The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 00:41:00 - [1] I get the feeling this a knee-jerk reaction to the TC changes not working out for them.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 00:49:00 - [2] We should get BoB, NC and GS together and see how many times in a row we can crash Jita. Or better yet, just fill Jita with AFK players and not allow anyone else to enter the system.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:26:00 - [3] CCP, Over the last two years you have consistently made changes to the game that make combat, specifically combat in 0.0, unentertaining and every other aspect of the game mundane. I am unsubscribing my remaining accounts. A little birdie told me that you are thinking about randomizing moon mineral distribution every few months and T3 is going to be T2 with more overloading HP and slightly lower overloading bonuses. With the lack of innovation, TC changes and now the training change this game is no longer tolerable; This game has not been appealing for over a year. And to top off the whole mess you decided that lying to your players is acceptable. CCP, fix problems in your game and give your staff some PR training before introducing changes that encourage disillusioned players to quit.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:49:00 - [4] The biggest factor with this change is that this game is not very content rich. This change now forces paying for 30d+ days of the same content/ships when training BS V, BC V or any other high ranking skill. No other game is like that, not even Korean MMOs. And then add how stagnant CCP has made 0.0. This change is going to remove the last thing that made coming back after a break worth it. It looks like it time to start shopping for a new game.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 02:56:00 - [5] Originally by: CherryPoppin We all know what's happened to Iceland's economy, right? Completely and utterly destroyed! That's why they're making this money grab. It's not going to get you squat. This would make sense if we all payed in whatever worthless currency Iceland uses, but we don't.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 03:32:00 - [6] Edited by: The Ubernomicon on 14/10/2008 03:33:48 Here is a nice read about Icelanders and their terrible business sense. Highlight from the article: "IcelandÆs households also racked up debts amounting to 213% of disposable income. Britons and Americans owed just 169% and 140% of disposable income respectivelyùfigures that make them seem almost sober by comparison." What do you expect from people that believe in elves and pile rocks in their yards for the elves to live in.

What do you expect from people that believe in elves and pile rocks in their yards for the elves to live in. So we're paying for Icelandic ignorance? I was under the impression that CCP paid employees in ISK which is currently equivalent to shit but collects USD and Euros, so unless they have reacted by giving employees massive raises they should be making additional profit. The ISK collapse is pricing their Icelanding employees on par with outsourcing computer work to India, except without having to actually move anything. That makes sense, but I suspect that all of the money CCP was getting from subscriptions they put in to local banks to take advantage of the "booming" Icelandic economy. This would explain the sudden need for immediate (re)subscriptions.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 18:59:00 - [8] I just called David Fialkow and left a message expressing discontent with the direction CCP has been taking in recent months. I made it clear that CCP is no longer offering a service that is worth paying for and that the disconnect entirely due things CCP are and are not doing. I would post a list of CCP's Board of Directors along with their phone numbers, but I would probably be banned for posting public information.

The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 19:55:00 - [10] It looks like a mod is going trough the thread and editing posts and not leaving any notice of the edits. A mod changed the embedding of this img to a link: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m128/skyl3lazer/whocares.png * the posting of images is not allowed on the forum - CCP Fallout

The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 20:16:00 - [11] Refers to moderated post, the image in question is not constructive - Mitnal
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 20:32:00 - [12] Originally by: Shar Tegral Refers to moderated post - Mitnal The only reason you don't want that image displayed is that it is makes light of CCP's terrible customer service and the recent direction they have been going. Every time I've seen that image I've reported it. It breaks the forums - I use disabled software to assist me in reading the forums. Also it unnecessarily eats up bandwidth that I don't care to share with you. (You do know that metered service exists in many locations yes?) That being said, I lol'd the first time I saw it. That's the only lol you got. Still reported it the first time I saw it and have reported every forum breaking image or post made. And I have read every post so far in both thread-naughts. Please, to boost my ego, suggest I work for CCP. I don't think you could issue a greater insult to CCP than to make that suggestion. (They love me even less than the emo-ragers/quitters/trollers.)[/justify] CCP added the ability to hide images. I recommend you check your forum settings.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 20:57:00 - [13] Originally by: Freezehunter I am with CCP on this one... I've been playing eve for almost two years and i've never had more than one Account and this character... Iceland is going through very tough financial problems and CCP is icelandic, so i understand their reasons... Also, all you *****s with 3+ ccounts, stop being so full of bull, you have billions of ISK and ENORMOUS advantages over someone like me, with only one account, like scouts, cyno alts, mining help, etc... Now you can stop being greedy **s in the game and spend your billions on GTC's for your alt accounts and stop ghost training... You want more accounts? PAY for more accounts... I couldn't afford more than one, and i only played on one... And for all those that wanna leave, fine, and send me your stuff, i am struggling to get money for cap ship skills anyway... More like "OWNED Alliance".
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.14 21:06:00 - [14] Before the TC changes I had 4 accounts; I kept each of the subscribed 75% of the time. Occasionally a long skill like Cruiser V, BC V or AWU V would come up and I would unsub while it trained. Being able to get past a long training hump, like AWU V, without having to pay is what kept me coming back. After the TC changes I have only kept 2 accounts active about 50% of the time. After the this change I will not be resubscribing any of my accounts. My decision to not resub is not entirely because of the upcoming change, but because CCP has not fixed glaring problems that have been around for over a year. 0.0 is still stagnant, titans make fleet combat unenjoyable and only increase the NEED to blog, cyno jammers used in conjunction with jump bridges force attackers to fight capitals with sub-capitals. This game is an uninteresting stagnant mess right now and this is straw that broke the camel's back.
The Ubernomicon Eight year old girls GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.10.15 00:07:00 - [15] I, for one, am still not going to resubscribe. Being able to take a break on any one of my accounts and be able to come back to new ships and skills was the only thing that made this time grind acceptable. This change essentially forces customers to pay a minimum amount of money if they want to fly a specific ship. This is not a change in policy that I can accept.
