Man the defenses!
CCP Navigator wrote:As many of you may have seen from the Scope News alert on Facebook or on the EVE Online news center, a CCP fleet has departed Polaris on a training exercise. The fleet will be appearing, possibly in a system near you, and should be considered dangerous. Well, you guys know we know nothing about EVE so maybe we are harmless. Some of you will find out if it is the former or latter which is true. Our incursions are a training exercise for something much bigger later this year and we want players to attack us and have fun. As a result, we have rules of engagement for how the CCP fleet will interact with other players. Naturally, you guys are free to shoot us at will and you operate under no rule set outside of the normal EVE Online rules. Please see the set of rules below: 1.CCP Devs will be flying ships which are available to all pilots so no exotic ships such as the Eidolon will be used. We want to ensure that all players have a fair chance to participate and the test environment ships are too much to handle. 2.All CCP ships will be Tech I or Tech II fit. 3.CCP Devs will attack players, generally in response to being shot at first. We may aggress on ships which are spying on us or setting up for a hostile fleet warp in. 4.CCP Devs will NOT pod players who lose a ship. 5.CCP Devs will not be able to use slash commands or any other insider tools which give an unfair advantage. 6.The CCP ships will be strong and the use of pirate implant sets or other enhanced implants will be used. 7.CCP will engage in some friendly smack but will not respond or engage in any smack which is considered obscene, racist or sexist under any circumstances. So what is this all about? Well we want you guys to have fun. Many times we have seen requests from players for more live events which are not centered around the Sansha incursions. We are taking this opportunity to bring a fleet for you to fight, or assist if you so desire. Yeah right! We understand that many of our players love to fight so there is every chance that you will obliterate us in quick time. If that happens, be sure to check our wrecks for some very valuable loot. There will be plenty in our cargo. If you have any questions, please let us know in this thread and we will do our best to answer them. |

Funnily enough, the CQ would actually be a reasonable place to host 'livestreams' while trying to avoid bandwidth overloads - as you can just send the game client simple actions, rather than images to decode. It would also allow for other special flavors.
They'd need to implement support for that first though... |

mommy wont let you stay out till US primetime or something? The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

AkJon, they built the sandbox, and allow you to play in it (for a fee).
If they occasionally want to play in it themselves, and interact with the other kids as themselves for a change, they certainly have every right to do so.
You are perfectly free to not participate. To kill the enemy and break their toys!

They have the legal right to do whatever they want, including shitting on the game, neglecting the game, introducing rampant MT into the game, or 'playing' the game as 'gods'. That's what resulted in a few dozen of them being let go iirc.
Given my track record of being right about everything in the face of vehement outrage from the fanbois around here, I think it's a safe bet I'm right this time too. I don't mind doing the heavy lifting in the face of irrational tears and flaming.

Bullshit! Its a trap. Attract a bunch of players on to one node thats "reinforced" so it lags like crazy (cause it won't be reinforced, to give the devs a meta gaming advantage ), use dev only modules (doesn't sat special equipment is not going to be used, just no special ships ) to bubbled the entire grid with a 5 AU sphere, fire off an aggression sphere that causes CONCORD to consider the players as hostile (even in lowsec and null, cause they control CONCORD duh! ), and watch the carnage. Then they fire a really big version of the old AoE titan Doomsday which can hit pods and collect those juicy killmails. Never trust a developer I say |

Did they grind for those ships, mods and implants? And for the fat lootz in their cargos?
Can I make an announcement that gets put on everyone's log-in screen when I go PVPing?
Yes, this would be worse if they brought their god mode ships, but they have before and no doubt they will again.
They also said that this is like a trial run for something BIG.

Whether or not you were right in the past is irrelevant to being right in the present. Getting bent out of shape about a Live Dev Event doesnt come close to making you sound like 'the only voice of reason'. Your making yourself sound more like a nattering madman yelling about frogs jumping on his body while walking down the middle of a busy city street.
This is just a bit of extra fun with some bigger fun planned in the future. I for one hope there is video if I am unable to participate in a little dev slaughter. |

Dear Princess Celestia,
today I learned an important lesson about trolling: Some people don't even need to troll on purpose. They are just so bitter that they can derail entire threads full of people that are normally used to deal with generic trolls.

Hey AK, maybe CCP knows that they will never get the load on SiSi that they can get with a live event on Tranquility. Maybe they want to see how the environment currently evolves when a node, that is not reinforced, suddenly gets lambasted with thousands of ships. This definitely will rarely ever happen on SiSi.

AkJon, they built the sandbox, and allow you to play in it (for a fee).
If they occasionally want to play in it themselves, and interact with the other kids as themselves for a change, they certainly have every right to do so.
Where I am from it is frowned upon when the sandbox builders get in and play with the little kiddies
Oops; I went there
AK does need to chill out though even though this could seem like an attempt to get people to tab over from Skyrim.

You spout off about how this game is player driven, which is true, and that's why it's so much cooler to have things like this be a source of loot rather than artificial, NPC driven things such as missions and ratting.
And hell, with the current state of piracy for profit, I doubt this is going to inject much into the economy, at all. Have you ever turned up a sizable isk/hr ratio by looting standard t1/t2 mods? The only way I see this being OP is if they decided to use top-level faction ammo (Domination, True Sansha) but I doubt they're stupid enough.
Additionally, Sisi is utterly ******, with supercapital pilots camping all the sites 24/7, and if you think anyone goes there for any reason other than e-peen growth, you're pretty much completely mistaken.

Don't waste your time.
This is the same braniac that insists CCP is manipulating the PLEX prices by printing ISK and buying up PLEX themselves, that Dramiel's underpowered if anything and die in droves, that the changes being made to boosters are part of a micro transaction plot (again, somehow tied to manipulating PLEX prices), and that all CCP employee's should be forced to wear electric shock collars. Oh yeah, and that Chribba is an Uncle Tom.
I don't think reasoning with him is really an option. To kill the enemy and break their toys!

Yes, I learned this long ago, back when I was in the same mini-alliance as him. He insulted one of our directors in our public alliance channel, then after said director muted him for a few minutes, AK went on a ragetrain about how he was being mistreated and how being muted was unacceptable before tearfully quitting our group. Was hilarious. |

they seemed to be putting up a pretty good fight - a lot of player wrecks and not too many of theirs when I left on the long pod journey home to the other side of the galaxy.
My client crashed twice during that!
but took part and was popped by CCP and survived long enough to do a little damage to CCP Masheen so that will do me!

