Lots of new players will potentialy bring in several times more real money than the long term players that might leave.
It's all about the money baby, CCP dont give a damn about you if you've been playing for 5+ years they consider you a likely adict that will never leave so are confident in the fact that when they shaft you the vast majority will just go buy some lube and come back for more.
Thats a perfect description, m8.
TBH I'm considering unsubing not only my supercap alt, but all my chars.
Eve its not my "main" game, but I do like it and for the years that I've been playing I did "sold it" to a lot of my friends. One of the first things I usually say to them its that EVE is THE hardest game out there. That its not just time, but also effort that its necessary to get the stuff that you want, and once you get it, try to have fun and enjoy the results of your hard work. At some point, you might take a huge hit (like welping a titan) but w/e you do must be a calculated risk, considering your experience and the tools that you earn to play with. If you lose something, its your fault. Thats not what is happening now.
That kind of arbitrary unreasonable nerf, rendering almost useless chars and assets of considerable value and, consequently, the time and money that you spent over the years... changes everything. There is no reason anymore to make any long term plan when that time that you are about to invest into something might just be a house of cards. I guess no one would spent years building one...
I have wasted my time and money in a lot of stupid things. A lot. Eve is about to join the top 5.
It's like drugs and hookers. Did I had fun? Hell yeah. Would I do it again? Probably not.
Ps.: I'm sure CCP don't care about how a single dude feels about the way they manage EVE, but by posting this i've just made them spend money on data storage. I guess i had my revenge \o/ |
