Does ccp really care when a long time player deletes their toons and quits eve? Or is it all about the subscription money coming in? I realize ccp is in this to make money but shouldn't it matter that long time players are leaving the game because ccp caters to a couple of huge alliances and ignores everyone else?

I had 3 friends quit recently that all had almost 100m sp's. Like me they have quit and come back off and on but finally had enough. They deleted their main toons including their stuff and left. I've been playing since early beta and am also considering the same. I've had enough and I'd just like to know if ccp cares?

It's kinda sad that a person can enjoy most of a game so much that they chose it as their only hobby.. but the game gets hijacked by morons(goons, aaa, etc.) and turns into frustration. I realize there are still people having fun and I agree the pvp in eve is awesome. But what is wrong with some people wanting to play in high sec and be left alone while others can play in 0.0 and have a good time. Why do some insist on ruining the game play of others and why does the game company refuse to fix these problems?

I know it's hard for some of you 0.0 losers to understand but there are people that want to play peacefully in high sec and not be ganked or cheated or w/e. And what's wrong with that.. there are lots of different areas in eve so why try to impose your 0.0 game style on people who want to play in high sec?

The reason I ask this is I really don't think ccp cares. I trully believe they have toons or friends playing in these alliances that get to do what ever they want without repercussions. So as long as the money is coming in ccp really doesn't care what normal players think.

I truthfully think that at least half the subscriber base in eve would leave if someone started a game like eve with places to play that were entirely safe from griefing morons. I can say that I would be one of them. It would be nice to be able to play in clearly demarc'd safe zones. I am a pvp'er. it's what I do in eve and I love it. Piracy in low sec is an incredibly fun part of the game, including gate camping with good friends. But some times I need to make some quick isk or I need to mine some carrier fuel, etc. etc. At this point it would be nice to have some safe area to play so I can relax and not keep looking over my shoulder.

I'm just curious if anyone has a legitimate opinion (not an ignorant troll post)?

btw...

0/10

Basically, you have simply said "I only want the type of PVP that "I" enjoy to be allowed".

I look at it this way. If CCP didnt care for its other players they wouldnt of gave eve players the things they wanted.

Such as T2 Warfare links,
T2 tractor beams
T3 Battlecruisers,
Engine trails.
Orca's
Skill Remaps.
New ship designs/ New Skins/New Ship Color.
The list goes on. No CCP doesnt just give these major alliances all these new items and such. And its not as if CCP is forceing you to Pay for your sub or to log onto the game.?

If you dont like how the Creators of EVE run the game then go back to WOW and do the same boring thing every single time. IE getting to level 80 in 4 days.

You sir are the first moron troll post and have won an award. Please post the character you would like your award given to in game.

thnx and die please(in game)

To this char please.

And by the way, how do you expect people to react to such a stupid post? You love PVP/pirating but you demand a safe area for carebearing safe from "moron griefers"? Everyone in 0.0 is stupid? CCP only care about the money (hint: they are a business, so making money is a big part of what they do.)?

I'm sorry, I can't take this post seriously.

Never played wow.. thanks though.

I understand that ccp makes in game items for people to play. But seriously, what would be wrong with high sec being truly safe and low sec/0.0 being the regular current eve?

baah screw the forum, ate my post...

won't bother to write it all again. so just a short version.


Its ridiculous of you to expect CCP to change their game to your liking. What you ask is a change of core game mechanics, of the heart of eve, which goes against everything eve is, a sandbox. you knew what you signed up for when you joined eve. Either adapt to the harsh world of eve or die trying. noone is sad about some carebears biomassing themself and seeing them go back to WoW or Hello Kitty or some other random pve "mmorpg"

if you want to enjoy pve without being target of other players go and play X3, its a great game. probably something for you

Basically I have said let low sec be what it is and 0.0 be what it is but make high sec truly safe?

I am giving you the doubt and replying as if you're not a troll.

this post has legitimate opinions

huge "specially treated" alliances.

Indeed, I am not trying to mindlessly troll you... however you are bringing up a question that was answered before EVE ever got out of beta.

It is very easy to create, and to play, a game that has distinct PVP and non-PVP area's. This is not the goal of EVE.

Whether you currently choose to realize this or not, a great deal of the enjoyment and satisfaction you derive from playing EVE is due to the fact that there is ever present danger and challenge in the various area's of EVE.

There is little point in achieving your goals when there is nothing but time and a grind keeping you from attaining them. Satisfaction comes from achieving those goals despite the best efforts of other players to out compete or simply stop you from attaining them.

This simple premise has been the cornerstone of EVE's success over the years. Removal of all risk for a large portion of the EVE universe would be easy to implement, but would cause immediate mass outrage and player loss... as well as shortly thereafter lead to further loss of subscriptions (due to sheer boredom) from the very people that would cheer the change initially.

I can understand your point of view, but you need to look a little deeper into what makes EVE tick to understand why this would ultimately be a very unhealthy step to take.

Does ccp really care when a long time player deletes their toons and quits eve? Or is it all about the subscription money coming in?

They deleted their main toons including their stuff and left.

I had 3 friends quit recently that all had almost 100m sp's. Like me they have quit and come back off and on but finally had enough. They deleted their main toons including their stuff and left.

Wise words

I do not "demand". I asked what would be wrong with it? I also specified why I would like this safe area.

I'm sorry... for any normal human, this post has legitimate opinions and questions. Therefor if you can't take it seriously then I can't take your request for the award seriously.

Thanks

EVE is a cold harsh Universe, livbe by the sword, die by the sword. I can't spend too much time feeling bad about any of it. I will like your friends feel "used up" and ignored when I leave.
