Nice job breaking roles CCP. You created a bad bug. Fix it immediately.

You do bring up good points.

Confirmed here too. I joined the corp just a week ago and have absolutely no roles, so this is really something that needs to be fixed ASAP.

A week after they fix it we see a thread 'Secret key combination reveals all player locations in Local!' Roll

Oh **** son.

THAT's what all the calendar spam was from. I had just assumed it was ops I would likely blow off to go get drunk or troll the forums.

Welp. This is KIND OF A MAJOR ISSUE, CCP.

wat?

you know what this means? any low-level peon spy currently has access to information that can play a rather major role on the strategic scale. this is broken right now. it affects everyone in null. at least the spaceholders.

I like this feature.

A) It shows people use EVE GATE
B) It pisses off people with retardedly large sized Alliances
C) Everyone can feel the love a Starbase fuel technician feels

+1 to this feature.

Now, if you could also put in a calendar event + 1 email per hour for any account that is going to expire in the next 24 hours, even if its on auto pay, just to ram home the sheer size of the problem, we could see a disturbance in the force :-)

If you can't approach a tower and see how much fuel is in it, you should not have these calendar events. That's how roles are supposed to work. I guess that's a bit difficult to understand though, heh!!!

We are looking into this at the minute - thanks :)

Well, I came across this interesting bug which this is game-wide even in other alliances and it is obviously broken. When I was checking my mail on Eve Gate, I looked over to my right column and saw that there was a bunch of calendar events. I naturally thought that someone had way too much time on their hands and decided to check it out. Turns out that it was all of the towers within the alliances that displays when they run out of fuel. I go up to the guy that's in charge of assigning roles and it turns out I have not been granted any whatsoever lately. I thought it was odd why I was seeing this information that is exclusively limited to Starbase Fuel Technicians. The reason why I noticed this and other people even with inferior brains like my fellow goons is because I used to work QA in the software sector. If it's not supposed to do that or is just odd for functioning that way, it must be a bug.

"But my calendar doesn't show this so you're a liar." Here's the trick, just leave up calendar up for more than 10 minutes and all the crap will probably start filling up the calendar. Here's a quicker way to check. Go check the eve gate and see if your calendar is showing this same information about all the towers that needs to be topped off with fuel.

Now you may ask "Why the f do I care?". The simple solution is that spies are a natural part of this game, right? Your alliance leaders work hard to keep information private especially when towers run out of fuel. These information are critical and the backbone of your alliance to keep it going. You're not going to be happy when your CSAA Tower pumping out a baby titan had 12 hours left of fuel and you were planning to do it within that time frame but the enemy finds out this information and blockades your tower to oblivion.

Now in the end, I've already sent petitions, bug reports, even had other people send petitions and they haven't been answered by CCP. So right now, I'm going to assume that either CCP intentionally broke the system and allowed anyone within an alliance to see this information or they just don't care. Well I'm hoping to inform all you pubbies, null-sec, low-secs, and high-secs alike about this bug and get the message out to CCP that they need to fix this bug immediately.

If you got nothing to contribute, please point out why you guys love the GoonSwarm Federation.