So, quick rundown of the event;
CCP arrive in Tama, gets one or 2 killed reasonably quick, gets their act together and starts BBQ'ing uncoordinated people. Alliances start to turn up, PL jumps in Titans and Supercarriers, Nothern coalition brings a small baddon fleet and some assorted others bring roaming gangs. Lag ensues,CCP loses 10-12 ships after being hotdropped. Tactical retreat.
Eve-kill still updating apparantly.
I still find nanobot accelerators on the navy apocs to be quite fail seeing as they don't have any reps and are buffer fitted..... |

CCP, I'm not sure if you care about ~serious responses~ because I'm not sure if this was supposed to be serious or not Obviously you wanted people to have fun, but you also said it was a "training exercise".
From the point of view of a training exercise, I'm glad you guys are are out roaming and playing the game with the players. That's awesome, epic like I've never seen. I hope you're trying to get a serious view from the players perspective, what dealing with the overview looks like, what dealing with the bracket lag is like. How it feels to actually be in a fleet fight. i.e. while I hope you guys are playing your own game for fun, I hope you're trying to take something away from this.
As far as actually fighting in a fleet though. *shakes his head* no logi, multiple tank types, active and passive tanks mixed in. Not very "realistic" from a training exercise perspective (if you were even headed in that direction). Not to mention the unrealistic ship fits, T2 trimarks worth 5x the cost of even the faction ship hull? Now, from the perspective of having fun, I don't really mind the uber setups, and setting a limit of T1 or T2 items (no faction/etc), I don't really have a problem with it. It makes it more fun for the players to kill a 5b isk ship. But your fleet composition needs a lot of work
From the point of view of just having fun, interacting with the players. GREAT SUCCESS! I wish I would have logged on a half hour earlier. I got on just in time to see the PL titans :) and I was a good 30 jumps out. Again, it's good to see CCP playing their game. I know there's jokes about that, and you usually come back with "we do, you just don't know who we are", but I think there's a general sentiment among the players that you don't -really- play. You might be out there experiencing some parts of the game, but it doesn't feel like you're actually involved in the large fleet fights or big alliances or the hulkageddons or the piracy. Generally the things Internal Affairs wouldn't want you participating in because it might hurt some feelings. Seeing you out getting in a big fleet fight is a welcome sight, even if your overview settings leave a lot to be desired |

Most of them were because the ship choice for most dictated armor. However, there were several raven navy issues and nightmares mixed in. Overall, yes, the fleet was fairly uniform, but still mixed.

I'm sure the 50 or so PLEX that dropped will have a GIGANTIC impact on your market....
Also, this isn't anywhere NEAR what happened with BoB, go back and learn some history. CCP is playing their own game again, if you want the game fixed at all, let them see first hand where the problems are. Telling them not to play is only going to make things worse. |

I do know my EvE history so STFU and They have A Test Server for that kinda ****... Seeding isk into the game what wasnt there is what is causing the giant inflation in the EvE market.
They are ment to be doing this again sometime soon. And i bet some CCP Fagget will but yet tip off Pl or goons/Test about it and then more isk will be put in the hands of them. |

Hi.
We didn't loot the field.
If you're mad about CCP "feeding big alliances", go campaign for a moon mining rework/nerf. I'll even join you.
Or just stay mad, whatevs. Both are fine but the latter is more amusing to us. CAUTION

In all honesty;
Has this little "training exercise" turned out into what you guys where hoping it to be? Or planned it to be even?
I would have expected a roam through high sec to avoid the issues of being hot dropped but seeing as you stayed in one place and low sec for that matter...i must ask: Was it what you wanted it to be? |

You guys gained a lot of respect for doing what you guys did. It'd be awesome to see more of it in the future (and not crappy incursion/npc/storyline crap either). I wouldn't mind throwing something like a Paladin against you guys if it was a clean, even fight or something (aka enlist all of CCP in the fleet, not just a handful of Devs :D ) |

So go on then. Since you are such an expert how much isk was just injected into the game?
I guess you could work it out as:
Isk from CCP - ( isk lost in popped ships + opportunity cost)
Obviously you are the expert but for others that are interested opportunity cost is the money lost by players not incursioning or missioning etc. |

Im actually a bit pissed off about this event.
It was just an event that fed big alliances lots of fun and plex and isk.
Unless you are based around tama low sec you were just SOL. I thought this was supposed to be a roaming fleet. But it was just a big pinata for PL and others big groups.
It just pissed off most of my corp. Thanks for leaving the little guys out of stuff once again CCP.

I think we started with 8 guardians and did quite will for a while but of course we all died in the end Number of guardians was limited though since we only used folks who knew what they are doing in a logi (for the most part). QA Guy | Actually Existing | A-Team Signature up to your IMGination. |

Next time you might wanna educate the less experienced devs on fitting though. 4 plates on a mach, nanobot rigs and that whole fetish with navy apocs (why not use the navy geddon if you want a faction bs for armor bs fleet)
Just sayin', you might have more success = more fun. |

Sit around tama till you get hot-dropped by large alliance and give them more wealth is crap PR. If it wasn't for that LOOT this event could have been brushed off as just fun.
But the loot makes it a slap in the face to those the could not participate.
Its down right insulting. Basically a rigged lottery where the winners were already picked even though everyone has a ticket. |

So you just admitted only 8 CCPers play EVE!
So, bet you wish you rolled out that supercap nerf sooner, eh?

Next it'll be "CCP DIDN'T ROAM IN MY TIMEZONE, JUST FEEDING EUROS" Im not a high sec dweller and i think this event was Bull. As do most of the people Im talking too about it right now. Sit around tama till you get hot-dropped by large alliance and give them more wealth is crap PR. If it wasn't for that LOOT this event could have been brushed off as just fun. But the loot makes it a slap in the face to those the could not participate. Its down right insulting. Basically a rigged lottery where the winners were already picked even though everyone has a ticket. You realize that all those millions of frigs got the loot and not we in the supers/few webbing lokis right?

Those of us bourgeois understand that you null dwellers are in need of targets and good loot once in a while since we are too smart to feed our ships to your bubble camps. I am glad to see CCP showing some charity to start off the holiday season.

I missed the event because after the emergency d/t my client now crashes every time I start it. I was excited even got my Phantasm ready for pvp and ready to be lost..unfortunately due to technical problems I couldn't do it. I do hope CCP does it again soon.
/begin rant
To everyone whining that this was one sided, the big alliance do not own all of null sec. Also going into null sec does not equal death. You can bring your high sec pvp frig fleet and kill as much as possible before your fleet dies (or not). Plus NPC Null is 100x better than empire anyway. Null sec is different and you whiners should learn more how to survive and less whining on the reasons why you THINK you cannot. Goons, Test, Pandameic Legion, White Noise etc. all started as small alliances. Just because they own a monopoly on it doesn't mean you cannot attempt to take it away. Point is dare to dream big, gather enough balls to win or lose big, and stop the whining. All this whining is what is breaking EVE. Empire maybe the land of carealot with welfare and whatnot, it doesn't mean you need to try and make null sec the same.
/end rant
Hopefully CCP does this again after Crucible is launched and stable enough. I think it will be fun to kill some dev's then fight test goons and all them in the same fleet afterwards..It sounds like epic fun.

