Even customers can see rising revenue and critical acknowledgement as failure.
Such a failure that as a community, we have given them more money. That'll teach them. |

Have they?

What rapid decline? How many players are active?
If you are going off PCU count, it is not; and has never been a measure of the number of active players.

In particular, this slide:

That's for 2014, obviously not now; but demonstrates clearly that PCU =/= number of active players. |

CCP noticed that players who stayed longer tended to be more likely to have had some kind of PvP yes, but correlation does not make for causation. Thanks for pointing this out. I questioned this a while ago and starting thinking I was the only person on these forums who can tell the difference between correlation and causation :) I never did get a link to any useful source material, but someone (but IIRC one of the forums "unreliable narrators" so even if I remember correctly the numbers and context may be wrong
Honest question here: why would anyone link anything helpful for you when you constantly refer to people you don't like as 'fun vampires', 'unreliable narrators', etc?
What would be the reason anyone would assist you (after having taken the time/effort to look at the evidence themselves), when you constantly reduce them to an insult?
However, this may be what you are looking for:

On the issue of correlation and causation, we all know this. It's one of the most cliche statements to make and people make it as a way to dismiss information without thinking deeper about whether it applies. As an alternative, this is a very useful article:

So from a business decision perspective, what should CCP do? Look at the evidence and make the best decision they can on the basis of it, or just guess? |

This thread already declares it a failure. Why would evidence of anything actually make any difference? |
