before we all get into a mass nerdrage about having our shiny taken away and why we think we are entitled to xyz lets stop for a minute and think about what is important.

1: sisi is important because they havent finished balancing the changes yet, the numbers are up in the air, we have this one opportunity to influence the devs to actually make changes that don't nerf everything to oblivion and cause mass emoragequitting on the 2nd december.

2: testing is actually a serious business. for all the arsehattery and wanting to test how uber your fitting skills are, the real purpose of sisi is to test genuine game balance scenarios on the changes and expose any big bugs that will cause real problems on your important, fee paid subscription.

3: the sort of behaviour that went on at sisi was like 4 year olds at playgroup with no adults, it really was utterly pathetic, for all the noobz in titans were forgetting that sisi isnt what you pay your subscription for - its actually a test facility for CCP's QA team, you are there by invitation not by paid right. as pointed out most test servers are closed for inhouse QA teams and registered approved volunteers.

4: You can either asshat around on sisi ganking to hell and back, or you can try and do something constructive that helps you, and CCP develop a product that is better for everyone. simply raging because you cant have everything your own way is not going to achieve anything but getting public access to sisi closed permenantly to the detriment of the opportunity to provide useful player feedback pre-nerfbat.

with l5's for all this was bound to happen, people who have bothered spending time skilling for supercaps have a vested interest in testing changes that directly effect their gameplay and the value of their alliances 70bn ships, 3 month old noobz DD ganking on station test nothing other than the ability to be a asshat when there is no personal loss involved.

Its a shame this happened, a lot of good could have come out of this weekend, but as usual a bunch of idiots has ruined it for the majority, now istead of raging against CCP i suggest you understand there are actual proper volunteer BH and testers who do have real work to get on with pre-dominion and therefore if people en-mass are going to break rules and stop that happening then CCP has a right as stated in the rules to shut access.

its said that so many spoilt kids can't just grow up and act responsibly, and treat CCP and its employees with a bit more respect especially the ISD volunteers who do actually give up their game time to help improve Eve. Seriously guys, i would like to know whatever copyshop/dunkin/donuts/7-11 some of you work at and come and rage at you for your lack of service/whatever as much as you do on these forums and see how you enjoy it ffs.

I'm sad about it, a lot of sisi regulars are very UH about it, as suggested elsewhere if anyone wants to start a name and shame list of sisi asshats for tranq punishment, lets get it on.
