CSM members,
Please take this with you to the meeting and remind CCP they have already been caught in the MT lie. The image below shows that they (CCP) have demonstrated they will say whatever they feel they need to placate the masses. Much like Hilmar's leaked email---- "We will stay the course".

"We do not have plans to" in no way translates to "We will never".

Originally by: Khamelean "We do not have plans to" in no way translates to "We will never".
Agreed.. however, this is the same message that CCP is trying to placate the crowd with now. See their Dev Blog: "However, just to prove the point of the Fearless newsletter and give you a further understanding of what it is then there are no and never have been plans to sell "gold ammo" for Aurum. In Fearless people are arguing a point, which doesn't even have to be their view, they are debating an issue. This is another example of how information out of context is no information at all."
Now, here is a quote from the newsletter. Note that this quote is from page 9 after the comments by the 2 Devs. The title for the article is ---EVE: Delivering the goods: virtual sales in Incarna
Read the page..... It is not their to foster debate. It is a statement of fact for what CCP has planned.
"CCP is in the process of adopting a virtual sales model for its game products. While this model has always been intended for World of Darkness and DUST 514, you may be wondering how this will work in EVE Online. Specifically, how will this new strategy unfold in Incarna?"
"Not all virtual purchases will focus on customization: some will simply be new items, ammunition, ships, etc. that can be purchased outright."
"One other service weÆre looking at is selling faction standings."
"So we might sell tiny things or batches of consumable goods for just a few ômicro- PLEX,ö but we would have the option to sell premium content and services at a much higher price point."
"Thus, we will not and cannot focus on virtual sales only within the Incarna environment, nor build that environment around such sales; rather, we will effect a universal strategy of micro-sales throughout the EVE experience."
Sure sounds like they have plans for it to me!
Zulu's latest blog is BS.

Here is a quote from the full version of the document. Not the stripped down version that was posted in eve24, seemingly for no other reason thatn to create a fuss and generate pages views. Classy establishment that one.
Quote: The views put forward in this magazine do not refl ect general CCP company policies or decisions and are strictly individual opinions, written by CCPers or about CCPers who feel strongly about these issues. This is confi dential internal information. lease respect that every company has its trade secrets and that you are privy to those at CCP.

Thanks for linking the unedited document. I already have it saved as do much of the player base for later I told you so's when CCP lies again...
That statement is in damn near every company document on the planet and is used for a general escape clause for crap-storms like this.
Also, it is designed to apply to the inteviews with the Dev's such as CCP Sound of your wallet draining and CCP John the Hero.
The article on page 9 clearly states what CCP's intentions for the future of MT is for Eve.
Just like it clearly states this: CCP Sreegs aka Sean Conover moved to Iceland from the US east coast in September 2010 to become part of the company whose game heÆs played for the past 6 years. SeanÆs favourite thing to do on a weekend is sleep, though you wonÆt catch him snoozing on the job. As Senior Security Administrator he polices mischief makers both within EVE as well as at CCP.
and this: First, we donÆt want to glut the virtual market with too many offers right out of the gate. Instead, we want to provide a steady stream of digestible goods and services over a long period of time, allowing customers to sample and purchase as they get used to the new model. We want to cater to long-term customers who will gradually acquire a taste for our wares.
Pretty damn clear the "WE" means CCP as a company. No get out of jail free card here CCP. Wrong Game!

Edited by: Khamelean on 26/06/2011 23:12:30 So...
When you read an internal document taken out of context; they're liars and they are plotting against you.
When you read multiple official statements expressly targeted at quelling your fears; they're liars and they are plotting against you.
No wonder CCP is having such a bad day.

Dev alt, Newly hired PR firm employee or just someone who drank way too much of the kool-aid?????
The useless blogs from Zulu and Pann said absolutely nothing as an FYI.

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=lastposts&cid=1266404672 <------ Hey CCP kiss are asses. You will NOT get your way on this one nor will you force it on us. You make make alts just to try and change are minds, but itll never work. The subs will keep cancelling till your microtransactions are gone. Eve is NOT the type of game this can work because it revolves around the economy and players making everthing. You start poping things out your ass and you eliminate the players then economy crashs and wallets talk. REMEMBER CCP MOST PLAYERS HAVE 2-12 ACCOUNTS! So yo really dont have 350k players, 200k at max. but probally down to 100k atm. CSM's we the community DO NOT WANT ANY FORM OF A MICROTRANSACTION SYSTEM and WE WONT COMPROMISE! We will however accept a 5-10 increase in are subs to give ccp their milk so they can keep working on projects, my advice to CCP STOP STARTING NEW PROJECTS WHEN IN MMOS POP CHANGES AND YOU NEED TO PLAN AND THINK THINGS THROUGH BETTER!. also csm's please demand incarna be fixed immeaditly or removed as its kicking most folks pc's asses atm. If you the csm's give in to ccp and say ok to MT then you are not speaking on behalf the community and may god have mercy on your souls when we get ahold of ya :-) Have a nice flight!

I'm with Khamelean. I'm not an alt of a dev, I don't work for CPP, I just play the game. This is an alt I rarely use, just training skills.
All I know for a fact is, with Incarna, this new Noble store shows up and I can buy clothes for my space barbie at an outrageous price. Then this leaked newsletter shows up, and everyone treats it like it's the Eve game plan. The presentation on Eve News was extremely propaganda worthy, only taking a few pieces of the newsletter and the general tone of the piece is for you to be against what is, at this point, purely speculation.
Everyone take it down a notch until there is real proof that this is the direction that CPP is going down. Then we can all quit en-masse if this is true.

Everybody lies!
MT is the way forward to attract new players to an otherwise stale and dated game before the game kicks the bucket. It's called BOOST in trade speak. It's a money grab before the end. The end being potentially a couple of years out once the MT sales die down. That's the reality of the situation.

^^ Possibly one of the most intelligent posts in all of the forums...

They didn't actually lie (and incase you didn't read the other replies in this thread - they certainly didn't break any promises either as they never actually made a promise in the first place... they merely said it wasn't their plan.. plans change)

Perhaps "We have no plans to" translates roughly to...."We hadn't thought of that yet, but now that you mentioned we can charge for it, we'll add it to the queue"
+1 for community involvement.
