If you don't like sandbox games, go play another game.

If you don't like developing sandbox games, go develop another game.

In sandbox games, the content is player driven, not dev driven.

Enticing players away from the game so they can chase a bunch of narcissistic icelandic nerds who are giving away free stuffz (that they generated out of thin air) reeks of desperation, cluelessness and sure speaks volumes about the state of the game itself.

There's a place for people who like free crap, risk-free PVP, and testing really bad ideas, it's called Sisi. Go have your brownnosefest there. TQ is for people who like a harsh, but fair, player-driven sandbox game. Keep it that way.

We had a fleet going there awhile (from Live Events channel) but that fell apart for now..
I went closer to where I think anything is gonna happen first, and are monitoring the star map for cynos, pilots in space etc.

Nothing, except I see where TEST are holding up..

To do or not to do. That is the question.

Well said.

Jesus you bitter twisted azzbandit, ffs, CCP devs are people too, maybe, just maybe, they felt like ******* around today and their CCP personae?

WTF is wrong with that?

AkJon, they built the sandbox, and allow you to play in it (for a fee).

If they occasionally want to play in it themselves, and interact with the other kids as themselves for a change, they certainly have every right to do so.

You are perfectly free to not participate.

They have the legal right to do whatever they want, including shitting on the game, neglecting the game, introducing rampant MT into the game, or 'playing' the game as 'gods'. That's what resulted in a few dozen of them being let go iirc.

Given my track record of being right about everything in the face of vehement outrage from the fanbois around here, I think it's a safe bet I'm right this time too. I don't mind doing the heavy lifting in the face of irrational tears and flaming.

You're welcome.

According to the rules quoted in the OP, they will be using generally-available ships, mods and implants, and not using any dev tools or commands.

Bullshit! Its a trap. Attract a bunch of players on to one node thats "reinforced" so it lags like crazy (cause it won't be reinforced, to give the devs a meta gaming advantage Shocked), use dev only modules (doesn't sat special equipment is not going to be used, just no special ships Blink ) to bubbled the entire grid with a 5 AU sphere, fire off an aggression sphere that causes CONCORD to consider the players as hostile (even in lowsec and null, cause they control CONCORD duh! Roll), and watch the carnage. Then they fire a really big version of the old AoE titan Doomsday which can hit pods and collect those juicy killmails. Never trust a developer I say Ugh

Did they grind for those ships, mods and implants? And for the fat lootz in their cargos?

Can I make an announcement that gets put on everyone's log-in screen when I go PVPing?

Yes, this would be worse if they brought their god mode ships, but they have before and no doubt they will again.

They also said that this is like a trial run for something BIG.

Anyway, fanbois are gonna hate, most of the bitter vets have left. It's no surprise I'm the only voice of reason in here.
