What is the TL;DR?

RvB beats up Eve Uni. Eve Uni cries foul -- claims RvB has no honour. Eve Uni takes ball and stomps off home.

if all of this is true, its kind of sad.

GǪand is then accused of using 'sploits.

Err. A decshield isn't an exploit. The Uni has been using a 2 corporation decshield for the last year. Just seems dumb to use that decshield during a month when you want war declarations (granted they weren't using it during the first week, but it seems to be back in use.)

If my understanding of what a "decshield" actually is ... it means they have alt corps thats sole reason is to dec them to raise the price of war decs against them.

It is, actually, an exploit if you wardec your own corp for a sole purpose of increasing wardec costs vs your corp.

It used to be an exploit. Then, about 12 months ago, CCP changed their policy (via discussions with Kelduum) to allow up to two alt corps to maintain a decshield.

Wow. That's about the most insanely retarded things I've heard.

So how do you go about telling CCP GMs to reverse their idiocy on a policy level these days?

A few of things:

- The "DecShield thing" was never declared an exploit - there were other factors involved in the earlier ones which have have been, which I wont go into. In fact, GMs on many cases have stated that you can declare war for any reason, and there is no need to fight. Right now, we have a bunch of wars (7 or 8 off the top of my head) and we're

- I'm, not aware of CCP changing their policy for anything, and they certainly haven't spoken to me about any policy changes - the difference recently (which is actually less than 6 months, not a year) is that I laid out a way where everything is paid for, and asked them to confirm that its ok.

- Poetic is a massive troll and attention ***** who's only goal now seems to be to try and make things up and mis-quote people simply to drive traffic to his failed blog - this is quite amusing as a recent EN24 story which fell for some trolling was attacked by him for accepting made up information and mis-quotes as truth. My guess is he misses the attention, and is getting close to being a stalker, just check his previous posts and you should be able to see why he was removed.

As CCP has posted a few times in his threads, if you need to question CCP policies or actions, just file a petition.

So... are you saying...

I would have thought 1400 newbies hauling and running missions solo would be a nice target for them.

I've tried very hard to deduce from this well-written article that something is terribly wrong. What I saw was a bitter, "They didn't fight the way we wanted or expected" post.

In fact, I saw this whole post as nothing more than a personal blog post crying for some clicks. Do we REALLY need to bring these bitter and personal rants into this public forum?

For #2, Using alt corps to increase the cost of wars against your corporation or alliance is prohibited.

- I'm, not aware of CCP changing their policy for anything

BS.GǪthat is pretty much as declarative as it gets.If it is suddenly no longer prohibited to use alt corps to increase the cost of wars against your corporation, then they have changed their policy.

Oh, and actual tl;dr while I'm here:

E-UNI decs RvB and ADOPT, some people dec E-UNI. Much fun is had, with many many explosions and something like 30 billion ISK in total kills so far.

RvB, ADOPT and some others decide to bash the Uni POS to provoke a massive fight, but take ages to get organised, suggesting it has been cancelled, and E-UNI then takes the fleet and everyone they can get to go help Chribba instead.

POS gets bashed, not knowing what the intentions are, and unable to contact anyone, E-UNI retracts wars. POS is repaired back to 100% in 38 min, and >200 members get live class on POS mechanics.

After finding out what was going on, E-UNI still <3 RvB and ADOPT, despite them not letting us know what the intention was and taking ages to form their fleet, and will arrange more pew-pew with them later on.
