Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 01:55:00 - [1] once upon a time i actually spoke positively about this game, this was a time before your CEO told us the quality we pay for didn't matter to him cause he didn't make any money off it, this was before you added crippling lag and made supers unstoppable by anything other than another blob of supers, and to be honest even with all this just mentioned bull** i still liked the game. then you added PI and told us it was a feature and not a sadly pathetic attempt at making money off the farmville craze. then you gave us walking in stations after having a large part of the population tell you they would rather have the old broken fixed, (LAG, those features from all the other patches that didn't work that you promised to fix and then swept under the rug), you proceeded to ignore us once again and do your own thing, which wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't for the fact that you were doing your own thing with my ing money. and then your release incarna, and eve responds with glitches in every single game interface, and the best you can do is to raise your hand 2 days after your latest up and say my bad? and before you ask, yes i mad, i mad because you have successfully managed to nickle and dime the out of my former favorite online game. and then there is this little gem: Originally by:** CCP Pann ItÆs clear that many of you are <understatement alert> angry </alert>. just out of curiosity, how long did that take you guys to figure that out?
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 02:43:00 - [2] Originally by: Poetic Stanziel Originally by: Nedak Pather WHY DO YOU PEOPLE GIVE A ** ABOUT VANITY ITEMS? The problem isn't **ing vanity items, it's about the fact that NON-VANITY items could potentially be bought using micro-transactions. God damn people, get your priorities straight. QFT!! the second CCP make in-game non-vanity items available to buy in the new market i am canceling my last 3 toons and taking my money somewhere else.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 02:59:00 - [3] Originally by: Zangorus Originally by: Black Dranzer For the love of Christ Manifest, if you can't answer the big yellow question, at least say so openly so I don't have to keep refreshing the page. not empty quoting NOW ANSWER THE GOD DAMN QUESTION
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 03:06:00 - [4] Originally by: Cake Majestic CCP - please don't break our game. I love Eve, it's an amazing place. Some of the recent changes have been awesome, turrets for example, and the simple change of the way we leave our station. But please, please, don't break our game. Look at the community now. Broken and raging because of fear that they will lose what the love. Why would you go against that? It actually makes sense to keep your players, because Eve players will buy Dust, and Eve players will try WoD. Of course they will, they'll be curious. Just don't break our game. correction: eve players might have bought those games, but now given CCP's total disregard to any serious questions and the joking pointless responses by your PR dept. im removing both from my list of games to get, why would i force myself to indure more of ccp's failures? this is something you idiots need to think about before you do stupid GREEDY things like MT's, if you ** ppl off enough they not only stop using your product and cease to purchase it in the future, but far more importantly they go to all those gaming websites where you advertise and they tell everybody not to get it and link threads like this to show ppl what a bunch of underhanded shortsighted morons you really are when theres money concerned**
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 03:11:00 - [5] Originally by: Planetary Genocide Ooh, there is another point I want to make. It's been stated multiple times by Trebor and Seleene that the CSM was not consulted on things like the :$99: or the MT prices... what's up with that? They're the sodding CSM, isn't that something that you're supposed to, y'know, let them know about? why would they ask the csm? that would require PAYING them for their time, and the whole point behind this is to make CCP MORE money not spend mnore, also lets no forget that they didn't ask the CSM about MT's for a very specific reason, they knew they would laughed or more likely chased, caught, and threatened with a painful end for even speaking the word micro-transaction in reference to eve
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 05:56:00 - [6] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4YHvtEJgBc pretty apt portrayal of the current ** storm favorite quote so far "Of course we promised! We're a corporation our word isn't worth **!"
