Maybe the strategy is to reduce the number of complaints by reducing the number of complainers.
Well that sucks. Cancelled my subs , now resubbed. We need an EVE Anonymous group for recovering EVE addicts.

There is.
Itâs called âEvE Online Forums.â
Iâm glad you could make it.
You should have dropped the price from 15 USD to 7. You do not provide a high enough quality of content to justify a 20$ pricetag.

That is quite impressive. A wall of text without punctuation. Quite disapointed though, you threw in a whopping 2 full stops at the end.

Imagine being so entitled of a playerbase that you complain that a developer who honesttly, should have been increased there sub prices (like other MMOâs have) and over the years, they have given free expansions where they could have actually charged money for them.
All of these expansions were free, and had content in them (whether you liked it or not is your opinion, fact is that they contained it)
Guild Wars 2, Guild Wars, Runescape, ESO I can literally go down a list of games and developers who have changed there pricing structure but the difference is save for one game and that is a sneaky line (runescape) all of these games offerred there (expansions) for a price.
Iâm not going to get into the senior level developer and paying what they need, and it being expensive because honestly, most people mad about this donât actually care about the game just about a golden era of what the game is or could be along with there gameplay being gone whichâŚis fine games do change and they donât stay the same, you should probally play something else.
EVE is justified in what they are doing, the ones that are mad about the ingame pricing means they have a hard time paying the game to plex there account, which is a toxic way of playing in my opinon, but it is a valid way. You treat the game like a job, because you are not willng to downscale your activity.
Which is a YOU problem, not a CCP problem.
When I first played this game when I was younger, I could not afford a sub fee. I stuck to F2P games when I was younger until WoW but even then I was on a friends account. A bit later, I had to Alpha because I could not afford the game because I wasnât in a good spot, I also wasnât at the best spot ingame because we were moving to null and I wasnât really having fun with the game. Was that CCPâs fault? No. I didnât allow myself to learn about the game and really figure out where I wanted to be / play. I let someone else tell me how things should be even though they werenât forcing me to think that way.
I came back, as an alpha clone (made a few) and found out that Faction Warfare is where / what I wanted to be and things have been great ever since.
Its okay to take breaks, its okay to not want to play a game because other things interest you more or things get rough. Thats not on CCP.
You all are entitled, EVE players got all these expansions for free in the past, SWG you even had to pay for the expansions and guess what, even those had complains some arguabally killed the game.
If I couldnât afford something, if I canât afford something I just donât play / pick it up. Its not that hard.
If a new player canât pay then its the same thing. The problem with players though, is that they are pushing activities to try and plex accounts while they should be trying to push players into activities they want to do more of or want to enjoy, and then push for just subbing for a month and trying to pursue that activity and seeing if its for them or not.
Instead of pushing so this activity makes this much isk, and this activity makes this. Push things that alphaâs can do, maybe not well but can actually do and see if that player wants to do more. If they do, they omega for a month and see if they want to continue. If they donât they walk and thats alright. For everyone that doesnât there are others that does.
- players who mutli boxed for there enjoyment killed progression for themselves, and killed the game for themselves.
- players who rely on buying and selling plex with ingame activities and are complaining about the ingame price and the activity not scaling with that price donât understand that they are the exception not the rule.
- touch grass, in another game and stop acting like you care about this game anymore. If your not undocking and your just spending time on these forums because you miss (the community) just leave all together. I did it for the game I played because it went into a different direction but it didnât mean I hated the game or the devâs, its just a different game now which is fine.

You are onto something. Could that be why players are quiting eve?
You do realize that faction warfare with alphas is not for everyone right?
Assuming people in poorer countries have as much money as you is the definition of entitled.

Iâm just using myself as an example. I actually did try alot of things while my characters were alphaâd. I bought/sold/made antimatter ammo and tried market pvp, on another character I tried out faction warfare. On another, I did wormhole though thats pretty much where I came from at the time.
Doing the ammo creation I did it myself so I had to mine as well. The goal wasnât maximizing profit perse, but to figure out how / what I need to do inorder to buy / sell / make a product. Inorder to maximize it I would have had to do a bit more but I still did it. I didnât do it optimally, which again is the point of trying out an activity. I also didnt need alot of isk for what I was trying to do.
Iâll take that a step forward and assume that I assumed that its people in poorer countries that canât afford the game. That still falls into the catgeory of it shouldnât be something they should be focused on imo. When I couldnât pay I justâŚdidnât and thats ok doesnât make you any less or any better of a person.
The majority of the people are not from poorer countries complaining about this. The majoritiy of the people have money, but they donât have money to justify 2 or maybe 3 accounts which they donât have to do. They are unwilling to downscale their respective gameplay that RELIED on them having multiple alts to justify paying for. If your activity relies on you having multiple alts, and you are unable to pay for said alts because the ingame price of plex isnât scaling to the activity your doing, then the problem is YOUR operation otherwise, you pay real money costs to keep up that operation, or I guess upscale the operation more to the point of burnout <.< either way the problem is YOURS and not CCPâs.
Yea, CCP may have a problem wtih this but I certainly donât. These players that are quitting are fine to me. It isnât healthy to be playing something that is causing you emotional or mental pain, and disrupting your real life. My issue is for the ones that quit, and stay here, or on reddit using this platform to vent of what could have been
Its the equivalent of constantly talking about your ex partner that you broke up with every day. You havenât gotten over it but your saying that you have. Though this is actually like constantly badgering them on social media with passive aggressive actions. Your thinking your doing this from a good place when in reality you need to give more space and actually leave the relationshio and move on.
Let them leave, I run new fleets and see new players all the time. New worlds PCU on steam dropped from the highest any game has seen, to one of the lowest, around 25k concurrent users
So yea, its fine.

Imagine being a suck up to a greedy CEO.
Now that is one weird fantasy.
Well, I didnât pay you earlier, probably I will pay now, when you want more fore your broken and not evolving game. Good job!
I came to renew 2 accounts. Instead, I made this post⌠sorry CCP, but reading there are no game improvements (none that I would like as a wormholer) and the price still got increased by 25% is a no go for me.
I guess I won Eve - forever.

That sir, is how one does win EvE. Simply declaring it!
Welcome to the end game content. Mucking about with the character editor and â â â â posting on the forums! Glad you made it.
Imagine being weak enough to letting a greedy CEO control how you play.
Imagine being not social enough to replace alts with people.
Do you actually have a point?
No new content for over 2 years and now a price INcrease? Is CCP trying to kill the game?
