I think what they are doing with the trial accounts is great.

Sure theres work arounds. But what has been implemented will stop the worst of the abuse.

---

Spot on. Of course there are workarounds, but it requires you to at least move to do it now. More to come.

And does it affect trial accounts converting to subscription? Of course it does, but it's the lesser of two evils. I'd rather have less subs than the abuse going rampant.

I don't see how this is going to help stop any sort of abuse. It will simply shaft newbies.

EVE grabbed me in the first place because it had a truly unlimited trial. It will now have a trial that completely prevents a new player from even hauling his ore, let alone working with friends, etc. Might as well just cut it down to a one-day trial

I personally am going to stop promoting EVE if this happens because it'll be ridiculously hard to get people to catch on if they find they have to pay to even fly an industrial ship. They won't like the fact that they can't try more than a tiny percentage of the content of the game.

Trust me Oveur, this is phenomenally stupid.

Now if you could explain how this would actually help stop abuse...

P.S. In order to stop abuse, you have to be proactive. You're simply trying easy solutions, which in the end will do absolutely nothing. You need to either get a much larger group of GMs out there with powerful database search tools to help work against ISK sellers and the like, or to revamp mining to make it much harder to farm. Anything simpler is simply not going to cut it, and will have unintended consequences.

Usually I listen to you, but you just crossed a very fine line.

---

Are you going to answer my question? As in how will this stop abuse?

I really don't see newbies liking a nice little popup box that says "TRIAL ACCOUNTS CAN'T DO THIS."

Your entire idea here is a complete non-sequitor to the real issue. You're damming a creek to stop the flood of a river.

Ignoring the people telling you that your idea will fail does not stop it from failing.

If you want me and the rest of the playerbase to agree with you, you should give us an explanation. This should include the same statistics you are using to make your decision.

He should ban you off the forums for being an arse.

STFU and pay attention, CCP will handle things the way CCP wants to, not how YOU dictate to them.

You are a classic case of a person that thinks they are far more important then they ever were, or will be in the organization...you are a subscriber, not a CCP shareholder or employee.

Now go pout and suck your thumb like a baby and think it over.
