But honestly, the only way how you can make CCP change their behaviour is to quit eve in masses for let us say 3 months and to say: "I'll be back in 3 months. If you haven't fixed it till then, i'll leave for another 3 months." And so on.. Find 10000 accounts whose owner would support you and quit their subscription for at least a month and you may have success with that...
THIS! (well said, Ag)
As the famous quote goes, "The time for talk is through.. Now is the time for action" (or something to that effect ) I left EVE about 6 or 8 months ago and decided I would only come back on occasion, just to see if things have been fixed (or even touched).... I've been back for about two weeks now (thanks in part to a "Please come back, we miss you! Here's a free week" e-mail) and as soon as my month is over (yeah, a week isn't long enough, I subbed for a month) I'll probably be gone again. A couple of recent Dev Blogs may sway me to stay, if they keep talking like they have been, but only for long enough to give them a chance to show they FINALLY get it
I LOVE this game and love the players, but the attitude is beyond my tolerance level.. I completely understand "quantity over quality" in MOST areas, but EVE is not that type of game.. EVE players are intelligent people. We don't play EVE for something pretty to look at for a few hours. We play EVE for a chance to live another life... If that life stays as screwed up as real life, we'll find another distraction (eventually)
My biggest fear is that CCP realizes this and they realize the most money can be made by attracting people who ARE impressed by shinnies, and in their bid to gain more shinny-lovers they will completely ruin what could very well be the best game ever created
Oh, and where's the "fix rockets" thread??
Thx for the support, though I would like to make something clear. I am not playing eve for the chance to live another life and I don't think that it is as screwed up as RL. Since at least my RL isn't srewed up at all. If I would need a chance to live another life, I would just change my RL.
I am not blaming CCP for screwing up my sci-fi fantasy world. Gaming is just a Hobby. But I like games which are "complicated" and force you to think a lot, to analyze, to think strategically. And I hate it when companys start to put quantity before quality. Unfortunately the most game developers do that. There are only few exceptions like Blizzard. This is when stupid mistakes start to happen, like the thing with PI, where every 2nd semester economics student could have told them that this is going to happen. The QM of CCP seems to be broken, since the "fix rockets" thread is already 1 year old and nothing has happened yet. They even failed to scale the capitals appropriately. CCP seem not to realize that their clientel ain't a bunch of teenagers. EVE clientel is demanding and wants quality. There is a nice example. Daimler-Benz tried to increase profits by decreasing quality in the 1990's. And it worked for a short period of time till the customers realized that they were buying expensive crap. After this short period of time (couple of years) the revenue of mercedes dropped dramatically and the costs for guarantee items increased at the same time. Maybe CCP needs to make their own experiences... ----- |
