Granted, my time in-game verses some who have been in longer than me might make this appear as the following views on protesting CCP are unwarranted or were pointless. But I ask you to read me out before you past judgement.
Let's all for a second place our views from behind the eyes of those in CCP job positions. The bottom line to ANY product is to make a Profit. So while this "Greed is Good" thing has caused ton's of problems, I respect it to a certain extent.
Players logged in, flooded systems and over-logged servers in protest. I applaud you all, you did SOMETHING to show disagreement.
But this is where you all faltered at. A real protest amongst Eve players shouldn't have been inside the game at all, because regardless of what the intent was, bottom line is what "Hilmar" stated in the infamous letter proved true. CCP anticipated that Eve players would take to the game to protest, and in essence allow their actions to show that "Yes, this is wrong but we love the game and will bend over as long as you call us in the morning"
Why hasn't no one thought of a TRUE protest of abstaining from even logging in for a day or two. If CCP walked into their offices Wednesday morning to a player count of under a 100(I believe it would be some die hard role players who would take FULL advantage of the day New Eden turned into a ghost town and lol I don't blame you) that would send more of a "We are NOT allowing you to kill out game" message then 30k+ players (who still were conducting missions, transactions, etc.) logging in a camping in systems shooting off fireworks.
The news letter has shown that CCP is already anticipating name calling, gripes and grunts. They are NOT anticipating people to truly protest the game. For if they did, they would suffer greatly in the pockets. What message do you think it would send current investors and potential investors? What do you think it would do to their budget prospects for next fiscal quarter? Everyone played right into the hands of CCP they betted against the house players would remain and although a couple thousand long time players have jettisoned their love for the game, many more stayed.
If we all want Eve back, let's do a real protest. *Cancel all training in skills queue *Recall all items you have placed on the market *Close down all POS *End all Mining Ops *Unpopulate all Null, Low-Sec & Wormhole zones *Stop doing missions
To those of you "rolling in the isk" and feel that only players who are "Broke" are the ones who are suffering from this. Know you play a bigger role in this bullcrap then you know. And just imagine this, how "Cool" is it to rub your snobbish lil noses in the faces of new players who are projected to only be a eve player for a couple of months. My how those monicules will look nice when the only one your showing it off to is yourself on a bare and desolate server.

In other words, protest in-game.

Then why hasn't anyone implemented this?
Alot of you all (and if it doesn't pertain to you then sorry) cry, b**** and moan about how wrong it is but your doing this all the while handing your hard earned RL Money over to CCP's big greedy palms. How can you be against **** while spreading your legs New Eden players??? Especially you long term day 1'ers

The left side of the graphs are recent dates.
Eyeballing the six months and longer graphs, seems to show a decline or downward trend in the number of online players.
----- Request for Eve Development Roadmap. Let CSM know that we want one.

I though it was evident my initial fix to the CCP problem. So I left out "And don't log in for a week" but add all of what you quoted to the "Don't log in for a week" an let's see how CCP acts then

àand the PCU graph looks pretty bad as well considering we just had an expansion.
People are already not logging to nearly the extent one would expect. ùùù ôWe want to try this thing called micro-transactions, but we don't know what it is. Can anyone explainà aw screw it, let's just do it! What could go wrong?ö ù ÇÇP |

Because most of the protesters are drama-***** morons looking for something to rage over and make themselves feel important. Shooting some irrelevant statue is a way to go about that without much effort or thought.
Anyone with half a brain that was genuinely angry just unsubbed or quit. |

We didn't just log in a shoot the monument, we also unsubbed en-mass. Now THAT put the ****s up CCP.
As Eve players, ocasionally we do actually think our strategies through...

The protests did what little they were supposed to, wether you like it or not. They made more people aware of what's going on, both in game and in RL. the protests were covered by the media and provided them with some pretty rainbow laser pictures to work with. Such images have a symbolic effect, even if the statue was just an indestructable bunch of pixels.

I agree! We shoulden't protest in-game, as CCP gives a ****! But if we protest everywhere but EVE we give CCP a bad rep and that will make em think twice before they act next time
PS. I dident read OP as I ain't in the mood for a wall o' text. My solution to micro-transactions/noble exchange and CCPs money problem! |

To be honest I think using remaining game time to protest in game can be just as affective as not logging in, what ultimately counts is if subscriptions are being renewed.
As for disposing of assets it's probably be more effective if people were to give it all away than to hoard it. That'd way you'd enrich the remaining players and reduce the need of some to buy PLEX to sell for ISK. Hoarding it on characters you retire just acts as another ISK sink in the game allowing CCP to sell in more PLEX.
Anyway that's my take on the theory. Feel free to try it out by sending me all your stuff.
