Warning: Non english speaker,expect grammar/spelling mistakes.
The last 24 hours or so i have been debating back and forth weather or not i should post about this at all. Before i say anything i will make it clear that i speak for my self, and my own personal feelings regarding what is going on.
I have been playing eve since late 04. Yes i do realize that this character is not that old. This character,which is now my main,was started when they introdused the first power of two offer and the new bloodlines came. I also realize that even if im an older player few will know me,and even less will care about what i have to say,so this post is more for peace of mind then anything else really.
During my time in eve i have seen things go up and down. I have dealt with the drama,i have whined about nerfs like everyone else (just not in public ;) ) ,but more importantly i have seen people come and go. Its just how online games are, people get burned out,have to focus on real life and so on, but i have never seen anyone leave because of something you have done, and i have always been proud to know that if they came back,they would still find me right where i belong.In eve,in my corp making bad jokes and occasionally threatning to rip peoples heads off for loosing ships in stupid ways ;)
This however is different. And before you think otherwise,this is not about the whole buy ingame items for real life currency,or incarna or CQ or the missing engine trails or any of that. I actually looked forward to incarna,i have been since it was still called ambulation 
But you lied to me,to us as a whole...
Its not that long ago that i defended you with theet and claws (sorry again Akita), and around the same time i made my first angry rant here where i attacked the majorety of the eve communety because of some whining about the new forums. I know im naive,but i never thought that you would purposly try and go back on your promises,and that hurts..a lot.
You used to be the one company out there that actually wanted to evolve with the players,you wanted to keep the vets around,you wanted to ensure that your players where happy,people you your self used to play with. But reading this,seeing how it was handled, even im starting to understand that this is not the CCP i used to love. I guess you might have your reasons tho,either greed,or simply that your bored with EVE and want it to end or some other unknown reason. No matter which one it was,you should have been honest with us about it...
And i also realize that you can just say "This was just sent around to our employees to get an discussion going,it was never set in stone" but it wont make a differense. You said this would NOT happen,over and over again. If you actually meant that you wouldent have a need to discuss it,internally or public. I dont know what you can say to make this look like an honest mistake,and im sorry about that because i truly wish you could.
Do i want to quit because this? Well not that it would matter if i did,but unless you change your mind about this i will for the first time be faced with a a choise i hoped i would never have to make.
Will other people? I cant speak for them,but no matter what i think many are pushed one step closer to the edge.
But i hope with all my heart that you will be able to say something that makes me look like a fool for distrusting you.
Im sorry for the wall of text, but sometimes its better to get things out and knowing that even if it was never noticed you tried to let them know what you feel.
Regards,
NC
