Sadly as much I love the game play and mechanics I can longer play this game because the key area of fun for me (fleet warfare) is completely unplayable due to horrible and horrendous lag which CCP has made worse and worse with each major patch. Its a shame because I really like this game but dear god is Alliance based warfare so utterly screwed up by lag. There is nothing fun about sitting and waiting for the grid to load or staring at a black screen for 1 hour only to receive a loss mail but never having the chance to fight back.

This was obvious since p-2ttl/y2ano/dg..
Took you pretty long tbh.
Can I has your stuff?
Well if you are serious....send all ISK, ships and stuff via contract in care of Teala Te'Jir. ^_^
Well.. Sorry to hear that. Care to help out a noob capsuleer with some of your ISk then?

I agree with OP. EVE is getting worse and worse. CPP doesnt care about players, they have nice graphs and tons of money.
Last two expansion added huge lag and only few usable things.
PI is joke, EVE gate is worthless.
They failed with Sov change, we still have huge afk empires.
I see only ppl leaving left and right
You had some good stamina, if you accepted the broken fleet-warfare forthis long.
I've stopped playing some 6 month ago allready, as it was pretty much clear, that there's nothing going to change in the foreseeable future.
What amazes me most is, that it was all fine before Dominion hit the server... they really screwed up massively with that expansion.
Yeah events that happened earlier today have forced me to quit as well. We jump into system and i wait 45min to load grid. Once I loaded I couldn't warp anywhere. We lost 6 titans and 2 motherships. All we get back for an answer from CCP is "We're looking into it." Thats all we ever get. Its sucks because as a whole I love EVE but it seems that at this point in order to get anything done people need to start quiting. You may say ccp doesn't care about one (two accounts) unsubbing but I feel we have to start somewhere. CCP doesn't listen to its members input anymore.
Why am i spending 30$ a month on something that requires me to just sit and stare or do something else for 2+ hours just to log off out of bordum.
You guys do realise EVE has sucked since the Exodus expansion, to us vets....EVE was at it's prime in Chaos.
Nah... I'd say RMR was the final nail in the coffin, but we kept playing and playing and playing.... *sigh*
Thats not veteran, thats venerable... :-) . Personally, my dislike started with all those bigships. I allways thought, EvE should be the other way round. The better you get, the more you can do with smaller ships. Kinda like Starwars (movies). As a noob, you can get a post in a bighsip, manning guns or run a freighter. When youre an Ace, you sit in a hot fighter and are able to tackle the bigships. imagine, beeing launched from a crewed carrier... oh, well.

I never thought I would read these things from the EVE community, It's a very very sad day indeed.
CCP needs to wake up and take stock in what they are doing.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Heh as an alpha tester I would say I am a vet.
I miss dual mwd/ab or cruise missle kestrels
As usual the OP was apparently fine with lagfested battles as long as his side was getting the advantage from them. The Lag God giveth, the Lag God taketh away...
It is possible to play EVE without spending most of your time staring at a black screen. It is not possible to have much sympathy with someone who complains about losing a ship to lag when he joined a fleet of the size that the NC had last night.
(Note that I am not claiming any kind of ~numbers~ moral superiority - there were 600 of us in the system I was in last night. But I'm not QQing)

Well at least you don't have to pay for expansions like you do in most other MMOs :P
The problem with Eve is the lag in large fights and busy areas (same in any MMO really), that's one of the big reasons you don't see harsh death penalties in most MMOs now. It's a major headache and money drain for support to deal with weath lost to lag and bugs.
I left null a while ago.
I had a crappy pc anyway so lags always been an issue for me, its just worse now.
Im having more fun in low sec and Empire now.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
6 Titans down yesterday, not one of them logged in to the game due to black screen crashing.
CCP trying to bait people out of high sec in to 0.0 and it cant handle whats there.
I'm back in empire. Its boring as hell but at least I am getting screens loaded.
My trial character in a high-sec system can't even log in today, it just says the zone is "stuck" :P
I've been hiding in wormholes for the past year so the lag hasn't affected me. That said, when I was in 0.0 I do recall being stuck jumping in to a system and waiting for 20 minutes only to finally get in and see that my ship was already dead.
It sucked then, and it sounds like its even worse now. I'd be all for CCP holding up on any more new content until they get this issue resolved.

I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.
"You have the right not to be killed"
heh 1000 vs 1000 player fights are possible, yes!!! But only 100 vs 100 are actually fighting. And seriously, eve was at its prime BEFORE capships and big things? Seriously, might as well go play a flight sim. I get to fly small ships and as a bonus I get twitch based combat not some lame push a button wait 10 seconds for one cycle thing where its possible to micro 10 alts..
I'm glad I found this post before I was going to sink my time into this game. I was going to buy an account, I'll be watching to see if they fix this, if its as bad as you guys say, theres no way I'm even going to waste my time with this game.
Its bad in only one area of the game, which as a new player you'd likely not be part of for 6 months or more. (if ever, as not everyone enjoys large capital ship fleet fights).
Still a lot of fun to be had in EVE outside of this one area and I wouldn't toss the entire game aside over an issue that might never impact you.

Not to mention that CCP had pretty much fixed the Lag problem in Apocrypha (still best expansion ever IMO). If they did it once, then it is possible that they can do it again. They changed something with Dominion that fuxx0red fleet lag... my suspicion is that they know pretty well what caused it by now, but that they're unwilling to delete the feature involved (fleet finder).
Meanwhile the 0.0 map will stay pretty much static, we space holders will get to farm Sanctums and get rich, and rent out space to new alliances... and 0.0 will change from a military game to a military/diplomacy game.

Huh...EvE rocks! OMG just because one player doesn't wish to play for a bit right now doesn't mean this is a horrible game. In fact ever day I am in game I see people in the chat channel say, "I'm back! I took a break from the game for a bit. Couldn't stay away." Seriously...no day I am on in game that his does not happen. We all hit walls from time to time. As for CCP and lag in game...come June 23 that should all change. ^_^ CCP is reconfiguring the servers so they operate faster. This should help ease the latency issues that some playes encounter in certain areas of the game.
