This is really unfortunate considering that major battles seem to have the most mistakes on CCPs side. This is quickly turning into another Uemon!
Instead of always cleaning up PR messes perhaps you should be more proactive on the successes you have. When this happens to one of the biggest and now most publicized fights in EVE history it just bring a ton of bad press and allegations that CCP is "in" with TEST. Instead you need to start publicly addressing the successes as well. In my memory, you've made one such attempt when TiDi was released and since been silenced.
I would instead bring forward the successes and comparisons to the rest of the game industry. Not as justifications for a very sloppy key press, but to show the players the amount of things that go RIGHT instead of waiting for another disaster.
P.S. As for the sloppy key press... I still don't understand why you wouldn't have some sort of confirmation message and actually reviewing it. You can ill afford to mess with 2000+ active pilots and more thousands watching the live streams. Pretend like your game depending on it, because I am sure to some... it does. |

So you would enjoy playing a game where you knew employees were fearing over making even the smallest mistakes?
Do you enjoy firing people and throwing them out into the job market? Do you relish the thought of their families having hardship because you didn't get that carrier mail?
I have another idea how about you biomass your EVE online characters and leave this game? Honestly would you please do that?
1. On the flip coin, I would hope that people wouldn't work like they are irreplaceable either. People do get fired for doing major aspects of their job incorrectly, it could be as simple as mis-wiring a house or as far out as a doctor making a mistake, in any case people are held accountable for their actions, intentional or not. However, since no one knows the performance of the individual in a grand view of things, it is unwise for anyone to tell a company how to treat their employees.
2. Job markets are irrelevant when it comes to a company. You can't get personal, it is business. Sometimes employers keep employees for far to long, even if they are terrible, only because they feel bad for them. It is a mistake. To be successful unfortunately means you can't take things personally and you have to do what must be done. Your scenario of companies putting people out on the street are far from laudable considering that the employee usually has to do something wrong and is held accountable. Funny how employees are the ones that can get themselves fire, not some "evil" corporation. If someone can't do the general job, then you find someone who can for not only you, but your customers.
Seriously though, biomass your character? I am not really sure how that would accomplish anything. They have to "gasp" make another character? Or we could keep posting under assumed characters / identities so we can hide who we really are... cause no one does that!
Last point, what is your objective in all of this? You are pretty confusing constantly defending CCP, but telling their playerbase to biomass. If your looking to be alone with CCP, this is not the way I would do it.
