I would like to request a specific "Tinfoil Hat" section of the forums.
Let all the "foilers" rage away over there where they can be ignored properly.

Nothing clever at this time.

Has anyone proposed a better alternative to having Devs actually play the game?

Frankly, I'm pretty happy if they've got some hands-on experience ... because otherwise they might have to go to the forums to find out how their game is doing.

Imagine what kind of a distorted reality that can lead to.

Edit: Present company excepted, of course.

As before, any suspicion of developer misconduct can be reported to Internal Affairs via email or petition. Our email is internalaffairs@ccpgames.com

That said, please note that we'll need something to go on, an event or character to look into. It's too common that we receive complaints which are based on a gut feeling, that can't be followed up on.

That's the point though, the people who are 'saying the same old **** again' don't have any evidence this time. In fact they're ignoring the all the evidence that says they are wrong.

So... when people's questions of "do the devs even play Eve anymore?" came back with a response of "yes", the reaction is to make sure that the devs do not play Eve? Clever.

If you suspect any CCP emplyoees of favoritism you should report the incident to CCP's Internal Affairs team via internalaffairs@ccpgames.com.

As a result of last year's company reorganization Internal Affairs is part of the Security team lead by Darius JOHNSON (aka CCP Sreegs) which will ensure that your complaints are investigated in a most neutral & objective manner.

So you haven't heard what the EVEO forums have to say about Darius JOHNSON

no idea what they think about Darius but i know they love CCP Sreegs long time (because he's the AntiBot or something)
This is either a skilled troll or the guy really doesn't know about DJ's past affiliations...

Yes, well, these folks aren't the brightest stars in the sky.

On a related note, I find the references to past Dev misdeeds amusing.

If you believed what was written here, BOB owned the game and had limitless wealth bestowed upon them. Big smile

What they got was a few low value T2 BPO's (a Destroyer print was the most lucurative by far) that all together added up to less income for BoB a month than I make in my spare time. Those prints were used because they were handy, not due to any noticable (on an alliance level) volume of ISK they produced.

What T20 did should not be allowed, was not allowed, and sparked much better procedures to ensure it will be caught if attempted again... but stop trying to make it sound like BOB had the game handed to them on a silver platter. Everyone present at the time that actually bothered to become familiar with the details of the situation knows better. Sensationalistic bullshit, while amusing, gets old very quickly.

Now, get back to trying to shoot yourselves in the foot. The rest of us enjoy watching the train wreck.

Just be aware, if by some weird chance you actually convinced CCP to put themselves back out of actual gameplay, the rest of the EVE community can... and will... hold you responsible for damaging the game development process with this nonsense. Smile

Making baseless accusations involving people's actual real life careers is pretty fd up.

It just shows how unhinged some people here truly are.

Evidence? Proof?


That's GOON TALK, Mister CCP Arkanon. If that is your real name.

What makes someone post like Josef Djugashvilis or Ranger 1, or strive to be a power hungry ISD volunteer hall monitor? They don't care about you, you know CCP doesn't care that you have no dignity or self respect and suck up to every authority figure you can find. Why choose to live your life like that?

Sometimes authority figures can even be correct.

I like the truth, it has a spicy after taste that I enjoy. Blink

That and I prefer not to dissolve into hysterics due to baseless accusation. Call me old fashioned.

In recent months, I have had a few experiences that have made my time with EvE quite bitter. That off-color taste was a direct result of coming into contact with what is essentially the STD of New Eden... Goons.

For one, I have a contact who was defrauded by Goons as a result of being contacted from within RECRUITMENT chat. At the time, the MOTD in the channel specifically stated that using to channel to scam was NOT ALLOWED.

The player appealed, including the fact that the channel prohibits use of the channel for such things, and his loss of ISK but was flatly denied. Ironically, the MOTD changed the very next day and was sans the scam prohibition, only now WARNING against scams. CCP continued to LIE and claim that the MOTD had changed a month before the incident, which is still a complete LIE.

Doing further research on Goons and their nefarious activities, it is hard to understand how a company, CCP, can allow a group of players to wreck such havoc on the entirety of the playerbase.

This incident, in addition to anti-playerbase events such as 'Burn Jita' (trit was less after then it was before.. LOL!!), the sponsorship and basically now ownership of Hulkageddon, the custody of virtually every tech moon, every change in game benefiting Goons more than any other group, a flaky 30-day suspension for virtually laughing away a human being's life, joke or not.... and so on and so forth.

I had come to my own personal conclusion that CCP and Goons have a deep, close relationship. Was I crazy or just looking for an answer that I could live with? Come to find out, one of CCP's most active and out front employees representing EvE, CCP Soundwave, was a Goon director, even presenting for the alliance at FanFest : See it here. Ya like that little sickness you are feeling knowing that their frontman is a f*cking Goon at heart?

Given the knowledge, information and other abilities that ANY CCP employee has at their fingertips, it would be prudent, fair and HONEST to prohibit CCP employees from participating in the game.

There is just too much B*LLSHIT Goons get away with that would not be tolerated by any other group not friendly to them. I have to believe that there are countless more CCP employees in Goon corps and blues.

These close relationships create a most unfair and unbalanced situation. Knowing beforehand changes that players are not aware of, being able to reposition and strategize before the rest of the playerbase is aware is absolutely UNETHICAL


If you replaced ever instance of GOON with BOB in the OPs post then this could have been a rant from back i nthe day when I first started playing :P

Also, didn't know CCP Soundwave was a goon. Isn't that new security guy a goon too? Screegs or whatever his name is?
