Tara Read FLA5HY RED The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.26 04:29:00 - [1] This is not a rant. This is not a complaint. This is an observation from a grungy, tired, ******* of a space pirate. I make carebears cry, I make women scream. Children would cower at the mention of my name. Miners and cough anti pirates would freeze when they saw me.... But no more.... I'm not sure if any of you softies in this universe we call Eve have ever felt this or experienced it for that matter except for those who have taken the risk, the undertaking, the challenge. But when you warp in and get that rush, that seething burning in your gut when you get right in your prey's face, lock them and clamp them down like a blood filled rabbit to a wolf and see them disintegrate in a matter of seconds knowing full well the cost they now endure the pain, the anger, frustration knowing full well their ship has been lost and the spoils yours... THAT to me is Eve. Risk people. Knowing full well there could be a blob waiting, a few battleships, a carrier, a Titan. It matters not. What matters is the Risk. The reward. The glory of the spoils.... Where is the game I knew? Where is the imagination? Where is the black sheep among MMO's? Where is the company that I gave nearly seven years worth of my time and money to? World Of Warcraft has been cancelled. Guild Wars sits collecting dust. Star Wars galaxies, Lord of The Rings Online as well... Eve Online is the ONLY game I keep coming back to. Eve has gone with me as I went to war signing up for military service, going abroad and coming home. Eve has been with me as I underwent college after and now Eve is here with me as I sit here in a motel in Barstow California awaiting the next Freight Train to take back to a small town in California where it's 115 degrees and my new job exciting and challenging. Point being is no I'm not a person living in my Mothers basement although boy life would be easier. To me the players in Eve even yes you bleeding heart Carebears have been of a certain caliber. A certain breed if you will. It takes a very unique person to jump into low sec only to be fried and shrug it off and come back. It takes an even more daring person with grit to risk it all because who really knows whats waiting beyond the next warp gate. THAT is what keeps me coming back to Eve. The player, the risk, the reward. You can't pod an orc in purple armor, and you certainly cannot destroy that kids goodies permanently like Eve. But I digress. What I have read over the past couple of hours is nothing short of shocking. To see that CCP has forgotten itself, that it's leaders have not only ignored but blatantly insulted those that sign their paychecks to me is nothing short of defamation. YOU CCP Built not a "world" or a "guild" at war.... But an entire UNIVERSE. A Universe where the space is black as it is deadly, a place where it's reward is as mesmerizing as the first time you warp into the unknown... You have taken pilots beyond and we have thrived in this environment because it is FUN. I implore, no I beg of you please don't become another Blizzard... Where the success and greed goes to your head and the product becomes as stale and as revolting as the carcass of a once majestic animal... Look at your competitors... Look at how stale Cataclysm has become. I won't name what game but sadly I am part of a beta of an upcoming game and IT TOO is sadly just another MMO.... The only MMO that is unique to me is this one. And I am certain anyone who plays this game will not only agree with me but are PROUD to be players! As the leaders of this game you should be proud of your players too! Be humble! be thankful that success has driven you this far! Don't forsake those that got you where you are now because without us, your universe would be unplugged and you'd be looking for work elsewhere.... Oh and game breaking weapons and ships shouldn't go for real money. If that's your angle give all those bleeding heart gold farmers their accounts back.

If you feel, post your own personal experience and the positives of this game. Perhaps the devs will pay attention. Sadly already many of my fellow corp members have unsubscribed all their accounts being many who are veteran players like myself. there was even talk of some of our alliance disbanding it became so desperate and I personally had to give a convicting argument to hold things together. CCP has really done a number this time. Hopefully things will change... ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.

Whatever the case may be it was extremely untactful to ban one of the most respected members of this community. I can only hope CCP will come to their senses and at the very least attempt to bring him back someway. Although I don't really see them swallowing their pride. http://pastebin.com/NtRB9bin That was a respected member of the community? Sounds like an awesome community. People overreact. But I can seriously see his frustration and I am personally angry at CCP for the blatant deception... ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.
Tara Read FLA5HY RED The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.26 08:16:00 - [4] Originally by: Maddi5on Mkay It's not a rant. if it were I'd have already been banned trust me. I'm simply explaining that this game has so much potential still to grow, thrive and innovate and yet CCP is doing the absolute worst thing by killing it's player base off and ignoring them. Originally by: Maddi5on This is a qoute from a ccp meeting. Perhaps. It should be. It should be in the next fixed expansion trailer... Originally by: Maddi5on Sorry you lost at eve,don't let the door hit you on the way out I didn't lose. Oh sure I lost my Hurricane to a blob today but I came back and knocked out one of their canes in a Tempest and realized he dropped 47 million isk in loot. Btw I can't shake the feeling that I've ransomed your pod before.... Do you mine? ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.

People can get carried away quite easily. But that this level of emotional involvement is shown en masse shows how great the EVE community is. I am inclined to agree. I was too tired to go full nerd rage. Actually I never really "raged". It's akin to the feeling of shock when you walk in on your spouse in the bed with someone else. Then they refuse to let you join in the fun.... ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.
Tara Read FLA5HY RED The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.26 16:26:00 - [6] Well as I am about to head to work I have yet to see any update of the situation. I'd appreciate if other pilots would also post their feelings and what eve means to them. At any rate I'm sadly not holding my breath but I still do hope CCP does the right thing. ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.
Tara Read FLA5HY RED The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.27 03:29:00 - [7] Originally by: Tobin Shalim For the record, I hate the OP with a burning passion. Firstly, she's a pirate and to me, that's the lowest form of scum. Second, I've (through alts) lost ships to this jerk. For both reasons I utterly despise her and wish to get her locked down and podded over, and over, and over again. Despite my raging hatred for the OP, I still stand right beside her on this issue. Everything that she has said....it's right on, and the very spirit and essence of Eve Online itself. /signed Well technically I'm a he but I do crossdress on occasion so your half right ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.
Tara Read FLA5HY RED The Defenders of Pen Island	Posted - 2011.06.27 06:15:00 - [8] Originally by: LordElfa Actually OP, I think they remembered they were a business. Not good for us and our EVE, but I'm sure it will do very well for CCP. Yeah but they kinda forgot the people that actually pay their bills.... ________________________________________________ Keeping 0.0 Lethal; Since; Ever; Like its supposed to be.
