Who cares? Seriously you are talking about a company that could have sold out long ago to make some crap game for the masses. Instead they have stuck with their vision. They have tried in many amazing ways to stay on the cutting edge of ideas. And they put up with our whiney bitter vet posterior regions far longer than any one should. Props to them for the game and more props for them for not sticking smart bombing difter BSes on the undock of every station and structure. I know I would have done the latter long, long ago.

We drop it, but it goes UP, deep into, um, … this thread?
Don’t mistake genuine respect for ass kissing. I still believe this is a great game that is unlike any other game out there. What’s so wrong with a thread that recognises CCP’s good work?
From my perspective I’ve never played a game for as long as I have played Eve they are deserving of my respect.

I’ve been playing the game for 10 years and I am more hooked than ever. I hope CCP will keep developing the game for many more years.
It is the only game that I still play and the only one that ever gave me such adrenaline rush.

In this I agree with you entirely. I never thought when I left in 2004 Id be back, I left for 1.5 years after playing for 1.5 years, and Im still playing 13.5 years later. Nothing has given me more hours/dollars or entertainment than Eve has. Its no longer a game but a microcosm of international study mixed with gameplay. People fascinate me and Eve has it all in that regard.
Now that said I both like and loath CCP for various reasons. And to CCP… dont stop you splendid 
!!
Think that sums up how I feel if you know what I mean.

Need for a dedicated ‘CCP Deprecation’ thread?
Wonder how long that would last…

I do apreciate all the hard work CCP puts into EvE as I do need my EvE fix. Keep it up CCP 
I think it’s (unfortunately) in the nature of things - and human nature in particular - that bad news is good news and that finding fault is popular where it is permitted and encouraged.
I find the giving of unalloyed praise to be as suspicious in a person as its opposite, which is why I made the remark.
The OP may have thought the balance a bit skewed and conceived a desire to redress it, but the result seems to be an unmitigated exercise in fawning (I use the polite term). Of course, this thread is likely not going to be knifed in the gut, whereas the one that I proposed (lightheartedly…) would be unlikely to see out its first hour of life.
As an exercise, go back to Aaron’s OP and take the abstract nouns, the adjectives, the tone, and so on, and reverse them, without however increasing or diminishing their intensity. You will end up with what some people would describe as a rant, unreasonably negative, and cruel besides.
Then consider its chances of survival 
I think people worry about this stuff too much.
If EvE vanishes tomorrow, Ill just play summink else
Haha. Yellow Parasol already remarked on my tendency to care too much. I think he was implying ‘too much about things which don’t matter (to me)’.
If EVE vanishes now (never mind tomorrow), I too will have plenty else to do!

I will take care in future, Ramona.
Btw, is ‘summink’ a northern English version of our London ‘sumpfink’? For some reason (which?) it’s always satisfying to find compatriots on the forums (and in space).

it’s a fascinating game with a fascinating universe … latter is more interesting to me as i’m the wordbuilding fan type.
i apprenticiate the work ccp has done.
I can not appreciate a company that kills their game by attracting full blown idiots.
The reasoning apparently is that new players are too ■■■■■■■ stupid for reading what’s behind the right-click menu.

I agree, Aergri.
But in the same way that a tiger is a beautiful creature with many things to recommend it to the discerning spectator, closer inspection tends to reveal qualities which can only be regarded by the undefended human being as downsides…
The skin, as it were, comes with the claws, and you don’t get to encounter the one at the expense of the other.
It’s interesting to me that some people like to form some kind of cosy relationship with just about everything they encounter; their avatar, their ship, space, etc. That’s why some miners have a go at people who blow up their stuff; they can’t take the hit to those cuddly relationships. I suppose it’s not impossible - by extension - to include a commercial company like CCP in that list.
I prefer to remain balanced about those things. CCP is a company, not your best friend. Sure, it’s populated, but those folks are employees with a reason to encourage the good relationships at which you hint, albeit unwittingly. Of course, they may also be genuinely friendly, but you can guess which is of prime importance. They make mistakes. Best to acknowledge that and act accordingly instead of blanket-praising something unrealistically.
Does that sound cynical? Probably.