It was an honor 07 In all honesty; Has this little "training exercise" turned out into what you guys where hoping it to be? Or planned it to be even? I would have expected a roam through high sec to avoid the issues of being hot dropped but seeing as you stayed in one place and low sec for that matter...i must ask: Was it what you wanted it to be?
For this event? Yes. For the most part we got what we wanted I think :). We wanted to get a good number of devs online to experience the thrill of the fray together against a greater number of players. We wanted to get players excited about this, we wanted to "leave some bloody noses" (to quote Navigator's mail to the participants) so the our honored adversaries would know they-¦d been in a fight, and then we wanted to fight to the last man and let the brave reap the spoils.
As a Community Developer I feel an event like this embodies a lot of what I want to achieve. Get players and devs mentally connected and appreciative of each other's hard work and dedication.

The amazing thing is most of the people who came to this fight probably weren't the least bit concerned with the loot. I know when I first saw what was going down, my only thought was "CCP Killmail?!? ". I didn't care at all about the loot, not one bit, I don't PVP to get rich. A plex dropping? I can earn that in a few hours. Heck, I can probably earn it faster staying in my home system ratting than flying all the way out to the fight and trying to scoup one then flying back, certainly safer. It's not like CCP ships were dropping officer mods left and right. I might be wrong here, but I'd be willing to bet all the isk in my wallet (not a lot FYI) that PL supers are rich enough they don't care one bit about the loot drop either.
The people that were out there, for the most part, are the ones that want fights and killmails. I'm sure there were some that were out there to try to make it rich, but these weren't the big alliances, those guys are already rich, they own supers ffs. It really shows the difference between those complaining about how much isk was injected and those that want more goodfights with CCP. |

So you agree that loot should not have been in their ships to begin with.

Just so I'm understanding this correctly, can you confirm that your statement is that because we dropped some items for people to loot in the arena during this single event in a single system in a rather large videogame we were insulting everyone who couldn't be there?
Do you have any suggestions for how this could be improved upon?

You shouldn't have had LOOT with IRL money value in your ships to begin with.
Its freaking captain obvious level stuff here.
All you did was **** off a lot of people with that.
Im going to add you should have come out in lots of small gangs and roamed with that gang not sit there and wait for someone to hot drop you. You should have used the opportunity to promoted small gang hit and run PvP not sit in a system and wait for people to gank you. There are millions of things you could have done.
In the end you excluded lots of people from having the chance to interact with you on a meaningful level. Only the Large alliances really got to have fun. |

Quoting for truth. The Jita fleet actually discussed loot for a moment, and the first question was how we'd divide it up. After a few joke suggestions ("Everyone gets 5 minutes of free playtime.") the general consensus was that no one gave a crap. The motivation was for kills and fun. The FC was calling targets based on easy kills or infamy ("He the guy responsible for fixing lag? Not on my machine. Primary him first.")
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not at all concerned with what was in the holds of those ships, and I didn't get the impression that many of the other members in fleet did either. Just getting on Dr. EyjoG's killmaill and a few others is fine for me. =D |

It's the same whining you've heard elsewhere. Some lucky people got some drops, and therefor they feel butt hurt that they didn't get their share. |

I believe that this event was fun and exciting. And no, PL didnt all the GTCs (i dont think we even got one) and we even quit the field without looting so i'm not sure why are people whining that we are lining our wallets? I'm pretty sure we wasted more isk in fuel and ammo than we have gotten off the field.
Think of this event as a testing bed, if u guys would stop whining and raging u might even get more of it.

So you agree that loot should not have been in their ships to begin with.
I'm saying that the argument that CCP just fed isk to big alliances is pretty stupid. Players don't bring motherships and titans to get a few PLEX that dropped. I wouldn't even bring a battleship for that, if the battleship gets lost you get set back several hundred mil, kinda pointless when the items dropping were only worth that much. Again, they were only fit with T1/T2 items, not billion isk officer mods. The loot in the cargohold was mostly a PLEX or two and a few AUR items. You might find this hard to believe, but most players in the giant alliances don't get pumped enough to drag out every ship they own over the low odds that they'll be able to grab a plex being dropped. |

Just so I'm understanding this correctly, can you confirm that your statement is that because we dropped some items for people to loot in the arena during this single event in a single system in a rather large videogame we were insulting everyone who couldn't be there? Do you have any suggestions for how this could be improved upon? It's a difficult question and I'm very curious to hear opinions about improvement.
More live events and space pinatas in different locations should do the trick.

Was great fun to manage to get involved in the brawl and be popped by the CCP fleet. Hopefully can field something able to do better damage next time (and I really hope there is a next time ) |

*high-fives* I was part of that fleet. Had a laugh when FC primaried him about the lag fixing.
PLEXES would've been nice but I'm happy to just get in killmails.

It was an honor 07 In all honesty; Has this little "training exercise" turned out into what you guys where hoping it to be? Or planned it to be even? I would have expected a roam through high sec to avoid the issues of being hot dropped but seeing as you stayed in one place and low sec for that matter...i must ask: Was it what you wanted it to be? For this event? Yes. For the most part we got what we wanted I think :). We wanted to get a good number of devs online to experience the thrill of the fray together against a greater number of players. We wanted to get players excited about this, we wanted to "leave some bloody noses" (to quote Navigator's mail to the participants) so the our honored adversaries would know they-¦d been in a fight, and then we wanted to fight to the last man and let the brave reap the spoils. As a Community Developer I feel an event like this embodies a lot of what I want to achieve. Get players and devs mentally connected and appreciative of each other's hard work and dedication. P.s. Has anyone seen my corpse? I seem to have misplaced it.
Thanks for the answer, glad it worked out as planned then Mostly |

I enjoyed it, and the first part (before the gewns+NCdot+PL) was a very funny chaos.
I tried to help the CCPirates, killed a few random dudes, got on a CCP killmail, and looted the field.
AAA++ will play again.
PS : And I got a duel with CCP Navigator at a planet, but he had a good tank and I had to disengage, since I couldnt ransom him. :( |

Not to mention none of the stuff they had most likely did not come from the player run market.
They just devalued the plexes and nex items of people that pay IRL cash on them.
The race to defend this debacle is by those that want to pinatas to continue.
If its just about the KMs as they say then agreeing that there should be no loot drops makes sense, but isnt that strange that they are ignoring that? Why are you all so hostile to this if its just about KMs to you? Seems strange No one is saying that there shouldnt be events like this just that there was no need for that loot at all. Since its just about KMs you all can agree with that point.
CCP messed up and the LOOT was an insult to the players and injects stuff into the market that should not be there. There are many ethical reasons this was a bad move even from a company standpoint. |

