Dear CCP

I really adore this unique and beautiful game for about 6 years of my life now. But it has come to a point where I don't know how to politely ask: "What the hell is wrong with you?", even if my goal is not to insult you, I want to accuse you, CCP.

  1. with 20 bucks/month, EVE has become the most expensive MMO out there. We got no roadmap, you cut off old events (which are basically copy paste), you use your playerbase as paying beta testers, you don't deliver the content you promised, or roll it back.
  2. Instead, you divert the players money and developers to make games nobody asked for, one of them based on crypto bs. Generally, you can do that but not while you throw Eve into the trash bin.
  3. Many items ingame are getting more and more expensive, not only looking at NES stuff but certain types of ships are almost extinct. Battleships have become very rare, carriers are absolutely useless/extinct, Titans do nothing but bridges since years. All that is a combination of flaws in game design and insane inflation, intentional hyper-inflation if talking about caps.
  4. Eve Online is about spaceships and war. // Eveflation online is a game where players fear loosing their stuff they have worked month or even years for. Scarcity creates fear and greed. Abundance let's people undock, toss stuff around and destroy some ships. Because it is REPLACEABLE.
  5. Where is the content? I might be wrong here, but I've heard that CCP focuses on story stuff but where is it? We got pirate FW, ok cool -we got zarzakh, which is basically a LP store in a transit-system, that and those mercenary dens which I barely see anyone using/attacking and at last 2 new ships that are so unholy expensive that the majority of the playerbase won't even ever see one. And that's it for 1 1/2 years of development. And all the others? Well, we've got a bit rejuvenated but actually nothing is different despite alliance had to spend billions for sov changes.
  6. It is ok if you don't listen to salty redditors. But listen to your goddamn CSM. You swapped almost your entire staff in the last decade and we don't know if you know your game anymore. One thing is for certain: it doesn't seem like many people inside CCP even play the game.
  7. Before it was yours, it was our money. You make games for the players. Players want fun. No fun = no money. Sure, you can delay this with FOMO sales and pump those numbers up whenever you need to appease your shareholders. We rely on this game because there is no other like it, but even EVE players will eventually have had enough. If you really think you can let Eve go down and rely on Vanguard or that crypto scam... we'll see how that goes. It would be a pity.

I suppose some of CCP is reading this. All I ask you for is: play the game, hire from people inside the game, start loving it again and I'm sure it will profit both players and the enterprise.
