Originally by: Arushia I'm more concerened aout the wrongful termination of the ISD correspondant and the allegation that BoB is able to reach CCP staff with a simple MSN message, bypassing the petition system used by honest players.
Quite right on this point.

Originally by: Xalorn Whatever happens, its not going to be swept under the rug. Its on ign.com & digg.com (main page) so far.
I must be blind because I don't see this story on either site.
It's on Digg.com; I've read it there myself. Not so sure about IGN; haven't seen it there.
http://www.digg.com/pc_games/EVE_Creators_CCP_Under_Fire_Again_for_Alleged_Corruption_Open_Letter_Made
Waiting to see if it gets put on /.
It's probably worth mentioning that the story is now on the front page of Digg.

Originally by: Ezra Maybe YOU should read the letter more carefully.
It is the job of ISD ICs to cover battles. To do that, they need to be at the battle. This is why ISD ICs have the teleport command available to them.
The fact that this teleport command (Remember, TELEPORT, not warp) places the ISD member right on top of the target ship is not the fault of the ISD member - It is the fault of whoever coded that tool.
An ISD member should in no way be punished for flaws in the tools given to them BY CCP. From reading the letter, Raekhan made every effort to avoid interfering with the battle, short of simply not covering it at all. (Such as immediately moving out to a range of 80+km from the blob after teleporting).
Why does the ISD teleport tool drop the ISD member right on top of the target? Why doesn't it have a range option just like warping? Why do ISD ships have a physical detectable presence in the game? Why is it even possible for a Polaris frigate to bump a normal ship? Why is an ISD member being held accountable for clear insufficiencies in tools provide by CCP?
Excellent post. Those questions really are just as important as the ones relating to the DS1 POS, and demand equal attention.

I notice that Arkanon's latest post on the matter fails to explain (or even mention) why CEO Pyrex's petition was deleted, or why CCP Sharkbait refused to talk to him.
I pay by PayPal, so at this rate I'll probably just let my subscription die. I'm not sure I can afford to play EVE at all, and I find even less incentive in doing so when it means giving my money to a company that so profoundly misunderstands the value of transparency, or for that matter, credibility.

1. Dev joining corp at war, without notice. a bit strange, no? I would love to see the original petition he was responding too, also an explantion of the deleted ones
The issue here is not that Sharkbait might have been screwing with DS1, but that, when asked for a simple clarification, CCP responded with a stonewall when none was necessary. When acting as if you're in the wrong is the norm, there is something fundamentally wrong with your approach to public relations.
