Originally by: Nadia Shah If you remember back to the Haiti earthquake CCP decided to run a PLEX for Haiti campaign, First time CCP ever decided to show a "humanitarian" face, Yet before that never decided to PLEX for Tsunami, Pakistan Earthquake, Hurricane Katrina, Or any other natural disaster.
Now we have an even bigger natural disaster affecting 14 million people and CCP has done nothing, So my question here is, Why does CCP choose to raise funds for certain disasters but not others? What is the criteria for which CCP must do something to help? Is it that CCP only helps certain Nations? Races? Religions?
Some clarification on this issue would ease some of the restlessness within the game.
Cant be arsed to read every page. But I seem to recall that I have donated through CCP for the tsunami/earthquake disaster.
So in response to the original poster. Move allong nothing to see here. . Seriously Have I Not Said How I Can Assist Some One You Are Killing Online? |

Okay so, wait, the USA exports food, we just stop OUR exports, and eat what we make... so ya I do not need to care still.
You do know that US wheat is subsidised by the government and then sent to the IMF, WorldBank or WFP. From there it is sent to 3rd world stocks where it sits in warehouses until rotten, so that it counts on the right side of the balance sheet.
The whole US wheat production industry is a complete scam.

You have the power to initiate it yourself and to have a direct influence on the game's universe and your humanitarian ambition.
It's very simple really: Dock in Jita 4-4, buy 74 plexes (maybe round it up to 100), undock and wait.
See? It's not that hard and I am sure that CCP will support your effort.
Thank you.

HAHAHA, OMG, really? restlennsess withing the game?
What a Company or Individual gives to charity is a personal choice and none of your business. If you are so concerned, why dont you make a donation.
I know a way you could free up an extra 15euros a month that you could send to charity.

The word hypocrisy is applicable to many charitable actions but not in the way the OP intended. Giving to one charity but not another is a choice that we all have to make, you can not give to every good cause.
What is hypocritical however is a computer company organizing plex aid for Haiti while ignoring the Congo. The DRC is a huge source of coltan which is used to make microchips, by keeping the DRC in a permanent state of warfare we depress the price of microchips and companies like CCP get to profit from the fact that computers are cheap.
The 1,500 people who've died in Pakistan are a small drop in the ocean of blood that pours out from Nigeria, Afghanistan, DRC, Sudan and other mineral rich countries. Bringing peace to these countries and allowing them control over their natural resources would lead directly to a rise in the cost of consumable goods.
The voting population of any democratic country will get rid of a government who decrease the standard of living by letting the cost of computers and consumables rise, as such it is hypocritical for anyone who lives in a democracy to give money to charity because the worst humanitarian disasters are voted for and condoned by the populations of these countries.
It seems to me that the least hypocritical thing CCP could do is donate plex money to projects associated with colonizing the moon or otherwise safeguarding the human race by getting the fek off this volatile ball of molten iron we call earth. _______

Why the hell should people think that CCP have to help with every disaster that happens in the world CCP is a Computer game company not a Humanitarian Relief organisation. World Disasters are not gonna stop they will keep on happening in the future its the sad truth but you cant expect CCP to commit resources every time somthing happens its not there bag leave that to the Countrys own Goverment,UN,Charity's Etc....

Some people chose to give to a charity whom they feel is in need. Those people tend not to then give to every other charity going regardless of how big or small.
Every year there are thousands of natural disasters and crises around the world - CCP could not reasonably donate to all of them.

THIS!
It gives [selvsencored] like the OP a platform, or to use the words of CCP poster, this is why we can't have nice stuff.
Prove yourself weak enough to give to one beggar/gypsy/whatever and soon there is a spineless immoral swarm in your face and ppl like the op getting up your nose with demands & trying to push guilttrips.

Dear OP
As you can see from the above replies, this is NOT the place to look for sympathy for Floods victims.
Perusing the above posts, you can deduce that a very significant number of Eve players are simply self-centred and are too busy playing video games and letting life pass them by, to care about millions dying, as long as they're not one of the millions LOLOLOL
So please OP , don't look for pity here , have a nice day

Haiti is a veeeeeeeery poor country. Pakistan has nukes. Now you tell me, if a country has money for nukes, it has money to help its own people.

The nuke is something like 60-70 years old. Could probably buy one from Russia for a couple months pay at this point.
Would be some good times getting that through customs.

BTW, incase this hasn't been pointed out, a hypocrite is a person who pretends to have beliefs they don't have. CCP never said they cared about the Pakistani situation, so its not hypocritical to fail to set up a plex drive.

It doesn't work that way. Nukes have to be continually tested, maintenance and upgraded. You don't just store a nuke and forget it.

There is no restlessness in the game over this issue, noone cares, stop pretending to speak for anyone but yourself.
If you dont care then why are you trolling? Also looks like your the one speaking for everyone when you say "noone cares", what you meant to say is you dont care which is fine by me but why you posting here.
Take a look at the entire world. NO ONE CARES. That is why the UN started begging (whining) for countries to start donating. The fact that CCP doesn't do something has nothing to do with Hypocrasy. Then can choose to support what they want.
And the fact is there is NO restlessness within the game, your post is the first one I've seen.
All the survivors will end up doing is piling into a boat and floating to some other country to beg for hand outs. And as one other poster said this is the las place to look for sympathy. People are here for fun...

Edited by: Zia Aiz on 13/08/2010 14:52:18 I highly encourage any company that wants to donate some money to a good cause. But lets face it, the word is full of people that need money, CCP isn't a charity case.
CCP has put in effort in the Haiti thing and we can't keep expecting CCP to donate to everything that happens in the world.
To respond to the plex changes:
While CCP idea of making people able to move plex around obviously makes CCP more money, it's not like they force you to risk undocking with plexes or force you to convert real money into plex in the first place.
Like everything in this game, it's a risk vs reward, CCP has been making money off people doing dumb things in the game ever since they made you able to convert real money into isk.
It's not like CCP has 10 mill active accounts, i do think CCP needs it money to be able to do what the players ask them to do (see CSM).
I say CCP keeps it's money to employ more people so the game gets improved faster & it's good for the economy as well (wich is also a disaster for some countries).
