They still never addressed why BoB are the only alliance allowed to have personal contact with the Devs and GMs. Could have something to do with half of CCP being in BoB.
This is my personal view and is not an official stance by CCP:
Well actually I think there are at least just as many CCP employees that are or have been in other alliances. I know of a few at least here in house that were in other alliances but I won't name any names.
Personally I have never been affiliated with Bob, and if I ever found out that someone inhouse was helping Bob out in any illegal way I'd slap him/her silly. Fortunately our actions are logged and we have a team devoted to keeping the server cheat free, whether the culprit is a CCP employee or someone else.
There is only one valid case of cheating involving a CCP employee that I know about, which happened a long time ago now, which was dealt with by CCP, it was not pushed under the rug. Believe it or not the management here do not play Eve in any alliance and are quite fanatical about maintaining a clean, level playing field in our universe.
I just think BOB contacts whit the Dev's has been greatly exaggerated, we all know how the forum works and how things easy get blowned out of proportions here.
I would say Bob's contacts whit the dev's are just of the same kind that every dedicated player could get, (or could get, i dont know after all this drama)
Since the dev's has always had a open relation to the community and it hasnt exactly been hard to make contact whit them if you are a dedicated player,
and in my personal opinion this has been one of thoose things that has been so wonderfull whit this game, i havnt been to any other where this has been possible.
In the past you could easy just jump on the EVE irc channels and say hi to one of them,
or go to the fanfest and get drunk toghter whit them.
and if your in ISD (wich is a volunteer program for thoose who dont know wich every player that has the will could aply to) you will probably have one or two of them on your MSN contact list aswell
And yea, since bob are very dedicated players i belive they got contacts whit the dev's, but not exacly a red line directly into their office, only the same kind of contact that any of us could get, or could have got. (thank you very much goonies)
