CCP developers do play Eve, and are present in all walks of life in the game.
Of course, they have to remain strictly anonymous, and are not allowed to leak or use any insider knowledge. I'm not aware of the full extent of the restrictions placed upon them. Still, keeping the game fair is a serious concern, and it is why the Internal Affairs department exists.

I was not trying to imply anything. I simply do not have an answer to that. Sorry.

Quite a few of us play regularly. As noted above there are some aspects of gameplay that we do not engage in as part of a general policy (suicide ganking is one), we always do our best to understand every aspect of EVE.
Liang is correct that playing a lot of EVE can wear CCPers out sometimes, between the need for secrecy, looking at the same game in leisure as in work, and people bashing our effort. However the last part isn't generally that bad, people tend to be pretty reasonable when they don't think they have anyone to troll, and I know I've indulged in some tongue-in-cheek "What kind of idiots make this game" banter when I run into bugs we haven't fixed yet. 
But just like all forms of EVE burnout, the best cure is a short break to play some other games until the EVE itch returns.

Why is suicide ganking forbidden? Maybe if CCP employees actually explored it instead of listening to the wail of wretches who would otherwise be wailing about how they need to be at their keyboard twice in one hour for their mackinaw, CCP would be less likely to make unwarranted nerfs to suicide ganking.
As a player, I was suicide ganking before it was cool. :hipster:
But as CCP employees we choose to stay towards the light side. It makes a refreshing change of pace for quite a few of us.

In a game the size of EVE we can never expect to have employees playing all aspects at all times, so we rely on our knowledge and experience of game design in general, the foundational principles of EVE's design in particular, and collecting feedback from players who have such direct gameplay knowledge.
This method applies to many aspects of the game, if we couldn't pull it off with suicide ganking we'd have more serious problems.

"General policy" implies that it's not a choice though, that it's something you're obliged to follow whether you want to or not.
Yes we have certain guidelines to follow. What I'm saying is that we build our processes to be able to cover designing for every aspect of EVE, even if it's areas we don't experience directly on an everyday basis.

We spam Polaris local with our amazing isk doubling offers all the time, sadly I've only caught CCP Foxfour so far.

I'd like you all to know I'm quitting eve, and giving away all my isk for 1 trit.
You will have to get it to Polaris though. Better be quick before someone else snaps up this amazing offer. |

Also, I've removed some posts in which people were actually proclaiming to be CCP alts. Even if you're joking, it's not allowed.
