Mendolus Aurelius Federation Eternal Evocations	Posted - 2011.08.26 17:57:00 - [31] Edited by: Mendolus on 26/08/2011 17:59:13 Originally by: Tian Jade I purchased a coat. Cry all you want, a Plex is not that much money for me and I can support CCP in developing the game I love. You may flame now. Thank you for being honest, and I hope you enjoy your fancy coat. Game is no different before you bought it, and won't be different after you bought it. So long as CCP decides whether to make that coat consumable or destructible at least. For now, I have a feeling that soon you will be unable to remove a NEX item back to your items hangar once you use it on a particular character even if you choose to display it or not on your avatar. I can flame you if you want tho, your avatar is pretty hot, altho you are prolly a G.I.R.L. in which case I retract my previous jests and firmly plant myself in my heterosexuality!
Bootleg Jack Potters Field	Posted - 2011.08.26 18:07:00 - [32] Originally by: Myxx Originally by: Mashie Saldana Originally by: Abrazzar Define: "We" Those that doesn't like the MT/subscription combo I guess. Which equates to a whole lot of people. You bet, in that thread OP linked a "whole lot" is basically 0.2% of the player base!! And that is assuming all the alts are stand alone accounts which is of course absurd. .2%, scary, imagine if they quit!!
Obsidian Hawk RONA Corporation RONA Directorate	Posted - 2011.08.26 18:34:00 - [33] I was around for the ship skin discussion and i did call bull**** on how they wanted to implement it. I am all for ship skins as long as it requires the original tech 1 variant to build it, and that the new version DOES NOT have stats better than the tech 1 variant.
Deryk Kyeld Veteran Defense Initiative	Posted - 2011.08.26 18:34:00 - [34] Edited by: Deryk Kyeld on 26/08/2011 18:34:09 Originally by: Sullen Skoung What NOT to do link in this post also see sig. If you at CCP dont know what NGE/CU is you can google it, but this IS yours LOL get real. NGE/CU were dramatic changes to the game that completely altered how it was played. Incarna has only added more features unless you believe ship spinning was a great part of the game. Don't compare apples to oranges. Incarna is nothing like NGE/CU.
Ranger 1 Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2011.08.26 18:52:00 - [35] Originally by: Cipher Jones Originally by: Naran Eto Originally by: Sullen Skoung Edited by: Sullen Skoung on 26/08/2011 15:06:01 Originally by: Written Word Lets see, despite being proven all across the industry that it makes a lot of money and has no tangible effect on player retention outside of forum screamers (you in this case).. they should stop it doing it right? You aren't going to quit. You'll whine but you'll go back to playing. an when the Greed is Good thing was leaked noone protested in game right? That was just rumors? You mean that little protest involving a couple hundred players while the other 30 thousand or so players sat back, laughed and yelled wtf was all that nonsense about? Ahhh, a good bit had the demands of what we were protesting met. Once again thank you CCP for 'listening' to our 'actions.' The people that don't get that kill me. Its like a little kid running around with their fingers in their ears screaming "I am not listening to you..." I usually don't disagree with you Cipher, but I can't honestly say I agree with that assessment. What really came out of the protests was pressure to communicate their intentions and plans better. In this regard the protests had a good and positive effect. However, those protests in no way changed CCP's game plan. It merely prompted them at doing a better job of communicating what that plan was to begin with, which had the beneficial effect of allaying most peoples fears (and took the wind out of the sails of all but the most persistant and obtuse forum troll celebrities). So no, I'm not saying the protests had no effect or weren't a good thing on some level, but the effect the protests had was not to force the game plan to change to something we liked better. Rather it's benefit was to force better communication and understanding of a plan that was actually pretty acceptable to begin with. @OP: Get over yourself. Most people have no issue with MT being in EVE in its current form or the with the Nex store in general (other than to lobby for it being made affordable to more people). If people didn't want to play around with it, the pricing levels wouldn't be an issue to begin with. ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction.
Rhaegor Stormborn BURN EDEN Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2011.08.26 19:00:00 - [36] Originally by: Myxx GTFO with the nex store and eveisreal(crap) Do something useful with those art assets instead. LIKE PRIORITIZE EVERY SINGLE REQUEST THE CSM BROUGHT TO YOU AND YOU PUT ON HOLD "BECAUSE OF ART" **** your MT store. Agree. Like.
LuxLight	Posted - 2011.08.26 20:05:00 - [37] Originally by: Myxx A Reminder to CCP: We do not want microtransactions period. Wrong. I want microtransactions. Bring it on. Ships, gear, ammo, paint jobs, etc...

