It doesn't feel like there's much point in trying to tell CCP either, they seem hellbent on doing dumb, counter-productive poo poo.

I would have been willing to pay a lot more for proper alliance skins too, but that's probably never happening :smith:

Guy is an older Eastern European who escaped from ~the commies~ (Ie trauma) and has some of that Clint Eastwood old man fear that the kids are going to make the country communist liberal pussies.

So he has on three occasions donned his old eastern euro track suit and raged war on the libs (two corp mails and his epic SA post where he demanded yall apologize to him (come on guys, that poo poo was funny)).

He was told in no uncertain terms to muzzle his poo poo or hed be removed and afaik he has done so.

The word “doxing” is derived from the term “dropping documents.” Doxing is a form of cyberbullying that uses sensitive or secret information, statements, or records for the harassment, exposure, or other exploitation of targeted individuals.

thats not a bad price compared to other free to play games and they need to make money somehow. plu its an optional purchase. nobody is making you spend the money if you can't afford it. without this sort of thing, you'd have less staff and less resources to put towards making exciting and new content. why would you want to not have the game succeed?

It would be better for the health of the game and the wealth of the devs to get 100 players to buy something for $10 each than 10 players to buy something for $50 each.

World of [Thing], Star Citizen, and half of EA's catalogue beg to differ because they don't care about the game: just the bottom line...and it's all about the whales. But a more apt analogy is probably like the joke tiers of Patreon: probably no one will buy the $1000/month premium package but if they do :homebrew:.

And that's how you get $100 monocles that, I would wager, have generated a couple grand over the last decade or whatever.

You do not understand how most games design their MTX. While yes, you do have your Whale Packages - $2000 worth of PLEX! - most people engage with MTX at the level of cost similar to a cup of coffee.

It's simple economy of scale. A thousand people who spend $5 every month is more sustainable and reliable income than one person who spends $1000 once.

Everyone can see everyone's full body (it's a button below the portrait after clicking their portrait). Not that it changes much.

They added this around 2011 and around 2012 there was the green screen background option in settings under Display&graphics - Miscellaneous to activate green screen.
You can click show info on any character, then click on the portrait and then there is a "view full body" button.
Then you do Print Screen (or take a picture with your phone and mail it to yourself) so at that point you can use paint.NET or MS Paint to start being creative with it. The green screen makes it easier/faster to change the background.
