Also i was using free Eve Industrialist accounts as a sort of "thank you" prize for GrieferGeddon (anti-hulkageddon resistance contest that made the eve news) participation because poor as i am from coding instead of mining i had nothing else to give out. Now that they will be free they will also be worthless even as such. Maybe I'll manage to mine enough that i can give out 1m to everyone instead.
I will continue to work on my eve related apps because mining and coding is just what I DO in this game. But i will from now on prioritize mining over coding. I will not allow my mining lasers to die or take weeks away from mining to work on a piece of code I really enjoy. (A day or two at the most)
user restrictions on both my apps will go away soon. (but not too soon -- as I won't be taking time away from mining to fix this)
This is a sad day for me.
If it makes you feel any better, there won't BE any more hulkageddon either if they do this.
I'm not willing to pay 99 dollars to provide content for THEM to make more money off of either.
EVE online is a crap game with no content beyond the content that WE, the PLAYERS, generate.
Nobody plays EVE for their s h i t PvE content, or "balanced" PvP content.
People only come to this game for the stories. We are the people that make the stories, we are the people that create the content that pays for CCPs rent.
This disrespect and stupidity will need to end soon, or there will be no more stories.
Ever.
I have to call shenanigans, bro.
I play EVE for the PVE. I love shooting the pirate ships that spawn one wave after another. I love feeling like a spaceborne god when I slaughter thousands of ships a day. I love raking in the money as a result. Incursions are awesome; I can't get enough of them, and the friends that I meet in the public channels while doing the Incursions are a great bonus!
PVP? I may be in a PVP corp in a 0.0 PVP alliance, but I can't PVP to save my life. I mean, I have a few cheap kills from my stealth bomber, when I just so happened to land on a red frigate gang on a gate. Bombs away! But, aside from that, my killboard's efficiency rating is so far into the red that only solo killing a faction-fit carrier could bring it back up.
It ****es me off to see bitter old veterans like you say stuff like "Waaaaaah the game is breaking because CCP wants to X, which is mutually exclusive to what I want it to be with Y, woe is meeeeeeee!".
But, in the end? I don't give two craps. So a few hundred people will leave the game. Not a single thing will be lost. TEST Alliance will still be here. NC will still be here. So will Goons, Red Alliance, IRC, PL, etc. The game doesn't revolve around how you react to a damned devblog.
By the way, you pay for monthly internet, monthly phone/cellular, monthly EVE subscriptions (If you don't make that PLEX in time, that is), monthly water/sewage/electricity/cable, you pay for your grocery trips, home payments, car payments, etc.
What's $99 USD a year to anyone? Let's do some math here: $99 / 12 months = $8.25
That's less than a WoW subscription. Way, way less. In fact, I don't think there's a game on the market with a monthly pay rate that costs that little. I could be wrong, though.
Suck it up. If you don't like it, you can always switch to WoW. I hear it's easier. Less tears.
TL;DR Less QQ, moar pew pew
BTW, if you end up quitting, I'll totally have your stuffs.
DIAF haters.
