Now wait a second...
Does anyone really think that the big organized suicide ganking alliances care about a few million ISK work of Brutix? They're doing it for the tears and taking out 200m exumers. Taking away some pocket change reimbursal won't change anything. |

The real tears will be from the miners when they find out that gankers actually do not give a crap about insurance. |

Probably, if CCP's goal is to increase the eve playerbase numbers to the point where it once again afford to diversify into other title production, so all of thier eggs aren't in the same proverbial basket, then catering to the casual masses is the only way to go.
Wow may not be hard core sandbox like eve, but it has over 11million paying subs....something ccp is sure to have noticed. The cold hard business facts are, cater to the majority if you want to make money, the minority will either adapt or find something else.
Having there business direction dictated to them by a bunch of online gamers who suddenly decided to unsub etc due to incarna will have, if nothing else, opened their eyes to the pitfalls of catering to the minority..
tldr - Eve will go casual, so ccp can grow.
Everyone that has chased after WOWs subs has failed. Every MMO that changed its makeup to go after WOW subs has collapsed. EVE has done nothing but grow year on year so there is no need to change and go soft. um... That's just the point - eve shrank like 8%. The constant griefing suicide ganking in high sec allows is what stops people from trying EVE out and gets them to quit withing the first 3 months. EVE has a VERY BAD newbie retention rate. It used to have a good veteran retention rate (which is what allowed it to grow) but ****** that up recently. CCP is now highly motivated to: a) fix outstanding issues to appease the long term player. b) get newbies to stick around. Hence what's going on.
c) Get newbies that don't suck and that intend to do something else with EVE unlimited potential than shoot lasers at rocks eternally to make space cash.
And that's coming from someone with levels in astrogeology.

I just wanted to say that I've been autopiloting to and from Jita for four hours, with a hold full of giant secure containers, while listening to the Tron: Legacy soundtrack at full blast. I have not been ganked once.
Peacefully cruising The Grid

Dunno....maybe because they've paid a subscription? Just tossing that out there.
Am I entitled to having a Level 80 character in WOW if I subscribe, then leave the game window open with my character chilling in town?

Context: AFK in EVE = AFK in wow = You're not entitled to anything even if you're subbed.
