EVE General Discussion

My beloved Devs, allow me to clarify one thing right of the bat. I am NOT asking for CCP to acknowledge James 315's sovereign claim to highsec systems, or his titles of Father of the New Order, Supreme Protector of Halaima, or Savior of Highsec. I (unlike many carebears) am not asking for any special treatment whatsoever for James or his followers. 

I'm asking for a clarification of of CCP's position concerning The New Order's activities in Highsec, particularly bumping, not for my sake, but for the miners.

You see, despite countless rejected petitions, and the tireless efforts of our great GMs to explain to each disgruntled miner that what they've experienced is emergent gameplay that in no way violates the EULA, many miners are still laboring under the delusion that our permaban is just around the corner. Worse yet, the problem is exacerbated by the cookie-cutter replies some GMs issue to distraught carebears of "We're looking into it." More experienced players know that this is a complete "****-off" dismissa designed to shut you up for a whilel. They're not looking into it, they have IMPORTANT things to look into. None the less, it does a great disservice to the miners, sustaining their hope that James and us agents are one bump away from the ban-hammer. The sooner they realize that CCP is not coming to save them, the sooner they can accept our presence and move on, adapt, or who knows, maybe even embrace The New Order. So please bare in mind that I ask this not for myself or James, or The New Order, but for the poor miners who stagnate in their perpetual wait for Superman.

What we need is an authoritative, citable, linkable statement from a Dev, simply stating that Superman isn't coming. The New Halaima Code of Conduct, as well as the act of bumping to enforce it, are compliant with the Terms of Service.

The carebears must now adapt, and they're understandably upset, they're not used to being asked to do that. By issuing such a statement, CCP would make the transition that much easier for them. The truth will set them free.

In fact, I'd like to take it one step further than merely acknowledging the legality of The New Order.

Who among you Devs, GMs, and ISDs will dare come out of the closet as fans of The New Order? Supporters??Members?!?! :D

I eagerly await your responses, peppered with the rage of many a bear. 

Thank you so much for your time,
Immortally yours,

"OMG PLEASE NOTICE MEEEEEE!!!!"

I remember the bumpageddon movies.

/c

Could you send me your fit for your bump ship please? Im assuming you must be a highly skilled pilot, and i fear i may not have the correct combat skills to achieve this elite form of pvp.

goddamn every miner bumping thread just generates pages of anger

james 315 owes me some popcorn

Your darling James315 inability to understand some basic stuff, like for instance, in a SANDBOX game people can choose to play differently from him, I can safely admit Darwin law is something he has no clue about.

Nor you either.

If any CCP employee answered this, I'd

1) laugh and
2) whine about the dozens of threats opened in such a manner instead of filing petitions etc.

Hey OP, I'm glad you didn't ask CCP Hellmar to respond.

What is this... I dont' even... are there rumors flying about banning bumpers??? a totally legit gameplay tactic?
