Ok CCP, since you said you're reading everything in this thread, here goes.

I've cancelled 2/3 accounts, and will be cancelling the last one as well. All run out in sep-nov, so that is the time window for me to get interested in the game again.

Why am i unsubscribing?

1. I don't like being lied to.
You said to the CSM and us a few months back that Microtransactions would only ever be for vanity items. You lied. You are not only discussing it internally, you're implementing it, as confirmed by Scott Holden in your internal newsletter.

2. Microtransactions for non-vanity items will ruin the sandbox.
The PLEX system is good, because it deals with RMT, however game-imbalancing it may be. I can accept that. What i cannot accept is that in a player-driven sandbox, you introduce non-player made items that give an advantage, available for RL money. That goes against the very basis of the Sandbox idea, and will ruin the game for me.

3. Forcing unwanted game elements on your customers because you want them to be Awesome.
Captains Quarters suck. They make it harder for me to use your actual content, internet spaceships. I don't want to watch my characters bum in station, i want to be out flying. You're making that harder. If Incarna and CQ at some point becomes awesome and adds content to the game, then people will use it. Don't force us to watch your stupid space-barbie showcase when it adds no content to the game.


How can you fix this?
1. HTFU and admit that you lied, and apologize so I can believe you.
2. Confirm once and for all that EVE will have no microtransactions for non-vanity items.
3. Make CQ and Incarna optional.


Don't do this and lose your cash cow.
If you don't see the writing on the wall, then you deserve to failcascade and die along with the other failed MMOs.
