A month ago CCP's actions built up and got me peeved so much that I "rage" unsubscribed.
I was glad to have done it. From what I've seen I haven't missed anything. Nothing has changed to draw me back. Maybe the teaser of PVE changes will be something. Time will tell.
I was trapped in a way. Constant training of a character for more skill points for the sake of doing so. Stuck in a routine that worked for me on one level but did little else beyond the Status Quo. Sometimes that's not enough. Especially with the newer methods of selling and buying SP cheapening the game imho. I won't waffle on about that or the many issues. A lot of other people are continuing to express their feelings about CCP, Eve Online and the CSM.
Well worth reading:

Also of note is that Dev blogs are also lacking this year:

The CSM seems to be weak in communication with their constituents. Like all politicians they seem to only see the player base as a means to an end. Getting elected. Once elected they have the only true thing they need, their special interest groups. the real people they answer to and take orders from.

I thought the chart on CSM attendance was interesting.
That's a lot of red, just saying....
I know or rather I hope I will return to Eve. I did mention before that if my interest is peeked again I could run a few trial accounts or maybe actually use one of the two 60 day codes I have. See if it is worth coming back.
A month is a short time and so far nothing yet has changed to the parts of Eve that I love and would call "my" gameplay. CCP is slow and I expect the game to change little in a few month's. I think that any changes will take a while even a year....
Speaking of trials and testing the waters, I read with interest:
