Well, the good news.....and I never thought I'd say this.....Hilmar is still in charge.
Bad news....CCP could be positioning for acquisition.

Doing something like this will have a significantly bigger impact than Burn Jita could ever hope to. I would happily fly beside you and blow every last ISK I have in the process. Once nothing is left, biomass ever char I have and cancel my subs.

Would is ganking noobies if......you..can't shoot?

SimCity 2013 /thread Micro transaction everything on a broken game. Because PLEX is not a micro transaction right? Let's see. Pay real $$$ Recive in game item you can use for various function. I wonder what's missing for it to be a micro transaction. Has a point. As soon as PLEX entered the game, it opened the door for it. Yes, it helped to deter selling ISK, but it's now a form of the very thing it tried to prevent...players buying ISK, just like F2P games do it with selling ingame gold.
Can't really speak for other games so my statements are based off an assumption. AFAIK in other games when a player purchases in game currency, the benefit is only between that player and the company. In fact, it serves to devalue everyone else's purchasing power, especially the f2p players since they put effort behind the currency they earn and the bought currency comes from a faucet.
Plex, on the otherhand, while enabling a sort of P2W model that allows more affluent players to avoid the grind, does not magically create isk. The benefits are multifaceted: More than one player benefits from plex as well as the company. And, it's a tradeable commodity which benefits other players without destroying it's primary use.
AFAIK, plex is a more unique form of MT that benefits more than just the company and the purchaser.

So when CCP releases a statement indicating that there will never be MT in the game and then......there's MT in the game and leaked documents about P2W with golden ammo and $1,000 jeans.....you would expect the truth in any statement you get now?
Remember, CCP is a corporation. It's core value is to have no values and it's word isn't worth sht.

And buying a gift card in-game would be a microtransaction. EVE's entire economy is built around and most of their revenue already comes from microtransactions. But OUTRAGE and FURIOUS CONDEMNATION nevertheless.
Plex is a different sort of MT. It benefits the purchaser and other players as well as the company. But it does not confer advantage other than allowing more affluent players the ability to reduce or avoid altogether the grind. A F2P player in game can still purchase and compete with the exact same ships, modules, skills, implants, boosters.
What is being condemned is the industry's move to golden ammo for cash which completely circumvents competition so that a game becomes...."I have more money so I win". Well, I think a lot of us here already get this shoved down our throats in RL. Don't really want it in a game we use to escape that.

In so far as it doesn't mind being the only player.

and if you read it carefully the main pupose is DUST
and maybe World of Darkness.
and lets hope so ccp is not covering a wolf in sheep cloths prowling to retry a incarna focus were ccp lost its conenction with the playerbase.
wich shrunk pretty fast and the bits and pieces of the monument in jita still tell the story the day CCP got scarred by us!
for CCP i advice to release another post really soon about what this EA bobo is going to do on what games.
WOD, DUST 514 i am cool with if he is there for that purpose
making use of his past prestige in EVE be very carefull and be open to the players about it what you have in mind and see what we all feel after a clear explanation about this guy.
i personally dont like to see another escalation like Incarna, but i fear people will mass up in numbers again if he is going to fiddle with a F2P or P2W build in EVE.
first of all F2P and P2W will not help EVE it will kill it in months to maybe 2 years.
look at every other game that went F2P thats because they failed from day one.
if this man gets to much ground to play with if it involves eve it will be hara-kiri
so keep him away from eve and let him play his magic on DUST 514
Incarna is not the problem. CCP's execution of its introduction to the game was absolutely catastrophic.
Hype: expectations
Lack of content: A gimp closet and a locked door...really CCP? Really?!?
Mandatory
Poor implementation: 5fps and computers caught fire
Coupled with:
NeX
Aurum
Macrotransactions: exclusion not inclusion
Greed is Good: Need me dem $1,000 jeans!
Golden Ammo
Circumvention of production
The only way CCP could have fckup worse was to forget to pay the power bill. Seriously! While I'm not particular fan of Incarna, if it could actually be ran on not cutting edge hardware and it had content even the nay sayers would have eventually participated.
