I guess I should have done more research on CCP before buying stuff from them. When they started doing greedy stuff with EVE, players dropped subscriptions like hot potatoes until CCP caved. I hear this and I realize how little power I have playing a F2P game of theirs.
Good thing Legion is F2P too though. Lets you know what their intentions are.
Once upon a time, a bunch of overly sensitive EVE players got mad because of optional microtransaction items that gave no advantage in the game and were purely cosmetic , because they were scared that EVE was going to foster a "pay2win" environment, and a lot of blokes quit.
Others quit for better reasons... because they felt that rush-releasing an unfinished product and forcing everyone to use it (the Captain's Quarters, which was the birth of what was supposed to be this "WiS" you may have heard about) without developing any actual content, focusing more on how to properly introduce microtransactions and so-called "ambulation" than actual gameplay, and simultaneously breaking multiple relied-upon features, whilst providing no new content to speak of in a hopelessly broken patch that took months to fix.
Honestly, that was the only time I've ever been angry at CCP.... and the things they've done since then to make up for it have been stellar. This DUST thing..... yeah, they could have announced it differently. But they really thought everyone was going to be excited that the game was leaving a dead platform and moving onto a permanent home. More thought should have been put into it. Perhaps if CCP had looked back to the mid-90's and seen what happened to this little developer called Bungie, and a minor title we like to call Halo, they might have seen they were about to make a terrible mistake.
But at least they did everything they could to make sure the playerbase wasn't completely screwed. They really did try.

Gee, where have I heard that story before?
I covered that, mate. It's temporarily scrapped, because of the fallout from the Summer of Rage incident I described. I was thereGäó
One day when CCP fixes all the issues with "ambulation", we'll see a fully realized version of Incarna. Until then, this Icelandic developer has a lot on their plate, and with that in mind, I'm honestly impressed with how thriving EVE really is.

In other words..... learn from the EVE playerbase's failure and support these guys instead of lambasting them and encouraging other players to quit and demand refunds. It's only hurting the community.

Its not temporarily scrapped. It's never coming out. Just like Legion.
Your crystal ball is broken, mate. Demand a refund.

Actually, first CCP promised to never ever ever make EVE pay to win.
Seriously, what part of the NEX store is pay2win?
There's nothing but cosmetic items, and there never will be anything but cosmetic items. Nothing gives you an advantage other than looking cooler than the other guy.
