So this maybe the first post I have made in the forum... But I felt this was important...
As a returning Veteran, I swore eve off because it doesn't reward a player for playing! Eve is log on and apply your skill que and go play another game or atleast that is what eve was for me!
Since the 10,000 skill points were put in I have logged more hours of eve then I have in years!!! And now you want to take it away... I think its a bad move... My friends and I all returned to the game in our group alone there was about 6 plex's purchased as a result of the 10,000 skill point change to the game....
If you want to return to a game that doesnt reward a player who actively play's then fine. I will likely just sell off my plex's and return to Wurm Online.... But I thought it was important you got my feedback because I returned just because of this feature!!! |

So now I will likely go back to just making sure my skill's get que'd up.... So I stay ahead of everyone the joined after me....
I hate that about eve, even though I started well ahead of most many started ahead of me and as long as they play they have that edge on me.... Well I hate games that reward casual... If your online you should get skill points if your not you shouldn't.... Stop letting the casual people have there way if you play a game 24/7 then you should be able to smite a casual player with a lightning bolt from your arse... GO BACK TO WoW!
Go back to Killing an AFK Miner in High sec and award yourself a Medal for your heroic deed!!! |

People that haven't played the game in years that I know have expressed interest in returning simply because of the inclusion of this daily 10k skillpoint bonus for playing the game and logging on.
It was a good idea, and really the short data collection period is only givng you an idea of how it is affecting your current playerbase, not the people who are just learning about it who have yet to subscribe or resubscribe. Exactly, I just recently started to play again after some time away, this "Thrill of the hunt" daily was just that little boost that made my decision to resubscribe a good one, now I'm not so sure
I agree 150%... I think I will be letting my sub lapse again... As my Test has now failed since there test failed.... |

new players come and go.. some grow into older players..
The reason your login numbers are dwindling are because you fail at customer retention with ideas like "lets give people skillpoints for doing something" and then deciding "hey you know what.. we take that back".
The game has seen many people that have played for years.. and while it's exciting to see new features added...
CCP as a company has a tendency of COMPLETELY OVERHAULING THE ENTIRE GAME anytime they introduce one of these features, which results in situations where say hey - I spent 8 months training for something that was suited to the game.. then they changed the game and all that time spent training is now WORTHLESS to me.
Jump fatigue by itself was an interesting concept.. but you didn't just do that.. Amarr Carrier V used to mean I could launch a 10th fighter without drone control units.
Now it means I get 4% resists and stronger neut fighters. Gee wouldn't I like to apply the skill points I invested from amarr carrier IV to V somewhere else.
I had one character trained specficially for a sleipnir.. which didn't give much to warfare links before a change a couple years ago..i didn't feel bad about not having leadership skills. It was a beast of a ship that I hoped to pewpew in, trained Command Ship V for, then you completely change how command ships work, making all of them booster ships, making them worthless without them.. and I have not flown a sleipnir since. Heck I quit for 2 years after that.
Our time is spent paying for these skillpoints and you can't get 8 months back after you guys decide to make huge changes to the game.. and that over the years has been one reason that keeps me from staying subscribed to EvE, it feels like the time I invest into it is constantly being made to be useless. Especially considering the amount of time required to be well rounded enough to fly whatever ships become doctrine after you *insert nerf here*
NPE should not be as important as customer retention.. and I feel the vocal minority is having such an effect that the silent majority either just play or in what seems to be a lot of cases.. choose to no longer play.
I have two older characters with millions and millions of sp.. and I liked this feature.. I enjoyed watching seeing hours knocked off my queue, I enjoyed training a skill over a week that wasn't in my queue.
My characters were perfect for the Eve I used to know.. but now I have a character with Amarr Carrier V and I'm not too impressed with the benefits of the time it took to train that skill with the current carrier bonuses. I also have a charactor with command ships V that won't be flying a command ship ANY time soon because they are different than the Eve i used to know.
You keep changing your game to make the vocal minority happy.. and then wonder why you can't hold subscriptions and your dailly logins go down as a result.
Very Well Said!!!! +1000
