Am I the only one who noticed that after someone's departure from CCP Games, which just so happens to be lead designer.

Policies have changed which is a stealth nerf to scamming, just days later!

And now, we have Goonswarm.

The largest group of players, who takes pride in ruining Your game. Hasn't stopped complaining and crying on several sites, and many forum threads here. Why? Because their game is ruined.

It's funny, any error, or server hiccup which saves them, they troll. Any server error or hiccup which doesn't play in their favor they cry. Every article on TMC website was utter rage, demanding things like forcing the opposite fleet to relog so they can kill them. Along with threads and articles where they can throw their propaganda.

So, I will watch the next few days with popcorn by my side!

"Go Goon or Go Home"

Perfect description of the biggest problem with Eve.

Nothing changed. These rules were always in the naming policy.

These changes were probably finalized well before Soundwave announced his depature. Also if you actually read the changes and are familiar with CCP's long standing policy on these sorts of activities you would know that nothing has changed.

Nothing has changed with regards to 99.99% of scams in Eve. Besides, Goons don't scam by pretending to be someone else, they scam by pretending to let you into their corp, move your Titan, or any number of other things.

I personally know that at least one corp attempting to pretend to be Eve University has been forcefully renamed in the past, probably more than one.

Hello forum alt!

We goons (by that I mean all of us, I wouldn't want a ban for pretending to be a Goon) are feeling a bit iffy about a poorly worded 'clarification' that suggests impersonation is now banned. As the CEO of The Scope such matters concern me deeply.

Oh and grr Goons, or something.

/sincerely, the CEO of Scope.

Meh.

I fail to see the enjoyment in scamming.

Eve is a sandbox, not a litter box.

Sadly, internet space games is where some people come hide from their RL. When their "hideout" gets shaken, its their whole world that takes a hit. And for those pour souls, it is a hit that hurts !! Smile

If the plebes are whining about someone/something else, then they're not whining about management. This is a Good Thing.

[1] Why "201" instead of "Management 101"? "201" is used so people don't realize how mind boggling easy management is (once you come to grips with your lack of a moral compass.)

Very true. The psychological aspects of long term games like EVE can be profound on the weak.
