I recently received a reimbursement petition response that went something like this.

{Snip. Posting GM correspondence is not allowed. -- ISD LackOfFaith}

DO NOT bother us, submitting bug reports/petitions - We know our servers are overloaded and have problems. As long as you continue to pay us to play on them, we don't care.

CCP/kiss my ass

Just an experienced players observation. This is in no way a call to stop playing EVE. Just something for every player to keep in mind. This is the Nastiest game you can play anywhere in cyberspace. Your losses are permanent, you will never get them back.
Even if it being your 500,000,000 isk HAC or your 1.6 Billion Marauder. It is gone, get over it and play on.

Ten years and you still don't know the rules about sharing petition correspondence on the forums or, at the very least, the nature of the game?

I don't believe you.

After 10+ years I really think I may have something to say and the forum rules be damned
This is Eve as it REALLY is. Live with it or don't play it.

That is a lot of text from someone that does not care.

But you haven't been playing for ten+ years, you're lying. For all I know, you bought this toon off the bazaar. However, even if you had been playing for 10+ years, that doesn't grant you any special privilege. That kind of thinking leads to elitism, and hubris, and other not-very-virtuous qualities.

I'm playing EVE as it really is. I don't petition every ship loss that gets my willy in a knot.

HTFU. Ten years and you're still crying like a carebear? That's the real reason I don't believe you.

Just to place all of the cards in the table.

I came to the EVE beta tests after 4 years running servers for another game. Doing all of the programming for new functions, map building, running tournaments and dealing with players at all levels of the game . I kept the game alive(programming, physical hardware,internet connections) for close to three years at my own expense.

I finally gave it up and shut it all down. Only to be known as the 50 year old fat man from Minnesota pretending to be woman. (Total Slander)

EVE has been good to me since – always a challenge – adapt or die.

I was a bit discussed with the petition response , but then I remember all of the whining crap I had to put up with and I understand their point of view. CCP is light years ahead of any thing I ever worked on and they are doing one hell of a good job.

All I am asking is that they take a closer look at what is really happening on the servers and to their players before making a decision in response to a players petition.

I was a single person dealing with it, they have an entire group. Yes the stress is high, but please take a closer look.

OK, Now Flame on.

Except that what you posted in the OP was not the response you received. You just decided to put your own emotional inflection on it because you were mad, but I'll bet my bottom dollar that CCP did not state, "DO NOT bother us, submitting bug reports/petitions - We know our servers are overloaded and have problems. As long as you continue to pay us to play on them, we don't care." You interpreted it in your own way, but I'll bet you missed the point of why they can't rely on player-provided information, even though they explained it to you. Of course, you should understand this just fine if you'd been doing it yourself, but now I find it hard to believe that, either.

I also note that, in the OP, you made no point of any decision being made about your ship, just that they were telling you that they could not use player-submitted data.
