Effective for themselves, yes. Effective for the entire player base, "no" is an understatement.
There is a reason a lot of the player base feels like the CCP and the CSM get drunk and gleefully give each other reacharounds.
Hint: It is NOT because the majority of the non-hardcore pvp player base which is still the clear majority in EVE feels CCP and the CSM are taking care of them. |

This is how CCP looks to a lot of the player base, past, current and future:
CCP: "Ooo let's make a game where people can scam,steal, be pirates and basically entertain themselves at others expense and let's focus on that player segment at the expense of the others!"
Trolls: "YAY!!!"
CCP: "Damn, we need to get more players into our game. Any suggestions?"
Trolls: *crickets*
There's no mystery here. Wow, well put .... On the plus side, their approach gets big headlines .... seems like all the headlines do though is pull in 3 week trial subs who abruptly leave ....
I think part of that is because people like READING about scams and piracy but discover how NOT fun it is to have those things happen to them.
It's not that I have any issues with scams and piracy and ganking per se, it's just that CCP seems to still mostly be working on that part of the game when it is clear the majority of their player base have other in-game pursuits in entertaining themselves. |

Funny, last I checked there was a huge sigh of relief across literally the entire playerbase when crucible was released. Well, maybe the supercap owners weren't the happiest bunch, but oh well so sad.
Superlatives are almost always wrong, (c wut i did ther?), but I am glad there was relief for some people but will it mean that much to people who either don't play or play but felt Crucible wasn't hugely meaningful? Crucible was a fart in a hurricane albeit a welcome fart. |

But you know what they say about feeding trolls and letting facts get in the way of a good story.
Feel free to post your facts whenever you are ready.
Numbers went down recently then CCP fired people, you may have missed that.
If you can provide any proof, or if CCP says anything that supports your supposition, that goons brought heaps of players into EVE much less players who graduated from trial accounts to full accounts then good on the goons, but I think it's a bit too soon for goons to count their lemmings before they've hatched. Or is the goon koolaid, (goonaid?), really that good?
Until then don't let facts get in the way of your story. |

All I did was state that Goons had a very successful newbee drive (around 600 accounts apparently) and you start spouting off about things that I have supposedly missed, but hadn't even hinted at in any way whatsoever. Nice one.
Actually I was quite sure you knew about it but I did want see what "heaps" was.
600 is not too shabby. I hope they stay.

I will admit it WAS a bit much. My apologies. |