I too would like to know who this "we" is, because it certainly isn't me. Also, before you start accusing everyone of just being on the goons side, or PL's side, or whatever. Look at my alliance ticker. I'm not "on their side" so much as "I think you're argument is bad". I like what CCP is doing, I like that they are playing their own game, and from my perspective, keep the loot or don't, I couldn't care less, but saying that it's all going to "the big alliances" is, again, a bad argument.
As for suggestions for you CCP. Like I said above, I don't care what you do loot wise, I thought today was fine, especially limiting the modules to T1/T2 and thus making sure 3bil isk officer mods would not be dropped by CCP. You can't make everyone happy. Next time roam in some other space or something, -try- to make it fair, but look at the majority of the feedback here. I think that most of Eve is happy to see you out playing the game, interacting with players, providing some new content, and generally shaking things up a little. Good work, keep it up! |

i wasnt there. am extremely jealous of the people that got to participate. but seriously.... stop whining you babies.
please ccp keep it up. i told people that dont even play this game what happened and they were stoked, even with minimal understanding of what eve is.
the only suggetions i have
if you want it to last longer be funner for the general population, dont let the super caps play ball.
i would also suggest either have the CCP fleet show up in hi sec as criminals but having paid off concord not to attack OR send out gangs to the different lowsec/hi sec or lowsec/null sec choke points and do some hit and runs on some gate camps. |

why aren't they here already? why have they left it to a goon to tell us that goons aren't cheating? is it because there busy working on making all the changes the goon cms asked for? why do u want us to handle it privately in emails instead of showing everyone youre honest here in public? |

Wow, dude, seriously. It was just a fun event and they put a few fun things in their ships as an incentive for people to come fight them!
Have you ever thought that CCP didn't work to buy/make the ships they were flying like we did for ours? It would be UNFAIR of them to not have extra loot to offset the risk we are taking vs. the NO RISK they were taking.
Also, Tama isn't anyone's territory. It's literally 3 jumps from Jita.
There isn't a single more fair place for them to have fought. ANYONE could have come because it was 3 jumps from Jita.
You are seriously an idiot. Why are you so upset about this fun event where they went out of their way to make it fair for everyone?! http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/winterupdate http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/supercaps http://soundcloud.com/davidkmagnus/pandemiclegion |

boo hoo no hs action and so much loot. Get into null and whs and you will make that type of cash easy
boo hoo one location one time It chance based like any other valuable thing in eve such as officer spawns
Keep up these events ccp they sound like a blast and keep listening to feedback and fixing things. I and several friends have been very impressed at how you are doing things lately post hilmar letter.
Hopefully next time I will be able to come get a ccp kill mail ( it would be more valuable to me then some plexes haha)
Also I hope someone frapsed this event. |

Would you have found it ethical if you had looted a plex yourself.
Your anger is just about you feeling left out in a very generous display from CCP, try not to be so bitter in R/L as you are in a game.
I missed out on this as well, but instead of being all angry like you, I'd like to congratulate CCP for providing some excitement and content for us pod pilots and trying to share in the driving force behind EVE, which is pvp. The devs that died had fun, the people that got on their mails had fun, and lots of people got to see titans in action for the first time :)

Have you ever thought that CCP didn't work to buy/make the ships they were flying like we did for ours? It would be UNFAIR of them to not have extra loot to offset the risk we are taking vs. the NO RISK they were taking. Also, Tama isn't anyone's territory. It's literally 3 jumps from Jita. There isn't a single more fair place for them to have fought. ANYONE could have come because it was 3 jumps from Jita. You are seriously an idiot. Why are you so upset about this fun event where they went out of their way to make it fair for everyone?!
I thought it was just about the KMs.

If you don't like events, stay out of them.
Thank you CCP, it was fun, there was loot, there was fleet fun for people that hadn't tried the fleets before.
There was pew pew, but above all, it reminded me of the old days. When my alt character lost it's Deimos, I was laughing, not shaking like I do in high value pvp.
Do this again, it brings back memories of the other great events you've put on, and the lack of them in the recent years.
Well done Gentlemen. |

My single "complaint" would be that the timing was a bit skewed.
Two days from now (Friday, Nov 25) is the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. (Black Friday)
Many of us who are out of school, and working class players, would have Friday off, and thus a better chance of participating and losing horribly fit ships as well.
What I'd suggest to CCP is to ensure that these events occur a few more times, and cover the non-euro timezones as well, if you can get people up to play. 19:00 EVE Time isn't exactly a prime time for those of us not in Europe.
I'd like to see a couple more events spread out across the timezones. |

Would you have found it ethical if you had looted a plex yourself. Your anger is just about you feeling left out in a very generous display from CCP, try not to be so bitter in R/L as you are in a game. I missed out on this as well, but instead of being all angry like you, I'd like to congratulate CCP for providing some excitement and content for us pod pilots and trying to share in the driving force behind EVE, which is pvp. The devs that died had fun, the people that got on their mails had fun, and lots of people got to see titans in action for the first time :)
No it was completely unethical due to the fact Items with real money value were used. And needs to be addressed.
Funny how it went from just being about the KMs to people saying the LOOT matters now. |

All ships have a real world value as long as RMT is an actual thing. Maybe you should quit and play another game, you seem to be the only one who's really butthurt about this.

I didn't even make it to this event, (aussie aussie aussie) and i still think it's an amazingly good idea on CCP's part to get in there and play their own damn game.
So what if they had some tasty lewt that dropped, from the pics i see of the engagement, it was a looting free for all.
Your (/all) just extra butt-hurt that you missed it. Don't go flying off the handle.

All I know is if you couldnt be there, you can watch it all again in lovely HD video too over on the Eve Radio website. The video is in 2 parts and the lag well ... it was there just the amount of stuff on display my poor little rig couldn't quite handle it all.
It was a great event that shows that even CCP still want to play there game.

Um, everything in EVE has real money value.
I can buy a GTC with my real money, and sell it here, on the forums, for ISK, and buy a bunch of ships. That ISK has real money value. So what you are saying is, CCP should never do live events because they can't fly ships with modules on them, because those modules might drop, and the ships can be looted for salvage, and they certainly can't have ammo in the hold (or anything else) because it has real money value.
You are right.
We are better off with CCP not playing the game with their dev alts. They shouldn't interact visibly with the players.
In fact, they shouldn't be allowed to play at all, because then they might have a better understanding of the game they are making.
Yep. You got it right on.
See ya later, gotta go flip a GTC to buy a faction-fit Loki. |

When your done with your logical fallacy laden tripe come back and have a real discussion.
No one said they shouldnt run events. Or interact with players.
They should not however have had such Items in their cargoholds that have clear Cash values. A plex and Nex items do have such values a battleship does not cause i cannot DIRECTLY purchase one with cash.
I wouldnt be surprised if this ran afoul of possibly gambling laws or some tax laws since those items have a cash value. |

