MISSED THE POINT
Where is Hilmars Blog we asked for days ago?
The one that shows CCP isn't disconnected from reality and explains to us the TRUTH.
You think a staff members word means ****?

I want to believe that "no gold ammo" means no non vanity items but I will be watching patiently before I let my hopes up.
A year?
They said there would be "NO MT AT ALL" the DAY BEFORE the patch ROFL!
edit: this is not about MT.

microtransactions in a subscription game! what more is there to talk about? f-ck csm.
It's only a subscription game until we finish paying for WoD and DUST.
Then it will be F2P/P2W for the new 12yo audience who won't complain and won't demand.
They know "you can't have MT in subscription". It is only planned like that to milk us for cash-flow until they're finished.

Ok just read the devblog for the 5th time.
It says "We are pushing ahead."
Quote:
to assist us in defining and iterating on our virtual goods strategy.
Quote:
agreement of how virtual goods and services will evolve
"Hi CSM, we are doing this. Nope can't change that, agree? Good."

Oh, right, because 'virtual goods' can't possibly refer to just clothing and war paint and the like, it must refer to uber modules, ships, and ammo! 
You're right, CCPs financial team of ruthless bankers doesn't like money.
edit:
Look around. There are already threads from people saying "I can accept this much.... but I want my items to mean something and give me actual benefits if I'm paying that much"
How long do you think CCP will hold against a threadnaught of "I want my monocle to give me a perception bonus!"?
Market. Demand.
CCP has been *very* clear on this point.
They will adjust MT based on player demand.
While the whole time driving the wedge deeper, until the market is ready to accept everything for pay.

CCP: We aren't going to discuss this for another week and then we MIGHT talk to those of you bound by NDA. Cry moar tears, please.
NDA should be nullified for this meeting.
Can see it getting to a point where CSM says "CFO... I could go leak this now and your position would only IMPROVE!"
The bankers are so far from human that they'll just make more threats.
edit: transparency and honesty, might, doubtfully have some hope of saving their ass. They don't understand the value of honesty though.

stuff.
Eve only remains a subscription game as long as we're dumb enough to pay it.
Soon as the transition is complete it goes F2P/P2W and development gets a lot easier.

Originally by: Lord o'Darkness
If you actually read what I wrote, you would notice that I am saying that a subscription model would make CCP more money than a F2P model. CCP would be smarter to keep EVE on a subscription model, even if the player-base grew larger, lets say 3-4 times the current size, the ARPU would be drastically lower and CCP would be making less money overall. I do not see how less revenue would ease development.
I do actually agree with you, just making a point that there is no conflict between P2W and subscriptions because will go F2P in future once we've been milked.
The thing I see from a dev perspective is F2P is a LOT less work and attracts less demanding customers. Thus more margin.

I believe that they would lose more revenue from players leaving than they would gain if they made EVE Pay2Win.
They're bankers. They think different to humans.

You completely ignore the fact that the newsletter was a ****ing discussion catalyst.
You completely ignore the weight of collaboratory evidence and CCPs omission of not being able to answer without self incrimination.
or the fact the CSM has been recalled to Iceland to work out a NEW plan.

Hey Tippa, wd on that brief.
I didn't really go through it in detail but at a glance it looks like you managed to avoid "pet issues".
Every other brief like that has been pushed while people didn't agree with it.
Was the cause of Hilmar learning not to trust the communities word I think.
Still don't think a document raised in a mob is a good starting point for changes but you did very well to capture the issues.

Nahā My pet issue of the disastrous Mac patch and the abject testing failure that went into is in thereā 
Bugs are fine :-)
It's when people start screaming about nerf/buff of their fav ship in the middle of more pressing issues.
edit: I really can't remember the specific issue but some doc got implemented word for word when Noah and half the community knew it was game breaking.
Another case of missing the issue amongst the noise.... Like "oh it's the price people are upset about".

Looks like the representatives are being summoned to Iceland to be told "the facts of life" etc. (not for a discussion or a fact-finding exercise).

To be co-opted into silencing enough of us to complete the funding of WoD and investors pockets.
Hopefully after 4-6 hours CSM will have convinced them that is not a good goal for the meeting.

The clamps are on PHASE 2 begins.
Blocking users on youtube to clean up videos.
Next banning users who spoke up.
Then the new forums.
All is sweet.

90% of players in High Sec? That means 90% of you complainers are carebears and your opinions don't count about skillpoints or ship purchases.
Have to call that out. Ships are made in highsec occasionally. With minerals and stuff.
