I love it when people make these brilliant posts. You do realize that if all the carebears were to quit, Eve would shut down within a month, right?

So? If people don't want the hassle of running missions, just quit, don't whine, it is CCP's game, if they want to spank missiles then good for them... There are other games than EVE for people who want a more casual gameplay to play y'know. ---

Back in the day Eve used to get ~6K people at peak time. Even with that it still made enough money to develop and expand or we wouldn't be here right now. Sure CCP would be unhappy but you'd have to lose A LOT of people to get into "last one out switch off the lights" territory.

My account expires in exactly one month after I canned it .. I just got bored of eve after 4 1/2 years .. Can't be bothered really, the missile spanking just took my interest away.. But it's CCP's choice, probably a good move for them actually to hit missiles .. But it just made me realise how mind numbing high sec life is...
But as I don;t have time for low sec life right now I will see how things go next year..
As for CCP ... Meh, maybe a few less carebear whiners (like me) would be a good thing. ---

Back in the day CCP did not employ over 400 people at three locations. I'm doubting 6k players would cover much payroll/rent these days.

Oh I dunno, I think if say 10k or 20k deadweight Carebears quit it won't affect things that much .. ---

And for all the OMGZ CCP dies! Ye..sorry buds. History have proven otherwise. This is nothing compared to what we have been through. And you know what? EvE continues to GROW.

LOL. Just think of the bandwidth costs they would save from all these whine posts .. But in all reality, if people who play this game for a quick mission here and there (there is quite a few of them) and they no longer see the reason for logging in and playing that way anymore then more power to them to quit.
There are plenty of games out there that will cater for that type of play .. Lets face it there was a reason why so many people flew ravens .. Take that reason away and maybe people will see how dull missions really are underneath and go play something that isn't as dull, becasue they certainly will not be going to low sec .. It's not the way they want to play the game.
So the hardcore people win and get rid of carebears, carebears win by playing something that doesn't dull your mind quite as much. Win all around. ---

Yeah, so they'd have to scale back development a lot(some people might see this as a blessing the way things have been going recently). That's not the same as shutting down within a month.

Suuuuure, what a great idea. Come across something you don't like in a game you've been playing for years and invested thousands of hours in... "Just Quit"
For **** sake, DO NOT come on the discussion forums to ... um... dare I say.... discuss the issue. That would upset Grainsalt, who I have to add has chosen a name in reference to this size of his brain, or some other part of his anatomy.

Yeah, carebears quit... CCP release ambulation... Carebears come back and sit in bars getting drunk and talking about ****ing eachother in animal suits.
NOT IN MY EVE.
And anyway, I'm sure they'll just rebalance all the weapons again so nothing is actually "GOOD" and its all pretty much the same damage in different methods.
Hate to compare, but consider the Rogue in WoW. That ****er has obscene damage, is invisible, can stun you so you can't move or attack.. and will literally kill you in 5 hits.
If he gets the first hit in, you are truely ****ed. Rogue hasnt been nerfed. Okay maybe hes been nerfed in some way or another, but hes still a complete **** in PVP and damn near unbeatable unless you see him coming.
There isnt this kind of imbalance in eve, because as soon as someone finds a combo that gets the upper hand, it gets slapped back down into mediocrity.
So those getting ****ed about the missiles, don't you worry. Soon they'll just rip the guts out of something else to make it all nice and balanced for you.

Yeah it would be awful if EvE had to survive with the subscriberbase it had in 2006.

oooh Ice burn m8, retoreted, you win ... Why shouldn't people be allowed to quit? If they think they don't like the game anymore why not? It's their call, if they played JUST to spank out missiles easily and they don't want to put the effort in then fine ..

If you play Eve just to run missions I can recommend some cheap brands of paint to watch while drying if you cancel.

This is exactly my point for anyone who didn't get it .. Removing the fluffy warm cosy gloss of missiles in PvE (raven) now will maybe see that a bit more clearly .. ---

I love the stealth-whines over missile changes:
----------------------
"Well, I guess I'll be leaving now." <looks over shoulder>
"Really appreciate the great game CCP... just wish those missile changes could be reversed so I didn't have to go. <fake tear>
Of course, it's your game... I'm just the player." <sadly looks at shoes>
"I'll miss you." <sighs>
"Ok... this is it. I'm leaving now. I really mean it this time. This is goodbye." <hovers at door>
-----------------------
I'm going to make this easier for you... ok?
Get out. Soon would be good; now would be better. You will not be missed. Eve's economy won't collapse. CCP will survive.
Come back when you've grown up and can accept and respond to change.

Even if they quit with the game they will eventually come back anyway. Because in every other game they get killed/destroyerd & have to begin all over again.
Just wait a little while & this wining is over.
Ah, for those who said CCP wasn't paying attention to the playerbase. I did not see a large topic like the blasters that you didn't agree on the chance. Its your own bloody fault you didn't go on SISI & tested out lvl4 missions.
BTw, I still think you have a Drake & the Paladin.

Except for CCP, of course. More power to the quitters, means less power to CCP. A point you sort of acknowledge, but continue to skirt around.
Anyway, if I don't renew my accounts when they expire in march, it won't be because of a missile nerf, or any other balance change.

The current financial situation in Iceland could mean *since there are no longer banks that can offer lines of credit* this situation could come true. In a month, no, Over the course of 3 to 4 months with a high percentage sub loss each of those months, possibly. Its too soon to say but only time can tell. In addition I have no clue what type of outside funding CCP has so I am most likely wrong. *yes I know I will be flamed to hell and back for this* ZOMG Communism! |

Why would CCP need outside funding from an Icelandic Bank? They're bringing in a large foreign currency income, and most of their outgoings are in Icelandic Kroner. They can employ Icelandic programmers for about 1/2 what it would have cost them to do so a few months ago, relative to the value of a ú/$/Euro subscription. A large part of their cost base just reduced dramatically. Whilst I'm not saying that they'd want to lose subs - that would be crazy - they can certainly afford to do so.

Jeeze Malcanis. Get with the program. Didn't you hear? Missiles were nerfed and now Eve will most certainly close up shop within a month.
Those mission-running Ravens were the only thing keeping Iceland going. <sniff>

I love how carebears always think that without them there would be no EVE.
Guess what, you're wrong.
There is a difference between carebears and people who PvE to be able to PvP.
By all means, quit the game :) Less useless lag from people like you who do nothing but sit in your 3 man corp farming L4 missions crying about stuff on the forums. -------------- I R Not Completely Amazing, But I R Mostly Amazing |
