I don't think CCP has a full appreciation of how dangerous a situation like this is to their game.
It is so ungodly frustrating to fight an entity in game that has developer support, its like your fighting the game itself. How long will we tolerate this ****??
Is it time for another open letter to CCP? no, its already gone past that point.
Frankly I find this **** too hard to stomach:
- spawning BPOS
- Handing out motherships
- Changing the titan memorial rules when molles titan died
- refunding titans after saying they never would
2 Titans in game died to "broken mechanics" 1 AZN and 1 D2 both pilots petitioned the loss but no exception was given. A good policy. The game has rules, they can change, but until then we live, fly, and die by them.
People care that its BOB you did it for, because you have a LONG history of doing them special favors, but it really doesnÆt matter that its BOB, most people recognize that. It matters that YOU broke the rules and gave someone special treatment. WhatÆs even more insulting is that you changed their name to Band of Brothers Reloaded, as though, by not giving them their original name back somehow it would be ok. How stupid do you think we are? What a disgusting insult.
This action is shameful beyond words CCP. Your failure to act last time and your continued, blatant cheating is a slap in the face to every person who plays the game.
To be fair I do remember at least one titan being reimbursed in the drone region.
The titan memorial was only for the first titan no?
I'm not sure what you are referring to with the handing out of mother ships, I remember there was a scandal where their mother ships were petitioned to be put into station which they then used to rig them.
TBQH I don't think its a big deal at all the only people that really care are NC+pets and goonswarm+pets.
I also don't know why there is so much whining. If you were the best alliance and had the vet pool bob does I bet you could get "special treatment" too. Unfortunately bob was/is the undisputed king of eve and still to a degree is. (How many other alliances could go through what they have and not disintegrated, and as soon as NC leaves you know it's pretty much over in delve for GS.)
You got to remember bob has played a big role in building this game, and to add:
Bob scandals gets press on Slashdot blogs and game news sites and it is quite large free advertisement. I've come back twice now after reading bob scandals and thinking ill see whats happening in eve lately. You can see it in the server numbers too. Big scandals = more money. Lets see a pandemic legion scandal bring ccp new players (lol).
Regardless I can't be the only one that thinks its all pretty silly. It's not like they are gaining any special advantage over you in game for this one and tbqh it makes you all look like a bunch of crybabies.
Note: if they got 'band of brothers' back I would agree that it was a righteously horrible decision by ccp, but goon gets to keep haargoths trophy of epic betrayal so who cares?
