Isn't this a can of worms?
I have allways been against metagaming and consider what has happened as a total breach of contract between ccp and its playerbase. As bad as the T2 system is it has just got worse, as it seems to be instrumental in unbalancing the game in the favour of the more unscrupulous players. If EVE is a game biased towards dishonesty, theft and breach of trust I do not want to play it. Pure and simple. Allthough my role in this game is meaningless atm, as one of the upcomming players of the future (or at least I like to see myselg that way  ) I wish to leave the following for CCP consideration:
1) The person responsible for bringing this whole affair into the public eye should have lenient treatment if he broke the EULA to do it, this information is of community interest and as such should excuse any minor ilegality present in making it public.
2) The Dev in question should have his accounts in the game terminated, and I personally consider that he should resign, but I leave it to CCP to decide on his future.
3) Being a member of the homeworld community (where I am known as Zepherian) and knowing several people quite high up in the BoB hierarchy I have in the past made it known that I would want to join their organisation. Allthough no firm response has been given to my request, in light of these events I am forced to retract all past statements to that effect, as I do not condone metagaming and believe that online gaming should be done based on equal oportunity. I will not take part in an organisation that has in the past harboured cheating activities.
4) CCP really need to revise the game mechanics, EVE is a game that rewards treachory and lies and penalizes the just. Is it any wonder that it succedes in corrupting the very people that create it? I suggest, for the long term, that CCP think about the moral implications of the game they have created, because atm it seems to be a school for scoundrels. And, to be blunt, it ******* sucks. I do not subscribe to enjoy the company of thieves.
