OK so a LITTLE bugfix is not important, even though it is a fix (according to them) ... That makes no sense.
Jesus dude, you ever play Eve? There are millions of little "bugs", flaws, imbalances and gaps that need fixing, or tweaking, or removing. As time (sometimes years) goes by they generally get fixed or changed.
But, instead of it, let's prepare for ambulation, planet flights and other upgrades to eve... ;/
Every piece of software you use has "small bugs", no computer program is flawless.

In all honesty, I can't believe why people are getting so upset...
Ok so 48hrs was short notice, yes I agree with that. But the change is needed, it was unfair to those who activly pay to play, this will stop character farming, and will reduce GTC prices due to fewer accounts.
I believe this is for the best, those dedicated to the game will stay, those who no longer get a free ride will leave.
CCP could have implimented this stealthly, but decided to share it...
FFS its just a game, yes a game where my hard earned money goes, but RL issues have dramatically changed and companys have to protect themselves. If that is the reason.

lol, I can't believe people are complaing about a company a) Increasing prices, b) stop giving things away for nothing.
The Real World is in a crisis finacially. Every company is strugling to make money with the increase of costs. People are reducing their spending. Companys have to change their business model to match the economics of the system. So yes maybe CCP are doing this to raise more money or to cut overheads in some way. Either way companys adapt or fail and are never seen again.
We got something for free, and I guess those (including me) who have alt accounts like to slip them inactive but make sure a long skill is training when we need extra cash in our hands. This is CCP's way of the same thing, we need extra cash, remove a feature to force people to pay, or cut overheads and allow these accounts to die.
Yes its sh*ty, yes the customers are to suffer, but I wouldn't like to see a company fail just to please its customers. |

What is happening now is a called a MONEY GRAB. Which makes me nervous, since in many respects a MONEY GRAB in corporations usually comes ahead of some severe financial trouble, and usually, the MONEY GRABs do not work for the corporations because their customers will only make their financial situation worse by leaving.
I have the same impression.
They can perhaps pay the light bills for another month or 2 with this stunt but when the revenue stream dries out they'll find themselfes in the need of firing non-vital employees and perhaps even putting the development of WoD on hold.
I once considered CCP a company I could work for. Now I find myself wondering if they could actually affort my skills.
If the company was that hard up on money then this is a sad attempt at raising cash, firstly they would cut over heads by paying off non-essential employees, then reduce costs in some way. This removal will not raise anymore cash, infact its likely the income will drop if emoragequiters actually quit. |
