Originally by: Android Mindslave The thing that gets me is that they think we are actually stupid.
Sure, we run around and jump up and down and holler, but the underlying problems and concerns have been communicated quite clearly and intelligently. CCP simply refuses to deal with their customers. There isn't anything intelligent left to say because there is no dialog.
The fact that the customers are even sticking around to jump up and down and scream is a damn gift to CCP. When a customer gets angry and starts yelling, that means they want to give you a second chance. They want you to fix things. The true FU is when a customer simply walks away.
The fact that they think "lets just hide until they stop screaming at us" is even some sort of cunning plan that is going to result in anything other than customers walking away.
Plus, you know people are going to badmouth CCP over this.
I never played Starwars, I don't know exactly what the NGE is, yet I know about it and I know it adds some level of :lolsony: when it comes to MMOs.
Fact of the matter is that CCP thinks they can treat us like serfs. Resources they are entitled to exploit, and that anything we want is because we are the ones with the entitlement complex. Fact is, we pay subs. Fact is that we are MAD AS HELL over the fact that CCP is embezzling those subs off to non-EVE stuff. We are paying, they are not delivering, and they think WE are the ones acting like entitled unruly little children?
The only thing going on here is that we are calling BULL on them.
I was there from the beginning, I remember sony giving us a free day because their login servers couldnt handle the initial login load. I was there for CU, I was there for NGE, I left about 2 days afterwards. I dont think my PA survived the week. NGE.... when SWG lost about 80-85% of their playerbase overnight, maybe more, numbers are/were hard to verify. I hope that Eve doesn't .... become so devoid. I hope that it doesnt become PtW.
But... the same inherent problems that surrounded Sony, and NGE, currently surrounds EVE and CCP and Microtransactions. Lack of communications, lack of costumer respect, management ... issues. I remember that when NGE was released... the PR director quit within the hour of the patch release... also quoting Pann... "I am sorry, I have failed you." Tiggs said the exact same thing....
History, when you don't learn from it, you are doomed to repeat it.
