After knowing what the know about ghost training and how many of these items some people were likely to end up with I'd like to hear an actual explanation of
1) What was the decision making process like that resulted in the decision to give one to each account rather than one per ticket? 2) Was the fact that you're giving a huge cash injection to those who just came off exploiting the game not considered? |

you do know i was referencing actual historical scandal ccp was in right? this isn't some "fail conspiracy plan" it is what they actually have done ccp employees created t2 bpos out of thin air and gave it to players they liked.
I remember it, Which is why what you typed was silly. It amounted to "I have an evil plan to profit from this, now let's make sure it's totally noticeable!".
It's like all this people proclaiming that the Fighter Squadron nerf MUST be some secret plan to get people to buy more plex or something. It's like people haven't had a good conspiracy for a while so everything that happens must be some conspiracy instead of just being what it is.
CCP gave out some imaginary pixel spaceships they said they were going to give out. End of story.

I don't think such ideas apply, CCP can do as they please with stuff they own, which is everything in EVE. And CCP clearly stated in the article that was on the launcher that the rewards would be per account. Like everything else in EVE, the people who paid attention (instead of just assuming it would be "per ticket") benefit from it.

No, you're just not understanding what happened here, but forming an opinion anyway. You can get up to speed here.
The people who got hundreds, did so because they had massed accounts to take advantage of an exploit. This decision rewarded that exploit.
Sure, CCP can do as they like. But that doesn't remove the consequences of their actions. The players can do as they like as well. Guess who's an alpha clone next month? This guy. Along with many others.
If you want to continue to subscribe to a game with fundamentally broken mechanics, compounded by devs making bad decisions willy nilly, and ISD locking any threads they don't like while posting as faithful apologists, feel free.
EVE is a game that's played in the long-term. Playing a game where your development is planned a year at a time, requires faith that the team at the wheel isn't going botch things every time they touch it. If I were a shareholder, after this week I'd move for a no confidence vote. |

So would you like CCP to removed the ships? What is your ideal solution to this situation?
How about just limit them to 1 of each ship per ticket purchased as originally advertised rather just giving people untold amount of isk? I mean just look at jita and see how much the ships are trading for atm because they are supposedly rare due to supposedly limited availability So remove all the ships and then reissue them? What about the ones already sold? Should CCP reverse all the sales? Also if you check the video I originally posted. They are not rare ships. Kixx wrote:
Immediate release of Concord ships in game by some easy obtainable means otherwise instead of addressing the problem you have decided to become an accomplice by ignoring it.
You seem to have a misconception about my role. I am a player Volunteer whos job it is to moderate the forums and filter feedback to CCP. I am trying to get an understanding of what the issue is and what players would like to happen. So I am not sure where you are getting this "Accomplice by ignoring it" from.
The issue isn't the ships, nor is it a problem that Fanfest attendees got an early taste. The problem is the fact that CCP knowns damn well that anything they hand out at Fanfest has a super high value at first and that they decided to knowingly give ships to hundreds of accounts belonging to the same person. Just the act of giving highly valuable items to accounts that aren't even subscribed is completely mind boggling.
There are people currently out there who exploited Alpha clones to such a state that they have already cashed in billions, if not trillions of ISK thanks to this monumental f*ckup. Does it inject ISK into the economy? No. Is it fair? No. No-one complaining about Fanfest attendees getting a gift that happens to be worth a few hundred million or a billion. What happened here is that one person was given so many 'rare' ships that they got a cash injection of close to a trillion ISK as a direct result of CCP's actions.
If CCP refuses to see how this is a problem, god help us all.
So yes, put some effort into fixing this and
1. Remove all CONCORD ships that were given out from the game.
2. Revert every single transaction that involved one of those ships.
3. Then give them out again, once per ticket. As it should have been done in the first place.
4. And if that makes them 'too rare' just seed them into the game via alternative means.
But the situation as it currently stands is completely unacceptable.

It's not an isk faucet though. People get these ships -> sell them (Isk is actually removed from the game through fees.) And isk is redistributed. |

I'm always amazed at how people get ticked off at some inconsequential thing then they get further ticked off at the people who aren't ticked off. You think I don't know all the stuff you just posted?
People are acting like CCP shot their dog or something. Ghost training, Rogue swarm, rebalance efforts, now fanfest ships. Is this International "1st world problems" month or something? If you don't like what CCP is doing just stop paying them.

