RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 10:02:00 - [1] Edited by: RougeOperator on 29/06/2011 10:06:45 Edited by: RougeOperator on 29/06/2011 10:02:41 Seems the current move by CCP alts/fanbois is to make everyone think only cool people have the monocle. And to make it cool by acting all edgy about having one. That only those with balls have will have one therefore its cool. Your not hardboiled without a monocle. I cant be the only only one that has seen the rash of monocle threads started by monocle owners. CCP give you guys a free monocle to advertise and force the "its cool to have one" meme. There are also the rationalizing away the costs threads too. CCP spin control out in full force. Edit: cant forget all these, "MTs not so bad" threads either. Seems this is the PR strategy until the CSM where they tell us they are doing MT no matter what.

I can only imagine you are in bed with CCP. Trying to convince people only bad boys have monocles is kinda pathetic. More so that I worry it might work. When people with low self respect buy into this garbage.

This is what I what i was talking about. The "peasant" concept they are trying to sell to the players. When you are more a serf for CCP when you buy one in reality. EDIT: monocles = sellout

Come now, this is quite entertaining to watch as I sip my cognac There it is again. They must have their own channel where they come up with talking points. The issue of MT is bigger then trolling.
RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 10:13:00 - [5] Originally by: Miss Rabblt all these monocle-haters make me want to finally waste money and buy it. Just for trolling on the forums... oh. wait! this is how PR works now.... From opposite direction! Yup thats exactly what Im talking about. Every monocle purchased is a nail in the coffin of eve. And these guys are hammering the nails in.
RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 10:20:00 - [6] Edited by: RougeOperator on 29/06/2011 10:20:37 Originally by: Demure Guise Originally by: RougeOperator [Seems the current move by CCP alts/fanbois is to make everyone think only cool people have the monocle. I know. Rather a transparent ruse and you have to laugh that they even thought it would take off. A quick aside here if you don't mind, but I've noticed your name before and wondered if it was a slip of the keyboard, and was meant to be RogueOperator, instead? I mean no disrespect towards your spelling ability as I make typos all the time! The only mistake was missing the space bar between the two words.

And these guys are hammering the nails in. except one moment: if there was no monocle-haters 90% people would not buy it at all. So bold part is what you and your buddies do now. Your kidding me right? Your saying them acting like juveniles and buying the clothing mommy and daddy hate somehow has merit? Buying something people are mad over just to troll sound more like a mental defect.
RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 10:34:00 - [8] Originally by: Nishachara Actually...the more people buy a monocle the better... CCP will earn money and they will not have to introduce non-vanity MT items than... Actually no, its the opposite it will encourage them to expand it. Why are all of you lacking common sense.

Why are you so butthurt..they want to have monocles ..they have them... I have 5 loki-s all around new eden...if they would show on my avatar picture would you whine about them ? Because I'm watching people hook up the Kevorkian machine to EvE online as we speak. And your Lokis were not MT items you fool so its a very dumb example.
RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 14:10:00 - [10] Originally by: Mushimushi XOXO The funny thing is that CCP has to act quick to fill the hole of 5500 cancelled subs. They can convince the ragequitters to re-sub or they can try to get new players. Not only that a lot of potential new players got the message "OMG they charge $68 for DLC!!!". The attitude of moronocle-wearers here on the forum isn¦t helping either. So let them troll, it only strengthens the position of the protesters. I realize this but I dont want EvE to die. I protest cause I want to pull it back from the cliff its trying to jump off of.
RougeOperator	Posted - 2011.06.29 14:36:00 - [11] Originally by: VKhaun Vex CCP alts and fanbois made it popular? LOL How about... CCP alts and Fanbois bought them because the protesters made them popular? We see shallow arguements based on nothing. I see real concerns drowned out by ****ation like quoting documents that were people speaking HYPOTHETICALLY on an issue they were TOLD TO from a position THEY WERE TOLD TO like it's a game plan for the future, and even that is the best most can do in these threads. Usually it's quotes out of context or that don't even say what they say it does. Your self contained arguments start with assumptions like 'first items not involving player markets' as if BPO's and skillbooks haven't been giving items and skills out of thin air for real money (PLEX sold for ISK) for years. As if killing NPC's didn't drop loot out of thin air. As if minerals ever came from the player market and Asteroids were added with Incarna. Assumptions like 'have to pay money to be competetive' when all along it's been known you could buy anything in the aur shop for ISK through PLEX. IT'S NOT EVEN A REAL MICROTRANSACTION SHOP You can't buy anything directly for money! You could call it an ISK shop, if you can call it a cash shop. Both are equidistant from PLEX** as long as PLEX are sold for both, and if players stopped as the doomsday people say they will due to prices, CCP has a million options to keep them available for ISK. You can't found all your arguments and problems on the assumption that CCP will sit back and let it's game implode and expect to be taken seriously. No. The protesters being this thick made Monocles popular. I would never have bought one if it didn't make those people cry so much and see threads like this. I wouldn't care to make them cry if they weren't so loud about how stupid they are. Protesters made it popular, because easily proving dozens of people wrong is fun, and every time a monocle conversation comes up I get to do just that. Crap I hope this is a just a troll. Id like to think you couldnt be this dumb In reality.
