. He appologises. He promises, to the camera, this will not happen again, even if EVE has to go to one expansion a year it will not happen again. No more Dominions, Tyranis's, Incursions (which wasn't that bad, no Apoth but hey) or Incarna's. Good stuff from here on in. That is uploaded to YouTube, twitter messages & forum posts ensue. A mail is sent out giving a 5 day grace period login to all accounts so that those who quit can come back and see if it really is fixed. Dev's pull the mother of all nighters and Monday (or Tuesday) Incarna 1.0.1 is released that fixes this mess.

As much as we all want to see a response by CCP to this... I have a feeling that most of us won't like it in the end anyway.
At first I really was p'OD and wanted to see what CCP was going to say. After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that what is in that document is going to happen - no matter what.
Yeah, CCP might come out and say stuff like "we are sorry for not letting you in on development; this is only a speculative document; we promise not to sell game changing items for $$$; etc."
Yet, I can just see 3 months from now, CCP will forget all their apologies and implement their plan anyway, in hopes that we will come around. As much as I don't want this to happen, it probably will.

What I find Ironic is that this feature is TARGETED at those WITH LOTS OF CASH (be it ISK or real money), and that means BIG CORPS and LOYAL YEARLY CUSTOMERS.
Ironic is, the very people they are hoping to FLEECE, are going to LEAVE over this exact feature.
Makes NO SENSE their TARGET AUDIENCE.
The only target customer it makes sense to is the NEW CUSTOMER, which will NOT STAY anyway (especially if we have our way with them)

Dumbest thing I heard. First a baseless assumption about me. Then an assumptions that you should get treated differently then me becuase "you are richer and got a more powerful job in RL and not the same time for games that I have".
As I said, get your head out of you ass :) you are clearly disconnected to what the issue is about, and you somehow think you are better then others becuse you "got a fansy job" as is entitld to different treatment. :P

If you are going to make statements like this at least back them up with how much 'more money' you have. Many players in EVE online make well over $100,000 USD / Year.
The way the skill system works means that regardless of how much in-game playing time one has you remain competitive so long as you remain subscribed. I've always liked that about EVE since I didn't have a lot of time to play (I often spent weeks without logging in other than to change a skill).
With PLEX for ISK one could buy up any ship wanted quickly. So, the way the game was designed prior to this patch have kept things balanced from the perspective of someone who "plays real life harder" than the game.
My issue with EVE Online now is twofold: First, I no longer want to be associated with the game. CCP's idea of what "micro-transactions" is nowhere near what mine would be. I actually have no issues with RMT as long as they remain in the realm of "micro-transactions" as such. I would rather see rare and hard to get items going to people who worked in the game to get those rare and hard to get items. But, in an environment like EVE, the occasional thing like a monocle is 'alright' by me.
The problem is the pricing of such items. The pricing has made the items a joke. This, in turn, makes the game itself a joke. This in turn makes anyone who plays a joke of a game...
The other major issue I have with the patch is the non-standard implementation of movement inside of stations. I hate that I cannot run. And I hate that WASD does not do what I expect it to do based on the de-facto standard of movement in FPS and other MMOs. I could learn and adapt... yes.. but, frankly, I don't want to.
If they do not understand basic gameplay like this then I want nothing to do with the game. When they remove the option of not loading CQ then everyone will have to waste extra time WALKING back and forth. It's silly. But, if they keep the option to not load CQ and default to the hangar where one has the option to disembark then that would be better in my view.
Too many straws broke the camel's back.

"Not stay anyway" is part of the virus that invaded CCPs mind.
Remember they were kinda shocked to discover their retention/churn rate of 7 months.
There were elements of them focusing in on this time period rather then trying to extend it.

Bolded part changed to show just how much of an idiot you are. By those exact same claims. You should gripe about every single online video game you play. You should make that argument for halo or call of doody, or whatever else you play because if that is your argument, then every single video game should fit that bill.
"Is it fair that you beat ff13 before I did becuase you only work 5 ours a day and I work 9?"
That is life suck it up and deal with it. I have a 9-6 job and I still find time for friends/games. I don't have near as much isk as my corp mates, but I dont care. I really don't. It doesn't mean I will buy a bunch of plex to get some ships and a few monocles to resell. (Lol at people reselling monocles because it would make more sense to just sell the plex. Better established market = better turnover.)

I say we play CCP's game their way. Batter up!
