EVE General Discussion

SOMEONE CHANGED MY PASSIVE INCOME I WANT THE COMPANY IN ASHES. VENGEANCE MUST BE MINE.

Presumably is the problem ;)

But you will never stop people from cheating no matter what, so it's a bit useless to discuss...
If you feel that badly about it, just quit playing the game and if enough people feel the same, then CCP will be proven wrong.
Otherwise; let's make this a nice *trolololol* post xD

Still think that unless we see massive unsubs nothing will change.
See what they do not what they say seems in full effect unless you can point to where we've only said something and theyve scrapped it, unlike ppl leaving and we get a apology from Hilmar and a radical change in direction and refocusing on FiS instead of WiS?

What exactly do you want to change though?

"No more changes to anything that I personally don't like - the political platform for Sigurd Sig Hansen, by Sigurd Sig Hansen."

Im using the excuse CCP GAVE US

That "icelandic law" thing? Yeah I didnt pull that from my ass.



Youre missing the point... what risk?
And it WAS worth the risk before lol

Yes, that CCP Arkanon character is pretty hard to spot. I would never have suspected he worked at CCP.

Im not insane, everyone else is!

Which is funny when my grandmother states she's the only sane one in her house

I don't think you understood my post. The excuse of Icelandic law COULD very well be valid. Since it seems it falls heavily on contracts and unions. That doesn't mean that the agreements and contracts they have NOW is the same as they where when T20 happened. So while HE might have gotten away with it THEN, they probably can't get away with it NOW due to contract/agreement changes because of what happened..

How long ago was T20? Almost 5 years? That's a long time in law.

You're assuming an active desire to "sabotage" the hiring process. It is actually much, much simpler than that. Any person in this game who has actively participated in the more involved forms of the spy game would have already done all of the things I mentioned and many other things simply to evade the more intricate forms of alliance counterintelligence. Many people would have no issue with not mentioning one of their characters if they thought for a minute they could get away with it. There needn't be any desire to "hurt" CCP at the root of their motivations. They aren't likely to see themselves as hurting CCP, only helping their friends with "harmless" information. Since we know for a fact something like this has happened before, it isn't unreasonable to posit that it will happen again.

The laws in the U.S. are such that employers who don't want to get sued into oblivion will make no comment to other employers that call for references other than to say whether or not they would rehire the person. I would guess that CCP, which has a U.S. subsidiary and can be sued in the U.S., takes a similar path. It is unlikely that anything other than firing would occur. I don't know who the people were in the T20 scandal, but I'm willing to bet they aren't living on the street. I'm not familiar with Icelandic laws, perhaps they differ. Perhaps that's as good a reason as any to consolidate the development team in Iceland.

None of this is to say that something untoward is definitely occuring, but it is clearly a concern or there wouldn't be an Internal Affairs group. The effect such a person has on the game is powerful. In most games, their damage would be limited to giving out goodies or money or maybe play time. EVE is built on player interaction in a player built world. The damage they do effects everyone who plays, either directly or indirectly. It is entirely appropriate that the player base question the system. The OP was short on anything substantive and I don't put much faith in it, but the responses from teh CCP side are a bit snarky and dismissive. You might consider muzzling staff responses on such delicate issues and issuing bland, stock statements.
