Anyone with even a 1/4 of a brain can see this is fake and not real. Look at all the grammatical and spelling errors.
The PDF has copy disabled. You have to manually type the text if you want to quote it.
I wonder if you can OCR a PDF document...
It takes all of 5 minutes to unlock a PDF, alter it and re-lock. Just FYI

Isn't it fun? It's the same path that led my former employer's corporation to default and close.
The economist (akin to John Turbefield in the PDF) kept warning about the dangerous path and about the risks.
The marketeer (in this case it's worse as Kristoffer Touborg is Lead Game Designer => more powerful) laughed in his face.
Result: when marketeers trump economists things go downhill fast.

Everyone who stated they are going to quit and burn PLEXes or want to donate them in a next Emergency Relief campaign please notice how there's this Charity of mine that has even been showcased on Fanfest 2011.
You may donate any amount of PLEX or ISK to Chribba or to the linked thread corp and they will be held until the next CCP PLEX for <Subject> emergency campaign happens.
If you send to Chribba you MUST indicate the clause: "VAERT DONATION" and please also forward an eve-mail to me so I can include the donation in the accounting ledgers. If you send to the thread linked corp it'll all be done in automatic and your name shown in the Hall Of Fame.
I will keep one subscription up just to hold the stuff till CCP starts the next campaign.
Youtube proof of donation video.
Thanks in advance to those who will do the only positive thing possible out of this fugly CCP mess.

What utter nonsense. You honestly didn't expect game developers to be looking at options like this? Every single MMO developer is having exactly the same conversations that CCP are. And some of them are changing already - look at what happened with LOTRO's F2P.
CCP always prided themselves for being DIFFERENT. This is why we support them.
Going "exactly like" is going to remove the DIFFERENT.
Like Apple caved in and switched into some worst China made, stock UI and cheapest components around. It'd be their undoing.

Is Chribba going to keep playing after they screwed him so bad?
Well, he's a very nice guy, he'd certainly figure out a solution with me.
Furthermore, Grendell is also certified to accept donations of PLEXes and ISK on my behalf.
If you are totally desperate you can just send stuff to my listed VAERT charity corp. I demonstrated I reliably kept 91B on behalf of donors, therefore as long as you don't surpass such amount you'd feel safe.

The document contains in essence two extremely opposing views talking about MT, pulling qoutes of out the blue always looks bad.
It is quite possible the document is legit, and is an attempt to create inhouse debate over MT and try to get new ideas coming in.
Intro:
Vanity MT = monocles and other harmless stuff.
Power MT = game outcome changing items like super ships, faction boosters, super ammo etc.
Imho since mods are not locking this thread there are two possible scenarios:
1) There is a CCP internal struggle raging. The CCP "anti-power-MT" faction slipped this document so that we could help them against the otherwise unstoppable power of the very lead game designer.
In this case we should support the guys like that the economist, who are pro-vanity but against power-aurum items.
2) Inside CCP there are equal pro and against factions and they let out this document to see our reaction. What we do and say here will be used at the next guidelines, corporate currents will become more powerful, others will go under.
In any case, this document slipped just too well timed, it's not a coincidence.
They even say they are watching.

In any case this framing of the problem eliminates the "No MT" option 
In the doc there's no one arguing against MT completely, no "against" internal current that we are let to see.
In line of principle I am not against MT either, if people want to waste money on a monocle why not. It's less pressure at converting PLEXes into staying ISK that pollutes the economy from inside. It's a PLEX sink, it's good.
Therefore as wannabe economist myself I support the pamphlet economist in a moderate support for purely vanity items.

I am past caring about it.
We noticed the distinct, careless lack of posting, lately.

That Trinity trailer sure brought back memories.
Incarna didn't even have a trailer :(
What about this?
These are the things that made me join EvE.
That intangible feeling of being one in a million, yet fundamental.

From the leaked doc:
We are FEARLESS
If you are fearless why do you write you have to keep it hidden? Fearful people cower up.
