Can we get a comment from ccp on this please???


The lack of comments is quite clear. You are free to kill CCP employees at will, and will be rewarded for it.

Let the hunting begin!



You most categorically not free to do that

So your saying their friends can pop them, and get bonus plex.

If we pop them, we get banned?

Because that is the only alternative here. Everyone is free to pop them while they are working, AND GET REWARDED FOR IT.

Or only their friends are.

Wow the alt rage over CCP tossing a player a bone is rather sad.

The person was popped fair and square and our guys got a legit drop in game, verified.. Tibbs and Co did not rage when CCP contacted them about it and said they needed to remove the Enigma. Instead of crying Bull**** and screaming T20, they accepted it for what it was and were given a small token.

Had they been asshats about it is fair to say they would have gotten the finger and not much else. 2 PLEX is not something like a T2 BPO, but I guess there will always be rage because sometimes good things happen to someone else instead of "me" all the time.

He shouldn't have been there in the first place
WTF a game dev flying around on a GM toon and dropping GM stuff as a loot instead of doing his job?
if he wants to play the game he should buy a subscription from CCPLol

As quoted on the Noir forums by Laevateinn.

In reference to this image.

In the grand scheme of things, you're likely never to see this again.

A Cockroach, a Titan, a Chimea costing more than 2 Nyx supercarriers, and Garmon losing a buffer shield, gank fit Andrestia to Brick Squad.

I still don't see what the big deal is about them keeping the ship...

Yeah its awesome and has great stats, but it requires the skill "Jove Frigate" to fly.... So why the fuss?

If they ship is on TQ, and was dropped from a ship in a wreck. Finders keepers!!!
CCP should give it back to them and allow them to sell it to whoever. They can't use it right? Nobody can.
CCP messed up and shouldn't handle it this way.

Let them keep it...


Ok, I have a story for you:
Somewhere, deep in the abysses of the internet, lies an old official faq, now unreachable because of the new website, where CCP say that Jove will become a playable race. No man could find a copy of this faq today, but if you lie on the burned ground of the old EVE-O and listen closely, you can heard the voice of the old, whispering story of madness, old memes and sometimes, they whisper what you are actually looking for.
I won't bet my left arm that they will actually do this someday, but they are :fearless:, maybe they try to keep the jovian door open.
The Enigma don't have a really impossible-to-get skill (as polaris frig, who have itself as a prerequisite), it is just Jove frig which can be seed when/if Jove are made playable.

My guess is they just don't want to let the Enigma in player hand because it's way too OP and could be playable if the jovian were relased. I think that if the loot had been a Specter (Jove rookie ship) or a Wraith (Jove T1 frig), CCP wouldn't have take them back.

Nah it's about precedent. I don't care what they get... but I do care about the rules and the "sandbox". Since CCP took away that ship and gave them little in return, going forward it just says "CCP can intervene and take your stuff if you do something cool that they didn't anticipate." Now obviously this is rare... so rare in fact this is the first time I've ever heard of CCP intervening in this way. ...but it just seems kind of lame from a sandbox perspective. Specifically, it tempers the "universe without bounds" premise of what they are selling. I just don't like the way that was handled. ...but to be fair it could have been worse. At least they got the verified kill. From where I stand there isn't any rage... just a s*** aftertaste in my mouth. That loot was worth over 100 bil.
