Why CCP... Why?
Because subscription system model is out dated and Eve is maybe one of the last ones remaining and still being successful.
Now look at that from a business stand point of view, if Eve is successful while keeping an outdated business model (you want alt accounts and whatnot) imagine what it could be if was a free to play game with current business models.
Now, I'm not saying this is what I want not this should be happening but on the long term this might happen. I think however this guys is probably the one to get Dust514 from what it is and make it successful , one can hope for Dust and team guys working on it.
Don't want to see my Eve become a free to play with massive nerdies and junk players turning around buying golden ammo and federation navy Megas when I, special snowflake Megathron nerd, can only dream some day CCP puts a BPC of it in my hangar. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

Just for clarification, part of my responsibility is forum moderation and that also involves investigating if our forum rules are followed or not - independent of the raised questions and replies. I want to remind everyone that your feedback is welcome and always will be welcome, but it needs to be constructive and must not contain gross insults or personal attacks. I ask everyone to respect our forum rules when posting here. When will Frank be saying hello to us?

I wouldn't bet on just only 10 more years ... in fact I am looking forwards to a couple more decades! That said, please keep your feedback and discussions in this thread polite and reasonable. Personal attacks, insults or other forum rule violations should be avoided, thank you! EA isn't known to be the most user friendly company in gaming for ... the last 5 years or so(?). So for CCP which has had it's fair share of hiccups in PR (Monoclegate) but has learned from those mistakes, and started to listen to it's players and is one of the more user friendly gaming companies out there, this decision makes little sense. I have nothing against the man himself, however, by association with EA, well... lie down with dogs, wake up with their flees type of scenario. Just saying. I agree. Good bye, EVE. I loved you.
You know, when a senior producer or even sub director yada ya starts doing crap stuff there are some other guys above it to slap it right in the face and he will calm down, the other side of the medal is that he might as well have no other option than follow orders just like every other employee.
Do not do the mistake of judgement before the man has even acted, do not judge someone for his pas actions but for the present ones and atm this guy hasn't done a single one regarding Eve so calm down and step back, wait untill you guys have real material to get the crap out of it and gank his posts, until them stop being lazy followers. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

Sacrificing everything that makes EvE unique and turning it into another pump'n'dump game in order to do so is not. CCP doesn't have much of a choice. If they don't compete, and the MMO players decline (due to consoles), they have to do something.
This is not even close to happen.
First because PC games are the bases of all gaming styles you ever see around and second because consoles are getting closer and closer of just another PC and not the other way around.

Ace Uoweme wrote:Doc Fury wrote:b..b..but Ace is our resident expert on all things MMO and gaming companies that aren't CCP.  Let's put it this way: things I predicted for 2 WoW expansions -- and for the same reasons -- came true. Those fanboi catcalls just like yours was loud and mean. They were all wrong. Been doing this for 10 years, Doc. I'm no spring chicken to these things. And I'm don't guard turf to turn another game into a dead one, full of dinosaurs protecting their special interests. And do you want more proof about PC gaming? Here... https://robertsspaceindustries.com/about-the-game
Now go munch on some ferns. 
Then you are a bad predictor.
Even before we attack the second expansion I already had the chance to be in in the second top Europe killers team (yep this was my internet gaming goal at that time so what???) and we had this post from some anonymous internet nerd guy with the exact content explanation and close name to what it has been done for about 10 years as expansions and content.
You are wrong and time will prove it.
Edit because I can: Eve is far more complicated than the most complicated scrip you can find in whatever game out there because there's a factor other games do not account and will never be able to by design: players MADE content and this brilliant concept of free to play a_la_Eve. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

I don't make the decisions, I'm just pointing out the reality.
This is where we disagree.
You're just pointing out the "business intention and bashing" around it because customers are simply sheeps, flowers with no will and let alone brains to think about anything else but what you're ready to put in your commercial.
That an educational problem that has nothing to do with reality. The reality IS that your current console does nothing more than your PC but for far more money less flexibility and far more constraints only to feed a business model based on "specialness"
How the fck can you say my computer is a copy of your crapy console when the first ever joystic is a fcking computer one?
This might as well become truth for ids who don't even know what it looks like to turn on your computer and do all your work under DOS, who have never seen what it looks like the first arcade games and first calculators with integrated games when the crappy thing had for even less than 16mb of first ram version.
This is not a very old past, it's the current present a couple years ago but despite all this tech going faster and faster you can't simply remove the computer base out of the equation simply because the first gist of it was simply genius and hundreds of year advanced. Take your tablet, does it looks like your console or like your computer? Take your smartphone does it looks like your console or like your computer? Take a close look at your car inboard tech and tell me how it looks like.
Noes my friend, you're wrong. Console as concept is a short term business and only business concept just like Apple will be in a couple years if they continue the same route, finished the snowflake individualist products, generational products are the best way to improve the base offer in terms of product it self, its price, ASS, and software/programs reliability. Everything that is a special snowflake is dedicated to be at some point a dinosaur, nothing else.

I just don't get the need to bring this utterly useless kind of comment to this discussion and it's plain stupid. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

Yes, but not what his responsibilities are According to those replies, his job is to read the forums, find out what people want and tellt he devs to do it This does not seem at all likely and is also not exactly a real job
Some people without having special credentials or studies, many times quite ordinary looking can in a blink of an eye spot the "thing" or reduce/regroup huge amounts of information in a simple idea. There's no real name or job for this, what other people do with this "idea" it's another thread but what those guys do can save huge amounts of money/life/problems and so on.
Not saying this guy in one of them, by it's known credentials no one on his right mind as gaming costumer would say that, but, companies have little to do or give a crap of customers, those are expandable items or goods. "Customers" in business language is the synonym of "idiots" you can manipulate at will because makes generations they're being educated to be idiots and act like idiots, the educational systems themselves are turning in to a full industry clearly creating generations and generations of dummies and idiots every day and for decades to come.
This being said, Eve is a game and just like many other games it's all about pixels and nothing more. If the editor doesn't give a crap about his special pixels and cares more about $$$, then why should you bother giving him yours?
Edit: one thing people/dummies/idiots/intelligent etc people need to understand, this is spreadsheets online right? Well ask EA about spreadsheets and their customers reasons or hate and they will tell you their spreadsheet clearly shows increasing numbers and profits, therefore customers hate and claims are wrong and jsut as like in Eve when we get thrown tools at the face to deal with they can say to those costumers:FU you don't count, my spreadsheet does. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

Eve has plenty of room for micro transactions, dual training was one of them but more and moe are possible without braking the game or bring PTW stuff on nex/what-the-heck-name or anywhere else in Eve.
There is plenty of stuff to do with Eve, including open eyes to close minded people who think game market strategies apply RL.

We pay a subscription fee, that should be enough. If you are ok with micro/macro-transactions, then let's see some Titans, super strong shield boosters, warp scrambler immunity mods.. etc on the cash shop... then see you like it. Unless EvE goes free-to-play/buy-to-play there is NO PLACE for any kind of cash shop. In fact EVE has one of the best selling and best designed microtransactions in the MMO world; PLEX.
Indeed but people don't understand there are other ways of doing stuff they clearly don't understand or have any clue about.
Yet plex is exactly the business model CCP needs to keep pushing, and there's plenty of room to do it. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |
