But don't get the impression the event was a bad idea, it was great to see CCP in game like this. But yes, it is more likely a big alliance will titan bridge in - or titan / super cap you as you discovered - and grab most of the goodies. It was a nice idea to drop phat loot, with the best of intentions, but EvE is a cruel mistress, and I'm glad you guys were reminded of that :) |

Nice to know CCP are bumbling around space like they used to. Now all we need is TomB to come along (Does he even still work for CCP?) in his Jove ships and scare the **** out of some low sec or null sec belt ratters.
Shame you couldn't get Hilmar or Oveur to join the fleet though.
TomB was in the fleet and got on quite a few killmails.

The event was cool and i would like to see more stuff like this. However, what wasn't cool was PL turning up with a titan fleet and dominating... Even CCP couldn't compete with that.
Next time cyno's should be jamed or it should be held in a high sec system where concord could be changed so they wouldn't attack CCP. |

Couldn't be more wrong on the loot front. The salvage and cargo Vulture's of RvB were there, so though they did get hotdropped, the phat lewt was very quickly snatched by RvB member's in attendance.

We sell a large boxes of tissues in 9UY down in Providence, feel free to swing by and pick one up.
EDIT: Also to be clear, im near 100% sure that not a single PL guy looted today, too busy killing 400 of the 700 dudes in system. |

nice job, nice job.
A few extra PLEXes are a drop in the bucket compared to daily trade volumes, nothing to worry about imo.
But high quality faction ammo (Dark Blood, Domination, ...) is extremely rare and usually gets very slowly stockpiled until the Alliance Tournament approaches. Or rather it was extremely rare - until yesterday.
Ignorance or malice? probably just another proof that CCP employees have no clue how their own game works and what consequences their actions might have. |

I look forward to the day CCP just counterdrop 300 titans on the PL superblob and wipe the floor with them. The PL chap a few posts up seems to have such a large stock of tissues he hands them out for free so I'm sure they'd be covered.
I honestly would laugh my ass off. |

You know full well that if PL lost a single titan to CCP escalation then their entire forum posting team would be flooding general with threadnaughts about developer bias right?

It seems fairly obvious to me that CCP intended to get destroyed by a PL fleet based on their actions. Call me paranoid if you like but I've been around here long enough to remember more overt ways of them giving their off duty toons isk from their CCP toons.
As for isk not being real money, that's true but it still has real money value. So do characters, accounts and the computer you play the game on. It may not be currency, but it is a good that can be traded for currency even if it's against the EULA. It is also equivalent to pissing in a lake and I don't think the whiners have a valid point. Giving out free game time for an in game event is perfectly fine and well within a company's rights. I doubt anyone would complain if a handful of plex's were given out for the alliance tournament or a design a ship contest. The only thing that would make it otherwise is if it were unfairly handed to someone, which I think it was in this case since I believe their fleet was deliberately configured and located to entice a PL hotdrop. |

You miss the point. If CCP said "Hey guys we are going to play bait for the big null sec alliances, feel free to come and get your **** pushed in" then that would be fine.
You'd probably be your own best customer of your tissues if CCP spawned titans to wipe you out. No? |

No it doesn't.
It doesn't because you cannot convert it back into dollars. So CCP aren't giving any one 'free money': they might be saving them money (that they might have otherwise spent on something other than EVE but those items only have value in EVE and no where else.
So what youre crying about is you didnt get a free ticket. Well tough cheese.

You could have formed a fleet to oppose PL. You could be running an alliance that could beat PL. Youre not - so I frankly cant see where your argument is.

Besides, the TQ motd didn't say "don't fly what you can't afford to lose, unless you are flying a titan". Not that PL can't afford to lose a titan or two.

This. Someone else said sth. similar earlier.. If there's some radio event in some part of your country where they give out free concert tickets, do you get mad, too, because you didn't get one or weren't even in that region that day? Do you scream "unethical"? Cause these tickets are the same as PLEXes: You cannot return them for money, but you can enter the concert with them. You may be able to trade it with someone. Selling those on eBay is illegal. You save money, if you would have payed for the concert otherwise.
Same thing, exactly. Unethical, neither. |

Sounded like fun, would have joined but really couldn't be arsed.
Even though I couldn't be bothered to turn up I want my plex and loot. Wait what do you mean only the people who bothered to turn up can have some.
FFS this place is like an old peoples home always moaning about something they are not happy about.
I'm sure people if they had nothing to moan or complain about would in fact moan and complain about the fact they had nothing to moan or complain about.
So what some tosspot in a supercap got a few hundred mill for turning up in his 30billion isk ship, he probably spent most of that in ammo and fuel getting there.
It was nice to see CCP taking an active role in the game, something sorely missed the last few years. Good work and I hope it continues. Maybe in the future smaller skirmishes with no notice.
This will at least stop the whingers moaning about PL/GOONS and any of the smaller chaps getting all the isk. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

ITT: Some butthurt minmatar fw fags (specifically autocannons anon) rage about loot. M8 u mad? WOLOLOLOLOL! "
Deal with it"
Edit: I propose Autocannons Anonymous is investigated for RMT, as this seems to be their focus.
But in all seriousness, awesome event CCP. Im a little sad I missed it after the entire "WHERE IS THE CCP FLEET?!" craze we had after the initial anouncement. Hopefully I will make it the next time and add 1 more Super to the field! Maddprops CCP! |

I know that Zin, but I was trying to emphasise the point that the guys in supercaps probably lost money to be in that fight. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

Not even remotely the same thing. The concert tickets arnt a hidden prize. They are a known quantity. And the narrative you are using dosent fit in the context of an MMO game with a player run economy.
What happened in this event was very unethical.

Awesome sounding event, shame I was stuck at work.
About those crying that they weren't there and so not handed a prize on a gold platter.
HTFU.
Seriously your pathetic self-entitled whining gits, and now would be a great time for you to rage quit the game, I certainly won't miss you.
CCP, more events like that please, just roaming around getting into the spirit of pew pew and drawing more people into lowsec combat. And while your at it, ban supers from LowSec please.

Certainly support more events like this. But please get ready to open a surprise incursion with 50 sansha motherships and dev-piloted heavy intedictors next time to counter hot drop the hot drop and spark off some truly epic scale of whining from the ex-super-cap pilots left on the field.
Now that would really be entertainment.

Im surprised there wern't legit counter drops here tbh. Anyone with a brain should have know that if CCP was going to bring a fleet out, and gave notice, that SOMEONE in this game would hotdrop it! |
