That is shocking. The whole "greed is good" motto is disgusting. Players are already forced to multi account to succeed in this game (thank god I never got into it). They call $20 for an in-game shirt a "micro" transaction. What were they thinking? I dont have $70 to dump to a game for a monacle, but I would be comfortable on spending a few bucks here and there for something cool. It's absolutely retarded I know, but I would. I wonder what the next step for CCP is besides ignoring people. Was about to renew my sub a few days ago to check out the new turret effects and the new maller model myself, glad I didnt though.

Just dont buy the fucking shirt if its too expensive, thats how real life markets work, if people dont buy it theyre gonna drop the price, the issue now is that people are actually buying them, so why would CCP lower it...just cause you dont have the isk to do it yourself ? its called vanity for a reason after all..

Lots of rage here Turpin. You are fully entitled to disagree with me but try to keep it civil.

For the record, I owned a 425mm Railgun II BPO when the guns sold for 16mill ISK a pop. I own a titan and could buy more monocles than you could drakes. I'm against the principle. I won't buy the shirt and I also won't pay the fee to get in the door of the virtual shop.

CCP built its company on the backs of subscriptions of people like me. We feel the devs are out of touch. It's not just the shirt, the shirt / monocle is a symbol of what they have been using our subscriptions to spend development time on. As a customer I'm entitled to an opinion.

And for the record, you can't even spin ships anymore. I'm denied even that simple pleasure!

Yeah im sure you give lots of money to CCP if you own a titan /sarcasm

And yes, as a customer you are allowed to an opinion, im just pointing out how terribly wrong it is.

Deja Thoris, the record for the amount of isk given away to the Hatchery from someone quitting is about 10 billion. Can you top that????

Can I top that? Yes. Will I? No.

I'm keeping my stuff in the hope that CCP unfucks itself.

I recommend cancelling your sub even if you don't want to quit. It sends a message to CCP and you can always resub before the time runs out. CCP are supposedly already shitting themselves over the number of people cancelling their subs.

Theres a pretty nice thread here that explains the full situation for those who are interested. http://failheap-challenge.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2530

I have a friend who works at CCP and a few dozen of them were at the pub Friday night when the devblog got released. They did a collective facepalm when they read it on their mobiles, CCP's own workers. I know I, and many other disgruntled customers are wrong (Turpin said so) so its all ok.

Finally the CSM have "been summoned" to Iceland on pretty short notice. I heard this from a corpie of the CSM dude in question, it may be a troll and time will tell, but if it's true then its admission that while a lot of the playerbase may be wrong (Turpin said so), its still cause for concern.

What's happened here is a whole nexus of rage from many corners of the playerbase was ignited by one catalyst. Some are angry that Incarna has no real content for veteran players. Some are angry about NeX vanity items being too expensive; some are angry that NeX exists at all. Most appear to be horrified by the lurking shadow of Pay to Win, and just about everyone is pissed off at the dismissive, condescending and money-hungry attitudes displayed in the CCP newsletter, the Hilmar email, and the damage control devblogs.

A few years ago, we saw the impact that 'oligarchs' had on the nullsec metagame, when Red Overlord had SerLordex spend a hundred thousand dollars on Eve Online, A Bad Game.

This whole thing has happened before with Call of Duty whatever. There was a lot of rage and protests etc. but in the end exactly nothing happened. This will happen with EVE too.

Making gold-ammo available in NeX is an easy process once the seed has been planted, which it has if they put in buyable faction standings. Unfortunately all the evidence points to that happening.

It's a shame this had to happen to EVE, it's a pretty amazing game :/
