So how would prohibiting CCP Employees from playing stop any alleged goon favoritism? Asking CCP to fire anyone who ever played EVE would make more sense, v0v.

Anyway I dont think the game would become any better if CCP Empoyees would stop playing the game, do you?. If anything , CCP duders: start playing the game more!

I thought all CCP employees had their prior game accounts frozen ?

so your saying another T20 incident can happen or has happened again?

It's just another standard: I got scammed by goons and now I'm mad because I play a game that allows for this and is really a big selling point but I think that I'm a special snowflake and should be sheltered and protected this post.

It doesn't take an inside scoop to know which direction things are going. People pull SiSi dumps all the time to get things most other MMO's don't release until launch. The idea that CCP Soundwave would give up such a good job. One I am sure he loves not only because it is awesome in general but because he played eve before hand. Well it is down right ridiculous he would risk it. Would you give up 50,000 - 80,000 dollars a year to help out goons? Like any company CCP has quality controls and internal affairs. Stop giving Goons undeserved attention and feeding their forum trolls.

P.S. Will you guys take note and make a tinfoil hat smiley face.

Worked at a bar/pub for 4 years. Employees were not permitted to patronize even on their day off. So we always went next door and made an ass of ourselves. Now I understand why we had that rule.

Great, we finally get some Devs that actually play EVE that are not hopeless Carebears (the majority of them still are, check their admissions in other threads devoted to "Do the Dev's Play EVE") and this knucklehead wants to make it impossible.

You fail to understand that we WANT a game where organizations like the Goons can exist along side organizations like EVE University, using the same tool set and universe but pursuing their own vastly different goals. To achieve that goal we want developers that are well versed in as many facets of the game as possible... from the loner, to the industrialist, to the pirate, and everything in between.

We do not want the universe to be fair, comfy, and safe.

We do not want devs that only understand fair, comfy, and safe.

We wants devs that understand all aspects of EVE well enough to promote a universe that is harsh, challenging, stark, and relatively unforgiving... but above all fun for those able to survive. To do that they need to get their feet wet and play all ends of the spectrum.

If you have evidence of favoritism, submit it to Internal Affairs to be investigated.

If you have no evidence you are simply trolling, and not really worthy of attention.

You and your well-reasoned posting...

But at the end of the day we just want to pod a dev.

FYI, using "not drinking at your place of work" as an analogy when discussing CCP isn't going to get you very far.

rantings

Absolutely.

Dev corpses = best corpses.

I think someone didn't pass the goonwaffe recruitment requirements. Or was a spy...

Scamming is one of the methods for extracting your tears that greases the engine of the GoonSwarm Federation.

To be in Something Awful you have to have a referral from a member in good standing.

that's wrong

We need an internal affairs investigation into Dev Goons, some heads must roll.

Take this:

With this:

Goons don't recruit from the player base. You have to be a member of their "other" group - Something Awful, to be considered for Goon membership. To be in Something Awful you have to have a referral from a member in good standing.

IF ANY GOON INVITES YOU TO JOIN IT'S A SCAM. (Aside from the aforementioned channel.)

I think CCP technicians whose specific duties require them to be ingame should have their activities restricted so as not to be in a competitive position with their customers. They, of course (and they've shown themselves as being intellectually challenged) think they can be just like their customers and there's no conflict of interests, appearance of impropriety and other such minefields sane and rational corporations attempt to keep well in hand - even if they have to lie about it.

To associate themselves with some of the yahoos EVE fosters won't bode well should anything else arise that is a blatant violation of the laws of several countries (and states - including The Great State of Georgia) in the eyes of their Sony buddies with the Playstation nexus and the Dustbin - all a debacle waiting to happen. I follow with great interest and amusement.
