This is the first time I am using the forums and this being my first post, I regret it being one filled with complaint.
Now I will start off with the part which cannot and I emphasize cannot be blamed on bad planning or lack of organization as such an excuse would be an even bigger farce than the mini-event. Yes, ladies and gents, the shuttle race. I will get to the location of choise in a moment aswell.
**Start of Rant**
Shuttle Race Thievery
For the love of the merciless EVE god, do not call it a race if 95% of your racing field are alphas, whom you pit up against an Omega with snakes, skills and pills - which they never in a million years will stand a chance at beating. You may aswell just have given the CCP prize to the cherry-picked golden goose (thief), as the snug **** had his arms wide open from the get go. Why dangle talk of marvelous prizes in front of people, that they are unable to fairly win? Not even High-Sec podding **** are this cruel. I'd go as far as to say there should NOT be a prize given to the 'winner' and that this prize should be added to the pool for next years race, which in turn should be held fairly; seperate races for Alphas, Omegas (maxed Nav. skills) and an all-out implants/pills group. Why you may ask? So that people can RACE, you know maneuvering around the respective checkpoints based on Piloteering skills, and not automatically be gifted a massive prize for spending bank on luxury items - which is essentially what happened here. Said person was given free loot in an official race and for lack of better words - for cheating.

Amarr Space? This one is so mindboggling I am unsure whether to laugh it off or complaint. Perhaps I'll let my fellow Pilots take care of this one.
**End of Rant**
Thanks to all the generous Pilots and CCP for making this happen, and my respect to Santa and Santa's helpers for stepping up to the task and spending their valuable time spreading gifts and christmas cheer - and for the successful events aswell
Thank to all the pilots who showed up, whether it was for the shinies or for the companionship and atmosphere. Last, but not least: thanks to me, Xantiema, for taking the time to write this spectacular post. |
