My god how does one person cause so much unrest? Do you really think this one person is going to have that much pull on CCP?

I admit I was a little miffed by it at first, but then my sanity kicked in. It's really not that big of a deal. We have giant idiots on the CSM, and they have far more influence on the game, but no one is up in arms about that.

Grow up.

Yes, if I was her I'd phone in sick claim bulling, depression, off the record I'd just tell the boss that I'm just here for the cash, keep the cash flowing & the pension building & I won't cause any grief or sue.

Just put it to them straight. I'm a $50k per year liability just write me off as that, don't speak to me, write me or call me unless it's about my pay or pension. If you don't do this then I will get a lawyer involved which could cost you millions & even sink CCP.

Is CCP nuking threads again? What is this T2BPO deja vu?

cut my sub into pieces
this is my last toon
biomassing
no mining
dont give a **** if i cant go ratting

I guess the TL;DR is that I'm not comfortable contributing to one of your employees salary.

1. A lot of this drama would have been avoided if CCP Mintchip would have been introduced as CCP CLEANSLATE in the DUST forums. No reference to her blog or youtube videos. Later, during a fanfest or some other event, her identity could have been exposed, but only after she had the opportunity to make a name for herself as a competent CCP employee. To come out from the beginning with so much baggage, puts her in a difficult postion.

The company continually totted how close it was with its community and how the players really did make the game, as we all try to give suggestions and identify bugs to help hold Eve high. We don't just come in and consume. A lot of people really try to make Eve a legitimate hobby and work to better the game and help the community (i.e. Chribba).

So when you hire a community rep that is not only unversed in the game, but dislikes it, actively, and very publically, it's expected people will be very angry. We may not have a say in who is hired, but we will speak out against it and, since CCP is 'so close' to we the community, would like an explanation as to why this person was hired given their history.

If someone turns out to be bad at their job and is let go, that's one thing, but no one should be fired because a handful of people are mad that someone they don't like got hired.

This is being used a lot in protection of this person. However, DUST is Eve, Eve is DUST. That was the point of DUST. It was meant to be a game that bridges the two into a single universe. They may be a DUST rep, but the person is still at CCP, making suggestions and planning actions that have a good chance of simply not resonating with the community if implemented by OUR reps. Also, DUST has a lot of Eve players, denying this is lol. Their attitudes don't change because they play a different game on top of Eve.

I'll admit right out the gate I'm pretty unfamiliar with said person's history, though I have heard things, but I'm pretty ok with the fact that someone dissatisfied with eve got hired. It gives them a more rounded idea pool. I don't agree that we're owed any explanation though. We get a fair bit of say game play wise, and that's great, but I think people are seriously overstepping themselves by saying they should also be included in the HR manager's job.

When there are riots across eve, people shooting statues or something similar, I'll concede the point, but until then you're not convincing me you're the 99%.

That's fair, I suppose I don't give dust a lot of credit. Are they at the point where they're actively making in impact in eve yet? I'm genuinely asking because I haven't noticed if they have, and I don't really keep tabs on it.

It's mildly scary that CCP Mintchip is actually one of the most critical devs in respect to CCP, they literally can't even touch her or face a massive law suit for unfair dismissal, alongside a huge amount of negative press CCP's EVE will get for being an institutionalised racist & sexist place.

Mintchip you go girl, take it easy get them feet in the air & let these good times roll. You've got them by their fing balls.

Massive wall of text

(1) So her view of Eve is not your view so what.
(2) No you are not owned anything.
(3) CCP hire and fire who they want, when they want and do not have to tell you squat.
(4) Who gave you the authority to dictate to CCP who they can and can not hire. You don't like it then the solution is very easy.. quit.
(5) Also please do not use the "I am a paying customer" line.
(6) You have no right to tell CCP who they can hire like you have no right to tell any other company that you use who they can hire.
(7) At the end of the day, the percentage of players against this hiring is minuscule. A handful of players on a forum that only a tiny percentage of subscribers use.

They didn't hire her as a random person / dev they hired her because she's Mintchip. Probably to try to attract players for DUST because of internet celebrity.

Yes because you were there...

The level of tinfoil has risen remarkably over the last 24 hours.

I also hear that she was the one who shot Kennedy, split up the Beatles and killed Kurt Cobain

They didn't hire her as a random person / dev they hired her because she's Mintchip. Probably to try to attract players for DUST because of internet celebrity.

1) She works for the company that manages Eve now.
2) Yes, we are. We're obviously so 'close' to the developers, like they preach so often. So, why not explain?
3) They do make the hiring decisions, and we make the well founded and reasoned criticisms.
4) We do not have that authority but we do have the ability to want answers, as CCP put the community on a pedestal for holding up Eve and making it what it is. No, I will not quit.
5) We are paying customers who put hours into Eve and attempt to make it better, not just consume.
6) See Answer 3. You are being repetative.
7) Look up the term latent, as I said in the previous post, and get back to me.

What did we learn here today? That reading comprehension and basic critical thinking skills are key in answering your own questions. Text walls are there for a reason, Mr. Alt.

What's I'm saying is pretty obvious. It's not on the level of Kennedy assassination at least.

Do you think that as a person she was the most qualified for the job? Out of everyone they could have hired? Really? I mean honestly? Really?

I have no idea if she was the most qualified for the job because I have no idea what her qualifications are and what the post required and was not involved in her interview.

That is the point.. nobody here has the slightest idea.
It's not even saying anything bad that they hired her for name recognition, it's just obvious.

You seem to share CCP's attitude towards customers Prince
