I miss Minmatar ships looking unfinished. They’re supposed to be junky, cobbled-together, made of things found in the bin, and now they’re basically just brown Caldari ships.
I also miss the pre-F2P era. You had a two-week trial, three-week if you had a friend invite you, and beyond that, you had to pay to keep playing. It seems to me that it weeded out the non-serious players.
I miss the old CCP. Somewhere along the line, they had their grimdark soul sucked out and replaced with casual garbage. There’s still a glimmer of hope for them, I think… I hope. When I started playing, it was my dream to work at CCP and help make EVE more grimdark and awesome than it already was. But with CCP being the way it is today, especially now being owned by Pearl Abyss, even if I got a free college education and 72 of my own personal toothless 18-year-old hookers as a signing bonus, I wouldn’t do it. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror having helped perpetuate the dumpster fire that is EVE today. I only pay in the hope that CCP will turn around, get their ■■■■ together, and make EVE great again, and I want to give them the chance to do that.
