Julius Kashmir Mutinous Renaissance Fighters Vaccaei Imperial	Posted - 2008.05.24 09:15:00 - [1] Originally by: Val Vympel Originally by: Eevul Rabbite The answer is simple. 3. Do what most companies do and take the effects of weak dollar on yourself, without alienating any customer groups. In other words, adjust the prices to industry standards... I know it's not going to happen though, because it would mean lowering the price of EU subscription and less income, while the current solution, even if they lose some % of customers, will eventually yield the same or more income. As a business owner myself for the past 21 years and as a consumer I see both sides of this issue. Over the course of the past 21 years I have had to adjust my business strategy due to recession and market trends on several occasions. As a measure of absolute last resort and with great loathing,there were simply times when I could not avoid passing the costs off to the consumer. As a business owner myself I believe that CCP should be more forthcoming and honest about this matter.(without compromising themselves to their competition) However... I also believe that the playerbase should be far less cynical and self centered. At the end of the month like all of us..the employees of CCP have mortgages to pay,food to buy and children to clothe...for CCP it is an issue of economic viability...for the playerbase it is an issue of perhaps giving up an alt or two. The two situations are not morally equivalent. Like many situations in life... "Somedays you get the bear,somedays the bear gets you." Cheers Obviously you missed the lesson of business success, "the customer is always right." I.E. if you DONT have a customer you don't have a business and the way ccp continues to annoy and **** of it's player base with moves like this and it's mimic of WoW instanced base pvp, it's no wonder EVE hasn't grown to eve a fraction of the fame and height WoW has but EVE has originality and until recent moments has been up there w/ blizzard setting standards and now are regressing and following blizzards footsteps. It's only a matter of time until players start quitting CCP.
