I'm an old school gamer. Been playing games since wolfensein 3d, doom, heretic etc. In my eyes gaming has gone down hill in the past couple years (since consoles really) but rather than turn this into a console bashing thread I'll say what I wanted to say.
CCP in my eyes has generally been an "old school" company in that their business model is what the old school devs did for their games. CCP went in different directions from everyone else in the market.
Instead of a grinding xp based system, they went with a time based system
Instead of multi sharded servers, they went with a single shard, etc etc etc
Now we have this 180 degree turn and the things we all hate in other games are being added into eve. MT are evil. Gaming companies do it and force it upon us. The only reason I think they are remotely successfully with MT is because today's generation of gamers who didn't play original games when gaming first came about have no clue that this is evil and are shelling out mommy/daddy's money for crap such as DLC.
CCP, you've put probably one of the worst changes you could possibly do to EVE in game. You've now gone down the path that all other companies have gone down where as in the past you did things differently to stand out.
Is this CCP's NGE (Star wars galaxies reference)?? It may very well be.

CCP is doomed. EVE was something very special in the sea of WoW clones, but the market is changing and CCP isn't successfully adapting. CCP seem desperate to find other ways of increasing revenue, which seems to suggest that either they're not doing so well financially, or that the people in charge are blindly trying to get on the MT bandwagon. The sad thing is that they don't seem to realise that the EVE community is not your typical MMO community.
+1 This. I had that exact same thought. Either they are in financial trouble or they are just doing dumb stupid crap because everyone else is doing it. Since when has CCP started doing what everyone else is. Last I looked, EVE was the only game that did things differently and that's what made it awesome.

I do not want to be pessimistic bout all of this..but in my opinion there is nothing will change, they will stay in that micro**** course and we all get nailed by this ****. I wonder, how many peeps will discontinue to pay and leave the game.
I agree. This is the route they are going with dust 514. They want the two systems to be in the same space on the same servers right? Well for mta's to work in dust514 they need to exist in eve.
If I remember hearing correctly during either fanfast or AT, they said something about if you want to buy weapons in dust you could do that as a mta. Sounds like this is here to stay and they do want play to win to be a part of both games.
