Under normal circumstances I would expect to to be trolled with a post like this with the ubiquitous "U-Mad?" posts but tbh I am.
WTF Were CCP playing at, seriously?
The issues,
Communication, non existent
Purpose, Not explained
10% Tidi for multiple jumps, I mean seriously if you are setting out to run a player event then look at your resources, this was a complete shambles and quite frankly I believe CCP should be bloody embarrassed with themselves.
If the intention was to alienate your player base then it was achieved with bells on!
Waste of time, really, a total complete waste of time.
Did anyone participating in the event actually get anything out of it (I do not count the nul sec alliances who enjoyed a turkey shoot as they may have participated but only in as much as doing what they do best every day which is blap people in Nul)?
There is a massive trust relationship between CCP and its hi-sec player base which has just been destroyed in what seems to be an enormous trolling exercise, I am struggling to convey quite how negligent CCP have been in this matter.
I would encourage any player who lost a ship to petition CCP for negligent behavior, I believe that as the operators of the game they will hold a "Duty of Care" (Remember that statement sports fans) to not affect a players experience by either their actions or omissions. I believe all participants should be provided with a full refund of any items/ships/pods/implants lost in what could only be described as a CCP lead massacre. I believe every player should also be compensated in some way for the monumental inconvenience this pointless farce caused. And if CCP try claiming no liability, lets all check for an online definition of "Vicarious Liability" on account of this event having been publicized on the EVE website, the log in screen and EVE facebook.
Secondly I would encourage all capsuleers to contact the CSM and get them on to this too because this level of failure is unacceptable.
The overriding aspect of this which I can't seem to shake is that we, capsuleers, are paying customers, have CCP forgotten this, I am to an extent a bitter vet because I've had nearly 5 years of broken game mechanics, non existent support for major issues (Tidi is Lag, don't insult our intelligence, A rose by any other name and all that), this event feels like it was not arranged for the paying customers enjoyment...but more for someone else's...but we are the ones paying.
This was the death of player events...put the date in the calender, erect a monument to it and for those who participated, never forget, and tell all of your little ones as they sleep in their pods never to embark on a CCP lead event because this is the true reflection of CCP's attitude towards it's customers, we are disposable commodities that will be smashed like a proverbial wave against a proverbial cliff face for someones enjoyment, but not ours.
And to the nul sec pilots, you lucky buggers :)
