Initial thoughts, no thanks.
Civilised behaviour is knowing that violence is barbaric, but paying other people to do it is business.

What are CCP going to do if the expected increase in players logged turns out to short term?
Certainly some people quit over the subscription price and make that known in the why are you quitting questionnaire, but how many quit and leave no reason at all, how many of the those who don't comment quit because they don't like the idea of having to create their own content or can't deal with the basic premise of not being safe anywhere?
The reasons for Eve not having a larger subscriber base go far deeper than the cost of a sub, and tbh some of the development decisions made in the past have driven away many that CCP should have tried to retain; the present development direction may well do the same.
Personally I believe it to be a terrible idea on the scale of Incarna and a dipping of the toe into the stagnant waters of the "greed is good" leak of 2011.

How many people unsub intending to win Eve temporarily and never come back at all? Lowering the barrier for them to log in could be very good. You missed the point I was making, there are many things that deter people from Eve, the sub model is only one of them, and probably the least of them given the brutal nature of the game.
