Go tell CCP all the plex they make REAL MONEY selling, isn’t worth anything…
Sorry Arrendis - Couldn’t resist

And as usual you would be wrong. You are forgetting the golden rule as did CCP for years.
He who has the gold makes the rules.
And CCP is starting to actually fix its game, not just listen to Null because they scream the loudest, and its great.
It isn’t working - Put in name, select time frame and hit enter. It just keeps telling me to select a time frame.

When you get to the ‘four month’ part of the drop-down, it should give you ‘Four Months Jan 1’. Just let the drop-down close and hit the ‘ignore’ button. Then reload this thread, and he’ll go poof.

Doesn’t matter what time frame i select it just keeps popping up a message in red at the top that says - Select time frame…

CCP could fix these bugs, if more people would pay with cash. 
I agree, they need more cash players. But I cant figure this current strategy is helping get more cash players. I would think content aimed at new players, not the giving stuff away type like if you can say your name you get 10000 skill points. I’ve been around for a while and I still buy PLEX and I pay for the one account I have left with cash. Cant really say how long that’s gonna last because the game isn’t as fun for me since the black out.

OMG Mark. Are you that dense?
A customer came in to my restaurant. Finished his $20 meal and paid buy cash. Then before he left, he did purchased a $20 gift card from my restaurant for someone birthday.
Now who took $40 to the bank? I am.
I got $20 from him for his meal and another $20 up front.
That customer came in spent that $20 gift card. Do I threat differently? Heck, no. Do I give less food on the plate over a customer that paying cash? Heck no!!!
Because who knows, before that customer leaves, he may purchase more gift card from my restaurant for someone else.
Again, who get the cash up front?
I paid my sub with cash, says $10 and then I decided, I like you so much I purchased $10 worth of plex and send it to you. Who got $20 in the bank? CCP, right?
Thanks God, you are not my financial analyst for my restaurant who think a customer that came in to eat with gift card is a customer who is not paying me or my staffs.
Another, note I have sold some gift cards that never showed up. Now that is a free money.
In EVE, I have 251 Plex I bought for year, never sold or redeemed. Now that is also a free money for CCP.
Mark, may I suggest a professional help?

EVE don’t need this “chaos era”. EVE need more PVP in general, more soloPVPrs and gang skirmishes, more wars and BIG WARS between blocs. It will sane the game completely. And the Blackout results affect directly to PVP, and PVE in consequence.
With Blackout PVP is decreasing day by day. There are few or none reasons to take space in nullsec. Even if you want it, it’s a headache to move caps for the invasion with the recent changes. Instead of 0.0 being part of the metagaming, now it’s tedious to be there for PVE purposes. And even for PVP purposes because nullsec is almost empty.
CCP please, react before it’s too late.

So will you guys keep watching this nose dive or stop listening to Hilmar hallucinating over purple donuts and start making things right?
People didn’t want to live in Wormholes before - why on earth should they want blackout?
And those Cyno changes? Make me pay for jet another alt to make up for the tons of people you’re pushing out of the game with this nonsense? No other reason for that and im supposed to farm for hours to plex that with my 25 bil super dangling on a life line with cruiser ehp?
Because turning PVP into a skillfree turkey shooting makes it ‘more hardcore’ ?
I think i know why Hilmar thought it makes sense to recommend people take drougs to deal with the ptsd from playing his game…
And PVP content is also down - who would have thought it gets boring so quick when theres no skill involved in cathing something and escaping thereafter? Ofcourse the wallet warriors who allways insult PVEers while buying gift cards for them take a bit longer to understand - they never were the smartest bunch in the first place but not finding anything to gank anymore is something even they will notice at some point…
But there is a way to turn this into something positive - after removing the chaos era changes you can now do something about afk cloaky campers and make null liveable for smaller and medium alliances that don’t need to spend 2000 man hours per day maintainging cap umbrellas. Also boost the spawnrate of anoms ans escalations so people stop being spacepoor all the time and can to more fun stuff instead. Less pain replacing things is the road that leads to more content - what you’re doing right now is the opposite of that, you understand?
Or you start looking for new jobs, wich really you should annyways since the damage is already large enough that there will be a pretty big hole in next years butget no matter what you do…

So you are just ignoring the whole expiry date bit on gift cards and the fact that businesses hope the gift card is never seen again.
And again more than 16,000 accounts banned in the last 2 months most of which would have been on 24/7
The people i stop seeing logging in were no botters. Actual people you know? With whom i went on fleets and spent hours chatting on comms? The community that makes EVE worth while? Shrinking before my eyes.
All of those botters went to Highsec and for every account banned they create two new ones.
They dont give even half a ■■■■.

So what you are saying is that people from null who were used to massive rewards with little or no risk spit the dummy.
They could have moved to lo-sec but then they would miss the massive rewards, so they threw a tantrum.
Good Riddance.
Gift card and plex does not expired. Sure both may lose some value. Sure, $20 gift card today may buy you 2 hotdogs, but if you come back a year later may be you can only get one hotdog.
Regardless people paid cash for sub or plex their acct. CCP got the cash up front.
If noone plex there accounts, why would “I” buy plex from CCP with my cash?
You are not going to get it.
Tell you what, let meet at Jita on the weekend. Let me scan your cargo… I mean your head. Perhaps there are some rocks in it that I could mine.
low sec money, right… Im not here for PVE. Quadruple my time spent farming PVE sites (wich also don’t respawn like in sov space) because people don’t call me a carebear often enough already?
But you are the kind of person who gets a hard one over ganking someones t1 hauler i imagine so what do you know about PVP?

So you managed to reply to a comment that for someone else and then dribble on your keyboard.
You really are special.
Oh there is a massive fail. If you read these forums more you would know I am against the current ganking due to a lack of risk for the gankers.
And yet you tell the people living in sov to just completely change your playstyle if you don’t like what ccp is doing…? You must be this forums special snowflake right?

Actually Null is having its reward increased to equal the massive rewards it has received for over a decade. Same problem with gankers risk vs reward is not properly balanced.
But I guess that is something you cannot understand.
