Dear CCP.
I just canceled my subscription. Because I am unhappy and because I want to show my support for everyone else who thinks alike.
Just to clear things up a little, I am not unsubbing for Incarna. Not for the (still) pointless ability to walk in stations, not for loss of usability (drag 'n drop, double click), not for the vanitiy item shop or it's prices.
I am unsubing because I am unhappy. Unhappy with the communication between CCP and the player base. Your player base. It feels like a monologue at times and it went downhill even in the last few month. Ask us. Speek to us. Let us know. Give us time and give yourself time to adjust to certain ideas.
I also really don't like the way you seem to be looking down on us sometimes. I feel offended by statements that were made and didn't hold true. How can I trust you with what you're saying now, when tomorrow you're just like "what do I care about my chatter from yesterday?!". Maybe you are honest after all. But I feel like I have to make sure that the ones who replace eventually will be, too. This is a lesson to be taught.
I also feel offended -although not directly affected- by your plans to charge 3rd party devs for PI licenses. These guys out there should be paid because they are doing your job. Programs like Evemon and EFT are not only a substantial part of EVE's gameplay but I feel like they are a necessity to even be able to play EVE in an enjoyable way. I know, I know, plans have been changed already ans stuff. Had to bring it up though.
Then there is your choice to roll out expansion after expansion (which isn't a bad thing for itself, don't get me wrong) without fixing bugs and issues that affect gameplay for many player a lot more then walking in a room all by yourself is. First fix the game, then add content please.
And last but not least I an very unhappy with your reception of how things are going lately. Seems to be very much off. Your last devblog by Arnar Hrafn Gylfason shows that very clearly, it misses the point the community has been making completely (OK, misses like...70-80%ish).
I paid just a couple of days ago for three month. Consider that the grace period in which I will consider resubbing based on how go on, CCP. And how you deal with us.
I hope for the best. But then again hope is something humans cling to, when they can't face reality. Show me I'm wrong. Please.
All that stands of course without mentioning what a great game EVE is nonetheless. So I would say: Not all is lost, yet.
a fellow EVE player
PS: got a little longer then intended, but....oh well.
