This is my "I Quit" post if CCP keeps going down the wrong path.
I quit. I've been playing this game off and on since 2006. I've been able to make many achievements, been apart of many projects in New Eden. Had my own Eve Business for a while which ran with great success until game changes came about. Tried to start it back up again, And more game changes came about. I found a great way to make isk, but alas more game changes. For the past year CCP has been pushing more and more ways to nerf how people earn isk in this game, And now they release the NeX store claming the rich folks of eve will be able to purchase the items there. First off, the prices are above reasonable. Second if CCP keeps taking out solid ways to earn income in this game, how long until the rich are poor? How long until the new players realize they have a pretty set path on how to play the game. Either play it CCP's way, or don't play it anymore. For a while Eve was a great hobby. I actually enjoyed making spreadsheets for my next big profiting venture. I enjoyed blowing it on PVP even though I did lose alot. I enjoyed giving away mass amounts of isk, ships, and whatever else just to see my fellow pilots happy. Once in a while I would get a few folks together to self destruct ships outside of stations to watch Local light up with tears. (Most recently self destructed a nightmare, rattlesnake, and a few BS's. Man that was fun).
I remember starting out running my first couple of missions. A big grin on my face when I finally had enough isk to buy my first incurses, my first tristan. I loved the tristan. It was a flying mech of doom. I remember taking out my first navitas to go mine veldspar, and sitting in the belts becoming jealous of those who could fly actual mining barges. Only to discover a year or two later how freaking boring mining was. Then spending the next few years running level 4 missions, and realizing once again how freaking boring that was. Then came the time of 0.0 exploration. Going out with my old corp and joining other fleets for some battles. The first time I'd try to take a Myrmidon down to 0.0 to help out, only to lose it to my own stupidity in a bubble camp (No scouting ftw). Then came the WH Exploration. Teaming up with a good friend to obtain our own slice of isk heaven. Logging on each day to see what our POS had killed, grinning as sometimes there was still a wreck outside the pos bubble to loot.
However those days are gone. The new direction that CCP seems to be taking has spoiled eve for me. The above resonable prices in the NeX store. Their responses to saying "But those prices will level out as the hype slows down!" Yet that static 68 real dollars would still remain. The community outraged, waiting to hear from CCP on the matter. Yet they sit there and ignore us. Sure, one of them said "we're working on a response". Where's said response? The side stepping of questions brought up. They've been blinded by a "Industry Standard" to milk as much money out of their playerbase as possible. Their promise not to add game changing items to their cash shop, undermined by a "leaked newsletter". I don't know who is more corrupt, the corp/alliance thieves, or CCP? Except I love the thieves. I love reading their stories about how they pulled off their big heist. But those days will be over. At least they will if CCP continues to go the wrong direction with this game.
Goodbye New Eden. It was a pleasure doing business with you.