Watching fanbois impotently rage against a game they cannot bring themselves to quit because of their massive sunken cost syndrome (a result of a quite foolish and improvident decision of making a "hobby" out of a single product) is quite entertaining. Possibly the best entertainment left in this game. |

The exploit was the ghost training.
Which was why they had all the accounts.
Which was why they got so many ships. |

Having multiple accounts was never against the rules though, i could have created dozens of trial accounts throughout the last 13 years and still got loads of the ships, at the end of the day the reason for owning multiple accounts is irrelevant here, this distribution is correct and CCP have stated that officially, there is nothing more this thread can accomplish |

After previously stating "In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of CCP Games, attendees will also be able to get their hands on decommissioned CONCORD vessels as part of Fanfest ticket packages this year.
Every purchase of a Fanfest 2017 ticket will include the issue of a CONCORD Pacifier class frigate, and those who purchase their tickets before January 1st 2017 will also be able to get their hands on a decommissioned Enforcer class CONCORD cruiser."
The operative word being Ticket Package, no mention of per account held. Literally throwing 100's of ships at people which are currently trading at over 1b isk each, just a wekk after coming out with theres too much isk ingame, being held by too few players smacks of utter stupidity and no thinking going into the impact of their decisions.

I disagree, Most people who play EVE don't post on forums, read reddit or attend fanfest. A subset of these people quitting just isn't a big deal. The benefit would be less complaining on forums/and reddit...
The truth is that the people making the most noise never really quit even though they threaten to. people who quit do so quietly and usually because they are tired of the game. The people being super vocal about everything are actually trying to influence CCP, they are too invested to quit.
Which is why CCP mostly ignores all of this. They see people hit unsubscribe but they see the same people rescind their quit before it takes effect. They watch the PLEX money keep rolling in. That see the in game activity metrics stay the same.
In other words they know the vocal folks are bluffing. CCP had it's most profitable year last year, a bunch of hurf blurfing online isn't going to change anything.

i think ccp has been doing quite well, I am fine with plex and sp boosters etc, but this last week has been crasy.
i mean they turned of my skill training, on a payed account. I still don't know how long my account wasn't training. This isn't normal. |

Satisfying as it is to throw that in the faces of everyone who defended it in this thread, a "reprimand" is hardly adequate to address the impact it had on the game. And it only serves to encourage players to take maximum advantage of future exploits before they're officially declared as such - common sense be damned. |

I just saw that, and you can find people who have had 'farms' going complaining already.
To me it's like rorquals and supercarriers and people injecting to get into them. People have to know by now that CCP eventually comes down on stuff like that, but they still go after it, invest time into it, and complain when the inevitable nerf or exploit notification comes.
I've seen it my entire EVE career starting with the folks who complained when CCP fixed the high sec lvl 5 mission bug that "CCP just moved lvl 5s to low sec so that people will go there to do them, lose ships and have to buy PLEX/GTC!!". |

Can you please clarify what this response? Players can still skill inject int these skills to fly these ships. That is not an exploit. I thought it was a game mechanic. |

And this article published yesterday says its per account registered to the email used, all it does is expand on the original wording, they never stated it was a single package per ticket nor that it didn't include all accounts owned by the person buying the ticket, you assumed one thing and they did a different thing |

Yes, A pacifier, and each account got only a single pacifier, they never clearly stated that it was 1 per person anywhere, i mean, you're telling me i didn't read it when you're interpreting it one way when CCP did it another :P |

Reading is really not your strong point is it.
Every purchase of a Fanfest 2017 ticket will include the issue of a CONCORD Pacifier class frigate, and those who purchase their tickets before January 1st 2017 will also be able to get their hands on a decommissioned Enforcer class CONCORD cruiser.
In simple terms, purchase a fanfest ticket, get A Pacifier class frigate, purchase by a certain date and get A enforcer class cruiser.
In the English language, A refers to one, not multiples. Nothing assumed in there, its on the Eve News Article

Skill injecting isn't an exploit. It's just dumb how people rush into the 'next big thing' that's supposed to make isk without understand that CCP WILL eventually hammer it down, whether it's an exploit (ghost training) or something that isn't an exploit but is unbalanced.
Examples that were not exploits per se but that people complained about when CCP knowed them down:
High sec lvl 5 missions (was a bug, CCP took like 2 years to fix)
The original 250 mil per hour incursions (CCP nerfed after a couple month, then partially unnerfed a few months later)
The 2nd iteration of FW missions that let people make billions the 1st week (they nerfed these but you can still make lots of LP)
With skill injectors people jump whenever they hear of something that sounds lucrative, and this amplifies the problem. CCP used to have months before imbalances became painful, that has turned into days now... |
