Nice!

Personally, and this is a gut feeling, the reason why the majority of people play this game isn't to be a jackass and screw peoples' game over. However asking loyal players why they unsub I bet for sure top reasons are because some one was a jackass and ruined 6 months of work in the game or they lost their game savings to a gank, of which you took all the precautions possible. People obviously are looking at this and prioritising their life. People are accepting when they have something to show for their efforts, when they don't they choose to unsub.

Ask me why ill unsub. Eve has always been about choice and response. If I made the choice to gank someone 4 years ago I expected to pay with losing an expensive ship and then have to grind to make it back and therefore pay with it via real money or time in game. Its now too easy to make a choice and not have a real consequence.

Coming from experience, the people who are loyal to CCP are the majority who sign in and can play it safe.

Over the last 12 months the stats of Eve don't make for pretty reading. It's gone from 65k signed in players to 37k. Is the drop of players a connection to the increased occurrence of either a gank or awox ? Could be, I think it's all tied in.

It's cheaper to keep buying customers happy and the thing with awoxers and gankers all they need to do is do it a few times and they have the flexibility to sign in and out when they please. Not like the players who are willing enough to keep grinding.

It's what I said earlier

Good luck to anyone who tries to find a balance between the needs of those that:

Pay with real money and want to be in their own "leave me alone" world [IMPORTANT!]
Pay with real money and want to be in the "dark world [IMPORTANT!
Make enough in game ISK to sub their accounts and want to be in their own "leave me alone" world
Make enough in game ISK to sub their accounts and want to be in the 'dark' world

I think you take on a different perspective if you pay with real money to play the game.

Every PLEX in the system has been purchased for real money, and costs more than your monthly sub.

For example a single PLEX costs -ú16.99 in the UK, a monthly sub costs -ú9.99. Ergo CCP make more money through people paying their sub via PLEX than they do from people paying their sub direct.

TL;DR You have no idea what you're talking about.

The answer then is to greatly increase taxes in NPC corps, for if people are going to get the benefits you mention by hiding out in NPC corps then there should be a much higher premium to get that.

Also, wardecs should follow a player who leaves a player corp, for one week (or until wardec ends) when they leave corp and join another (or go to an NPC corp). The existing exploit of ducking wardecs must be closed. IF wardec mechanics are to exist, they should be meaningful.

We've been beaten into pansification for years with nerf sticks, its time for some content creation carrots CCP.

F

They've done so proficently that now they've come to realize that fear of AWOXing is keeping new players away from corporations as not recruiting anyone is the optimal strategy both for noobs and veterans. This makes that the only people willing to recruit anyone it's reverse AWOXers, which leads to many people's first and last corp experience in EVE is to be griefed by corpmates.

This means that people does not join corps and people who don't join corps don't say subbed for long (generally).

So now that CCP's is counting every dime, they are willing to kill one of the most stupid mechanics ever perpretated on a playerbase to improve corporation recruiting and thus long term retention of new players...

...that is, If they still can find any new players willing to join after 11 years.

Ehh.... i do....

Well i sub by paying with real cash and have twice bought and sold a plex for some ingame breathing space.

I'm the Captain of the Noob Team ... nice to make your aquaintance ... hihi

You can bet im pretty much NOT flying anything i cant afford to loose

True enough, which is why I didn't say that , but the fact is that CCP earn more money, however indirectly, from players who use PLEX as an alternative payment method.
