In the context of this thoughtful thread, the following transmission is deemed suitable for broadcast:
[begin]
The Seven Gross Transgressions (GT) by CCP ultimately negating the value of being present in the New Eden:
PLEX trade for ISK (ability to “get rich” in New Eden with Terran credits, i.e. acquire in-universe assets while taking no in-universe action). The only acceptable use of PLEX is exactly what it means: Pilot License Extension (effectively New Eden residence permit)
Skill extractors/injectors (ability to convert permitted residence time into ISK without being active in-universe)
Alfa clones – ability to reside in the New Eden without contributing to the universe-wide infrastructure upkeep and development
Selling skillpoints for Terran credits
Selling ships for Terran credits
SoCT ships – as they are impactful, ubiquitous yet don’t require any materials but 1 Trit to build (infinite number can be produced by any BPO holder with near zero in-universe investment)
Gifting ship BPCs/hulls on login (depending on recipient’s situation, may be strategically consequential)
The Three Lesser Transgressions (LT) by CCP detracting from resident engagement with the Universe (QoL upgrades):
Infinite skill queue (ability to acquire qualifications without any need to be even present in the New Eden, nor even pop in for a moment) – facilitating GT2
Remote skill injection (no need to take the pain of procuring skillbooks)
Safety setting in HUD (no need to be aware of actions and consequences)
The Undesirable Action (UA) by CCP compromising fault-free operation of FTL routers and other vital hi-end elements of universe-wide infrastructure in the New Eden:
Reduction of the daily server downtime to just a few minutes.
The Ruthless Atrocity (RA) committed by CCP in exacerbation of the above:
Resident deprivation of their quarters.

I don’t care anymore. Just drive this company into the ground as hard as possible CCP. I’m not a paying customer anymore anyway. You get nothing by trying to win me back. Oh, and your policy that forbids political discourse reeks of prissy capitalist self-importance.
You are nothing like the company you used to be.
It’s over between us.
Third, I would assume that having been a long standing citizen of the game since 2005, I would at least be granted the freedom to speak about it even after a formal retirement.
Either way, your opinion on this doesn’t matter, nor will change anything to me being here.
They haven’t (yet) sold SP as a singular product, but rather as part of a bundle with other items. And while the SP in the bundles is nice, 1.5mil-2mil doesn’t go very far.
So while it is irritating, SP in an overall package isn’t the end of the world.
Nothing is. Only end of the world is end of the world.
Thay can put anything whats in game right now for a price, more expensive if more rare. Star Citizen is selling a lot of ships for example, why CCP would not? Its their decision how much they want to earn or not.
Probably producing those few ships in game by someone wouldnt give CCP as much money.
It’s for people who have been away from the game a long time. It varies but basically correlates to the amount of SP they would have had if they had stayed subscribed. It also is a good indicator of who actually doesn’t play the game, despite constantly posting on the forums.

While i can agree with the rest of your post, as someone in AUTZ who literally has to deal with DT every single night in the middle of my prime playtime. This was an amazing change, and i hope they can figure out a way to remove downtime entirely. (or once a week or something)
