CCP: I'm sure you're aware of why so many people "mudsling". Basically, we have several allegations of influential people in large alliances who have a history of getting the rub of the green (so to speak) having GM assistance.
Now, it turns out that in BoB's case, it was true. Other allegations were brushed under the carpet. The CAOD forum isn't exactly a bastion of free speech, and your blogs aren't helping either.
Kugu does what is necessary - he posts the truth and lets everyone else decide what to glean from it. A very large number of people lost a lot of faith in CCP, and in EVE as a whole, when they discovered that CCP employees [I note nothing's been said about the ISD allegations a while back] are making it impossible to have a level playing field. Many people consider the game to be tainted, and I'm your efforts at PR are really just polarising opinions more.
You are complaining that someone pointed out that a leading member of LV and a Titan pilot is, in fact, a Dev. I'm sure you realise why people have a problem with that.

Ozzie: Realised my mistake and edited. I of course meant GM, and not Dev.
As for "Get a clue and perspective", I have both, thanks. I would suggest that those who cannot understand the reasons behind the dislike of playing against those employed by CCP who have more power than the average player should not accused others of lacking perspective.

Chewan,
 Quote:
When signing up for EVE you KNOW that Devs and GMs DO HAVE Chars ingame
Actually, when I signed up for EVE back at the start, I knew no such thing.
If you read my post, you'd understand why I think hiring GMs from positions of power in the top alliances is a bad thing, and why having GMs or Devs actively seek those positions is even worse. It's a straightforward conflict of interest, and unfortunately for CCP they need to be careful about their reputation at this point and should be playing it safe.
I've got no beef with The Enslaver - he's done nothing wrong. However, I do have a problem with CCP policy and I think it was immensely short-sighted of them to hire him as a GM and not convince him to leave LV. Furthermore, attacking Kugu won't really get them anywhere - why is it only LV that should know that Enslaver is a GM...?

Let me correct your post ...
No need, I did it myself. Dev/GM was a simple mistake (I meant GM, I typed Dev).

Why should anyone have a problem with that ? A great plyaer, with indepth knowledge of the game, was invited by CCP, to put all that knowledge to good use, as a GM.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Agree 100%. I also think he shouldn't have remained in LV once it was known to his alliance mates that he was a GM.

And who said they knew?
The conversations that Kugu posted make it pretty clear.
Again - I have no problem with him getting hired as a GM.
Originally by: Chewan Mesa
Where is the problem with the GM retiring from the alliance then, there is no conflict of interest anymore, he didnt pilot the titan, he didnt make any alliance decisions, nothing.
He didn't leave LV when he became a GM, and still logged onto Vent etc (according to Kugu, that is).
Do you not understand why the whole BoB business means that CCP really need to be far more careful and adopt a different strategy?

Jaabaa: I dunno, it seemed to be up there pretty quick as part of the whole exposure...
Anyway - I don't wish to spam this thread any more, just wanted to explain my position further.
