I honestly don't see what everyone is so upset about with regards to this document. I read the entire thing and while I might disagree with some of the opinions within, I realize they're just that, opinions. I actually rather enjoyed reading it and getting some inside info (if it's real) on some CCP employees thoughts about MT. ~Gnosis~ |

If you don't see me... all my accounts with remaining subscription time are likely banned for challenging CCP to maintain the game I pay them for...

Here's how it is: you are not allowed to break my EVE just because you suck at it. Hopefully this was clear enough. ... If you like choice please support this topic in the Assembly Hall. Thanks.

Come on people!
Support CCP!
We want MT everywhere.
Just agree and nod to CCP, Let them have their way.
Then we get to laugh at them later, while they find new jobs.
The problem with that statement is that this sort of MT sale is probably good for the game overall. Every game that goes MT ends up doing much better than subscription, look at what it did for LOTRO and DDO; those games are steaming piles and people dump embarising amounts of cash out at their stores.
If you want to object to MT, don't do it by trying to convince people that MT is bad from a business sense, because it inst. Convince them that it is bad from some sort of moral/ethical sense.
CCP devs wont be looking for new jobs, they will be trying to avoid paper cuts while they roll around in their giant piles of money because neckbeards think that a $70 monocle is the space-equivalent of louis vuitton.

This is quite possibly one of the dumbest things I have read ever on Eve-O forums so good on you sir! You are not penalized in game because someone else has a less successful career. You are penalized in game because you PLAY THE GAME LESS than someone else. You have a choice just like the other guy. Cut your hours back, tell your customers or your boss that you value your time more than you value their money and play Eve Online if you want to be the big cheese here.
Otherwise, quit whining about how you can't extend your income influence further into the game than you already can with PLEX. Sheesh... morons....

Given the recent AUR prices, it is MORE than "opinion".
For all those Comparing Goblins/Dwarfs/Orcs/Mage games with Eve/scifi/spaceships/rayguns.
Two VERY DIFFERENT GENRES of game and audience.
SCIFI is niche, always has been, always will be.
Vampires/Orcs/Dwarfs Always POPULAR.
SCI FI = LOW AUDIENCE FANTASY = HUGE MASS APPEAL
Do not compare the two.

Originally by: Landlady CCP devs [...] roll[ing] around in their giant piles of money
you haven't read the bulletin, have you?
take a look at page 10 of the PDF before coming back
shamelessly quoting myself:
Originally by: Florestan Bronstein Edited by: Florestan Bronstein on 23/06/2011 12:46:12
The average CCP employee has moved to a small, rocky island to work for below-average wages.
What does he think about these changes and why does CCP have to convince him with this bulletin?
some selected metrics from the employee satisfaction survey:
topic: 2009, 2010, 2011 (perfect score is 5) Employee Satisfaction: 4.2, 4.2, 4.1 Employee Loyalty: 4.7, 4.5, 4.4 Morale and Cooperation: 4.1, 4.1, 3.9 Management - CEO: 4.6, 4.4, 4.4 Management - Executive Board: 4.0, 3.7, 3.7 Company Vision and Business Goals: 4.1, 4.1, 3.9
question: 2010, 2011 "Professional development is well organized within CCP.": 3.1, 2.9 "I feel that my pay is in line with the position that I occupy.": 3.2, 3.1 "Communication with other offices is good.": 3.3, 3.1 "CCP's salary policy is fair.": 3.3, 3.2
I call bull**** on everyone claiming that CCP's employees in general are "out of touch" - they see very clearly what's going on and could be our best allies. If you don't care what game you are working on you would be stupid to hire with CCP.
The problem is that it is very easy for management to say "we just cannot pay you a competitive wage unless we increase revenue with MTs".
this picture matches very well with the information on glassdoor.
People like Soundwave are no "devs" - they're management.

Originally by: Nirnaeth Ornoediad A major problem with purchasing in-game items with real money is that it breaks a fundamental value proposition of EVE: the sandbox. One of the points of EVE is to have a player-driven economy. That means we get the raw materials, refine them, make stuff, and sell it. If players can purchase ships, modules, ammo, whatever, it effectively makes the industrial side of EVE far less valuable. Instead of industrialists competing amongst themselves, they will--quite literally--be competing against the real-world economic power of the playerbase. This is different than PLEX, which only affects the cashflow within EVE (it doesn't actually add to the cash supply, and thus doesn't even affect the value of money aside from the miniscule number of PLEX destroyed).
I understand that CCP needs to seek additional revenue streams to grow as a business, and micro-transactions are a reasonable one. Paying for convenience--more than 50 fittings, more than 3 toons on the same account, more than 500 bookmarks, etc.--makes sense, in that they affect player-game interaction, and not player-player interaction.
Theoretically, if the number of items sold for real-life money were limited, supply/demand would kick in and in-game industrialists wouldn't be impacted that badly. The problem is that once the real-world revenue stream is turned on, it's very hard not to turn it on full blast. CCP will be unwilling, I think, to impose quotas on such sales (sorry, only 100 faction battleships this month).
CCP has managed to make a game with several hundred thousand loyal accounts: a nice, consistent ~$50M USD/year revenue stream. Short of trivial games--such as Farmville--I can't think of any serious game that has survived on micro-transactions. Just as Salesforce.com, SuccessFactors, and other software companies have figured out, you need a recurring revenue stream in software (even Larry Ellison points out that Oracle gets 18-22% of its revenue from maintenance). Micro-transactions have the possibility of significantly reducing this revenue stream, especially in the mid- to long-term. CCP risks seeing a short-term spike in revenue, getting excited, moving to even more drastic effects, and then seeing the proverbial floor drop.
Just my 2 ISK. Or Aurum, or whatever.
You forgot that we are ALREADY paying CCP to PLAY this game, wich makes us all equal regarding stuff we can get.

Yes for a while, UNTIL PLEX dry up. then their ISK BUYS NOTHING.
Think of it succeeding.
People buy PLEX for ISK, get AURUM got game change items
WIN WIN FUN FUN..
PLEX dries up, people get tired of paying, or the plex input rate matches the REAL PEOPLES ECONOMY. Or they start to use a tighter budget and spend less.
Nullsecers (always the first to whine), or hardcore players with lots of isk, COMPLAIN they cannot buy PLEX with ISK, PLEX prices RISE. No stockpiles, just the new input flow mostly.
They have to buy new PLEX to WIN!..
That is when the REALITY BREAKS INTO THEIR MIND. OMG ITS A PAY TO WIN GAME.
That is when it affects them..
GAME OVER:
