I suspect she is a goon but like most CCP dev's and others with influence will also have a foot in the door of other alliances and aspects of eve including carebear miners, PVE Players, Gankers, scammers, griefers and noobs.

However if her vision of the game is centred towards a single philosopy such as goons (but could be another) with the exlusion of others such as carebears then the game will continue to lose its balance which at the moment is heading towards a game of griefing, scamming, bullying and dare i say it, cheating. I would hope most good developers consider the impact of changes on the whole game but the last few years we have seen little sign of that.

I don't think devs would be wise to state the alliance they are in it would harm the alliance, unless of course the developer was a senior figure within the alliance rather than a lemmings with little influence.

However devs do need to test the game at all levels and if they need to magic a titan and the skills to fly then I guess thats got to be accepted, would be a waste of resources to ask them to mine for it. So long as they dont magic themselves and their friends too much stuff as has happend before

I will come back to the game I used to love when I see more balance and a role for small corps and solo play. Being forced to join an alliance and move to null sec is not for me. I seen it, done it and I have many t-shirts. I dont have the time to make eve a way of life, but I do want eve to be a part of my life, just for a few hours here and there. If CCP decide they wont support this style of play then elite is out soon and maybe that will be what I am looking for?
