So after all those long write ups bashing CCP and talking about quitting he is logging in and playing eve.
Funny thing is he is not the only rage quitter logging in....
I'm sure no one cares, but i'm so sick of all you punks who who complain and say that you are going to quit to just come back.
Man the **** up and do what you say you are going to do.

You are right, no one cares what you think.
CCP ****ed up royally and lost an ass load of subs, they made some attempt at amending things but we still need to watch what they do and not what they say. Despite that, the exodus HAS made a difference and to expect everyone to remain unsubbed is short-sighted. Exhibiting glee at people's return is frankly pathetic fanboyism. ~~~

Edited by: RiskyFrisky on 02/08/2011 05:34:41 Welcome back Zedrik, since I know you're going to read this.
Zedrik is the guy who directed me to Suddenly Ninjas in my first month of EVE. Without his decision to do that, I doubt I'd be the blood thirsty highsex warfare lover I am.

But in short, the inability to stick to your guns until at least a step is made towards the change you originally left over, is exactly why CCP (and every other game company) can simply ignore said threats and only pay attention to actual loss over quarterly periods.
As we'll probably soon see, EvE may quit you, but you can't quit EvE without biomassing ...

Feel free to quit about a person re-joining. You act like this single person returning to a game will cause all WiS to be cancelled in favour of virtual tea-parties.
Get a grip, stop being a scrub nobody trying to get attention off the infamy of another player and I like that you are the first victim of Zedriks return without him even having to undock. I guess this makes you a triple bad loser. ~~~

Quitting is not a decision to be taken lightly because your return will give substantial aid and comfort to the enemy. That's why bozos like Paul Clavet and Jester and this guy from this thread (who is he again?) are so face-palm inducing. At a minimum, you have castrated yourself (nobody will ever take anything you have to say seriously again.)
For anybody else weighing a GBCW decision, take a moment, consider whether you're the type of person who generally keeps their long-term commitments, if the answer is yes, emulate the best GBCW thread of them all, Teadaze's. (Really it's a disgrace that he hasn't been given more recognition for his prescience and hard work, but that's another story on the riverbank.)
If you're not sure, get your attention-***** ass back in the closet and STFU.

Lol, could this be the same person? Or is it just a coincidence?
And for the record... I said I would let my accounts expire because I couldn't get the game to install after Incarna was released. Check my post history, and you shall see. I eventually did get it to install, so yeah, never let them expire.

I donÆt think you really needed to single out anyone specific OP. I would have stuck to a general message to all the knee-jerk false rage quitters û pathetic. They drone on and on and clutter GD with sh!te and then donÆt follow up on their principled threat. ÇÇP are laughing at them as they know this will all calm down, at least to an acceptance level, such that only the rabid self-important will persist on reminding us all how enlightened, savvy and effective they are

Isn't this ironic?
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN LEAVE! :D
Deal with it *****, I'm probably going to leave my account unsubbed for awhile and just put it on a 20 day skill train or something while CCP get their **** together ( I'm not paying CCP money to not play the game ). If they fix things up and stop screwing over the playerbase then I might come back.
But yeah, if you can't take the thought of someone coming back after saying they're going to leave, gtfo.
Oh how the tables have turned on the CCP fanbois.

If you don't want freedom of speech, go live in China, but something tells me you'd hate that even more the moment you started complaining about the communist party.
I never said no one should run their mouth, but if you are going say something stand by your word... if you say you are going to quit to prove a point, then ****ing quit! dont be a ***** and go back on your word. its simple

You're obviously one of these people who see only what they want to see and not what's actually there.
Nobody is saying people don't have freedomm of speesh or anything like that, we're saying if you say you're going to do something over and over then just bloody do it, don't just talk about it.
As i said to a friend of mine who kept telling me she was planning to kill herself (she wasn't i knew she was just attention seeking) a few years ago "stop whining about it and do it if that's how you feel".

Words are words, get over it, I'd be surprised to see if you'd function normally in society if you flipped out over everything someone said like you do here.
What people do with their time and their money is their business, I for one am getting my money's worth within reason while the game time is still there, unfortunately I find it more entertaining laughing at people like you on the forums than watching my skill training queue for 20 days since that's what the game with it's poorly thought out real time training has done for me.
When people pay for game time or pay for a game, they aren't going to listen to some ******* who has no impact on their lives or the games development just because they say something and I wouldn't expect it either way round.

But CCP knows the real number that count as unsubbed that have not come back yet.

