II understand all the bad things that CCP has done by closing the test server, but there will be some good for those of us who pay real money to play… or not?
They’d let you drive a virtual lambo all day.
Not really sure what that has to do with anything, in this case there are no “virtual” ships, if you want to try running x content in x ship you’re expected to put x ship at risk to do it, rather than being allowed to play in a “virtual” playground to get the same experience
A virtual lambo experience isn’t going to compare to driving a real one
I dont need do this stupidity. For this was the test server

I only re-subbed to do stuff on the test-server. Should have read this first. 
Honestly I would be fine with paying extra for a small sandboxish server under the rules of the test-server. Like turning the Jove region (+ a few exclusive WH systems) into that unique playground for us “boring” soyboy/soygirl sandboxers. That sandbox server also can be on the state of TQ so it doesn’t reveal anything for the next expansion(s) to data miners. And it should pay for itself if the access requires Omega on TQ and then between 1 and 5 Euro for the Sandbox-Access.
The only reference to TQ would be your skills. Assets don’t have to be transfered because you can buy everything you wish for 100 ISK. Abondoned structures would be removed after a certain time of no use, abondoned ships in space in 24 hours or less.
On top of that the test-server(s) itself could be scaled down to match the scale of this sandbox. This would make the test-environment more effective as well since you don’t have to instanciate that many systems. Maybe there are even more benefits.
Lol no.
Why sub just to be on sisi? Actual meaningful gameplay scary to you?
I wouldn’t be where I am if that was the case. Not that my life in EVE is meaningful to begin with. 
Why is this Cypherous guy malding about people wanting the test server to be for testing?
Because ccp was clear why they had the test server to begin with. And instead of using it to help ccp, most used it to help themselves by doing events or new content before it hit live, so they could milk them once they go live and make insane isk or win rewards before others.
Bugs never got reported before making it to TQ.
So yes ccp lowered the availability as they should have
So what I’m hearing is CCP didn’t like people using the test server for what it was in fact originally intended for, testing events and content as was the original goal when it was created which anyone can go read and reporting bugs that CCP were too “busy” (lazy) to fix, and now everyone except the wallet whales are rightfully angry at CCP for taking away ANOTHER major aspect of the game that helped people figure out what they can and cannot do in a similar vein to how they rawdogged the economy for “muh scarcity”.

Lol, I don’t get why the tears keep flowing in this thread. The real game is still there on TQ in full.
Because there’s still people who, unlike you, actually care when CCP keep taking things away despite them having no viable, present, or actionable reason to, yet you keep defending every action they take.

They gave a reason why
The aim is to focus testing on work-in-progress features rather than general access to all content
These days Singularity is mostly used to test deployments and architecture changes. Often bugs that are reported by players on Singularity have already found their way onto Tranquility. The hope is that by focusing testing on new features we can limit the number of bugs that reach Tranquility.
Alright so they’re just lying? People have constantly reported bugs from Singularity that CCP just never even looked at, the server was never the problem.
Bugs are going to be found even less frequently, if at all, and CCP will then have the ammo to say “We feel the test server, originally meant for testing, does not meet our company standard” and then promptly either shut it down or do some other drastic, pointlessly altering crap.
„We need it to test our upcoming major expansion behind closed doors“ is not a good enough reason for you? What is your bar for „that would be a good enough reason for them to take Sisi away“, or do you have no such bar and are just being completely unreasonable?
It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest, as someone who unironically said „muh scarcity“ 
There’s many things to criticize CCP for. Sisi being taken away is not one of them.

To be clear, you have no answer to the reasonable question:
What is your bar for „that would be a good enough reason for them to take Sisi away“, or do you have no such bar and are just being completely unreasonable?
That’s because it’s an unreasonable question that would only be asked by the utterly deranged, but I’ll humor your insanity for a moment.
The bar is that there was true financial, player-based, or otherwise detrimental harm to Tranquility or CCPs budget.
None of these have been proven, posted, told, explained, admitted, or any other synonym. Yet, despite this, people, for some unknowable, incomprehensible reason, are happy at CCP taking away more and more basic QOL systems, probably thinking CCP will be favorable to them if they lose another dread no one cared about so they can quietly go mald that they’re better than everyone who actually NEEDS help.
So it is „deranged“ to even ask the question about what conditions removing the Test Server from public access is acceptable. Got it.
P.S. projection is not a good look.
Good to see that I’m so correct you can’t prove anything I said wrong.
Projection isn’t a good look, but then again, you support closing the test server, so that’s probably what you’re good at.
Can’t tell if Poe‘s Law so bravo for your excellent LARP as Unhinged Entitlement Unleashed Upon A Keyboard.
I’m confident you’ll have the last word here. Or am I wrong on that front, too?
