The Fearless newsletter was taken out of context from the get-go. EveNews24 showed a "surprising amount of media savvy" (not my words) in leaking that when they did. It was spin, and it got people riled up.

The concern is real, but Arnar had already stated in a dev blog about 2 months ago that there would be no non-vanity items in the store. It was the perfect confluence of events, decontextualized leaks, and a shitty patch* that caused the rage.

*It was confirmed to blow up hardware, including my own.

"Hissy fit over nothing" misses the point completely unless you intentionally focus on only one bit of the entire fiasco.

That.

This. Really this.

PLUS the pack mentallity of " yay, something to rage, let's go... " which is confirmed by the "new" General online threads popping up.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying that it was much ado about nothing. As Seleene said on Eve Radio, the patch had something for everyone to be mad about. I should be more mad that the game blew out the VRAM on my video card and I had to buy a new one, but I'm not the kind of person to spam forums with incessant crap.

People had quite serious concerns that needed to be addressed. I for one am glad that the protest had the result of convincing CCP to address those concerns in a professional manner.

I am too. I just hate trolls, but they're an inevitable part of life on the Internet. v0v

Patch burning video cards? legitimate concern, and I am sure that people like you for example, dealt with it with better ways than spamming forums with incessant crap. As addressed on my previous threads, there were ways and ways.
Spamming of forums with caps on, shooting little pixels in jita and throwing 8 year' old kids tantrum was not what motivated ccp to address hardware issues and serious concerns. It was again, reality of the situation, something that needed to be addressed and im sure it was by petitions and the normal mature ways to deal with the situation.
The silly forum protesters spamming all over had nothing to do with natural company decisions which continues to be implemented as programmed since its inception.
Nothing really new happened.

What happened this week guys, I missed it?

(I'm kidding, I just stayed the hell out of it)

[Senn Typhos]

I feel like there's no point discussing this, judging by the replies in this thread.

People like Miz and Revan - I don't know what to call them, CCP supporters in this instance, or something - are just going to keep acting like they have NO idea why players are so upset. Like it's ONLY about the monocles. Like there was one TINY issue that got fixed and we were just being whiny for nothing. Like it was CCP's wisdom that brought these minor changes, not the action of players.

I really don't know how to be constructive about it, it's just obscene.

[Jade Constantine]

There is no point discussing that aspect Senn. Just ignore it and move on.

Or make more constructive posts like this of course.
On a side note, there isnt really anything to be discussed, end of the day there will be people who finds screaming and shouting and shaving avatar heads something quite hot. 
Your protest was at least a bit original and didnt include forum posts with caps on and profane words. So there was a single plus there a measure of pleasure and entertainment blended with it all.

Do what I do: type out the response you'd really like to give, the one that violates every rule of the forum and would singe eyebrows across the Internet...

Then CTRL-A and delete it without posting. You'll feel better and won't actually bash your head against the wall.

You do that too ?

It's a very good method that works well - been using it for a long while myself. I would encourage more people to try it out.