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 06:35:00 - [7] Originally by: CCP Pann 1) As I see it, the chief complaint is regarding the high cost of goods in the Noble Market. Second, many people are unhappy about the CaptainÆs Quarters. Third, there are some performance issues with Incarna. 2) I will remove posts without prejudice if they are counterproductive to the conversation I hope to have with you. ok 2 quick points before i call it a night before work: 1) if this is what you think the problem is there are currently 65+ pages of ppl telling you to go die in a fire due to the fact that you added MT's and all you see are the 2 pages of ppl complainging about prices, you're an idiot 2) go ahead censor this thread, you think its bad now just wait till you actually try and make ppl stop telling you how much they hate your latest failure, the last time you tried to gag a thread like this it wound up on 1 ezine for gamers, given the level of pure hated evidenced by this thread you can probly bet on every gaming ezine, magazine and website ppl can email will know about this 5 mins after you start censoring things, so yeah good luck with that threat bro, cuase if you're dumb enough to follow through on it, this **** storm may quite possibly get even more unpleasant for you then it already is and thats saying something.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies	Posted - 2011.06.24 20:00:00 - [8] Originally by: Krispy Dingo Have you forgotten that they are people, too, because all you see are walls of text? I have always seen, in the past, how the EVE community is more mature than in any other MMORPG out there, If you don't like the direction the game is taking, then it has ceased to be fun for you, and you have to wonder why you are wasting your money on it. 1) believe me us haters know they are ppl, they happen to be the ppl ruining the game, so yeah im gonna give them all the hell i can on this forum in the hopes that i make their day as miserable as mine was yesterday after i read their internal memo looking for anyway possible to squeeze another dime out of me 2) just out of curiosity have you ever actually "read" coad? 3) this seems to be what ppl are doing we'll just have to see what the damage is in a few weeks, but it doesnt look good, given the 2000+ character local riot moving between the trade hubs, them banning ppl in local isnt making them any friends either, kinda like macing a crowd all it does is **** them off.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies Imperial Directorate	Posted - 2011.06.24 22:32:00 - [9] all quotes are from this : http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=author&p=CCP%20Zulu " I added on the role of content director for EVE late summer 2008 which I have performed since." so basically this whole fiasco is kinda your fault? cool. P.S. "Whatever you choose to do reflects what you are and what you want others to think you are." ccp zulu. according to google translate the above quote is this, "we didn't want your money anyway"
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Blackened Skies Imperial Directorate	Posted - 2011.06.24 23:26:00 - [10] Originally by: xBreetaix im wondering how well that playstation only shooter dust 514 is going to sell after all this is said and done. Would be bad if CCP had all those chickens in one basket. -2 subs for dust to work at all eve must be functioning, good luck getting the FPS crowd to trust you again if you kill eve and dust before it even gets off the ground, however, if you do manage that you will at least be able to sit back and be proud that you are officially the laughing stock of the gaming world

Garreth Vlox Minmatar Brutor Tribe	Posted - 2011.06.25 00:21:00 - [11] Originally by: leth ghost i know what it is All that ****ing air they got blown up there ass at e3 going on the sony stage has gone to there heads it will be interesting to see how far sony puts their boot up that same ass if they manage to destroy the market for dust before its even out
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Brutor Tribe	Posted - 2011.06.25 00:31:00 - [12] Originally by: ghost st Originally by: BlackSunMiner /Me scratches out horse and writes in derp, wins at internets? well played sir, you do indeed win.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.25 22:00:00 - [13] Originally by: Carli Zandrya #1 rule: STOP THE BLEEDING. THEN fix the problem. 296 pages with little or no response speaks volumes on that. Your player base is still bleeding. Badly. It's not even about the AUR anymore.. it stopped being about AUR the SECOND that zulu opened his mouth and proved he had the public speaking skills of a kindergartner.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.25 22:49:00 - [14] Originally by: TyphMaster Stop wasting your time guys ... CCP doesn't care about us .. they dont care about community .. they sent a peon who claimed to be the responsible for some of their groups to simply lie to us asking time for .. nothing? .... CSM is definitely a joke and CCP is just laughing at this moment just waiting the end of this discussion before moving forward with this s*** without a single change. Sooner or later they will sell non-vanity stuffs and bigger upgrades (like additional fit slots .. can you imagine the old EOS back with an additional low slot, more speed, etc..? Just pay 30 bucks) for a fee. Period! They ignored us in the past (Need for speed thing and other crisis) and they will continue to ignore us. If you are not happy go find another game! I am looking for an alternative already. perpetuum online is starting to look real atractive to me, seeing as it looks and feels like eve without the overbearing stupidity of CCP's management team
