Originally by: skippy skippora Yet now I apparently have a 1% chance of getting my belongings back. How is this fair? the only reason I ask this big question is this. I have been a player here since June of 06 and run 3 accounts. I know what it means to lose expensive things because I have but not like this. I fear I will end up leaving if it means I lose my belongings for good. So EVE community, what do i do now?
Sincerely,
Skip
Move on.
You have a 1% chance of getting your stuff back because 99% of eve admins don't read petitions. They have a heap of form letters that they send out which are tailored to the subject you filed your request under. I don't file petitions anymore but back when I used to I would intentionally mis-file them to see if they were paying attention. They weren't.
The form letters are customized by each indevidual admin so far as I can tell. Some are as general as possible
'We are investigating your problem and will contact you if anything changes although we can not currently validate your claim, good day.'
I got that about four years ago when I petitioned with the words 'Help! I'm in space!'
Ah good times. Eve admins are FAMOUS for this sort of thing and I would recomend you not to push them. I can tell you from experience that if you find a way to force them to speak to you, they get real real spiteful.
TBH this is one of the things I like about eve online. The game itself is designed to be infinitely hard. From tutorials to economics. From useless ships that cost billions to nano-phoons that can solo capital fleets. Eve has seen it all. There is a specific type of player that plays Eve and I am quite serious about this. We are the people that have found all other games to be a little too easy and crave something which is impossibly hard.
Non-consenual pvp, sudden inexplicable nerfs, node crashes, rolling lag, abusive admins, rampant CCP corruption and peroidic patches which drastically change the rules of the game all in the name of bringing Eve closer to 'The way it was meant to be played!'
This is what keeps us coming back. There are a lot of people that have left because they couldn't handle it but that only makes us more determined to succeed. It's the improbability of success. We're masocists and we're hooked on EVE. Join us.
