Honestly, I am getting a little sick of the hatred in the thread.
The BPOs are not good. And in real life, you cant kick or fire someone over a "insignificant" thing as this. We are speaking about real life people, with real life work. Real life family. A warning is on its place. But screaming for someones head just over a stupid game, and a happending that did not affect anyone in the game?? The BPOs are litterally worthless!!
T20 have showed us lot of dedication to EVE in his time here. I think its time for us to show him some trust too. Its human to fail once. If it happends again though. Then its another thing. But until that happend, he will have my trust.
Pardon me Sir, but I am a consumer. CCP sells an entertainment product that I pay real life money to enjoy. We are now finding out that that product is not exactly what it has been represented as. Your protests that it is 'just a game' fall on pretty deaf ears for those of us that see it as a product, and expect to receive exactly what we are paying for. For me, that means a level playing field and game environment. T20 is not just another player, he is an employee of the corporation that sells this product. A product that is purportedly free of this sort of behavior by way of mysterious checks and balances that apparently do not work as advertised.
I think the people in this thread are very much entitled to their outrage. As either an individual or a member of an alliance, I would dearly love to possess a Sabre BPO. That ship costs over twice what any other interdictor costs in my region of space. I know, I fly all four, based on current market price, and the abilities of the hull. One can safely assume that difference in cost is pure profit so you can drop the protests about these BPO's being small potatoes. No one is buying it. The original source of this information, which was widely criticized as being counterfeit, also showed monthly payouts from the program these prints were fed into, so since the source has been validated on the existence of the abuse, I'm afraid I am going to have to assume the payout information was accurate as well. The burden of proof is now on the alliance that denied the entire situation, not the source of the information. The opportunity for them to say 'yes we did this, but no we didn't do that' has come and gone. I might add, those denials were accompanied by highly personal attacks that as far as I have seen, have not been apologized for.
The alliance that directly benefited from this abuse has now declared war on mine. How much of a difference will this abuse make? I don't know. Maybe none at all. But I hope you can understand how that uncertainty might rob me of some of my enjoyment of a product that I am paying money for, for purely entertainment purposes.

Yeah... Probably not.