They just devalued the plexes and nex items of people that pay IRL cash on them. The race to defend this debacle is by those that want to pinatas to continue. If its just about the KMs as they say then agreeing that there should be no loot drops makes sense, but isnt that strange that they are ignoring that? Why are you all so hostile to this if its just about KMs to you? Seems strange No one is saying that there shouldnt be events like this just that there was no need for that loot at all. Since its just about KMs you all can agree with that point. CCP messed up and the LOOT was an insult to the players and injects stuff into the market that should not be there. There are many ethical reasons this was a bad move even from a company standpoint.
My argument is plex and nex items do need to be devalued on the player driven market imo. I can cite other reasons that support why this was a good move on CCP's part. This was supposed to be a fun PVC (Players Versus CCP) event. From what I have been reading it did exactly what it was supposed to. It is the small minority that is crying favortism. Goonswarm is the new BoB in many people's eyes who don't actually know what they are talking about. My thoughts to bring more player participation to an event like this is have CCP roam around all of New Eden, ganking miners, and mission runners. Many would cry about this yes, but it would generate more buzz and a message that says "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose, especially today." Would hold true to everyone. Then give everyone some participation item (such as a reskinned quafe shirt that says something silly like CCP ganked me! or I ganked a CCP! or aurum for participating (i.e. getting on some kind of kill mail.) Or atleast allow the CCP's that come into trade hubs to do more trolololing than they did today. I mean these kinds of events are supposed to be fun for everyone. Obviously the loot idea, while a good one from an event standpoint, caused some problems. A participating item, and some funny quotes from what CCP's say in local would make up for the lack of isk made in said event. If I was a dev running an event like this, I would rehire some of the Atlanta guys and only pay them for live events they help with. Then I would run multiple fleets and make it a day or weekend long event, which would have gotten more participation imo than doing it on a weekday. (Weekend event say starts on Thursday ends Saturdays dt with two or three fleets in between with some CCP volunteers doing a little bit of suicide ganking and trolling. ) Or hold a lottery a week before on the forums pick some names out of a hat and allow select players to play on throwaway CCP accounts with nothing really overpowered besides the name CCP. Then for those that participated in that give them a reskinned Quafe t-shirt that says something like "I ganked with CCP." I think my suggestions sound like a fun event, and I hope you guys take these suggestions seriously for next time. |

Yes there should have been nothing given out other then a KM.
If anything they should undo all the loot drops. |

When any other company like a radio network or soda producer has a contest with cash as a proze should this also be banned? Should i call my congressman and tell him its unfair someone had a cash contest 3000 miles from me so i couldnt participate?
Sheesh talk about logical fallacy.
This is a game, have fun. If it makes you sleep any better at night just call this a winter expansion promotional contest. |

TBH I'm not too pleased with CCP's event.
Their subcap fleet sat in one system, waiting for that cyno to light up and the blob of supers to land on them. The loot was overkill, I mean really? 17billion isk in faction ammo in that machariel? Come on.
If their "roaming fleet" was actually roaming, dropping a massive super fleet on them would not have been so easy, hell, they may have even made it to other regions, where other people who were not willing to travel 15+ jumps for their "reinforced node" lagfest in a system crammed full of 1000 people. 3 jumps from jita, oh nice - the highest populated system of bears gets to be just a few jumps out.
If this was just CCP's way of saying "Here ya go, use your supers to blow our subcap fleet up before they're all nerfed", fine. But the talks of making subcap ships useful in large fleet engagements led me to believe they would be looking for gang fights, not a massive blob of supers.
Suggestions for future CCP Fleets: Review your fittings Roam Don't carry 17bil in ammo Roam Maybe have your own caps on standby for the situation you encountered in Tama Roam |

How is that unethical? THEY are the ones who lose out. Also, lets not forget that with that logic, ANYTHING worth any value would be "unethical" as it could all go towards buying PLEX. You are just jealous about not getting it yourself. As for CCP, bravo on doing a great event. No other mmo bothers with this stuff as it is hard work, yet always greatly appreciated by most players. |

They inject isk into the market every year when they give out free ships around the holidays and I don't see you complaining then. Stop making it into something it wasn't CCP were out and trying to bring some fun to people nothing more. |

So let's recap.
The loot thieves had a field day.
PL had a field day.
The paste-eating fanbois had a field day.
The km whores had a field day (you'd add 200b or so to your ISK killed total if you managed to ***** all the mails.)
Everyone else ended up saying 'wtf, AkJon was right again.' EVE died a little more today. Stop peeing in the sandbox, CCP! If you want to bring a fleet through, fine. T1 battlecruisers, t2 fit, t1 rigs, (regular)faction ammo, 3% implants. No UBER drops!
I have nothing against devs interacting with the playerbase and enjoyed meeting a few of y'all at the Austin meet-up. But stop displaying such open contempt for the game we play.

One problem with roaming around in a sizable fleet in low sec, waiting to clash with other, even bigger fleets can be a bit of a problem with lag. If you have a couple pre-reinforced systems, you can be sure that at least no server lag reduces the possible maximum fun for the players in these systems. Just jumping around 50 jumps might turn out to be not such a brilliant idea under these circumstances. (Time dilation ftw!)
Another problem with jumping around like madmen results from the inability to set up a counter fleet and travel to a certain given destination.
With Jita close at hand, it was pretty reasonable to expect at least a small fleet being prepared soon after the news spread. Some would have thought it fun maybe to chase a CCP fleet around the world without having any fight at all, but a lot of other people would have called that just being plain stupid.
But I will quote our news from yesterday:
"The destination of the fleet is unknown at this time but fragmented communication picked up on channels indicates that the fleet are on exercise maneuvers which will involve direct combat with capsuleers. It is believed that this is an initial training exercise for a much larger operation coming up later in the year."
Feedback is always welcome, especially when it is constructive.

So many whining babies in this thread. Did you kids stamp on your Christmas presents when you got them in the wrong colour? Seriously, the CCP guys do something great that hasn't been done for years and all you can come up with is negativity?
All anyone needed to do was join the live events chat channel, that channel then continually posted info that a fleet with open invites and no ship restrictions was forming in Jita for anyone who was not in a corp or alliance, that fleet got intel from the live stream and moved to intercept. Easy, if you can't get to grips with that then you don't have very much going for you.
As to the loot, it was there to pick up for anyone who wanted but there wasn't that much of it. One guy in fleet got 4 plex which is nice but it's only 1.6 bil in isk. If you can't make a couple of billion fairly easily in this game then you're doing something wrong. Start blaming yourselfs not the guys at CCP who have gone above and beyond their normal duties to offer you something unique and exciting. |

we = ppl who pay REAL MONEY to play this game who dont like it when other ppl who just run incursions and pay isk to play get ccp devs flying to there doorstep to drop billions of loot. u have a history with goons and hearing this from u just confirms suspicions. there needs to be a ia investigation to make sure everything was done randomly or we cant trust u
I pay real money for two accounts and you can count me right out of your crying
I managed to get there in time. Couldn't carry anything away in my pod anyways but glad to have seen it and taken part

Two days from now (Friday, Nov 25) is the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. (Black Friday)
Many of us who are out of school, and working class players, would have Friday off, and thus a better chance of participating and losing horribly fit ships as well.
What I'd suggest to CCP is to ensure that these events occur a few more times, and cover the non-euro timezones as well, if you can get people up to play. 19:00 EVE Time isn't exactly a prime time for those of us not in Europe.
I'd like to see a couple more events spread out across the timezones.
So what you are saying is to be fair there should be more of these things and spread around?
a big +1 to that.
I was lucky enough to get there - but even if I hadn't the build up last night and all rumours and activity were pretty cool and entertaining anyway. It certainly brings an energy to the game. |

Man it's been a while since I've seen a fleet battle... I forgot how much I HATE lag.
...and then it all started to make sense...
The 'larger' forthcoming CCP event mentioned will be held at a time when the time dilation mechanic is on tranq... so in light of that what do you think the odds are that the lag fest of today was designed to make us appreciate and tout the wonders of time dilation in contrast to lag right after the expansion?

