I'm posting with my main because this may have a large effect on whether or not I continue to play EVE because the other people I play this game with oppose this idea with so much fervour that IÆll have no reason to play the game anymore. Also before I make a huge wall of text IÆll sum it up.
1) I donÆt disagree with the change
2) I donÆt what they call it
3) The only thing that matters is how itÆs implemented, what happens and why.
The reason I donÆt disagree with the change is because if I train a long skill letÆs say Titan 5 but have paid sub before I thought of training that but someone else paid in small enough chunks we both take the same base time to train the skill even when the other guyÆs account has gone inactive, now I must say every should think thatÆs even a little unfair. Also if this causes an increase in profit that means (if the company is in debt) they can pay it off and not get ****ed by the economic crisis or they have more money to upgrade the server otherwise or buy someone like CONCORD some more donuts.
The reason I donÆt care what they call it is because I donÆt need someone else to stick a label and denounce it good or evil for me to make up my own mind. LetÆs for example take a war. People die, period, it doesnÆt matter what we say about it people still die. You can call it a bug being fixed or a feature being removed it still doesnÆt make it different.
The only thing that happens is why they did it, what it does and how they did it. If itÆs because they want to make more money, all power to them, remember CCP is not some special entity that makes the game for the good of the people, they make it for cold hard cash. ItÆs a business, a firm or whatever you want to call it. How itÆs implemented matters to, for instance I personally disagree with the lack of warning and the race to implement this without prior discussion, which does hint at possible financial difficulties inside the company. Also finally the why of it matters, now if you think before to the 2nd point I make I said I donÆt care what they call it, this is a bit different (just in case). If you letÆs say change the functionality of a module, like the disputed energized regenerative membrane, just because the name suggest different functionality youÆre an idiot. If CCP is doing this to earn money for the game and company ok theyÆre a business if theyÆre doing this to recover or protect themselves from an economic crisis ok, if theyÆre doing this because they truly do believe itÆs unfair and disadvantages other players good, but if theyÆre doing this just to screw with you or because they felt like then itÆs bad.
Finally I do think however this is financially a bad idea in the long run. Now IÆm not going to give a run-down in numbers but from the looks of things the amount gained from the activation of account due to skill training may not cover the costs of the drop of subscriptions in the first place.
P.S. No you canÆt have all my stuff if I leave itÆs all dying in PvP including my PvE ships, including mining ships, well maybe not that far in case I want to come back but still NO!
