If CCP make something good, ( at least for me ) why not tell them ?.
They get enough hate from Tryhards all the time. ^^
Thats all.

My Potato worked perfectly fine with T3C in use before their GPU Poopline update. Only after that update, EVE and only EVE started to misbehave on my glorious potato. 
They also tried to push a horrible new map on the players, keep wrecking the economy, don’t improve events, their UI is still horrendous, among many other issues. They aren’t getting hate. They receive a little bit of constructive criticism and critical thought that is severely missing among their own peers.

I believe this is no different than any other game company at present. As long as they keep the backwards compatibility available, I doubt you will hear any venom from the common users. Sarcasm, criticism, and complaints are all too common in online game forums. This is why you are getting the replies to your thank you note posted here. When you really feel CCP has done you a service, pay them, just buy some Plex. I am sure the Plex will buy you something nice, but it cost them nothing to generate it. Plex is a 100% gratuity for them.
You can also write them a thank you note directly;

This would show you cared enough to make the effort and it isn’t just lip service.
Unfortunately you won’t get any positive reply in these forums, as they are a notch filter for all the rants and raves. The only people you will reach are jaded fans and trolls here. This is standard operating procedures for most game companies. They tell the naive employees not to respond to love or hate messages in the forums, to avoid the following deluge of requests and complaints.
Have fun!

Not everyone is having issues. At least one has resolved his issue by moving the game to an M.2 drive. Faster data means no stuttering. I’m personally experiencing zero issues since the update.
Have you tried lowing your graphic settings to see if that helped? That could help narrow it down.
I personally love the textures on all the ships. Some of the gates are really sparkly as well and look great! I really hope the Station Interiors get some love soon because they are really outdated. But great job thus far, CCP!
You really need to upgrade to the Sweet Potato. You’ll love the difference! Make sure you spring for the marshmallow upgrade!

I toss them $10 in Plex when I feel they made me happy. I tip the dancing bear too. As for old PC’s, it is my acumen never to support e-waste. I currently sit within a room full of old desktop PC’s, motherboards, RAM, and other various components. My nephew and I salvage them regularly from the curbside pickup. When I get one running, I slap Linux OS on it, and gift it to a senior citizen in need of a machine. I don’t need to get them much beyond that state, where they can freely surf the internet and maybe play games on Facebook. I also place my name a number on them for service and recycling.
Games should never upgrade you out of a PC. Game companies are “encouraged” to use the best hardware by the company that supports them. Anyone who plays many videos games, will know the tagline for Nvidia The way it’s meant to be played. or AMD The smarter choice. is found on many titles. This is the equivalent of a radio disk jockey taking bribes to play records and force the public to like it.
In my book, the better choice is to go old school when making a game or any application. Too many depend on 3rd party drivers, PhysX, DirectX, and other software libraries to support them. Making the games old school style, meant more time developing them, but a lot less errors when it came to release. Back then the ones who failed the QA testing, didn’t sell in the software stores. Today it is all too common for Bethesda to release broken games, promise fixes, only to offer more broken DLC. Proving once they have your money they don’t care.
I will finish up by saying, “Thank you CCP. for providing a decent free to play game for this old man.”.

There isn’t much of a market for old games. People move on if the game doesn’t improve unless there is a huge cult-following. For example, World of Warcraft. But that’s how it goes. Players like upgrading their machines and getting better visuals and faster speeds.
Eve Online’s original requirements:
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
Pentium III 450 MHz processor
128 MB RAM (256 MB for Windows 2000/XP)
DirectSound compatible sound card
GeForce 2 or ATI Radeon graphics card
DirectX 9
56k modem.
The resolution was terrible back then. Players had huge space battles with blobs for ships and 1 frame per second. I know it’s a space game and things should be just black and ugly, but there is beauty out in space too. The textures don’t need to be that bad anymore.
If Eve didn’t improve over the years, CCP would have lost to a newer space game simply based on graphics. Look at Star Citizen- the game isn’t even in Alpha and it’s so full of bugs that it’s unplayable, but it has raked in $800 million dollars partly because players are looking for updated appearances and controls. It’s called following the money. Games have to be updated to the new tech or get left behind.
CCP didn’t take bribes to get better. They got better to compete with the competition. An unplayable space game is bringing in big money. No Man Sky was also a piece of trash when it was released. The fault wasn’t theirs- they were the victim of several lawsuits over similar content as well as other roadblocks that kept delaying release. They finally just released it and then began to clean up the mess. From what I’ve read, they’ve done a great job! I’m going to buy the game again and get back into it.
Games have to improve or die. Players will move on to newer stuff. It has nothing to do with bribes from graphics cards.
I’m not saying that CCP is flawless. They aren’t. The Planetary Industry interface is terrible. It looks like it was thrown together in a day as a placeholder and then the Dev was told to release it as a finished product. I hope it gets revamped soon. I can’t stand how clunky it is.
Eh, I don’t know about that. I’ve been playing this game for 15 years, and it’s true I don’t love it as much as I used to. But I still like it, else I wouldn’t still be playing. I also give CCP money (a fair amount of it, actually). I don’t PLEX my Omega with ISK, but with dollars. And I’m more than willing to say that CCP does (on occasion) get things right or produce something cool.
But all that doesn’t change the fact that I think they’ve made a number of missteps, and I’ve no problem calling them out for that. Actually, me (and others) calling them out is probably for the best. True, happy players are better than angry players, but angry players are better than apathetic players. Angry players can be redeemed if you’re willing to take measures to fix the situation. Apathetic players don’t care anymore and will soon move on if they haven’t already.
It’s when the complaining stops that I’ll really get worried about the future of EVE.
