Erm, you can sell those ships for 450b isk and buy yourself some uberships or super rare BPOs.

How far must the balance be tipped before it is considered "destroyed"?

Maybe some are interested in righting that balance before it gets that far.

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

I don't get mad when someone checkmates me in chess because it's just a game.

I do get mad when someone cheats at chess because it's just a game.

In both cases it's just a game, but they represent enormous differences in the implications.

The apologist obtuseness is beyond contempt.

They should refund the fanfest tournament people their plex back, it seems we are the only people who have actually paid for this ship now. I didn't mind giving away 30 plex to enter as it was a bit off fun(I say a bit because it was so badly organised it was unreal) and for charity, but truth be told my main incentive was the ship as a rare ship collector I cant help feel I should sell everything I have and just have my isk in my wallet before CCP devalues my entire asset worth overnight.

They basically handed out the ISK equivalent of a supercapital hull to 30 people. I'm sure that will not affect the balance in any way.

I always try to understand the other side in an argument, but I just can't see it this time.

If they had given 30 special scorps to Goons, the game could literally have collapsed by now from unsubbing. That's the problem. The fact that it was Somer and not Goons is meaningless.

next time it might be.
it might also be nyxes not scorpions.

and this is why allowing them to hand out **** to people in secret is a terrible idea.

Yay, this account hasn't had its signature banned. or its account, if you're reading this.

If the CSMs response to this is along the lines of "this is fine, anyone who doesn't agree is just a child who is jealous" then... haha, oh wow

I'll be glad to be done with this company, and with this community, if thats how it works

30 supercapitals is what? it's like 2-3% of PL fleet?

Last time i've heard about PL they had 1500 members and each of them had titan or supercarrier (public info from Shadoo on Alliance Tournament)

yea, these "30 supercapital hulls" will really HEAVILY AFFECT ballance Shocked

CCP is always good for a laugh.

You have to appreciate people taking actions without thinking about the consequences.

Maybe one day I can start a marginally popular video game company and do stupid sh!t just because I feel like it.

I'm sure there are entities in this game that WILL be affected if their enemy shows up with some additional supers. Mate, not everyone in this game is in PL (yet).
And what will it be next time? 30 titans? 20 stations? What is your price?

I run 6 'main' accounts and 5 for training toons to sell. If I lose any isk on the SIW I currently possess, it will be due to CCP allowing blink employees to engage in insider trading with them for ~6 weeks. Simply unacceptable. So, I have started letting my accounts lapse, it will be -11 on my end when all is said and done if CCP doesn't do something to fix this and make sure it doesn't happen again. GG.

That's your right brother, and I'd miss you.

But at the end of the day, CCP is a company that neither you nor I own. The only thing they owe us is access to EVE online when we pay them our sub, and only so long as they offer EVE online as a service. God knows they've made move after move I've disliked in my 6 years of playing. If they do something I can't stand, Im simply going to quit and go play something else (like SC, since it's going to kill EVE anyway).

The posistion of the CSM members who are saying this is no big deal is correct. I'm not saying that because I'm getting anything for it (*me waits for Ishukone Scorp with ghetto rims from CCP*), but because I simply find all this crying unworthy of a mature community. It looks more like WoW forums around here than what you'd expect from a game populated by grown men.

Anyone who dones't like what the game company does should ball up and unsub and be done with it.

if you carry thourgh on this, all good, at least you'll be putting your money where you mouth is, no matter how silly I think it is to stop playing a game because the game maker gave someone else some pixels.

I think the main cause for outcry here is the repeated attempts by CCP to regain the trust they lost from incidents like BoB and Incarna.

Go back and read Hilmar's letter of apology after the 'Greed is Good' incident and take it into account with this situation.

Actions speak louder than words and this is a lot like what CCP does time and time again, favoritism for whatever reason without regards to the bulk of their playerbase.

If this was the first time something like this happened there would be whining but not of this magnitude.

Not today spaghetti.

You know better than that James. i do exactly understand the issue, and find that "issue" unworthy of anger be a grown man. If you don't like what is happening, don't be a whiney child about it.

Have the balls to unsub, walk away and don't give CCP your money and tell all your freinds to not play EVE online. But don't you try to look down on me because I'm not reacting immaturely like you are.
