they fail to mention that every single isk dollar is generated in teh game and sold by players to other players. in essence, they merely want that action and don’t want people to sell their isk to each other.

the don’t speak to huge corporations who front their members millions or any of the other number of things around the matter.

but mostly, they don’t talk about how all of it comes form inside the game which renders their point moot and pointless. Most idiotic thing ever really, I cancelled my sub within 3 weeks of having it off trial.

most bogus mmo ever despite the cool software and great graphics. just run by a bunch of idiots that can’t be pros. too bad.

@Heartless – Your post IMO represents the fascinating dichotomy between the mentality of those who *understand* the effects they experience ingame, versus the *resons* for those feelings.

Without getting directly into the guts of human nature, let me simply say this: your assessment of a corrupt player base being responsible for the state of affairs in Eve – a publicly marketed product that we are all supposed to be paying to play – is a slap in the face of the players upon whose behalf you appear to comment. We depend on CCP to oversee its own affairs in business, and this includes policing its own internal affairs and developments.

The controls you appear to endorse MUST be put in place by CCP, or they just don’t exist. Think of crime and police in real life: a community who does not enforce its own rules has no one but itself to blame for an increase in crime. The terrible thing about Eve is that, even when the residents go and buy a gun to protect themselves, CCP changes the rules in favor of their pet, and nerfs OUR ammo, thus devaluing our paid dues.

Any game that has players interacting together is effected when/if a developer interferes. Everyone that has worked to achieve their own success is cheated when someone else does not have to work for it.

The biggest problem with EVE is not CCP. The problem is the elite players that have taken over the game and imported the claim that they “own” EVE. The only fault of CCP is letting their players take over the game by not drawing a clear line in the proverbial sand about what is and what is not acceptable. Right now it is anything goes, so developer interference and attacking CCP’s credibility are all fair game.
