Well, I don't think anyone could say it was not a clusterfreck.

There is obviously new lore being written here, but the execution and planning of this event overshadowed it.

I look forward to how that develops, but just leading fleets to what can only be an inevitable slaughter is not smart or clever.

Titan bridges to the destination, where a great battle takes place, concorde and the navies abandoning the capsuleers to their doom, would have told the story, and made it clear the navies hold the eggers in contempt.


CCP leading hisec into a nullsec trap said that THEY hold their subscribers in contempt..PROBABLY not what they wanted to say.

I am not asking for anyones head, but for gods sake hold a post failure analysis meeting and make sure this NEVER happens again.

To be fair to you guys, this was chronically bad planning on their part. Sure, odds were high we had spies, but the fleet leader telling you which planet to warp to, in local, doomed you. We weren't at the planet at the time, but our scout in your system relayed the instruction you guys had been given, and we had plenty of time to set up the welcoming committee.

It wasn't a screw up. You REALLY think they gave these guys a 30-40 min head start on gate camps on accident? We just know that they have alts in the alliances over there.


We didn't need a head start. Razor have been staged in Doril (the system so many of you died) for three months, and we have been staged in G-O (one Titan bridge away - and since we are best-buds with Razor, we have cynos ready to activate in Doril as standard) for just as long. You were lead too us. Even with a 5 minute warning (that you arriving in Ihal would have gave) would have been enough for pings to go out and fleets to flash-form.

And since gates only pour in 50 players at a time, you had more than 5 times the alpha we did, assuming we all came from the same fleet.

Thankfully I went around. Only to find out the actors were already bored and destroyed the mission objective before any of the highsec people made it due to TiDi.

Oh well, at least it was only European players.

That just reinforces my statement that this was CCP feeding Razor kills. We already know they want highsec to go away but making the highsec people ragequit the game is not a smart move.