Just as a note from a pre-cu SWG player, what may interest you about sub numbers and the like is that SOE deliberately fabricated their numbers when there was mass exodus like this. I'm not sure how CCP would behave normally in a situation like this when things aren't going their way but in SWG they would lie about the numbers and even fix the high/medium/low thresholds for the servers in order to make it look like there were far more people on than there actually was.
As of now I will not trust any information coming from CCP or CSM on this issue simply from experience.

No they did't. Soe NEVER released numbers, so there were no numbers for them to fabricate, it was one of the biggest things people complained about, LOL.

Subscriber numbers were originally expected to exceed 1,000,000.[51] In August 2005, SOE reported that they had sold 1,000,000 boxed copies of the game.[52] In early 2006, unconfirmed reports showed that only 10,363 subscribers were playing on a particular Friday night, but Smedley denied that subscriptions had fallen this low.[53]

1) wikipedia can be edited by anyone so info on there means squat. 2) the "unconfirmed reports" were from a site that used bots to log into the game and count people on the search, we all know how crap swg's search fucntion was, so that count is totally invalid. 3) smedley may have denied they had fallen that low, but that is not a number, hence no numnbers fabricated.

There may have been rumors about numbers, but SOE has always made it a policy not to release numbers, there have been hundreds of posts on the swg forum asking for numbers and the closest we ever got was a metrics report from a 3rd party that used bots to scan the search function in game and make a guess from that.

I do however agree that numbers can be fabricated, just like numbers on the polls could have been fabricatd.
I'm just not seeing the big exodus that people claim, when i play i still see as many ships floating about the mission hubs as i always see, most of the local channels in the populated areas are overflowing and the rookiee channel is going by so fast it's hard to read, just like it's always been for me.
I understand that people are still playing till the end of their subs so really it's a wait and see game to be honest.

No.
Ooh someones drawn a nice little graph that has numbers on it that can be based off any number that pops into their head without any proof, and can also be interpreted any way you like because they didn't add the information needed to interprate it properly.
I'm going by what i am seeing in game, and i am not seeing anhy difference while i'm playing.
This may be because the quitters aren't really quitters, this may because they got as mamny new subs as quitters, or it may be any other reason, but i am not physically seeing the mass exodus ingame that people are claiming.

àthat come from CCP's own API.
And how is it hard to interpret? The game was chugging along at a steady rate of over 52û53k on peak days (Sundays) before tha patch; after the patch, not only was the first Sunday hugely disappointing but after that, it struggled to go above 50k. The "weekly difference" numbers changed from being about the same to trending upwards, which you'd expect from the pre-patch period to dipping straight into the negatives, which you wouldn't expect.

That's just a PNG file to me, anyone could edit that in paint.
How do you pull that info? I'd like to see it for myself.
And what i mean by hard to interprate is what do those numbers mean? ie: are they logins or are they account subscribed, are they people with active skills etc, it's not overly clear.
As to what i'm seeing ingame being a good or a bad metric, i agree it's not perfect, but it's better than judging it by what angry people are telling you on a forum.

So now people can't change their minds? Ha :-D Reminds me of lame US politics, where you have to blindly stick with an ideology regardless of whether it works, and if you dare change your mind (showing you're capable of thinking for yourself) you're branded a 'flip flop'... sad.
Maybe this "rage quitter" simply decided no Eve was worse than a seriously screwed up Eve? Is he not allowed to do that? At least he vocally stood up for a better Eve, instead of you pathetic CCP arse-kissers. -- The Door! |

I have nine days to go till I take a break, as it happens. I cancelled my sub back when Incarna was released, but thanks to a very old buddy account being activated, I had something like 46 days left, despite subbing on a monthly basis.
I plan to try some other games - old favourites and new alike, and see what happens with CCP fixing everything they effed up in Incarna. I might return very soon. I might return absolutely ages from now. I might never return.

Originally by: "Zedrik Cayne's EvE Blog"
I'm baaaaaaaack. And I can't find any other game out there that lets me play the way I want to play.
It has been a month. I gave a bunch of stuff a try. Perpetuum is the next best alternative but it isn't ready for what I like to do. I'll be keeping subbed there and waiting, skilling up and figuring it out. But for now. I'm also going back to EvE.
It kind of galls me inside a bit. But I haven't found an alternative to our lovely sandbox. That, and I read this. And I realized I was doing the same thing. And that I feel the same way.
Game's back on folks. Ready to roll.
I caught Jester off my twitter feed. The only eve content other than Clear Skies. (I watched the trilogy more times than I'd care to really admit) that I had during my time out. And you know what, he is right.
I've still not quite resubbed yet. Still have to actually go and re-click the 'give CCP money' button. I'm still running on my original paid for time.
Since the op is most likely the butt-hurt person who contacted me on yet another alt most likely, hi vixxxy. (But that is another blog post I've not made yet about how while I wasn't even logged in or piloting an internet spaceship, some folks were still butt-hurt at me)
And thanks Spank for holding my stuff. (I seem to have gotten a good portion of it back...there was an awful lot of it)
Remember folks, <dos-equis guy>I don't always rage quit eve, and then come back a month later. But when I do, I let Lady Spank hold my stuff and isk. Fly dangerously my friends.</dos-equis guy> --

