Not sure that devs posting in and bumping recruitment threads is exactly the best idea. First, the simple act of dev-tagging one of these threads is like a bit of an endorsement (in fact I don't think I've ever seen one dev tagged before). Second, the dev pretty much reveals himsel to be a member of the corp in question. And there is the simple fact he violates the forum rules, not that it doesn't happen in that forum, just not usually with a dev tag.

Minor in the grand scheme of things - almost entertaining - but it certainly made me roll my eyes. Just goes to show you that training your folks in conflicts of interest is important stuff.


Have no fear iam still here. I have been banned - un banned - locked - unlocked - character transfer denied - character transfer in limbo.

Now that my friend Argus has pointed this out OMG WTF CCP really. I hope this is a hack job if it isn't then let the revolt begin.

I think the following sentance sums the whole thing up well.

CCP really is nothing more than a Joke.

Edit: actually going over CCPs Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
because they are spending an additional 50% on R&D this year their they have shown the first 6 months of the year as operating at a loss.

But that is not the stranger thing, they have blobbed Games revenue in one pot so as to prevent the discovery as to the number of subsribers the game actually has now.

So here is the question, has CCP actually sunk so low as to need gambling income to stay afloat long enough to actually finish some of its other possible revenue streams? Is this why Trebor said they could make a snap judgement and we would not like it?

Is CCP Games now a slave to gambling? Although it is kind of scary with people spending tens of thousands on gambling it is very possible. It would also explain Jester telling us that complaining the gold magnates etc is shooting our selves in the foot.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

so let's see; we were told not to have a thread dominated by a small number of people.

we could always have a wider group of posters if CCP decided to let some one other than guard give us an update. or, let guard do it. either is fine with me.

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

Looks like they cleaned that mess up pretty quick:

Have fun, good luck with the recruitment.



Of course, being dev moderated still leaves a blue tag on the thread itself, but at least it looks less like an endorsement.

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_

Maybe now they will wake up and see where the slipperly slope of allowing ****** conflicts of interest can lead you.

And lol at 5 dollar plex packs. Karma's a *****.

In the lifetime of EVE I'd say BIG and indeed the people behind EVEMON have done more than this so called lottery people SOMNER!

Does somewhat smell and perish the thought eve did a vote asking the players how to reward them for something they did not ask to be rewarded for!

I do know though that I see a **** load of spam in local about this BLINK crud and frankly reading CCP sucking up to them is just a lament too far and with that - bad CCP.

They can find the time to moderate a thread late at night on a Sunday, but in more than a week, they cannot find time to update this thread. ^^

Can't blame them for doing simple forum maintenance, simply because the matter at hand only gets decided by the top dogs, not some dev. And we all know how useless Hilmar is. I mean if we'd learn that Hilmar has been sniffing coke last 5 years, perpetually drunk and being entertained by 7 hookers every night then at least he'd have a valid and cool excuse for not showing up, not leading by example and not giving a fck. But... you know.

Then I wonder how many of us will still be here to take it...

Of course I assume that's the plan: drag this out so long that anyone actually interested in the outcome gives up and leaves, so that any sort of customer survey appears favorable to CCP.