I'm surprised CCP decided to sprinkle Plex around, but apart from that, seems it went well.
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. |

-CCP likely had a blast doing this.
-Players that participated definitely had a blast doing this, for numerous reasons other than KMs (lol?)
-People who didn't participate are a little resentful, but are glad that CCP is actually PARTICIPATING in the game.
-RougeOperator is obviously butt-hurt that he wasn't there and continues to spout illogical 'unethical' claimed nonsense, which is bordering troll behavior. For every post he makes, 10 more of us refute his whiny banter. It's comedy, really =)

I'm going to blame myself for incarna, it was totally the players' fault. CCP offering us something "unique and exciting" is a 50 man fleet? Thats so exciting, unique, bla bla bla. I was looking for the opportunity to fight against CCP, as soon as I heard they were sitting in Tama, then 10 minutes later still in Tama, then a half hour later STILL in Tama, I found it pointless to consider participation. What resulted was those with supers dropping them on field, LOLing in vent, and bears from Jita scooping as much loot as they could.
All CCP would have taken away from that is their supercap nerf is necessary, and I doubt they learned anything about PvP. All the while adding 60 or so PLEX to the market - the only item that is created when somebody spends IRL money. Honestly, do you think people would be complaining like they are if a bunch of t1/t2 mods dropped? |

My only problem is that they didn't last long enough (I never get loots in live events anyway - you have to decide between looting and fighting in these chaotic events).
I was hoping they would do a longer tour, a long havoc-wreaking incursion that would give Sansha Kuvakai a reason to take notes, and an event for the books. I was also hoping they would do something silly too, like a swarm of Drakes or Arty Canes in a way of mocking us perhaps.
Being blobbed in lowsec like that was anti-climactic. It's like if I listed the names of all the great stars of today in a way that implied they were all going to be in the cast of an epic film, and then saying "gee wouldn't it be great if they were all in a movie together?".
Hope there's more of these events in the future and that this is a sign that live events overall, for whatever reason, will be happening more often. I could not think of a more fun way to lose ships.

Everyone else ended up saying 'wtf, AkJon was right again.' EVE died a little more today. Stop peeing in the sandbox, CCP! If you want to bring a fleet through, fine. T1 battlecruisers, t2 fit, t1 rigs, (regular)faction ammo, 3% implants. No UBER drops!
I have nothing against devs interacting with the playerbase and enjoyed meeting a few of y'all at the Austin meet-up. But stop displaying such open contempt for the game we play.
You are raging again. That aside, who are you to decide how anyone, dev or not, can fit their ships or carry in their holds? Why, if they are looking for people to bring a fight to them, wouldn't they sweeten the pot a bit (which they did without breaking game mechanics). Since when do you get to decide all the terms of an engagement? Did it ever occur that they may have been trying to fit in a way to last longer and give more people a chance to participate? You seem to have no grasp of the sandbox while berating others for using it. |

Perfect response CCP Sreegs, I think I will also send a mail to IA suggesting they respond to his email with a STFU. I was not able to join in the fun due to work, but reading about it gave me a few laughs. I love seeing that the CCP devs are actually interacting with the players and bringing some fun into the game. Would love to see this on a weekend or NA TZ though so I can get my own loss mail with devs on it :) |

It's a difficult question and I'm very curious to hear opinions about improvement.
Remember AURORA?
How about this scenario: CCP fleet appears in system. 30 seconds later a huge Goon fleet hotdrops into the system, wipes the board and scoops up everything before anybody else has time to react upon the event. Later it is "leaked" that Goonfleet was informed in advance or had an insider informing over MSN where and when the CCP fleet will arrive. Everybody suspects CCP Sreegs.
With no loot like PLEX and fancy pants involved, this scenario will provoke a much smaller burst of forum rage. Trust me. Mr. Science & Trade Institute, EVE Online Lorebook-á |

We're pretty much enemies with Goons, so how is it that we managed to appear right after they did, is CCP in the pocket of every big 0.0 alliance?
What none of you are prepared to recognize is that the larger more stable 0.0 entities have pretty expansive intel networks, and so something going down in a system like Tama is broadcast across a jabber or IRC client and suddenly our entire alliance is on the other side of the universe from where we are.
It doesn't mean that CCP is somehow doing something wrong, it means that all the effort we've gone through over the years of making friends all over the universe, spies, and other means of generating intel pays off.
Also you're over looking the obvious, EVE Radio was broadcasting the second one of its listeners reported the fleet.
So I guess EVE Radio is a bad thing too because you didn't know and you don't listen to it or hang out in its chat channel.
The fact that a group has a good reaction time to something can't be turned into a "You Cheated" argument.

It's really cool that CCP is flying fleets around...
But do you really need to carry around a bunch of valuable **** to donate to the inevitable Tech-fueled hotdrop that you will receive each time you do this? The game is imbalanced enough without donating valuable loot to people who really, really, really, really, really don't need it.
Next time, fly Drakes and Hurricanes like everyone else who isn't a part of the Goons/DRF cartel, and leave the expensive cargo behind. That's the only part of this which isn't cool at all. |

Because CCP makes this game you moron! If they really wanted to they could charge real money for anything they wanted to. (Please don't charge us real money for ships to prove this point.) It only has a cash value, because CCP wants the equivalant of a subscription for it so they don't really lose too much money. The only unethical thing CCP has done is not permabanning you for being a moron. |

If they could be converted back into cash then you may have a point, but they can't legally (in CCP's view) .. Heck, modules being dropped can be sold to make ISK to buy PLEX .. It's exactly the same, whether they are tech 1 or faction.
It's fairly easy ..
Money converted to Plex = CCP gets cash. Plex converted to money = CCP doesn't make $15 .. Oh no, sky falls in! (Not to mention that it is against the UELA) Modules converted to ISK converted to Plex = CCP gets cash.
So you are complaining that CCP is not making some money from this and someone gets to play for free for a month. |

CCP gets money every time the sell a plex. But those plexes also have a very important in game value. When they just generate them out of thin air it causes INFLATION. They basically just devalued everything in the market.
Which is a huge insult to players as it means their IRL money they spend on plex is now worth less.
There are many other issues with the way you are trying to logic this out. But Plex is a form of currency and has a IRL dollar amount value. |

Makes me laugh all this talk of CCP loving goons. Ever since the t20 incident it was always "waahhh CCP are still helping BOB, they've got a track record" etc etc. Now BOB is dead and almost forgotten, goons are next to be accused. Hey, those russians are getting big, CCP IS HELPING THEM. Incursion runners getting rich? CCP IS HELPING THEM. Success is possible without CCPs help, just because you haven't figured it out yet doesn't mean others can't.

