So hereā€™s what I wantā€¦ I want something from PA telling us what their plans are for Eve. Obviously we wonā€™t get the truth, if itā€™s bad, but it would be nice if they would say something like ā€œwe like the way Eve is and we want to preserve thatā€. As it stands, Iā€™ve preemptively cancelled all of my subs. If they keep Eve the way it is (in fitting with the design concepts at least) and donā€™t ruin the game, Iā€™ll resub. Until then, itā€™s plexing time. ---

> [@Arctanis](#): > > the potential P2W features Abyss are going to force into EVE to recover their investment. they havent made an investment yet they only pay 425 if ccp meets targets so if anything it will be ccp going hard p2w to meet the targets and if they dont then its game over ---

RIP Eve. It was fun while it lasted. PA is one of the worst game companies on the planet and you really only could have picked one other company that would have been worse. ---

So we might end up having an annoying black oilspot popping up resulting in you loosing all control of your character for 5-30 seconds, while other people simply kill youā€¦ Dropped BDO mainly for that very reason. ---

Shrug, Iā€™m not purchasing the plex from them, Iā€™m buying it from players. If other players want to pay money to keep it going, thatā€™s on them. My ā€œstatementā€ is that Iā€™m not going to give them money until I know where theyā€™re taking this game. Nothing else. ---

If I see auto ratting, mining, special ammo, modules, ponyā€™s and ships in any sort of microtransaction that you see in Black Desert iā€™m off. No idea why CCP just didnā€™t go public, at least then people who play the game can have a stake in it and know what itā€™s all about. ---

First thing I did when I read the headline was to check the calendar. And no, itā€™s not April 1stā€¦ Well, ā– ā– ā– ā– . Better make myself scarce, before PA tarnishes my fond memory of Eve. ---

> [@Veryez](#): > > BDO is growing rapidly, EvEā€¦well not so much. I highly doubt they spent 425 million for a stagnant MMO, and have no plans to ā€œimproveā€ it. 1000% this. They didnā€™t spend $425 million for ā€œknowhowā€ and ā€œdevelopers.ā€ They spent $425 million to make money off EVEā€”both real dollars and market cap dollars. EVE is already fully P2W. PLEX and injectors have seen to that. What difference would loot boxes make? Get ready for some sweet BPCs, SP, and ships from lucky rolls bois. ---
