OK from my perspective - this was a terrible event from CCP
I live in lowsec and I love PvP - My sec status is near enough -10, and I went to FD- and 8J fully expecting to die - so please don't say I'm a highsec carebear just crying here.
My main issues are:
- Before the event, there was no communication from CCP - no in-game channel that everyone could join to get *any* information
- The staging system of FD - A well known goon camped system, with them getting at least a days notice that massive fleets of people would be coming though
- Sitting around for ages waiting, with local being spammed worse than Jita - then the 'NPC' turning up and trying to see their message in local amongst the goon and BNI spam - no one had any idea what was going on.
- Telling everyone to pile into a location, in null sec, with tonnes of dictors/hictors - basically meaning that it turned into a TiDi nightmare with no one having any idea what was going on
- Being shot at by the very Vindicators we were supposed to be protecting
As I say I fully expected to die at this event - but the planning and execution was terrible on CCPs part |

I have absolutely no doubt about this. It's probably payback for all the moaning about CCP giving out free IWatch Scorpions to SOMER |

It's probably payback for all the moaning about CCP giving out free IWatch Scorpions to SOMER  orly? "I live in lowsec and I love PvP - My sec status is near enough -10, and I went to FD- and 8J fully expecting to die - so please don't say I'm a highsec carebear just crying here." This really made my day. Who is this kid from ******* SMA (lol) with terrible killboard record? Why are you acting so tough now? Oh you baddie... 
Well the fact of the matter is you'll see me out in Lowsec almost every night - from Black Rise down to Bleak Lands, out in a solo ship or as part of a small gang. I lived in Catch and Provi during one of the many wars - I lived in Curse for a while. Hell on another character I was even in Groon and lived in Syndicate when Pyrion Flax was FC.
I'm not PvP adverse, nor am I naive to the fact that there would be camps and blobs and that I would definitely die - these spaceships are only pixels.
My issue is there was NO communication or organisation from CCP, and the whole thing seemed like a setup so that goons could have a good laugh at the expense of the poor noobs in highsec.
If this was a lore event that CCP wanted everyone to join in they would have organised it in lowsec - no bubbles, only instalock camps which are fine - you have a chance of escaping them, and at least the gate guns would have given the noobs a chance.
Instead they basically funnelled everyone into goon space and sat back at their party and had a laugh. |

We haven't had time to go through it all yet, but we will be doing so as a team and taking a lot of points on board to shape our work in the future. We will also be explaining some things to clear up some misunderstandings we have been noticing. Thanks for your time and patience. Movements announced on Twitter? So, I now need a Twitter account to fully participate in Eve Online? As they say in the industry I work in when it all starts to go pear shaped...Back to Basics. Eve Online is a computer game first and foremost. Twitter, jeez... lets add a facebook acount to :P thanks for screwing up my trust years ago so i didnt participated....saves so much tears 
And now CCP are using that to punt us their Gé¼70 hoodies and Gé¼30 euro T-shirts that no one really wants or will pay that price for.
THANKS CCPBAMA |
