Apparently we've forgotten what the Jita Riots were all about.

The Jita riots were in a scrubscription based game about ****** cosmetic stuff. It was pretty stupid, I was there it was annoying as hell. DUST is completely different story, its a F2P game without any paywalls. You can get everything for free in this game except the respecs service.

It wasn't -COMPLETELY- about cosmetics. Sure the $70 monocle had a lot to do with it but there was also the threat of gameplay changing pay-for items. The subscription factor had a lot to do with it as well but ultimately the entirety of Jita Riots revolved around the aspect that CCP was intending to allow microtransactions for non-vanity "Pay-to-Win" materials; something that seems to change in meaning to fit the agenda with Dust 514.

It started out as Militia BPOs... Then it evolved into Standard BPOs... Now we have Prototype BPO's - BUT IT'S OKAY, THEY'RE PRE-FITTED WITH STANDARD GEAR! Calling Slippery Slope is a logical fallacy but evidence is showing that that is less likely a fallacy so much as a consistent theme.

Actually, the Jita riots were about a bunch of players who were too stupid to realize that the newsletter they got this "threat of gameplay changing pay-for items" thing from was an intentional "devil's advocate" piece in an internal-only newsletter, and was never actually going to happen.

What does it matter? We're -actually getting- gameplay changing pay-for-items. Something I personally think is well worth a riot over if people weren't so damn short sighted to just eat up their delicious shiny and dispute whether or not it's pay to win.

You're permanently saving ISK by spending real money. Congratulations, you just circumvented everything that Eve Online was about. There's no sand castle destruction with that.

Aeon, I sympathise with you mate. I really do. But this has been the writing on the wall since the end of Chromosome. Why do you think some of us harp on about Chrome so damn much? As soon as uprising came, the long slippery (and sometimes short and aggravating) slope was put before us.
