Well, I've had enough. CCP has made their position clear. The CSM was set up as an interface between their company and us, the playerbase. It has failed miserably. Now it's about who you know in the game, or in the development team. If you know someone inside CCP, you get a free pass. If you are an influential player in the game, or sit at a position of privilege, you get a free pass. The terms of service are interpreted by CCP as they see fit; terms of service are there to be enforced, not interpreted. At the same time, a nobody in the game can be perma-banned without warning under the guise of terms of service enforcement, but members of CCP openly admit that they do not enforce other clauses in their terms of service. CCP has taken the tagline for EVE, "be the villain", and applied it to their management philosophy. No doubt, in a few hours, an ISD lackey or a GM will simply lock this thread as another example of "enforcing" their terms of service. The SOMER Blink fiasco is the last straw for a loyal customer who no longer believes in the integrity of a developer that has been dying from the inside out.
I'm cancelling my sub and it ends on October 18th. I have four accounts and pay -ú9.99 / month. So that's -ú39.96 / month CCP will now be losing. I personally know about half a dozen other guys, some also with multiple accounts, who are also considering letting go of the game.
It's not that I'm QQ-ing about a decision I don't like (or is anyone else for that matter). It's the unrelenting, consistent, throw-it-in-your-face level of incompetence that CCP continues to express in its' decision-making. Even the simplest of moves now seem to leave CCP stumbling. Perhaps they should re-consider Youtube as an employment platform?
So, here I am (for < a month more), and I am asking, seriously, for a stand to be made. Search your own hearts and seriously consider whether you are happy handing over the money you spend the hours in your day making to a company that think's you are something to poke with a stick, a cash-cow. If you are not, please stop, else this will become their business model for the next ten years.

And nothing of value was lost.
Seriously though bravo to you for recognising the one way that makes your protest actually mean something, its just a shame that having succesfully grasped the opportunity to say something meaningful and be heard you instead let it slip through your fingers by posting this pile of tosh.

Could it be the fact that I've literally been to Somalia which leads me to believe that the situation isn't utterly hopeless? CCP is a herd of cats, but I've seen them successfully herded once in a while. So far the enjoyment of the game outweighs the occasional jaw-dropping messups - messups that, btw, seem to most often get rectified.
I just kind of consider messup rectification a sort of a mini-game. There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

I'll call my broker first thing Monday morning and have him divest all my CCP holdings. It's not insider trading if you see it in a forum, right?
