However, as a subscription based golden goose, EVE
needs to incorporate the virtual goods sales model to allow for further
revenue û revenue to fund our other titles...

53 THOUSAND players online today like your game. A couple of Dozen are so mad with rage FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON, They've resorted to shooting Imaginary Statues, with Imaginary Ordinances, From Their Imaginary Spaceships to Prove an Imaginary Point.

If I were you I'd listen to the 53 THOUSAND PLAYERS Instead. Thank you in Advance and Cheers CCP.

No, ccp responded, and stated several times they would not have non-vanity items in NeX... its just that the players are ignoring this.

I mean, read the current DevBlog, it again states there will be no non-vanity items in NeX. Yet the players still rage on about NeX killing eve blah blah blah.

It reminds me of the Birthers after obama released his certificate. It doesnt matter what the **** you show or say to these people. They believe what they want, facts be damned.

P2W has worked remarkably well for ALL other MMOs (I dont kno any exceptions), even those who have player based economies. Relax , experience has shown all's well with the world ;)

---

Would you care to say which MMO's have worked well with in game Cash Stores that sell Non-Vanity items that have the player driven economy that Eve has?

---

Well Planet Calypso for one, a guy bought an astroid there for 100,000 pounds or something, (from memory) straight into the Devs wallet, deus-ex-credit-card, he's charging other players to enter his property and has made a killing. There is a player driven economy in that game.

Planet Calypso is BASED on real world money... for starters your example is full of bull****... second of all although i love eve-online, sometimes i wish that everything goes as CCP and guys like you want it... Full of MT and non-vanity items, old hardcore community gone and new 10-20 year old community to emerge staying in EVE for... 2-3 months? Or you trully believe that even if they have the UBER character those young gamers will like EVE online's boredom as we do?
Therefore i would like to see your stupid-ass face afterwards crying out loud BRING BACK THE OLD EVE! You moron...

Dear CCP,

It is not that you made the NeX items unreasonably pricy, although you have. It is not that we merely dislike change. Some of us dislike it, some of us welcome it.

It is that your business plan, from everything we can see, intends to take away the gameplay central to Eve; the player-driven economy. You're planning on making players that have spent time training for manufacturing, researching blueprints to wring out research efficiencies compete with a deus ex credit card.

Someone else pointed out that many player corporations have standings aid as a service for new recruits. You have players themselves advancing the social mechanics of your game, as part of the gameplay. Do you really think it's a good idea to disrupt that?

When we join, we join for the shiny. I joined because I might someday get to fly a Nyx. I'll admit that. But I've stayed, (and paid for new accounts like this one), because it is the players that drive the lore. The epic battles people talk about in chat while mining are the battles that they or their friends participated in, or caused. All of the politics is real. The bad guys are that other group of players that threw a wardec your way.

What we're worried about is that you'll start by taking the little things away, like offering standings aid as a player corp service, and move on to bigger things. There will be people that are willing to pay real money for the I-win-mobile. If you think that you can boil a few hundred thousand frogs to reach out to the few thousand teenagers with dad's credit card you'll lose us too. Then you will have lost what makes the game worth playing.

You'll lose the experienced FCs that know how to run a fleet and can train noobs to be just as valuable as the pilot in the that T2 cruiser. You'll lose the alliances that police their own territory making the alliance mechanics work. You'll lose the smart players who have poured so much time, thought, and effort into the game. The only kinds of players you gain are the ones with short attention spans. The ones that have no patience. The ones that play a "title" and move on.

And what happens when that's your player base? You have to be forever adding "content" like WoW does. Here's the new dance of the month. I've come to hate the term "content" because it's come to be akin to "just give them more icons". I'm not looking for just "content", I'm looking for play.

Most of your players today are not kids. I'm in my late thirties. I work in the software field. Like most of your players, I'm not stupid. I am not just a revenue stream. I say these things not in an attempt to gain your respect. I say these things in the hopes that they make you think about the kinds of players you want inhabiting your universe.

I won't cancel my account yet. You haven't upended the sandbox yet. Like your CEO suggested, I'll watch what you do more than what you say. I played Star Wars Galaxies, I had a character that made weapons. I had a plan in the game to become the premier gunsmith in my little neighborhood. That was what I was going to play toward. Sony changed the game, I dropped my subscription because it wasn't fun anymore. Please don't do that to us.

Regards,

Nyssa

Yeah, OP is right. You want to protest, don't log in. All the protesters have done so far is prove that no matter what CCP does, they (the protesters) will continue to log in and participate in the sandbox...

BTW: I'd like to thank all the protesters in Jita and Rens for buying my ammo and mods, making this weekend my most successful weekend since I started trading.