If people didn't want to play around with it, the pricing levels wouldn't be an issue to begin with. Wrong. Most people who don't have issue with micro-transactions will leave pretty soon after these MTs get in full into the game. Hardcore players will leave the moment these MTs go into game changing items. And then CCP will cry out for people to return. With mails and offers. But once someone biomass there's no way he will return. And MTs of game changing items warrantee that biomass for hardcore players who sustained EVE for these years. And then EVE becomes F2P with P2W. With Dust 514 interaction... which will be P2W from the start... a game for a year to be around. And then collect dust on shelves. Well... it's name already includes that.

If you at CCP dont know what NGE/CU is you can google it, but this IS yours LOL get real. NGE/CU were dramatic changes to the game that completely altered how it was played. Incarna has only added more features unless you believe ship spinning was a integral part of the game. Don't compare apples to oranges. Incarna is nothing like NGE/CU. Oh the whole devaluing of High sec and forcing those players into the snapping jaws of the 0.0 elite? Thats not drastic either huh -------- CCP knows better than the players whats good for their game. SOE knew what was best for SWG too. Better than all those players that left too. This is your NGE/CU moment CCP.
Ara Soulbright	Posted - 2011.08.26 20:23:00 - [40] Soon as I got money in my credit card I'll be getting some AUR. I'll dress up my Ken doll like a champ. And I'll also likely dress up another account's female character as his mistress. Soon as they come out with the short shorts and micro-skirts...

That sums up my sentiments about that entire ordeal. OP was likely in the midst of it trying to instill more nerd rage.

A nice talk about that subject Take note in the part where the biggest community whiners ending up paying more in the cash store than a non-whiner.

Hugely unpopular PR, nasty articles being written, claims they have killed the game but they all kept their jobs and they are making more games. Apples to Oragnes There is a big difference between a Free to play game where a subscriber who leaves over Micro-transactions wasn't paying anything anyway, and one from a subscription based game where that same player was paying $15 a month or more. In the first case if they leave who cares they were a free loader anyway. In the second that's $180 in actual real revenue per year for each account they cancel that is lost. This is why when 3000+ accounts clicked cancel CCP changed their "stay the course" plan and paid full fare to fly the CSM out to Iceland for their "Summit". You think "who cares that's only 3000 of 300,000" CCP's accounts went "hmm that's 1% of our accounts and 30001512... $540,000 real dollars per year lost. hold the presses lets rethink this" Actually if memory serves it was closer to 6k accounts so 2% of their revenue threatening to go buh-bye.

Youre on EVE-O QQing about "another of THESE threads" um... thats 75% of what EVE-O is or ever was from what Ive seen. it's true... I bet if you did a search about "not another one of THESE threads" it would be 500+ pages of results. Dissmissive voices are heard more often than practical voices. Probably because people think they're more important when they say that, "I'm trying to help keep the forums clean, with my useless post, pointing out that your post is useless" LOL!!!