The only toxicity being brought forth is from people like you who profess they've "quit" and yet still manage to play and even post on the forums. You still stick around spewing on how much you hate being here, calling those that don't agree with your emo-rage or believe your fake-quits fanboys. Look at you. You have 40+ days left of subscription and you'll probably spend each and every one of those days talking **** about this game and still playing as if someone is forcing you to stick around.
And when the next patch comes along and isn't about what you feel is about (and yes, you will STILL be here because a fake-quit is a fake-quit) you'll start your vicious cycle of hate-spewing again.
You see, you are the true CCP fanboy. Because even though you talk **** about Eve and CCP, like a drunk husband in a ****ty marriage you STILL keep coming back and sticking around begging your wife to let you back in. Now THAT is fanboism.

I donÆt care if your back Mr Cayne. I didnÆt know or care when you left. What does concern me is the game and the damage inflicted by you and the likes making a lot of noise and startling the sheep. Reminds of a child spitting out itÆs dummy about something it doesnÆt like, simply refuses to let you put it back in and will likely throw it out of the pram as well as setting off the other children around it. 5 minutes later, the dummy will be itÆs best friend again
Want to be noticed and a drama queen? Go on the stage. Want to show how dissatisfied you are with the game. Stop paying and leave. These public tantrums invalidate any credibility, perceived or otherwise, yet harm the game you couldnÆt stay away from

Throwing a tantrum and threatening to run away probably always got him what he wanted form his parents, so it's really them who are at fault for this. We're just blaming the victim here.

Go ahead and fake-quit and rage all you want. Because in the end that is all it is. Just a bunch of little children pouting and making noise. And CCP and the rest of us know this. It's why "i quit" threads aren't taken seriously.
Actually, constantly reinforcing to the Icelandic guys that "they're doing it right" is probably more toxic to the game than telling them how fkd up they did something. If people didn't point out **** that was fkd up, we might still have warp to 15 and unlimited wardecs....
I personally have two accounts canceled. One ended july 27, the other doesn't end for 9 months (because it auto-$ before incarna). I'll use it to train up another alt, then dump it.
They keep screwing up, I'll cancel another. Cancellations are the only thing they take serious.
I personally do *not* want to leave Eve, I practically love the game (or rather, the community I'm in - in a spaceship mmo). That doesn't mean I won't.
Making Incarna mandatory, removing hangar view, nex store and incarna itself are all things I didn't like, and I took appropriate action.
I've agreed with you in the past Sky II, but this time, screw you.
EDIT: ****, that should have been merged/edited with my above post... MODS MERGE if you see this.

Originally by: Asuri Kinnes Actually, constantly reinforcing to the Icelandic guys that "they're doing it right" is probably more toxic to the game than telling them how fkd up they did something.
But there are mature ways to show displeasure, and then there are immature ones.
I've got more issues with the game than your average person, but instead of insulting CCP and threatening to quit all the time i just mention it here and there calmly and rationally, without getting all excited. If i ever do decide to quit, you won't see me making any "OMG IM QUITTING CCP R TEH SUXXOR" threads, because not only is that some childish BS, but i know i'll probably come back at some point.
Anyone who does get all excited, runs around screaming about how the game is ruined forever, and says they're quitting forever, can expect to be called on it when they return. That's just a natural consequence of being full of ****.