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.25 22:54:00 - [15] Originally by: Ris Dnalor Originally by: CCP Manifest 1) Whether you believe me or not, thems the facts. 2) So please understand if I don't respond in a timely fashion in any venue and understand too that many questions simply cannot be answered directly. 2) If some of my responses that I end up making do sound glib, I can assure you it is not because I don't understand the gravity of the situation at hand or the trueness of emotion/logic behind player opinion. It's because, frankly, of who I am. 1) so one person had an emergency therefore no one else had the balls to step up and take some flak? how professional of you. 2) THERE IS ONLY 1 **ING QUESTION THE PEOPLE OF THIS FORUM WANT ANSWERED, ITS THE ONE YOU KEEP IGNORING. 3)well then maybe you should put your ing personality on hold and do you **ing job before your inability to communicate like a normal human being manages to destroy the entire fan base and the game.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.25 22:58:00 - [16] Originally by: Angeliq Originally by: Dragonzchilde WE WANT PVP we DONT NEED SHOES FIX YOUR PVP - dont you **ing touch the moms - bring back the AoE doomsday - get rid of the blob - give snipers a chance to do their thing - get rid of the blob - fix rockets - fix blasters - fix webs - get rid of the blob - Pos grinding - make the game attractive to smaller groups - get rid of the blob your ty AUR your y vanity crap Totally agree! they are fixing the blob, at the rate people are canceling ** and leaving the game there wont be 1000 man battles anymore and the server will finally be able to handle fleet fights agian
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.25 23:07:00 - [17] Originally by: Koramok The pitchforks and torches came out for a reason. Now that they are out, things are going to burn. It's too late to go back and try to prevent something that has already happened. I am angry. Now, lets flip some cars and smash some windows and show these arrogant **s how we feel about it. i nominate this song as our theme song to burn this mother er down too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VFmiP8x0kg lets start a mother **ing riot they remember on MMO's for the next decade.

Uhh, why should we give a damn again? The less pompous arrogant insulting people we give money to, the better, no? ^^ this, cant wait till the CEO has to explain to his employees why their jobs no longer exist.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.27 01:01:00 - [20] "Recently, a third-party Web site stated that they had received confidential information regarding a buyout of CCP by Sony Online Entertainment. I can confirm that neither Sony nor CCP are in such discussions, and CCP is and remains and independent company. P.S. I realized this does not answer what is most important to many of you at this time: yes, CCP Zulu is working on a new blog, as he posted on his @arnarhrafn Twitter a few hours ago." CCP FALLOUT http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1540052 why would sony even want to buy you out?. They just finished closing the game where they alienated the entire fan base and subsequently killed the game, why would they want to inherit your **** up

Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.29 19:14:00 - [21] To state the brutally obvious: this is not how to handle microtransactions. In fact, this is probably a textbook case in how NOT to handle microtransactions (a story that has been written already, actually). And in a hardcore abstract game such as Eve, IÆm not sure microtransactions can even work, at least without alienating almost every player Eve currently has - in other words, an NGE-style extinction level event. http://www.brokentoys.org/2011/06/28/fear-and-monocles/#comments
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.06.29 19:18:00 - [22] Originally by: Roberto Esperanza This game is/was wonderful because hardly any decision a player made about anything wasn't a superficial one. Now, we people that tired of that in other games and came to this game are going to have to leave this one to find something like what you used to be. It's really kinda sad... This is an amazing business move, it's just too bad that it's at the cost of your core players. Just wait until you attract all of the 14 years olds to your new game, you'll miss that player base that you crucified. lol i love how CCP thinks the player group they have is overly demanding, just wait till its all preteens going thru puberty using daddy's credit cards lol. welcome to the player base from HELL CCP.
Garreth Vlox Minmatar Obsidian Inc.	Posted - 2011.07.01 02:59:00 - [23] Originally by: Capsuleer Newton On the Otherhand, since CCP did not clearly specify the items involved or to be introduced with its MT, many speculate that it might involve game changing items its not so much a concern as it is an very possible outcome given soundwaves quote in my sig
