Originally by: Talsha Talamar So CCP refuses any communication to its playerbase till after the CSM-Summit, but they talk to some irrelevant website ?
I think the translation isn't particularly good or even close to what he said, but this point still stands.

Originally by: Minsc Because a terrible babelfish translation is not an accurate piece of info to go on. Believe me if the CSM comes back with anything less than "No game-effecting MT's ever" I'm right at the front of the line for the lynch mob.
There's still that they can openly declare not wanting to talk to us for a week but give interviews to newspapers.

Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda I see the problem, but MBL isn't exactly PC Gamer, BBC, or EVE Online forums. In fact, subscription rates for MBL dropped drastically when the former Icelandic PM Geir Haarde took over as editor-in-chief.
That just makes it worse. It means they will talk to anyone, just not their customers.

Originally by: Macon Squaredealer They are playing semantic games. They have indicated that they want to go beyond vanity items and sell in game advantage while at the same time saying that what they're selling isn't P2W or some sort of "I win" button.
If you think about it, a PLEX is a non-vanity MT item too. In a similar vein, some other license item could let you play minigames. Maybe that's the direction in which they want to go with Incarna in the short term, make Incarna mt based while the space minigame remains as it is.

Again, it isn't at all relevant to what CCP will decide to do based on the CSM meeting. The CSM meeting itself is a conversation with customers.
No, it's not. It's a conversation with a handful of drinking buddies of the developers while the majority of customers will not even be allowed to read all of what they discuss due to the NDA.

Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda If you feel that way about CSM, don't vote for them. I don't.
Or better yet, quit EVE. No one is keeping you here.
That's not how it works. I paid for a subscription so I will do whatever I think I can do in order to actually get to play the game that I paid for when I handed over the money.

Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda I was implying that there's no need to get e-angry over internet pixels.
I'm not angry. They gave us a week to calm down and if we actually do that, they will interpret that as strengthening their position. I don't know if the emergency meeting is an empty gesture or not but I believe I'm not too far off when I say that it will go better if we're not as easily distracted as they might want.

Originally by: Tippia ôàthat's what you said last time, and it wasn't true then, so why should we believe you now?ö
That's their own damn fault. I do think that most people would actually accept it (or fall for it, if your're a cynic).

Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda In that article with a city newspaper, the COO of one the biggest employers in Reykjavik has the task of assuring the local public (that cares about jobs and the economy, not necessarily the game) that the company slipped up but is communicating with customers and will continue to look at all income strategies.
You are just restating that he thinks it is more important to talk to the people we pay than to the people who pay.
