Fine by me, I'll vote with my wallet and…
I'll vote with my wallet and not play "pay to win" type games. No such thing as "free" to play. Someone has to pay and frankly I want the game to cater to me the paying player.
I find players in LFG to be poor players in general.
The reasons for offsite LFG or other means is purely as a filtering tool. Just being able to follow the simplest of directions eliminates quite of a few of the players you don't want to team w…
Malcanis,
Here are a few things I would like to see.
1. JIta chat spam. Yes, EVE is a harsh place and seeing the Contract Scam in Jita was quite funny, but its soo old and needs to go.
2. POS UI improvements, already in the works (I hope)
…
It matters to me, F2P end up being a huge ad with pop-ups wanting you to spend money. I vote with my wallet, I'll stick to P2P games and never ever spend a dime on F2P games, just hog up server space and bandwidth on F2P games.
This makes me go back to a discussion with Zwill and Black Pebble about getting pvp zones full of people. Amazing how fast pvp zones filled up when a dev ventures in there.

You have to remember, too, that EVE is a game of commitment. Some people are extremely invested in it. I mean, in-ves-ted to the point they would probably have a panic attack at the though…
My way is vote with my wallet.
I will pay for games with a monthly sub that does not have F2P.
Any F2P game I play I will never ever spend money on and do nothing but hog up hard drive space and go on their forums and demand more game access.
Nice article Victor.
Given the MMO market as things currently stand I have doubts about PO. Too many other games have offered pie in the sky and didn't deliver.
The game they are modeling after Eve Online failed in China (although its being reboot…

Good topic
We will no doubt see more of the "sandbox" no level type games in the future however the EvE skill point system isn't without flaws.
In general, players like to level and see tangable progress and building. How fast that progress is alw…
I think it has more todo with MMOs being dumbed down than players being too smart for MMOs. I think the other part would be players who actually spend money want to be the ones catered to, not the free to play crowd. The companies making the MMOs ha…

Combat is just one factor that makes the overall game fun. I do agree that poor combat design can ruin an otherwise great game.
Memo to MMO game designers, can we skip the kill 10 of X missions, Take X to NPC A over in Zone B and no more escort NPC…
I certainly miss CoH.
One thing I really see when I have tried out other games, none of them do as many of the things CoH does well. Sure, a game might do one or two things better but then just fail on something else.
On the topic at hand. It smel…
