EVE General Discussion

Shut up you tool.

If you don't want to use the free SP then don't - be the little b*tch martyr you are. Personally I'll be looking forward to recieving the 100,000+ SP I feel the outage warrants.

very mature comment. but i guess its what i expect from someone who thinks canned pvp is real pvp.


PS i am an experienced eve player but i sold my main and started over to freshen up my experience.

What do you expect? How about you just STFU and let CCP decide whether to compensate people or not, instead of posting on here like a little tard? You bring it on yourself...

i lost about 6 hours of training. which is a drop in the bucket in eve. and i am not worried about it.

CCP is responsible for server security, which in this instance wasn't secure.

can i haz your sp ?

That means you (and others) had the potential to lose more. What if I was going away for a few weeks and had set time out to put in a large skill. But when I got home I realised I couldn't log on? If that had happened I doubt you would be so lenient.

I can't really stand this whole "it's not their fault" mentality. They're running a business, and they didn't take the needed precautions against a quite likely threat. It's not like a volcano blew up or something. That being said, i do know they did their best and worked their asses off last night, and as a human i appreciate it, however as a customer, i only see someone who did their job which they're paid for. Long story short, they failed to provide a service for which we're paying for.

And not only the service was offline for a day, but it came back online when some people in the EU timezone were already at work, so it may have taken even longer to fix their queues. You need to remember that for some people 64 sp is a big deal. I for one got less than 2m sp between two accounts, 64k sp is like 5% of the sp of my main pilot. Luckily the queues were full on both my chars, so no loss for me in that regard, but the point still stands, the training time loss IS a big deal for some people.

Now, i too agree that a SP reimbursement is not the answer, as this issue is more of a "out of game" issue, rather than an ingame one. The most logical approach would be to simply extend everyone's playtime by 1 day, and possibly even roll back the game to yesterday's dowtime. However this solution costs the company money, which is why they may prefer the sp option.

I'm new to Eve, but as someone who works in customer service, this whole "suck it up" mentality is not how you run a business.

P.S. i don't even know why i'm replying to a thread who's main argument was that the ddos was a conspiracy to gain some easy sp.

If you really cared about CCP you wouldn't be trying to control them like this. And you wouldn't be cluttering their forums with a whiny thread like this. You'd let them do their thing.

I completely disagree, seeing how the fault is with CCP and the Criminal (competitor) who did the DDOS attack.

CCP's fault

1) Make sure the software exploits are covered to protect your client database and their personal information. This usually means you hire an outside firm to attempt to hack your systems to find exploits. I was on the Sony network when the accounts were hacked and it was absolutely Sony's fault. To close your eyes to crime is not responsible to your client base.

2) We are told constantly by CCP when petitioning for a ship reimbursement that there was NO fault on the server log files, so sorry you don't get your ship back!!! Even though, we know (at least some of the time) it was the fault of the client crashing, etc... So, yes CCP needs to compensate the 500,000 subscribers that are trusting them with their CC numbers and other personal data..... and luckily most mindless gamers such as myself are happy with just some extra SP points.


Criminal's fault
1) What's there to say about crime, this game encourages it. They could be competitors merc.......


Don't punish the player base for the fault of the criminal and be responsible for your own house....

Enough said.
