Sorry to hear about your loss.

It really sucks when something beautiful you spent time creating gets destoryed by the actions of others and there didn't seem to be anything put in place by those in authority to stop it happening in the first place.

At least the Police are there to provide consequnces.

As much as those -directly- responsible for the act have rightfully earned the ire of the community, CCP Falcon's behavior and posting indicate a very clear anger - an anger that should have led to him recusing himself from impartial judgment in this situation.

Anger doesn't prevent impartiality, and I doubt you'd find anyone at CCP who doesn't feel the same way he does.

CCP is not obligated to neutrality like a court of law. Anger them at your own peril.

Hmm... some of the guys involved turned themselves in, and still got perma-banned? Not condoning what they did in any way whatsoever, but doesn't such a harsh response disincentivize people in the future from admitting to what they've done while drunk?

Anger? No.

Disappointment that this happened? Absolutely.

As much as I appreciate the sentiment and your post, the disappointed dad routine just doesn't jive with the 'swift hammer of justice' vibe. I believe you may have acted hastily and rashly, and while you have no obligation to explain yourself to me, I believe it necessary to point out this extremely possible scenario.

Thanks for your opinion on the matter.

I know I am reading too much into this but that really sounds like not-so-stealth anti-ganking whine. But it cannot be it, you are in Spiritus Draconis after all, right?

Not a whine just a lick at the delicious Irony.

The only thing that really surprises me about the whole episode is how surprised people are acting.

At its lowest eve is a dirty place full of mean spirited spiteful destructive acts against people who can barely defend them selves, and we love it, but what kind of community do you think that will breed ? one where everyone respects everyone elses property?

You've never done something stupid IRL to impress your friends? When you do inevitably do something stupid to impress your friends in the future, now that there's a precedence of the consequences for honesty, are you going to come clean?

Just a note for people who say eve is full of the lowest of the low:

In general, everyone at Fanfest is friendly. Yes, it tends to be the uberfans. But it's also a bunch of highly social, and socialised, people.

Yes, being rich does make happiness and socialising easy

Quite understandable that CCP cannot name names, affiliations and etc.

However, could you please tell us the approx isk value of all the stuffs confiscated from the permanently banned accounts?
