It has long since stopped being about the "Ghost Training"*. People will live without it even though I myself used it regularly on my main/only account. It's simply about how poorly CCP treats its customers.
Had this change been announced in a batch of other fixes, with an implementation date of a week or two away, there wouldn't have been anything like the scale of outrage. Instead, it was done in a "Guess what, here's some surprise *********, have a nice day." way that has pretty much demonstrated how little CCP management actually cares about the playerbase.
I myself have sat for 4 days considering my course of action, since my account was closed when this was announced (30 day skill, and a much-needed sanity break from Eve) and have decided I will give it 60 days before I fully make up my mind. It's just another nail in the coffin for me really. Warhammer beckons.
I imagine that whoever made this decision has told ALL CCP staff to stay WELL away from this thread, at least with their official characters, on pain of being put in the streets of Reykjavik with an "I caused the economic collapse" sign around their neck. That implies the decision came from pretty high up, or was at least endorsed by someone who is.
No doubt there's plenty of staff who don't agree with the way this has been (mis)handled, but who are simply not in a position to do anything about it.
*interesting term for it BTW CCP, kudos to the dev that thought that up. Sounds menacing and evil. I suppose simply calling it "Inactive Training" would have been far harder to demonize.
edit: Haha, even that term is censored.  |

I just started and wondered what this Ghost was. Training was long. Seeing how expensive this game is to play, with other MMO's out there, my 14-day trial would probably be it.
Nice try, if it wasn't for the fact that trial accounts can't post. EG, you paid.

Even if you factor in the possibility that only 75% of players are actually paying, (others are paying with isk)....
It's been stated before, but GTC's paid for with ISK are still bought by players for "real" money first. Hence, 100% of active accounts are paid for, if not necessarily by their owners.

And still no response to the playerbase ????
You can take the deafening silence as a response of a sort. The most disdainful response, a kind of "We don't owe you anything, just shut up and pay your sub, peons."

The API has always been disabled for unsubbed accounts.
False. I regularly let my main (and only) account close when I did not have the inclination or time to actively play. The API let me keep an eye on my wallet balance to see what had sold.
It was disabled probably 2 or 3 months ago for closed accounts. It'd be pure speculation, but it's possible CCP were testing the waters with that change to see what they could do before people screamed. |
