Jita Park Speakers Corner

And it was a really bad idea.

Just FYI we worked our guts out last week.





You're welcome.

Thanks for that Malc, really looking forward to seeing some of the stuff thats coming based on whats been teased so far.

most corrupt developemtn staff.

im sorry but what... someone has obviously never played SWG or dealt with SOE.

Also, corruption is quickly weeded out by the players the devs are directly involved in ( you know, every group has that ONE white knight running around with his political correctness and holier than thou attitude), and the consequences for royally screwing up in CCP, like any company, are things most people would want to avoid being in the position to receive.

In short, if the CSM and CCP were as self-centered and corrupt as you say, why are there no ttians/cynos/sov in wormholes? why is high/low not nullsec yet? why is there not an alliance of 10-20 "elite" players somehow dominating every coalition in the game in 1000v1 combat? why is highsec still the best money-maker in the game for risk/reward? why is industry hardly viable in nullsec compared to the scale of high?

or the glaring one, if all groups were so corrupt, youd see CCP devs secretly showing "favoritism" in who gets DC'ed in a fight instead of the whole node crashing. hell, nullsec would be alot more imblanced than it is now. and someone would have gotten titans reimbursed from monday.

But no, 2 coalitions, the culmination of 10 eyars of social and political engineering, just dealt eachother fairly serious and lasting wounds, in a surprise fight, in a war thats been fairly stagnant with no clear winner for 6-8 months (if you count Halloween as an indirect extension of Fountain).

probably the ONLY nullsec benefitting mechanic in the game i havent seen CSM try to have rebalanced/nerfed HARD in favor of a better game is force projection, and thats because its hard to balance without making an entire class of ships worthless.

so obviously your claims of bias and corruption are unfounded save for a few remote instances that were DEALT with, and one phrase uttered by a CSM member within a alrger discussion in which was ongoing and relevant.

But go ahead, keep complaining about how bad your representation is, cry about it, throw fits in the forums, your efforts would be better spent trying to fix your own RL government representation, at least that you can have hard proof of corruption for.

so we are talking about that one guy that spawned a blueprint that one time

not exactly a trend is it

i hope noone mentioned supercaps in the winter summit, that'd be two summits in a row and absolute proof of systemic corruption in the csm

I Google'd that (I'm not promoting Google either)

sure enough EVE hands down....I even Binged it..same.

I thought maybe someone had bribed these search engines....so I went back and installed Netscape web browser and used ask Jeeves, same results.


well this is a lot like the famous lie, " If you Like Your Doctor, you can keep him." and all of that stuff. Just like the real world big over site is always a good thing. Oh! wait, that is what my Government is telling me.

This man speaks truth.

It's hard to be too specific on the official forums because it's "classified" within CCP - meaning me speaking of it might get me banned.

There is a leaked internal CCP document describing what happened - you can find it pretty easily with a search engine. The misconduct involved the developer misusing his access to information, and it happened (or was leaked) in mid 2013.



You probably weren't around when this happened.

CCP didn't try to be transparent about it. Quite the contrary - they did everything in their power to hide and obscure it. The only reason it even reached attention was because a specific player did the legwork of proving it.

That specific player was banned from the game, and even his name was censored from the forums. Some "transparency."

Future cases of misconduct were treated similarly - hiding them as much as possible.

CCP only publicly admitted wrongdoing as an absolute last resort.

I'd be more than happy to e-mail you a link of the document... but there's no way in hell I'm posting it on the forums.

Maybe you're trying to bait me into getting myself banned?



Oh please.

It's not the admission that is corporate suicide - it's allowing it to happen in the first place.

They had to admit to it because people knew. The entire community found out.

Inaction would have been far more suicidal than admission.

ahahahaha
