Rather than make yet another "why I give up" thread, I'll add my 2 cents here:
Today is August 2nd, exactly one month after the CCP-CSM emergency meeting results blog was posted. In that time, CCP has managed to post an additional 8 blogs, none of which deal with the abysmal expansion Incarna is turning out to be. In the mean time patch 1.0.2 was pulled, and after posting the usual "we will keep you posted" tripe, that thread has been silently unstickied and no information regarding 1.0.2 has been released since. I really don't care about the whole NEX-store debacle, what I care about is the removal of functionality to push that store on the players, at least that is my perception, as I care about my hangar. One month on CCP has not been able to tell me in what form and when my hangar will return, while I felt that should have been part of the resolution of the summit in the first place.
The second reason for my leaving is because autism seems to be a requirement for employment by CCP. I'm not talking about the utter failure to communicate, I'm talking about the apparent disconnect between CCP designers/developers and the gaming world at large. To this day I always zoom 1 tick in the wrong direction before I remember that I'm playing special needs game EVE, which has zoom inverted compared to just about every game in existence. So upon release of Incarna it was no surprise to me to find out that the EVE developers had decided to devise their own WASD scheme and decided that modifier keys were a superfluos concept. Not surprised, but damn, was I annoyed.
Since I pay for my accounts six months in advance, I could not cancel my accounts in anger, I had to wait for them to expire, the first expires in 2 days. The good thing was that I had a chance to see the storm calm down, and then focus on the actions of CCP. There have been *none*. Actually there have not only been no actions, there have been no words either.
No actions, no words: no money.
I'll be monitoring the dev blogs and patch notes for a while, hopefully reading about the return of the hangar, the fixing of modifier keys, and the actual release of WiS, as opposed to the hateful, pitiful jail I can walk around in right now (I don't get how you can work on an expansion for 5 years, and then release 1 jail in 1 races textures, seriously, this is duke nuke 'em level incompetence).
Fly safe, have fun, so long and thanks for all the fish.
