Agree almost entirely. (I don't have a problem with PLEX-for-gametime, and I'd replace it on your list with 'mandatory T3 boost alts')
CCP seems hellbent on killing everything that makes EVE special (the sandbox, the harshness, the struggle, the 'virtual world' immersion) while devoting almost no resources to EVE's biggest problems (botting, big RMTing alliances, risk-free ISK fire hoses, client hacks.)
Many if not most, of the voices of reason are gone (Mynxee and Teadaze to name 2) so the jabbering WoWtards significantly outnumber the few of us who remain.
As you say, the few of us who remain are also banned for frivolous/nonexistent reasons because we have the audacity to tell it like it is. |

Bitter vet? Bite me.
I agree with your wall of text. That's why I have no problem with PLEX-for-gametime.
I also agree that EVE would be a vastly better game if they had never allowed character sales in the first place.
I don't get the hostility in your closing remark, but whatever. Bitter vets are generally more principled and care more about the game than CCP or the fanbois/sycophants do. I doubt this guy supported character sales at the time. Do you have some evidence that he did?

I've never bought (or sold) ISK for $ or been tempted to.
I've never cheated/exploited or been tempted to.
I've never botted or been tempted to.
I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to save CCP from themselves.
Could I have spent more time railing against CCP incompetence/greed/stupidity/lack-of-integrity?
I suppose. I feel like I did my share of the heavy lifting. YMMV
(If you're going to blame someone for the EVE of today, I'd put it squarely on the sycophants (many of whom are also vets) of New Eden who cheered every boneheaded idea CCP ever had. Not the people who kept the flame of the New Eden sandbox alive even when CCP brought out the fire hose.) |