The idea of CCP logging in and grinding ISK to buy ships for an event is quite simply asinine. They created and run the game. Why in the world would they "work hard for all that isk" when they work hard enough to give you this game to enjoy? You don't enjoy it? You are certainly free (and encouraged) to leave the game.
If you owned an ice cream shop and you wanted a bowl of ice cream, would you pay your business the same amount of money as customers do for a bowl of ice cream? Of course you wouldn't. You would get yourself a bowl of ice cream (which you own as part of your business) and eat it.
Moreover, the whole point of the event was to have fun and do some "testing." I could understand people being upset if employees of ccp were creating expensive ships out of thin air, and using them for regular gameplay. However, it is quite obvious that this is a special event and not somthing that happens in the course of your everyday gameplay.

No one said they shouldnt run events. Or interact with players.
They should not however have had such Items in their cargoholds that have clear Cash values. A plex and Nex items do have such values a battleship does not cause i cannot DIRECTLY purchase one with cash.
I wouldnt be surprised if this ran afoul of possibly gambling laws or some tax laws since those items have a cash value.
The thing I love most about forums if people who think they can use phrases they've learned from others to sound smarter than they are.
Quote:a logical fallacy is only asserted when the source is not a legitimate expert on the topic at hand, or their conclusion(s) are in direct opposition to other expert consensus.
I can go right now, to an website where I can, with my hard-earned cash, buy ships fit exactly like the CCP devs flew today. I can also buy plex, NEX items, and anything else I want, with cash. (other than PLEX, this is against the EULA, BTW - don't do it).
I can also buy all of those things with ISK, which I can earn, in game, by spending time, or I can acquire, by selling timecodes which I paid for with cash.
That is not a logical fallacy. That is a fact. Experts would agree with those facts.
According to recent reports, and the massive uptick in the ISK value of PLEX, a Titan is only worth about $1500 USD right now. It used to be much closer to $5000, by the way. I can say that because I can translate (roughly) the value of ISK to USD based on the price of PLEX and GTCs. Everything in EVE has a dollar value.
Now, if it were determined that CCP spawned the PLEX and NEX items (and ammo and mods) rather than acquiring them through normal channels in game, that is a problem. And that, frankly, is the only possible problem.
On a side note, I was not present today either, because I was at work earning my cash to pay for my subscription and GTCs I use to get ISK for ships. |

There are many other issues with the way you are trying to logic this out. But Plex is a form of currency and has a IRL dollar amount value.
You have to understand the context, Inflation is based generally on the idea that one currency will increase in comparison to a fixed resource. For a start off, any "helicopter drop" by CCP of a few dozen PLEX, or even a hundred equates to a drop in the ocean of the Plex market, it will be absorbed .. Why? Well, The PLEX market is already overheated due to other factors, devaluing a "currency" (i.e. ISK) would require much more than a few (i.e. sub thousand) drops.
You could actually argue that by dropping a resource against a fixed currency you devalue a largly overinflated resource to a more rational level much as QE does.
Ok, I will put this another way, 2 months ago I bought 5 years worth of Plex due to my IRL economic state, it had no reaction on the market. The same will be true of this event.
I know I am devaluing your argument which I know you have a legitimate concern for but you have to put it in context.
P.S. Oh and Ninja'd Page 21
P.P.S Inflation doesn't work in this context as CCP actually causes deflation by dropping items because they control the conversion ratio. |

Also, PLEX is not a form of currency. You cannot, through legal means, convert a PLEX into any form of real money. I know you're going to tell me that because you pay $15 for a PLEX, and PLEX is therefore worth $15, but its not a two way street.
$15 will get you a PLEX, and a PLEX will get you as much ISK as you can get someone to pay for it.
Put Simply:
$15 = 30 days of game time 30 days of game time can be converted to PLEX PLEX = X amount of ISK
This does not mean X amount of ISK = $15 This does not mean PLEX = $15
If CCP starts letting you convert ISK or PLEX to real money, then CCP legally becomes a bank and ISK a legal currency, meaning CCP has to abide by the laws that govern financial institutions instead of the laws that govern game software companies. This would not only be dumb, but cause CCP financial armageddon and destroy EVE immediately.

Just goes to show, you aren't a large well accomplished alliance in eve until you are being handheld by the devs of the game itself.
Yeah, enjoy your free in-game items because we all know you haven't ever done any real work in your life to deserve it so you might as well get it handed to you for free just like everything else in your pathetic little world - right chump?
When the lot of you lame ass scammers and wannabe pirates grow some ball hair and earn what you get by working for it then when will all consider you more than just over grown children that have some simpletons complex against other people, maybe because you yourselves are failures at life itself so you need to abuse others in a video game.
Sounds about right.
And as for this event, they can shove it. Wasn't interested in it and it is an obvious free hand out to the twats that ruin this game and a big FU to all of us legit players that try to actually earn what we have in the game rather than take it/steal it/buy it/etc.
Oh well, got real games to play: BF3, skyrim, soon at some point PSO2. Sorry CCP, but you fail and you will only continue to lose more and more legit customers if you keep hand feeding these garbage eating trolls that only make your product worse and drive more of your customers away.
There is no atmosphere (no pun intended) in this game anymore, it's pretty much a dead excuse for a revenue stream to iceland. I knew that from the beginning though and my stupid mistake was ever thinking this was an interesting venture when they've admitted themselves that this is simply a revenue stream to iceland and practically runs icelands economy. Yeah, all that money could go to your respective country and help your local area instead.
What I mean by "no atmosphere" is there is no respect in the game, no "high level". The people who have lots of stuff can't be respected because the things can be "purchased" out of game without doing any work to deserve it, this takes ALL of the atmosphere out of the game and makes it a certified Pay to Win game and nothing more, anyone that doesn't want to invest all of their time and money into eve need not apply because that's what you must do to make this game worthwhile in any facet. Or be a mindless robot and change your own perception to enjoy it, but I'd rather just highlight the problems and move onto something that's actually enjoyable and not just a waste of my life time; -insert any P2P online game here- WURM is a good one to list, that one will truly waste every second of your life and you will never accomplish anything at all, just like in EVE! Nothing but a waste of your money and a literal waste of your real life time - something you don't have unlimited amounts of.
Did you people really spend the last several years playing this game instead of living life? That is the saddest part of all of this, really, it is. While I was out living you guys were playing this half-assed space game that doesn't even feature realistic space mechanics. |

I was looking for the opportunity to fight against CCP, as soon as I heard they were sitting in Tama, then 10 minutes later still in Tama, then a half hour later STILL in Tama, I found it pointless to consider participation. What resulted was those with supers dropping them on field, LOLing in vent, and bears from Jita scooping as much loot as they could. All CCP would have taken away from that is their supercap nerf is necessary, and I doubt they learned anything about PvP. All the while adding 60 or so PLEX to the market - the only item that is created when somebody spends IRL money. Honestly, do you think people would be complaining like they are if a bunch of t1/t2 mods dropped?
Hmm, you know, i think your corp is butt hurt that it didn't get to enjoy any of the PHAT CCP LEWTZ. (mind you, neither did i)
You know, i can construct an argument just as well as your sad twisted little mate, RougeWarrior, here goes:
Oh noez, i didn't get no PLEX's or shtuffs from ccp for free, GIMME FREE SHTUFFS NAO, ETHICS ETHICS ETHICS herpity derpity waaa waaa waaa.
Pretty good huh? I could sooooooo pass for him.
Your entire opinion of this event would be very ******* different if you got to scoop some of that loot i ******* bet.

