Originally by: Zedrik Cayne We are angry... furious... over the what your apparent view of us as your 'clients' are.
Direct slap in the face.
For a long time we suspected that you've gotten way out of touch with us. But, we trusted you.
And then, we get slapped in the face.
Through a leaked document, we really get to see what you think we are. (Or, a subset of you, let's not generalize too much here).
You told us that 'microtransactions are not coming' but they arrived...you told us 'no in-game items' but hey, we saw them on SiSi. You were lying to us bold-faced. But we figured, 'It is a bug, problem, sure it sounds weird that they can't take a ship in exchange for the thing you are paying for..but okay...we can deal.'
But we read the glossy mag...and knew there was something fundamentally wrong. Not only are we being lied to... but we are also being taken advantage of, treated like sheep and cows.
The player base. Is *very* smart. We had to be to make it past the brick wall you call a learning curve. We're passionate, we love this game. Because we can do things here that we cannot do anywhere.
You guys may not know me. I roleplay in the game. I punish the stupid. NO OTHER GAME OUT THERE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER WHAT I DO GAMEPLAY. But it is perfectly all right in EvE. Not only that, I broadcast the stories. I blog about it. I run it through the forums. I create *content*. The next level. What people get to once they have done missions over and over and over again.
And we read the pamphlet...know it is real...and see you contemplating content that *Breaks The Game*. Thoughts that should have been dismissed out of hand as game breaking. Let's sell ammo and ships and etc..etc...
And we grab the pitchforks...Demanding that you turn the bus around *RIGHT NOW*. Because you are going to break it. And once it is broken, you can't put that back together again.
You have not broken the game yet...the sandbox is pretty well intact.
You *will* break it if you don't watch yourselves.
You have broken our trust...we cannot...*CANNOT* trust you. We've been abused too often in this relationship. I can't trust a single word out of your collective mouths. It has gotten that bad.
I love this game...But I unsubbed the one character I own. Just to let you know that indeed. I am serious...this is not a threat. I am leaving should I not get satisfaction.
And I assume that enough folks have done the same that you realized just how angry we all are. WE ARE FUMING.
So what answer do I want? Just one statement: Set in goddamned stone if you have to 'EvE Online will never sell for real money, performance enhancing items. Including implants, rigs, ships, ammo, rigs or materials (T1, T2 or T3)'
In stone would be nice...planted in the lobby of all CCP's campuses. Just to remind folks that there is a line you do not cross...
Don't screw it up CCP....your move.
Quoted for truth. It's been a long time, by the way, Zed. How is life after ninjas?
Anyways, this:
Quote: You have cancelled your EVE Online subscription.
Your account will be suspended at the end of the current subscription period, expiring on 04 July 2011.
Your characters will be stored safely and be ready for you to enjoy again should you decide to return.
If you feel that this cancellation has been made in error, you can quickly and easily reopen your account by clicking below.
I've visited this screen twice now. I feel betrayed after my defense of what I thought was a really good company with their clientele's satisfaction in-mind. Guess I was wrong.
My main has four days of subscription remaining. I'll be watching your statements closely over the next few days. With any luck, they'll be enough to get me to play again.
