Regardless if this is fake/leaked a or not, this is how corporations operates. Trying to increase their income streams. CCP is just getting in touch with the established consumerism paradigm that has rampaged out of proportions the last last two decades. Internet and cell phones is well established consumer tools.

Basically psychology warfare to try to instill wants into the masses. Gamers are very conducive to this with the mmo game play style that already hinges on intermittent reinforcement schedules.

CCP is clearly looking after business models where monetizing is at the forefront and streamlining the game play after different modes of MT and designing excuses for players to buy pixels, e-peen and stats.

This of course will take focus and resources of the product itself, as well as create a lot of different side effects.

What a worthless conceited post.

I figured as much. While I think SOV warfare sucks as do a lot of thigns in game. This is still a great game and one of my favorite past times. WH life in my opinion is just truly incredible and unpredictable. Overall though, CCP has done a great job with this game. Unless I'm wrong. I read the leaks. What's the big deal?

In a year or so kid with fatter mommies wallet than yours will come and own coz he will "pay to win" and not "play to win"...

---

Yes a bit like with PLEX, only this time you buy directly from CCP and not from other players. However CCP still has to do SP for AUR otherwise we can't buy a Titan pilot like we can do with PLEX to ISK and buy them from the bazaar like people already do for years ... that won't do at all!

Since you live in a wormhole I assume that you do a fair amount of sleeper salvage and at least some production. At least some CCP devs seem to have no problem with selling whatever they can through the Nub Store. So imagine you spend all this time producing your goods only to find CCP selling something even better. Then these people who didn't even participate in the EVE market come into your wormhole with their overpowered ships and blast you to hell because you didn't want to spend real money to upgrade your ship.

Many find it slightly irritating to say the least.

Already possible (see post above yours).

But if ISK is rendered obsolete by MT in favour of $$$/AUR ...
The game will become "pay to win"...and you will not be able to compete inside the game with those richer in RL...
...and games serve a purpose to have fun and "escape" from RL for a hour or two right ?

---

The market is Eve. I find it hard to believe they would replace or undermine the ISK market - that's equivalent to just removing ISK directly from player wallets and would spell the end of the game. Do you really think CCP want to kill their own game.

---

It looks like they don't care as long as it lasts long enough to fund WOD and maybe Dust.

leaked ccp newsletter talking about possibility of selling non-cosmetic items for real life money, people get angry, threads get locked, people get banned, forum explodes.

---

Thing is, people already buy non-cosmetic items for real life money.

Folks buy PLEX, turn it into ISK, and use that ISK to buy things.

The thing is, many of us screamed about Plex breaking the spirit of the game, and cried about the slippery slope it created.

Now, when I look at how Plex and character purchases negatively impact the game, it makes me sad.

No longer do you need to work with friends to get ahead. You can buy an army of alts to do anything you like, and fit them out merely by opening your wallet. Players with specializations in niche professions are no longer required. Anyone that wants one can buy a cyno alt, a falcon alt, a mining alt, a freighter alt, a cov-ops alt or any other specialty you can dream of.

PvP has gone from being a war of attrition using ships with the best bang for the buck, to being a game of who can buy the most super-caps to crush the enemy in a single blow; since failing to do that will only allow the enemy to buy replacement fleets when they crack open their wallets. Today, you loose only when you are unwilling to pour more RL cash into the game.

Now, we learn that CCP not only doesn't see any of this as a problem, but they want to charge headlong into ità
CCPs vision of EvE is not the game I played 5 years ago, and it's not the game I want to play.

And I thought the after-incarna threads where hot.. I think CCP just nailed a burning crusade on it's ass.

And that Soundwave guy.. if he's at the next fanfest.. lol.. I don't want to be him..

@the poster above me, stfu, you got no clue

CQ can be turned off and nobody is forcing us to purchase aurum. All the other updates released in Incarna are hardly noticeable.

In other words people are deciding to waste their time complaining about something they can choose to opt out of.

The logic is silly I know. They try to back it up with things like saying "CCP LIED TO US" (despite telling everyone exactly what was coming out) and a whole other bunch of justifications for silly logic.
