THis all seemed so familiar to me then it hit me -- I have seen this before in a little game called MW4. The comparisons here are uncanny and a bit chilling as it was the reason I left that franchise never to return.

We live in interesting times; in fact CCP is the kind of company that if things get repetitive we instinctively crank it up a notch. That, we certainly have done this week. First of we have Incarna, an amazing technological and artistic achievement. A vision from years ago realized to a point that no one could have imaged but a few months ago. It rolls out without a hitch, is in some cases faster than what we had before, this is the pinnacle of professional achievement. For all the noise in the channel we should all stand proud, years from now this is what people will remember.
But we have done more, not only have we redefined the production quality one can apply to virtual worlds with the beautiful Incarna but we have also defined what it really means to make virtual reality more meaningful than real life when it comes to launching our new virtual goods currency, Aurum.
Naturally, we have caught the attention of the world. Only a few weeks ago we revealed more information about DUST 514 and now we have done it again by committing to our core purpose as a company by redefining assumptions. After 40 hours we have already sold 52 monocles, generating more revenue than any of the other items in the store.
This we have done after months of research by a group of highly competent professionals, soliciting input and perspective from thought leaders and experts in and around our industry. We have communicated our intention here internally in very wide circles through the Virtual Economy Summit presentation at the GSM, our Fearless newsletter, sprint reviews, email lists and multiple other channels. This should not come as a surprise to anyone.
Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback_ on what we are doing. Having the perspective of having done this for a decade, I can tell you that this is one of the moments where we look at what our players do and less of what they say. Innovation takes time to set in and the predictable reaction is always to resist change.
We went out with a decisive strategy on pricing and we will stay the course and not flip flop around or knee jerk react to the predictable. That is not saying nothing will change, on the contrary, in fact we know that success in this space is through learning and adapting to _what is actually happening_ and new knowledge gained in addition to what we knew before and expected.
All that said, I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished as a company, changing the world is hard and we are doing it as so many times before! Stay the course, we have done this many times before.
(end)
Oh, and this especially:

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 some sort of cunning plan that is going to result in anything other than customers walking away is simply mind-blowing.
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. |

VERY PREDICTABLE - CCP is, yes, predictable lies, smugness, arrogance etc etc
NOISE - the silence is deafening
STAY THE COURSE - because your own employees need to be told that, because you are out of touch with them too
CHANGE - things are changing, hows the cancellations?
INNOVATION - You invented Microtransactions too?
CHANGE THE WORLD - Yes, some competitor is going to get a bunch of new customers, how many starving people did you personally feed to change their world or did you just change your world?

You killed the best game out there.
CCP CEO should resign.
CCP staff and moderators should take a long hard look at the company they work for.

CCP pran, i doubt you get the time to read this. More than likely it will be buried in the chaos, but here it goes anyhow.
Im not mad about the updates. Eve/ccp must evolve to survive. I can see that. As a player, as long as the Aur isnt a requirement and adds to the sim without causing a massive imbalance, i say continue on. If Aur is used so someone can spend real life currency to get an advanced toon with skills or etc etc, again i see no issue. I myself like to work on the skills, earn the isk, the equipment ships etc. Thats part of eve i enjoy. If im Required to use Aur to advance my characters skills or equipment, if im forced to pay real life income besides the monthly fee just to goof around, mine, mission or irritate others with irrational thoughts and unique ways of getting podded...then i will have to discontinue and find something else for entertainment.
I like what ive seen, in the CQ. This foundation has a lot of potential. Opening the door for more interaction. However, the prices of your items in the exchange are not acceptable. Some clothing in the real world does cost an arm and a leg, but usually those are limited to millions...not the costs of battleships or whole fleets worth of ships (in refrence to the eye monicle that costs 4 plex, 68bucks, or 1.6 billion game isk. I can do a lot with 1.6 billion. I can do a lot in the real world with 68 bucks. If i want something for fluff, fun, to make me look different...fine, give us a variety (sometime.) make it so we can spend 50 aur on glasses, jackets etc etc, not a full plex.
If aur is the way your going, dont cut out the old methods. Allow us the ability to do things the reg time consuming way. If ya dont, or make so many changes its impossible to enjoy the sim without forking over 3 grand...your going to loose a lot of players. This is my fear.
15 a month is enough, if i want to spend plex for aur, to get cool things its a bonus. If i have to spend the aur to get devices Just to survive even a simple task like ...transporting stuff in 1.0 high sec. its just going to derail, and fall apart. Ill loose interest and my income will go elsewhere.
Youve changed eve a lot since 03. I havnt been on this account all that time, but its evolution is amazing. Try not to kill it off before it evolves again. :)

there is no game like eve and CCP should be proud of that. and they have done many things to bring the community closer than any other company.
i sincerely hope that the devs of the game that has entertained me so much for the past 3 years do not step on the faith that they themselves have helped generate in the players' hearts.
there is always the profit motive, but we expect limits on the money grabbing hand.
please, please do not put in any MT items that directly effect gameplay. I dont know what game i'll end up playing.

Well CCP you may think you won because you sold some monocles. But guess what you paid which was greater: Goodwill. Sure you may have gotten a 1 off on some idiots buying a monocle but at the cost of how many subscriptions which would have lasted for *years*? Good trade. lol.

Why are you all shocked? Welcome to greedy corporations. NO supprises here.
I think we're shocked because CCP was never perceived as a greedy corporation. They seemed different than the others. If Sony had done this to us, I'd be far less shocked. I'd have expected this. This just feels like a stab in the back.
Heh. *snicker* *chortle*

This is just so sad. I honestly think Eve will not make it through this mess. Think of all the story, the gameplay, everyone you know in game who will simply vanish.
CCP, you let your shortsighted beancounters make your policy and now New Eden will die because of it.
