If you're not from nullsec you might not even know what a 'renter alliance' is, so I can understand the confusion. It is what it is. vOv |

As a relatively new player, seeing information like this helps me to better understand the veteran player's point of view (and I'm not referring to the trolling obviously). I've only been playing since tyrannis, so the shear depth of what already is in game has kept me more than occupied. If there hasn't been any FiS content added since apocrypha, I can totally understand why incarnia angered so many. It added nothing, I don't even use CQ, i just stare the door.
To those veterans who are truly trying to help us understand the situation and improve it, I thank you. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has angered numerous people for many different reasons and is widely considered as a 'bad move'. |

i can see from your employment history that you're a newbie. so let me explain something to you about people in 0.0
not everyone in 0.0 is really a "0.0 alliance" per se. some of them are something we call "renters". they pay one of the real 0.0 alliances protection money and in return get to live in their space and carebear (hey.. nothing really wrong with that - we need carebears to build us ships and guns). some of them even pay enough that they get to hold sov. when you see "X Citizens" that's a renter alliance. not all of them use that naming convention.
you cannot properly count renters are part of the alliance. WiS is kinda cool and all, but FiS is more important.-á More FIS WORK! Nerf Supers, get the new backgrounds, buff assault ships, do the 0.0 balance, buff lowsec. and make a space pony! DUST SHOULD BE ON THE PC (a real platform!) GDI! I WILL NOT BUY A FQNG PS3 |

Thanks for that - I'll pass that information on to someone who values your condescending attitude.
I would really appreciate it if you could do me a pie chart showing the ratio of renters in the #1 alliance and then one showing the same for the #2 alliance. I am sure you have those exact figures to hand, what with you being so superior an' all.

>99% of Shadows members are renters. The alliance executor and other members of the executor corp will be XiX alts - basically they're the rent collectors.
In the narrowest pedantic sense, Mittens was incorrect to say that he led the largest alliance. In any sense that actually matters, he's spot on. In any case, it's trivial.

When you see new guys posting this it really proves our point. Been playing eve for 5 years, I have seen the best of CCP and how amazing they can be but sadly at the moment I think we are currently seeing the worst of CCP. They seem to have taken us EVE players for granted and assumed that we would keep paying our subs to fund any project that the wished to pursue.
EVE is an excellent game even though there has been no real updates to FiS in a long time; but the player-base (at least those of us who have been here for a while and have a great deal invested in the game) are worried about the future direction of EVE.
oh ps: Mittens <3 you, I didn't think anyone could galvanize the EVE community quite like this but you and the current CSM certainly have done your jobs well. |

Damn...Mittani sure is full of himself.
Can't say I disagree with him but at the same time I think Incarna does have it's place.
I don't miss a single player that left simply because of Incarna or Microtransactions.
I do agree that it is time for a full out space only expansion. More 0.0...more WH space...balance ships. New ships and update all the ships graphically at once. Lets see some more T3's. |

as for adding new systems? no please. the space we have is already under-utilized. make lowsec desireable to be in, and discourage huge powerblocs in nullsec.

I actually made that point in another post. Of course it is trivial. My point was, why open yourself to attack because of stupid oversights?
If he is going to effectively represent the player base he has to get it right, otherwise it is all too easy to drive a wedge in.

Not quite, I'm fine with them funding any project they want BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF EVE DEVELOPMENT.
That is the core of the problem. A subtle distinction, but an important one I think. |

A pie chart isn't really the appropriate format, but I can do you a bar graph

I'm completely missing something about this "war on the management of CCP". What if they simply ignore it? Say nothing and keep doing what they are doing in allocating resources?
The goal of the war is to get a better game by having more resources used on Eve. Helping to kill off subscriptions, lowering the resources available, does not seem to be a way to get that goal.
What am I missing? How can we pressure CCP, other than trying to kill the game we are trying to save? |

haha, it's funny because GSF and TEST currently have a combined total of 0 renters |

You might be missing a lot, since there's no 'war'. The CSM is exerting pressure as a community to try to get the management to allocate more resources to the game we all love - a SPACESHIP game.
The CSM has not called for unsubs, or for 'war'. I'd suggest you start reading primary sources, rather than hyperbolic summaries on eve-o. |

I think the simple answer to that is you cant, CCP will continue to dive towards the floor and Eve dies a slow and painful death. |

Historically CCP management is quite reactive to the press. See: Monoclegate, T20, Summer of Rage. It's actually the only consistently effective tactic that players have found to get CCP's management to change their course.
As much as you might want to wring your hands in hysteria, media pressure as an effective strategy is not new, and this is not the first time it has been deployed. |

The easiest way to pressure them is to kill their alleged new golden geese.. Those NEW players in the 0-7 month bracket that ccp are specifically targetting.
Make their game lives hell. You take ALL the fun out of the game from the day they sign up to the day they leave, and take away that which ccp desires the most. Gullible noobies prepared to fully support this Pay2win garbage.
When they are all over the forums screaming blue murder about how they are being "griefed" out of the game, then you can be assured ccp will listen. New subs flatline, ccp have to act fast to redress the tipping balance.... THEN they may listen to reason.
Anything else will just be ignored, deflected by CSM bootlicking as in the recent past, or just trampled over.... The purpose of life is not to make a living, but to make a difference... |

Then I'm right back to my original question: If all this activity to put pressure on CCP will not prevent the event of "Eve dies a slow and painful death", then why do it? Wouldn't it be better to spend our time figuring out something what would work? (No I'm not sure what that would be. The best Ive thought of is face to face meetings with the investors of CCP). |

There is just this slight issue with DUST already being announced to be released next year. I have no doubt CCP management will throw any and all resources at this for it to accomplish and getting them to prioritize differently in any greater level will be practically impossible.
