Hell yes. CCP is starting to look like EA before their image review. Raping everything they get their hands on for quick return.
I've got myself a deadline; I'll wait till summer (august) and if by then the most glaring issues aren't solved (hybrids, gallente, OP 1400's (seriously, arty abbadons!???), Stupid OP Supers that make all caps obsolete. Industry changes (UI..)) I'll just find a new game to play, or focus more on studying physics. I can only wait so long.
I really hate EA for ruining so many cool universes, now ccp is doing the same thing. It's the exact same path they're taking.
A bit frightening how much this represents my own view, really.
Let's just hope that after the n-th time, they listen. Statistics/past experience suggest otherwise, but here's to that thing, hope. --- Sig will be updated shortly |

Depends on how far up the chain it is. If it's a guy somewhere in the middle sooner or later he won't be able to scapegoat or spin the numbers or anything, and it'll come back to him.
If it's someone at the top...it might come back to them only in the form of the company going down in flames.
Trying to get an exec like that to see reason is much like trying to reason with a conspiracy theorist. They're so dead on certain that they're right that they just discount anything you say that contradicts them.

i kind of doubt it is related to the new share owners as posted above - afterall those were issued to fund dust514 (along with lots of money from eve ...) - meaning someone was already losing touch to the player base. anyway, i support akitas proposal.

statistics can be fooled. for example, if they count in the accounts that have received some kind of free gametime. how many would have just clicked on a email to reactivate for free?
plus.. do they count in the trial accounts which playtime last 14days?

Supported for the brief time CCP might listen before reverting back to stupid business logic that ignores common sense about this basic idea.

Can't do anything but support this. Any feature, new or old, is pretty worthless if it isn't good enough or doesn't work properly. It also greatly decreases the players enjoyment of the game, makes them look for other things to do and diminshes their trust in CCP's capability to deliver on any future feature/iteration of an old feature.
You aren't developing games in a void. You can either deliver competative features and gameplay experiences or you're going to get stomped on by the competition. CCP's attitude of "It doesn't matter if it's crap now, we can iterate on it later" is damaging the game. They simply don't ever iterate or develop their features to full potential. They do some basic bug fixing and usability tweaks and call it a day and move on to develop the next half finished feature. You're left with a game where there are tons of things to do, but everything is a bit lackluster, unbalanced and under developed or has obvious content holes.
Lately there have been signs that all of this might be changing, but the new forum fiasco shows that it might have been just a reaction to the complaints and subscription losses of last year instead of an actual change in development philosphy and thinking in CCP leadership.

That graph allegedly contains only paid-for active subs. Trial accounts and expired accounts not counted.
Originally by: Vaerah Vahrokha Here's my MS Paint approximation about the next months in EvE's subscriptions market, even if CCP changed their ways and approach to quality (players discontent inertia):
http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/2381/futuresubsu.jpg
As you can see the trend is exhausting (increasing volatility on the upper graph). The yellow lines show the slope changes in the "123 zig zag", the cyan are some areas of support or resistance. and getting more "whipsawing" which is another sign of trend exhaustion.
This trend will peak either at the current high or a next lower high (not drawn) then there will be a sharp drop down to the lower support. It will break because we will be in summer (low subs period of the year) and an even sharper drop will happen.
After a rebounce (typical bottom W formation), IF CCP changed their ways, they will slowly begin rising up (red line). If they stay as is, we'll see a further drop (blue line) to dynamic support and then who knows.
I'm almost hoping you're not right...

Supported. I came to this game because it was far more "finished" and stable than any MMO I've played before. I don't want it to lose that. -- "Far be it from me to stand in judgment. I prefer to sit." -Stephen Colbert |

I support the idea in OP. I don't have much else to say, other than that I was (unfortunately) correct about them forcing us out of our pods, which I don't like. Not at all. By the way, real men biomass when they emoragequit.

I find myself in the unfortunate position of agreeing with the mass of idiots. I've defended alot of CCP's decisions, like the whole 18 month thing, but for the sake of us all please do some security checking next time. There are two sides to the EVE community; those that scream for change and those that scream against it. Often they are the same person. |

Its sad when a developer doesn't understand what their game is about; stop taking us in the wrong directly and doing it in the wrong way. Please! __________________________

Agreed.
Unfortunately though, it seems to be a growing trend that companies don't listen to their customers, or even their lower ranking staff members, and just seem to blindly carry on with their 'management' view of the world :(