I said to my corp mates when I first found out that CCP were dropping PLEX's that the forum was going to full of angry people.
CCP were in a no win situation.
People were always going to find an excuse to come on the forum and complain about something.
Its a pretty sad day when CCP do something like they did last night (which was cool by the way) only to have people ***** and moan.
I popped along in alt and got blasted by a goon (YAY ) and yeah the lag was insane and yeah it was frustrating that PL turned up with their SC but so what, it was still a fun :)
Cheers CCP and don't let these moaning ****wits ever put you off from doing something like that again

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.

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.

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. |

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? |

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.

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.

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. |

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.

I was in a fleet that was busy with non-ccp stuff but because this is the internet - I'm free to have an opinion. It would have been great fun to have fought you guys and I'm hopeful you try this semi-regularly. It's not about the loots (for me at least) but about knowing that you're in touch with the game - mixing it up with us regular folks - and most of all experiencing the game that is played.
CCP - please keep being creative with stuff that involves combat, flying in space and new challenges. |

Unless I don't know about something that happened after the Tama engagement, this was quite a lame event. CCP should try a real roam through 0.0; one which includes jumping gates, avoiding blobs and hotdrops, baiting or forcing other gangs to engage you, running away and reforming after a loss.

Humm isn't everything in EVE if not in life a grind in someway? I must admit I love the game and play it every night, well play isn't the right word, I log in chat to my buds and watch a film.
In fact I'm probably one of the set of players that don't grind anything in EVE apart from our chops!
Anything you do in EVE is a grind if you look at it closely enough. trading,missions even PVP to a lesser extent.
It's the beauty of EVE and probably the one thing I would fight tooth and nail over if they ever tried to change it is the fact if you want you can do absolutely nothing in EVE if you want and still earn XP. God Said "Come Forth and receive eternal life!"-á I came second and won a toaster. |

So i guess you're saying that EVE is just facebook for nerds...
For the record i feel the same. EVE can be really dull at times but it has it's good moments.

Funnily enough, the CQ would actually be a reasonable place to host 'livestreams' while trying to avoid bandwidth overloads - as you can just send the game client simple actions, rather than images to decode. It would also allow for other special flavors. They'd need to implement support for that first though...

The only reason people are able to "run incursions" to pay for game time is because someone like you pays REAL MONEY to buy a PLEX and sell that to someone for ISK. Please go take your poorly typed and poorly formulated "complaints" somewhere else while civilized and intelligent people congratulate CCP on what a good event this was. |

I've done a bit of math, to help the situation become more clear. There are 7500 systems in Eve.
Given this, essentially, took place in only one of them, this is a DIRECT SNUB to all but 0.013% of EvE.
Also, I can confirm from leaked emails, that CCP were actually transferring money into the accounts of goons whilst this event took place.
CCP, please look at this thread, and hold it against other whine threads. Understand that literally anything you do will induce tears from people. This includes GIVING away playtime, and billions of ISK in loots. Then, nerf supers harder. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.

Lol, i just think rouge is whining because he didnt get any loot, the amount that all of that combined added to the eve market is a tiny spec, about as noticeable as that one piece of dust, yeah, do you see that ONE spec there?
Also confirming that i seriously doubt any of the big alliances got much loot as they were a minority there, and i personally got a bunch of it as my alt, and watched as most of it got nabbed by people like me single enterprising pilots in interceptors/frigates
I also saw quite a bit get destroyed by having the wrecks shot as well, i started doing that when my cargo filled |

This.
CCP has a long track record of contempt for the player-run economy and this is just the latest example. They buy up PLEX/GTC with ISK they magic-created and drive up the grind cost for everybody else.
Spawning **** from nothing is fine on Sisi. If you want to form a fleet on TQ, EARN IT. Or fly blackbirds/ruppies next time. |

Hmm, there was c:a 70-75 CCP piloted ships involved.
Each with 2 Plex in cargo hold.
The drop chance is 50% so about 70-75 "free" Plexes was dropped in an evil attempt to disrupt the EvE sandbox economy.
The avg turnover of Plexes in The Forge alone is a bit over 2000/d.
I'd say that their evil attempt to disrupt the sandbox economy failed miserably.

It's a shame that a fantastic event like this (and I missed the pew pew entirely) is being de-valued by a bunch of whiney schoolgirls ranting about conspiracies and how they didn't get teh lootz.
I can think of no other game where devs have mixed it with their player base , and even tried to reward the players for it and all some of you can do is whine about it.
I say good job CCP you've more than earnt my respect , please do more of this.
To the whiners - please quit now, the game doesn't need you , nor do we. |

Only turns out I was right about everything, and CCP finally, belatedly, realized that and changed course. If they'd listened to me sooner, many jobs could have been saved.
The EVE economy matters. Otherwise this is just World of Spaceships. Go play on Sisi if you think that's fun.

No it's not the economy, it's YOUR vision of the economy and how it should work.
W8 it's a sandbox, I don't give a frack about what you think how game economy should work, what are you going to do about it?

Or fly blackbirds/ruppies next time. This is an interesting accusation, though nothing more unless there is some evidence of it happening and CCP being behind it. And no, your distrust is not evidence. While true CCP did mention that they would intervene if plex prices deviated to greatly from what they had envisioned, their outside of the game influences are going the opposite direction. Sure, they could be driving the price up to entice people to buy more plex, but at the same time the ingame prices would lead to reduced amounts traded on the market and potentially lapsed accounts from those who plex regularly. Also offering and more aggressive advertising of plex bundles, as well as giving plex from the buddy system would suggest they want prices of plex down. This recent act contributes, though insignificantly, in that same direction. Either way, the plex should be the least issue since they have the lowest impact on ingame economy since they only transfer isk and don't directly affect player created items.
As far as spawning things, that is what events, and to a greater extent PvE in general are. Even your suggestions fail your own tests. Spawning a navy apoc is no different from spawning ruptures and blackbirds, either way someone who produces that item didn't get to sell it, but at the same time it wouldn't have been sold for that purpose anyway if the event hadn't happened. If your issue is with events that drop loot as a whole, what is the distinction between that and normal PvE? They both create resources out of thin air, just one is based purely on game code, the other involving direct control by devs. |
