I (and many others maybe) have been taken by surprise with the latest mineral buy order removal. I understand the change but I guess I am frustrated with the lack of timeline or communication. Had I known what I know now I would have made very different decisions regarding talent training or territory claiming. I feel like had I saw this coming I might have either invested less talents into mining unit gameplay or rushed to get premium tiles with better ores elsewhere in the universe (which is now likely too late as they are claimed). I feel like most other games I play when such a large change as this is made, especially with the poor communication and considering the expectations that talent points are refunded. Please consider a Talent Point refund =)

I think EVE plays me...

Subscriptions keep out the riff-raff. /thread

Because they are terrible game design. Ready for every new player forums post to be "How do I make enough money to pay for Dac's" and "what's best income/hr" ? This promotes the catch 22 where people play to pay for the game that they are playing to pay for. God forbid people would log in to actually do something other than grind their subscription. Eve was a glorious universe before PLEX came along and completely destroyed everything.

Because subscription model is the best model.

Never worry, its trendy to complain about subscription models but NovaQuark seems to have a backbone. I think Sub model fits their vision and they won't be swayed so easy.

More important than the reasons already mentioned is the type of player or culture you're trying to foster when deciding on a payment model. I support NovaQuarks move for a subscription model for this reason and hope they never have to change it.