If you at CCP dont know what NGE/CU is you can google it, but this IS yours As someone who was hit by the NGE I can safely say this is nothing like it. It has the same potential destructive weight on EVE. Consider that CCP thinks it knows best, as did Smed and George Lucas with SW:G. We all know how that went. IF CCP continues to ignore the playerbase in favor of their microtransactions and such... it could easily get out of hand again. I fear if it spirals out of control again, it'll do serious and lasting damage to the playerbase on the same level as the 'New Game Enhancements'. It easily could do that, if not worse. What I'm not saying, by the way, is that its on the same level of sweeping changes. That would be like turning EVE into an FPS in space (wtfhorribleidea). That would be even worse, infact. -- Originally by: CCP Explorer (and if you guys would also stop using Drakes it would be really appreciated, kthxbye). Originally by: Tom Gerard Then again...

CCP not doing what YOU want them to do doesn't mean they're not listening to their player base, you don't have access to that data. i would be willing to wager the vast majority of the user base doesn't give a **** about cosmetic MT. now if they actually made MT for non-cosmetic items then a lot of the player base would raise a stink. The difference between the rest of us and you is we're not chicken littles.

Because adding a wider choice of pants is the same as removing my swordsman/pikeman build, destroying 250 heavy miners out of 260, removing decay which effectivly wiped out the economy and making traders useless, taking away faction fighting and dumbing down the NPCs so much that the hardest content can be done in hotpants with your fists as the only weapon.

I'm NOT talking about the sweeping changes they made. I'm comparing the potential destruction it could cause the playerbase. I was very much a fan of incarna up until they ed it up with the NEX store. I was very much a fan of the new forums and eve gate... until they decided to hire an incompetent web team. I still think it could work, but CCP are arrogant tards sometimes and bite too much off and get themselves into positions where they promise things will be fixed/delt with a certain way, and then that up because they underestimate the problems they face. -- Originally by:** CCP Explorer (and if you guys would also stop using Drakes it would be really appreciated, kthxbye).

baltec1	Posted - 2011.08.26 22:23:00 - [55] Originally by: Myxx Heh, okay, point made there, it only nearly rivals the disgust I felt having my TKM/Mdoc and pistoleer/smuggler/tka builds wiped out but not quite. Doesnt change the fact they're pushing it on people who don't want to **ing deal with it in the exact same **ing way. I have more use for incarna than I do for wormholes, t3 ships and a dedicated salvager.

I actually know people who are in design leadership positions at Sony, so I get my information from the horses mouth so to speak. Can MT ruin Eve? Absolutely, just like they CAN destroy any game Has Cosmetic MT ruined any game ever? None that i have ever seen Does having cosmetic MT mean that the game company is simply going to make non-cosmetic, it is a rule of the universe? Absolutely not. Do uninformed users often consider developers to be arrogant (not just of games)? Absolutely, because the devs get tired of explaining complex answers to people incapable of understanding them, over and over. Do you need to chill the ** out? absolutely.

Alex Sinai Mining And Probing Specialists	Posted - 2011.08.26 22:27:00 - [58] Hey all the proud defenders of MT in EVE Online because it's vanity items, don't you **s know about Ishukone Scorpion affair just before Incarna release? That thing surfaced for a moment and then got wiped completely. And the discussion was that this Battleship will be sold solely in NeX MT store. When Incarna arrived and *t hit the fan CCP hid that Ishukone Scorpion as far as they only could. So I'd suggest you rethink your "vanity" defense. Because you will end up with Battleships and golden ammo in subscription game. Probably by then it already will be F2P P2W since a lot of people will leave by that time.

No they put the plans on hold untill they can get the BPC working correctly to accept a scorp in the build process. They originally wanted to put it up for a while without a need for a normal scorp untill they could get the system changed. We shot down the idea and they agreed with the playerbase.

No they put the plans on hold until they feel it's relatively safe to introduce it in their NeX MT shop. Because they suddenly realized that doing so at this moment will ruin their income and potentially reduce the playerbase to unrecoverable levels. But the plans are right there. It's the same as their statements a year ago "we do not have plans for MT shop". Take a look at MT shop in game today.
