I, myself, find this incident that CCP has caused such an uproar about a little offensive. And, though coming close to quitting, have chosen to stick it out for a little while longer to see what the new patch (not expansion, lets not lie to ourselves here!) brings to the game.
The fact that a feature that CCP backed and pointed out as a selling point, and which is a major benefit to the more adult player with family, work, and other real life commitments found more beneficial as they can still keep up with 12-15 year old game-addict playing every day and every hour he he has free made this game, in my and many others eyes, a cut above the rest. I myself have played Lineage 2, guild wars, ran and hosted a persistant world on Neverwinter Nights, a little on WoW, silkroad, City of Heros, and i would have to say this is the most blatent case insult to the players, and, as stated, in the longrun i can only see this hurting CCP financially.
we are not moaning n whining for the sake of it, we are merely pointing out that CCP cannot treat its players like braindead addicts and sheep. If you say something is a feature for 5 years, then when you choose to stop it, do NOT lie to your customers and say its a bug and we have been abusing it...words can be more deadly than any other form of weapon, and how do you think this whole fiasco has gone down from a PR standpoint? "dont bother with EvE, its buggy and the developers and owners lie to you and accuse you of cheating because you used something they said was there working as they intended it since it started!!!!" i myself have told many people asking me recenrtly if i think it worth playing 'No, dont bother trying it at the moment...give it a year or 2...'
I cant help thinking this is probably the most common reaction of most players at the moment, making the sudden advertising of the power of 2 promotion with free game time a bit coincidental due to the games current climate
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themself without that law is both. |
