Here is the skinny. CCP you fcked up big time. It is ok we all do it. Be it business or personel lives we all do it. I do think some folks are flipping out just to make a big stink. They believe it is the only way you will listen. In business money talks BS walks.
Here is your problem you did not think about. We already pay 15 bucks a month per account and the whole plex issue gives you a nice boost aswell. This pays for you making EVE, Dust 514 and that other game. Why the hell would we pay more money for what we already payed for.
Charging us for clothes and crap in a game we already pay a subscription for that pays the designers to make.
CCP you have lost your mind. You realize that Eve has some of the brightest minds in the world playing it?
How on earth will you explain to them that they pay for the game to be designed and then when certain aspects are made they pay more after that.
There is a old saying my friend. If it is not broke don`t fix it.
Among others, this post sums up most of the playerbase feelings.
We ALREADY pay to play the game, many of us PAID for years to get their characters-relationships-abilities to a certain point, and then you suddenly change the WHOLE meaning and concept of the game by introducing Micropayment?
One of the things that has made EVE stand out among games has been the sandbox concept, connected to the complete self-sufficiency of the game and the never-boring complexity of player-driven economy.
Introducing an external factor in it will destroy this side.
It has been already a BAD idea to create PLEX, it is a complete destruction of the "sandbox concept" to have any item in game you can buy via plexes.
CCP, since you did it already, it looks like you are being driven by people who don't understand the playerbase anymore.
It would be especially sad to lose this game, and it would be even worse if CCP would do so following the same idiocy which led Iceland to being bankrupt.
Get back to what worked so well until now, don't be fooled around by the baboons of corporate vampirism.
I'm somewhat of an old player and I invested a lot of time and money in this game, but what I'm sure about anyway is, if there won't be a clear statement announcing soon that the whole concept has been a mistake, and that there will NEVER be ANY microtransaction in EVE, I'll let my accounts expire.
No reason to go on paying if there's going to be microtransactions, of any kind. Better to play something which is only a MT game, from the start, then.
As a side note, be aware that some alliances are already thinking to ban all and any Aurum usage to their members.
