EVE General Discussion

It was just that those who bought tickets are getting an early taste. They said they would give them out for other events and stuff. So yeah not intended to be rare.

What are you doing, CCP?! I mean, really??

People who have been 'exploiting' mechanics with ghost training now get loads of free ships too - yay! The ships aren't even tied to omega status! Come on - this is stupid and ridiculous and people rightly should be pissed. There are going to be people who are sat at fanfest getting 1 of each whilst others have 100s on top of all the passive isk for the gamey BS they pulled with ghost training - how is this fair? (EVE is not fair blah blah)

I hate all the CCP bashing but this is completely stupid and the timing could not be worse. CCP please wake the **** up - people care about this game, they are invested in it - that is why they get angry. Every decision you are making is pissing more and more people off - especially as it seems that little thought to the wider impact is being put into any decision or at least, how decisions are being implemented. You have a great game here, a unique one - please, please take a step back and look at the damage certain decisions are having. Conflict drivers are needed, ghost training needs to be stopped dead, this BS should be reversed, some kind of change in citadel mechanics so they are not such a pain in the ass to get rid of - especially if systems have 10's and 10's of them etc. etc. Stop with the aesthetic crap and sort out problems that fundamentally impact conflicts, the economy (I dont mean manipulate it but stop nonsense like ghost training), balance and that make people actually want to log on.

Sometimes you make me feel sad CCP

How about just limit them to 1 of each ship per ticket purchased as originally advertised rather just giving people untold amount of isk?

I mean just look at jita and see how much the ships are trading for atm because they are supposedly rare due to supposedly limited availability

So remove all the ships and then reissue them? What about the ones already sold? Should CCP reverse all the sales? Also if you check the video I originally posted. They are not rare ships.



You seem to have a misconception about my role. I am a player Volunteer whos job it is to moderate the forums and filter feedback to CCP. I am trying to get an understanding of what the issue is and what players would like to happen. So I am not sure where you are getting this "Accomplice by ignoring it" from.

CCP could use the existing reward mechanism and hand out copies of them to every account in eve crashing the price to limit the damage (this can be done with a click of a button, you already got the ships and the gift mechanism)

Then give a different gift to each attendees, one per ticket.


Or you can watch as several dozen people become filthy rich. Wait i remember something like this from before, ahh yes, ccp has printed and handed out tech 2 bpos to their buddies. Has ccp checked who is going to benefit from this "intended" action and if they have connections to ccp employees?

At the very, very least it should be tied to omega accounts but even then I don't know if it is a solution. I mean they could physically remove ships from those that received them but that causes another PR disaster. The ideal solution is for CCP to think a bit more before implementing something that will fundamentally **** people off. It should have been one of each ship per ticket.

I don't know what CCP can do now that the horse is bolted - I guess the point (there was one somewhere, ha!) was that a little thought to wider impacts when implementing decisions like this would avoid these situations. CCP must know how imbalanced the amount of ships different people will receive (for a variety of reasons - legit alts, ghost training etc.) and they must have known at this time that something like this would blow up in their face.

My ideal solution is that this impacts future decisions that CCP makes so that some of these PR disasters are avoided and the health of the game can be improved. Sorry if that was not the answer you were looking for.

They are T2-Cruisers, tho. Good luck flying them as an Alpha....

By initially limiting them to fanfest attendees, they are by definition rare as not all EvE players went to Fanfest, so that part of the argument is just quite frankly dumb. Once they are released to the whole player base, if they ever do (as it wouldnt be like CCP to ever go back on their word would it?), thats when they then dont become rare.

In how can ccp recify this, quite simply they cant, as the damage is already done. They may as well just now issue them to all accounts, and give fanfest attendess an alternative "thank you", why there should be in game rewards for out of game events is just beyond me and borders on RMT/Pay to Win.

Nonsense. We know you are Hilmar, for Hilmar has many faces, all of them identifiable by ISD tags it seems

As for understanding it, I'm trying to as well. All I keep hearing is blah blah Ghost Farm blah blah alpha account blah blah rich getting richer. I can't blame CCP if they are perplexed by a lot of it, tomorrow there will be a reddit post about how some CCP employee took and hour AND 5 MINUTES for lunch one day last week and why is is terribly unfair to the playerbase.

The article I read when the CONCORd ships were announce said per account. I distinctly remember mentioning it to my corp mate who already had fanfest tickets, I jokingly told him to be sure to contract my a couple. I'm going to remind him when he logs on today.
