Have the lessons of the past not been found here? M8?
The top 0.1% of society will always do what they want because they can. Just remember you were the one selling your time/labour/product and they were the one buying. If it's a matter of opportunities you think have been unfair I recall noone being born with a silver spoon.

Make of it what you will. *facepalm* well done, ccp! well done.. *golf claps*
What you think that the upper echelons of any of the big null groups can't do the same thing with their dozens of supers/titan alts?
I saw a guy post a screencap today of his wallet - 76 trilion isk. How many skill extractors is that?
The only solid fact to be gleaned from this social experiment is that this game has an extremely mature economy with not enough sinks.

For the past 5 years or more I have kept several characters subbed even during periods I cannot play for real life reasons for several months - just becasue of SP.
Starting in two days time I will be totally unsubbed on all characters for the first time since about 2010.
The reason I can now do this is I can come back in a few months and throw ISK at my various alts and catch up.
I guess that's a perk but not one I'd be selling.
The game needs more people in space. No stories or legends are being told by people who aren't involved.

Yea it makes since. I mean the guys at CCP can't really be this incompetent unless they fully intended on bleeding the last ounce of life out of this game while they still can. Not to mention the Devs silence in those DevBlogs. Either they are trying to bleed this game out then shut down development of Eve and focus entirely on Valkyrie or it is as you say. Also the new camera angles remind me of EA typical game effects.
Okay let's real talk here for a minute.
They hired an EA manager because working for EA means you know how to play in the big time.
They might be squeezing blood from a stone right now but to be fair they're mostly capitalising on the people who we affectionately know as whales anyway. Jump in, blow $400 on stuff and then get pwnd and leave. Same cycle just doubled down. It's cynical but that's business.
You're assuming they'd switch off the servers while you still pay $12/month? Really? They'd actively kill $5mil a month for what reason? To be perfectly fair and honest counting for inflation you're paying less for eve year on year and them not raising the sub fee is costing them money - for our benefit only.
Are they switching over to a semi-F2P model to compensate for that last point? Duh. Yes. And WOW has woken up to this as well after raping their customers wallets for $15 a month for 10 years.
The silence from devs you mention is a tactic deliberately employed by companies who do not want to defend their behaviour. Jim Sterling recently pointed this out in one of his videos but I've observed the tactic for many years previously while I beta tested bf2/2142 and lastly WAR for EA. As recently as that failed enterprise they were using the old cold shoulder trick to suffocate dissatisfaction and while it's reprehensible to see CCP now use it I can understand why - because it's effective.
My sub expires in April, when does yours?

My sub expires in April, when does yours? You need a second job or a better one if you feel sexually and violently assaulted by paying $15 for a whole month of entertainment. My account will be cancelled after I vote for Xenuria. Nana Skalski wrote:EVE is not what you are thinking it is. Its just an experiment, social experiment. They are testing adaptation of human mind to quickly changing environment. The winner will get all icelandic exotic dancers and a ton of hakarl.  Not any more. CCP has become a large part of Iceland's economy and they have a greater responsibility to the community around them than messing with a bunch of people online.
The word **** in context means theft or abduction which is the historical definition of the word also, not the hysterical definition you've used here.
