I don't get it. Once you posted this statement, why are people ignoring it? If you are sure it is a scammer, then the failed laywer's site has just lost a ton of credibility (not that it had much with discerning readers in the 1st place).
That could be even more interesting than this original scandal, if Entity is correct. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |

I am becoming more sanguine about this debacle with every passing hour.
Anyone who reads my posts knows that I am accused of tin-foil hattery on a regular basis when I comment about the probability of favouritism by the devs toward certain in-game groups. Most of my posts flag the potential of it, to keep it in the public eye. For that , I am constantly hammered with ridicule.
Well, stuff like this validates my points, which is nice.
But on the other hand, it now seems given that 300 billion ISK handouts seem to be an ongoing thing, are not that uncommon, and meant to be kept secret. It leads me to believe that the concept of a level playing field maintained with the structure of the game is something that not even upper management at CCP pays lip service to.
A sandbox, where everyone has equal opportunity, it clearly put to the lie with these actions. These are not valueless items, since they command in excess of 10 billion each on the open market. 10 billion ISK can alter many a small war, which makes the game rigged.
So for someone like me, trying to fight the good fight in a game supposedly NOT rigged, to say that CCP's actions are disheartening, is an understatement. But it is also liberating, to know that any attempt by any forum poster to suggest that anyone can rise to the upper echelons of the player pyramid is just a complete fabrication, and something I don't have to bristle with righteous anger over anymore.
When the goons and I are on the same side regarding dev favouritism and altering the balance of power in the game (even in a small way), there is something seriously wrong with Eve. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |
