Originally by: 10of10 Edited by: 10of10 on 16/10/2008 23:30:43 They are reading this and it hasn't made a difference. They have even tried to hide it away, so I don't think they will listen to written complaints.
You say that, but CCP can't ignore two thousand letters at their office front door. |

In terms of pro-arguments, I'd just throw my weight in behind CCP's own arguement. The counter arguements seem to me to amount to, "Give me my free sh*t back." You're paying for a service, and as far as I'm concerned, the service provider is free to adjust the terms of that service at any point. You can voice your dissatisfaction and leave.
You know what the Atari retail box will symbolize to me?
This is CCP gearing up for a new wave of players they know they need.
People who will come fresh into eve and know nothing of any CCP fiasco.
It's good to know that they have plans beyond the current alienated user base.
We have no right to feel as important as the new folk CCP wish to attract to eve.
The game is changing, and it's not for the current eve users, but for players of CCPs future.
You don't like the changes? Well maybe they were not meant for you, but the people yet to join.
"A new vision of eve is being assembled & now you know why you no longer feel apart of it."

I don't like the idea of someone thinking I abuse eve or any of it's game features by simply making use of them. Especially when it causes no harm to anyone but myself, not to make use of 'said feature.'
So what? An honest paying eve member would go on a break and think to themselves, 'Nope, not gonna set a long skill. Just wouldn't be honest. Say what I'll do is I'll actually pay for that account and never log on till said skill is complete.'
It is hard to not feel bereaved about something that has been around since forever. Even more so when a change prevents skill points/character progression.

Squirrrel I was just wondering...
...what do you think the total reply count might drop by if your account(s) had suspended before the blog was ever put up?
Bearing in mind the replies to your replies I'll take a stab at 500 ^^

Squirrrel?
I just wanted some light banter and their personal opinion.
Seems as though another person saw it as an attack at you. Bless.
There was no hostility meant to be implied by my question. I thought the person it may concern would also laugh about it.
C'mon it's gotta be high.

All in all, if your arguments about widespread emoragequitting had been true, we'd see it in the numbers. We don't
There are people who have posted here, with several accounts, who like to pay for their accounts in advance. These people have already said they are waiting for their accounts to run dry as they feel upset and ashamed about how CCP have gone about this whole thing. Some of these players used training during gap breaks, others said they never used it.
Both users and non-users of this ex-feature are upset with CCP, the way the move came about, and the time it was implemented; right at the end of a Power of Two offer.
Such players would have left eve long ago, had they been given advance warning of CCP plans. They may have been more cautious with their monthly subs. You save cash paying for the longer stints of game time, but also you can't vote with your feet when something such as this leaves such a bitter taste in your mouth.
We will also have players coming back from their break having paid for X amount of days upon reactivation of their account. Yes... soon they realise 'wtf, my skill has stopped training?!?' They may file a petition. You see this is something that would seem like a bug to them. Such a thing has been reported and petitioned before (search the forums).
SP was lost due to an inactive account not finishing said trained skill, it was petitioned and... ...lost SP was refunded ...to a player ...who was not paying for CCP services (at the time said skill was training).
But he pays to come back right? with the understanding that his skill should in fact be finished. So how pee-pee'd off would anyone be given this situation?
...and so add to the que, another person waiting for their account to run dry. Possibly feeling like a mug in the meantime.

Originally by: Sassaniak I had a long post but meh, where is the skill que? and where are all the other things that have been promised "soon"?
To be honest I see less of a reason for a skill que now than ever.
'Why?' you may ask.
Well because you wont be subbing off to train your big skills any more will you. You will have to grind them down a few days at a time. So if you can't train a certain skill due to being away for whatever reason, it'll be the bigger level V's that'll now be trained.
PS: CCP really don't want a skill que Also another reason they disabled the inactive skill train feature is... They want you to be in the game playing & enjoying it, not just training skills.

yeah, freaken right you should put a stop to this because its really getting stupid for this to be going on as long as it has. 2nd i am getting sick of seeing all these bought characters blobbing around with ships and skills they didn't put the time in to earn or the history they did not put into the game.
...blah blah... i wont some TIME PLAYED BASE SKILLS that you cant buy and that are only earned buy time played in game..
And how can any of this put a stop to people selling their characters on and purchasing another?
You know regardless of this training nerf, people will still purchase and sell their characters just as they have done in the past & there is no bad thing about it. It is good to know that you can have a value to your character giving all players added reward to the hard time you've put into them.
There are players in eve who treat avatars like used cars and when they want to give up driving a so 'n so type of ship or just stop all together they trade it in. Either for isk they then give to their mates, or they'll use it to buy another different type of pilot.
Regardless of whether there was a feature allowing you only specific skills to be trained up if you are in game only? totally not going to change a thing.

Originally by: Gotrek Gurnisson Given that CCP already implicitly allow the trading of real cash for ISK (via GTC codes), then this just reinforces the perception that CCP are now as commercial and cut-throat as the competition (i.e. Blizzard), and that they are just paying lip service to providing PAYING customers with decent service.
Add in the current sterling-euro exchange rate and Warhammer starts to get more and more attractive every day (as its currently about half the price per month).........
This isn't an attack at you, and I don't have experience with other MMORPG's, but you understand that eve is in actual fact the one game you don't have to pay a dime or nickel to play. I agree with the other issues you raised. But one comment raised an eyebrow.
Thanks to their GTC for ISK system, players who play the game can use in game currency to prolong their life in eve. I mean, isn't that pretty fantastic? You just use isk for your game time. Pretty sweet, and for that I shudder at the word that CCP are 'cut-throat' in their marketing approach in obtaining more revenue.
Smart eve players needn't pay a single $ bill to CCP.

You do realize, don't you, that the GTCs bought by players for ISK first have to be bought by other players for RL money, right? Right? All that CCP cares about is that each GTC is fully paid for in RL money before it ever goes on the in-game market for ISK. The fact that it may be traded to another player doesn't change the fact that it was paid for.
Your kiddin right!?!