Originally by: Toovhon I'm sure he gives a **** what CCP-formwarrior-arsekissers think of him :-)
I'd ask you why don't you go fake-quit about it, but you probably already have .
I have nine days to go till I take a break, as it happens. I cancelled my sub back when Incarna was released, but thanks to a very old buddy account being activated, I had something like 46 days left, despite subbing on a monthly basis.
I plan to try some other games - old favourites and new alike, and see what happens with CCP fixing everything they effed up in Incarna. I might return very soon. I might return absolutely ages from now. I might never return. But one thing I won't be doing, is giving a shít what people like you think, who want to help CCP ruin Eve :-) Not only is your opinion utterly worthless, it is toxic to making Eve a great sandbox.
The only toxicity being brought forth is from people like you who profess they've "quit" and yet still manage to play and even post on the forums. You still stick around spewing on how much you hate being here, calling those that don't agree with your emo-rage or believe your fake-quits fanboys. Look at you. You have 40+ days left of subscription and you'll probably spend each and every one of those days talking **** about this game and still playing as if someone is forcing you to stick around.
And when the next patch comes along and isn't about what you feel should be about (and yes, you will STILL be here because a fake-quit is a fake-quit) you'll start your vicious cycle of hate-spewing again.
You see, you are the true CCP fanboy. Because even though you talk **** about Eve and CCP, like a drunk husband in a ****ty marriage you STILL keep coming back and sticking around begging your wife to let you back in. Now THAT is fanboism.
Go ahead and fake-quit and rage all you want. Because in the end that is all it is. Just a bunch of little children pouting and making noise. And CCP and the rest of us know this. It's why "i quit" threads aren't taken seriously.
How many days days do I have left? In other words - you cannot read, my sad little arsekissing friend :-) -- The Door! |

So you wouldn't tell CCP and the community why you'd quit, if you do, because you have some warped idea quitting something must be forever, and couldn't handle other people with the same warped idea calling you on their made-up warped sense that quitting must last forever?
What must it be like to constantly follow peer pressure of the lowest common denominators? Maybe grow a spine, or is too late in life? :-D -- The Door! |

I'm not sure why you think complaints only matter if they're in childish "I'M QUITTING" threads. Especially when those people only return later after going back on their meds. CCP probably doesn't even pay attention to them, because so many turn out to be empty threats.
If i ever do decide to take another break, people will know why just because i've made it clear already what i don't like about the game. There is no need to make a big thread to announce it. No one cares as much as you think, not even CCP.

So you have some weird idea that one's concerns about Eve can only be posted in threads saying nothing about one quitting Eve? Sorry, does the act of quitting somehow invalidate the reasons? I would have thought the opposite, but then again I am having trouble following your warped logic... -- The Door! |

Maybe because you're too busy putting words in my mouth to follow what i said. Or maybe you're having a stroke.
Again, in the simplest terms possible, i will repeat that you don't have to make a petulant quitting thread in order to complain. From there i went on to say that quitting threads do not hold the power many of you seem to think, because not only are you just one person that no one really cares about, but it often turns out to be empty threats.

Perhaps (in order to avoid confusion) those of us who are quitting can clarify. : We are quitting subscribing.
I believe I belong to the so called "Bittervets" camp as coined by the equally ubiquitous "Fanbois" who may need gentle reminding, that were likely to be relatively wealthy in the Isk Department and thus signal our displeasure by purchasing Plex.

Originally by: "Zedrik Cayne's EvE Blog"
I'm baaaaaaaack. And I can't find any other game out there that lets me play the way I want to play.
It has been a month. I gave a bunch of stuff a try. Perpetuum is the next best alternative but it isn't ready for what I like to do. I'll be keeping subbed there and waiting, skilling up and figuring it out. But for now. I'm also going back to EvE.
It kind of galls me inside a bit. But I haven't found an alternative to our lovely sandbox. That, and I read this. And I realized I was doing the same thing. And that I feel the same way.
Game's back on folks. Ready to roll.
I caught Jester off my twitter feed. The only eve content other than Clear Skies. (I watched the trilogy more times than I'd care to really admit) that I had during my time out. And you know what, he is right.
I've still not quite resubbed yet. Still have to actually go and re-click the 'give CCP money' button. I'm still running on my original paid for time.
Since the op is most likely the butt-hurt person who contacted me on yet another alt most likely, hi vixxxy. (But that is another blog post I've not made yet about how while I wasn't even logged in or piloting an internet spaceship, some folks were still butt-hurt at me)
And thanks Spank for holding my stuff. (I seem to have gotten a good portion of it back...there was an awful lot of it)
Remember folks, <dos-equis guy>I don't always rage quit eve, and then come back a month later. But when I do, I let Lady Spank hold my stuff and isk. Fly dangerously my friends.</dos-equis guy>

I took my account off of auto renew. For now the game is still enjoyable and I don't want to lose progress in my training. However if in the future skill points, stronger combat enhancements or faction standings go for sale, I will be finding a new game to play.
I love EVE but im not going to have my time and effort i've put into my character trivialized by a kid with a credit card. Or even an immature adult with a credit card. I don't have 5 accounts and i'm not looking to speak for anyone other than myself but when I tell you if any of those things occur i'm going to quit I do so mean it.

While I personally don't agree with Zedrik's grounds to leave, that matter is irrelevant for several obvious reasons.
However, as I told Zedrik personally, I'm glad he's back and if he ever scares me like that again, I'm going to slap him.
