The people who are so quick to complain about how entitled the wow community is are in a way entitled themselves. CCP is a company and making the game more appealing or easier gets subs. I'm in a new player friendly corp in nullsec and our numbers have been swelling with people completely new to EVE, its almost 2 a day at this point.
We don't get vets unsubbing and most are happy with the changes that are happening. EVE isn't "your" sandbox its "a" sandbox, yeah yeah my 15 dollars a month blah blah same argument the people in WoW use. I think its time to come to terms with the fact that EVE Online is not the same game it was 10 years ago and it will never be. Ship skins, clothing, refined UI some of the most heated topics recently are all massive revenue drivers for other companies. Of course CCP is going to add them and to think they won't try to make revenue because of the vocal minority bitching about it on the forums is just idiotic.
CCP isn't going to hold their game and company profits back because you feel dissatisfied with a change that has no impact on gameplay, get over it.
Catering to the same player base as most other MMO is not a safe bet. Look at all the wow killers... |

If the dumbest, but still experienced EVE players joined WoW they'd cry as well.

In short; better 5000 constant numbers than 50,000 whining babies who need constantly appeased.
The problem for that is greed. Every MMO could potentially have lived on it's "core" audience for years but owners usually want better returns on investment. If your target audience was large to begin with, you face less problem than if you were creating a niche game. The cut-off line always depend on your running cost. If the 50,000 babies are needed to keep your stuff running, the 5000 constant numbers option is just not valid. |

That's why we dont have em. Isis Dea wrote: I'm a role-player who's watched the slow decline of EVE's catering to its lore and vast sci-fi dystopia and more catering to trollish alliances that were the initial reason I ran away from other titles and came to EVE in the first place. So you are a roleplayer, but one who doesn't want to roleplay in a universe you can actually interact with but prefer the painted-on chairs and unassailable whims of NPCs who never ever ever change? In a lore that isnt particualrly interesting or original? You probably should have stayed in the Golden Lion Inn tbqfh
I was only illustrating without it applying to EVE's current state.
As for that inn, it's kinda creepy tbh... |

Now EvE's a sandbox where players are writing their own story, goals are very different, and it's useless to compare them.
That said, we are not better because we play at EvE, we just like this kind of game, that's all. Actually we are indeed better. EVE is way harder than WoW and needs some actual brain matter to play it. Of course you don't have to be smart about it, but those people could play WoW as well ... ... and probably wouldn't notice a difference. I've never done any huge scale Nullsec wars in eve, but the top tier of raiding in Wow is harder than Any wormholes, lowsec, or highsec activites by far. And when you say "we" realize that a huge percentage of Eve players play WoW, and a small percentage of WoW players play Eve.
They just don't compare well. Their difficulty come from things completely opposite from each others. |
