This is just so much bullshit I don't know where to start.
You want to talk about unfair ?
You think it's fair I can't use my sub on RL Holiday or business trip ? Your still getting paid sub for time I can't play.
You think it's fair some people can spend 10 hours a day online while others can only manage 10hours a week online ?
You want to start screwing us over like this then it's about time you start billing actual in game time and ditch the subscription for good. Pay to play.
Not got the balls tho, have you.
Well, I admit I ghost train long skills, I've always re-subscribed. Maybe I won't next time.

If people could be less inflammatory and more constructive, we've a better chance of CCP listening to us.

From the blog:
Quote:
we were essentially supporting and maintaining a large number of customers that weren't paying us regular subscriptions. That's not fair towards CCP as a service provider and it's not fair towards other players that pay a subscription
I mentioned this in an earlier post but I want to bring up this issue about fairness.
As a casual player I pay my 2month GTC same as any other player. However due to work and RL stuff I may only get what 5-6 game hours a week out of my subscription. Others may get 10-12 hours a week or more. I'm effectively paying double per hour actually played, subsidizing others who are on-line while I cannot be. Do you really think that's fair to me ?
Ghost training goes some way to make up for that. If CCP don't want casual players like me then let them say so. There's other games out there for me to play.
Until we pay per hour online don't talk to me about what is fair. |

So because you CHOOSE not to use your subscription, CCP should give you free stuff? I'd like you to try to make that argument with an auto rental company....
"Well, I've not used the car I leased from you as much as I could, so I think you should give me some free gas!"
And no, if you like spaceship MMO's there AREN'T any other MMO games for you to play 
It's not so much a choice as simply not having the time. And yes I may choose to ditch Eve with this change as it's simply not worth the sub anymore. There are other things besides spaceships ;)
But to use the auto rental example is completely wrong. You pay a fixed fee because while that resource (the car) is with you, it cannot be given to anyone else to generate revenue.
With Eve, no resource is being drained while a player is off-line. CCP lose nothing.
As another example (a better one). You can get a DVD rental deal where you pay a sub for unlimited rentals. If your a heavy user this works out well. If your not then it's not great value. For this reason a lot of DVD rental companies provide a credit system where you pay a low fixed fee per rental. Maybe CCP should give it some thought. |

Just downloading Wow and was reading the player guide.
Seem like in Wow they treat their casual players with bit of respect:
Quote:
Most players will be in the Normal experience tier most of the time. The Rested tier is primarily intended for players that take a day or more off from playing or are very casual with their play schedules. This has enabled us to greatly reduce the experience necessary for all players to level regardless of which rest state tier they play under.
So CCP talk about fairness, but should learn a less on from Wow.

Well since I let my account lapse, CCP sent me a 5 day extension to tease me back in. Might as well use it, but no it's not going to make me resub. After this I'll prob play WoW and maybe resub a couple of months when the next content turns up. |
