Looking at these posts coming out of CCP it would seem they're done with their player base. I get the feeling they haven't been listening for a while. I admit that I keep hoping things will change, but I don't think so this time. The player reaction is different this time and CCP's reaction is different this time. Neither sides actions are really different, the reasons are different.

CCP has to becareful on who they listen and the motives of those people.

The majority does want walk-in-stations, Incarna. Can't really argue that point.. people can try, but there will be a bigger **** storm if they roll back and remove the feature entirely and lose far more than now.

Everything has been talked about by CCP. Infact they said quite an awful lot during the AT9 interviews, and I kinda saw this coming.

What people need to open up their eyes to.. is that there is a sigment of the plaerbase that wants to see PLEX prices fall, not rise. I wonder sometimes.. if it was originally made to be that you could change Isk to Aurum, or there was no Aurum and EVE MT was an Isk sink til it went to player production would we have this ****storm.. would we have leaked documents even? If PLEX was not involved..

Why does it all hinge on PLEX. Yes it can make CCP more money.. what they do with THEIR money is their business, imo.. and they are in the business of making money. The other thing is it raises the value of PLEX.. this has a two part effect..

The higher PLEX goes.. the more it costs to run alts. The more it costs to run bots. The more it hurts major alliances to maintain their nullsec holds. The more it hurts RMT's profit margins.

It gives players purchasing GTC more bang for their buck when they go to sell their PLEX for Isk. Again.. this throws another wrench into the RMT's profit margins. If you can get roughly 500m for your 17 USD instead of 300m.. this is going to cause the RMT to have to fork over more isk at less cost.

Factor in.. speculation on my part.. RMT rings may not be running on the most optimal computers, they runnin' blaster machines! They'll have to upgrade. More money gone. They also have to reprogram with how the 'hangar' works now.. again.. more money gone.

CCP should now follow the trail. Follow the leaders of the rebellion.. find out the leakers.. it certainly could be someone that doesn't like whats happening, and is doing it cause they care about EVE. Kudos to them, honestly. But CCP, AND players themselves should look into whom may actually be pulling the strings.

To the raging mob of people.. I hope you have a clear head, and are pulling your own strings before any of you do something brash.. you may come to find out that people have been pulling your strings to get what they want. Double crossed. Enjoy..

EDIT: NGE was something else entirely. That really did a number on a whole lot of things down to game mechanics. This is nothing like that.. infact, a lot of the ****storm now involves specualtion and assumptions of whats to come, rather than the Now.
