When they started doing greedy stuff with EVE, players dropped subscriptions like hot potatoes until CCP caved.

I love stories!

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.

Lets not forget the promised walking in stations social spaces but instead delivered a single room. They promised the moon and under delivered.

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.

Its not temporarily scrapped. It's never coming out. Just like Legion.

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.

If you want to quit, by all means, walk away. But do so with some dignity, FFS.

A bunch of eve players started crying because their barbie doll accessories were overpriced.

Then someone got hold of a Hilmar letter saying that actions speak louder than words.

Then they started crying their butts off...

Their game was canceled or moved
They lost no progress
They invest no money
They were not in any way lied to

Once upon a time, a bunch of overly sensitive EVE players got mad because of optional microtransaction items

*garbage expansion plus garbage patch*

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.

Actually, first CCP promised to never ever ever make EVE pay to win.

Then, a bunch of EVE players got pissed off that CCP introduced expensive barbie doll accessories and one single dirty room to look a them in that added no game play value instead of new in game content all while pouring money into developing a F2P game for console and a F2P vampire game. . then right when that happened the EVE players got a hold of a letter that said, "hey, maybe we could make money on selling items that gave advantage in game. . ."

Then they got pissed because the $180 a year they poured into CCP per account wasn't actually going towards their game and content. . .

Progress on content had been stalled and stuff was still broken from years before. . .
Their time and investment was not being repaid. .
They felt they were being lied to because CCP had promised to "never ever ever" introduce Pay to win into EVE and yet they were kicking the idea around in an internal news letter. . .

Then 10% of the player base unsubscribed and people got laid off because CCP still had to pay off the loans they took out to finance World of Darkness & DUST development.

Write up from the CSM chair who flew to Rek for the emergency summit:

Just as CCP had to disentangle itself from Incarna, they need to disentangle themselves from what is quite obviously a broken MMOFPS to try and build a good one, or at least one that does everything they want it to do.

So yeah actually, those of us who were around for that do get why DUST players are pissed, even if you don't understand what you are talking about in reference to Incarna or just want to troll.

So either quit trolling or get your facts straight.

Actually, first CCP promised to never ever ever make EVE pay to win.

So show me what part of what I said was even close to inaccurate.

Also show me how any of that even comes close to what us dust bunnies have been through?

You can act like you went through this great injustice, but it is honestly childs play next to what has just happened to dusters and to say otherwise is to lie.

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.

In any multiplayer game, players are content.

It doesn't matter if you pay or not, your presence is worth something to CCP, and withdrawing it will have an impact.
