While we thank you veteran players for making this game what it is today, for providing the necessary funding and word-of-mouth marketing that made CCP a successful company in the MMO scene, for developing EVE's economy, for creating a plethora of OOG websites and resources to stimulate gameplay, for creating lots of player-driven content within the game, for sticking up for the core integrity of the game when it is challenged by errors in judgement, for keeping the game's community alive even when bad changes do go through, for teaching new players the intricacies of the game, for the massive real-life charity efforts undertaken by your in-game wealth, for being responsible for the unique success of the world's only open-ended sci-fi spaceship MMO, and for many other reasons that cannot be mentioned here due to the constraints of space and time, we feel that it is time for you to leave.
We may be new, but we have a lot of opinions and ideas that are superior to anything you may believe in, because we are the new, enlightened, tolerant generation, and own iPhones. We know what is best for EVE, beyond anything that you might know. We have Facebook accounts and make good use of Twitter, and are thus very well-versed in the functions of social environments such as EVE Online. Our experience with mining and group-running level two missions provides us with superior credentials for dictating the direction of the game's development, because a focus on developer-made content demonstrates a true understanding of game mechanics. Our understanding of morality is that of the elite echelons of human society, of people who are responsible for all of the modern world's progress and prosperity.
But most importantly, we are entitled to get what we want because we are paying customers. In fact, if you do not leave by your own volition, we ask that you be expelled from the game by force, because your presence is clearly detrimental to the game's existence.
