Seeing the current Eve Online CSM vote in progress I can't vote. Alpha's can't vote and that's fair enough. Eve Online has become more restrictive for the non paying Alpha's. I had paid for two accounts for years back in the day till the souring/mystery code fiasco. That was the bulk of the straw that broke this camels back. I've waffled for a long time about that here. But to see Alpha's have level 4 mission access removed now under CCP's 'need to stop botting is very shoddy.
Typical CCP, who implement 101 new things then don't calculate the obvious. Like stopping 7 and 14 day trials and making them non-time limited. What (insert ocean of sarcasm) harm could come from allowing anyone to create an unlimited amount of free disposable accounts.... Which CCP has just given a ton of new skills/features/game mechanic access......
Removing Level 4 access peeved me off as it's my mainstay activity as a player, Omega or Alpha. Alpha's in Level 4's was a great move for me even before they had access to racial battleships. It's a challenge to try and do more with less. Less skills, less ships, less fits. Removing them has me removed from the game. I've not done much in PvE level 4's in the last few years but it was nice to have the option. It was fun to theory craft and fit ships for.....
CCP give'th and CCP take'th away. Makes me wonder why I should bother(Mystery code PTSD - TRIGGERED).
Whats next, Alpha's get reverted to time limited again. I wonder how much of a shot to the foot that would be for their active player numbers. CCP give themselves so much rope.....
