CCP will continue to lie, cheat, and STEAL your money only if you are willing to PAY them for that privilege…be a sheeple and pay to be exploited…

Get a clue and stop supporting corruption.

alegations are false! they must be, CCP said so, and they are the organisation doing the investigating AND the organisation being acused, so they should know! yes, i know i use too many commas, i just like them. ,!

Ok, so I leave for 2 weeks on vacation and all hell brakes loose and the shit hits the fan. Holy crap!

Having read the devblog and GoonFleet`s response, I’ve got to agree the that CCP needs to put in place processes that will ensure that at the very least the perception of, dare I say, corruption is illiminated, and that any possibilities for corruption are removed or delt with in an immediate manner.

It’ll be interesting to see how this unfolds.

Julian – you just described in depth what I left to my last sentence. I’m not familiar enough with the EVE scandals to really go into depth.

I fully agree with your standpoint. Work accounts should be for work, not play. Devs who want to play should be doing so on standard player accounts.

Search for “eleuthereus” on eve-search if you want to read a large very well written insider’s report on GoonSwarm.

As for devs in the game, it enables them to love it. You can’t QA soul.

Alex: Agreed…. halfway.

One thing are devs as regular joes, playing their games from normal vanilla accounts when they get home (which is good, and lets them experience the game from the player side) and another is what these guys are doing.

“Barring CCP employees from the game would effectively stop EVE in its tracks.” is still hogwashy because many, many other games manage to keep their devs separate, or at least ensure they play the game normally, and their games don’t collapse or become suddenly un-fun. Even that assertion was ridiculous and way more threatening than it should be. Stop in its tracks? Particularly a game like EVE that’s all player-driven?

The problem here is that CCP wants to keep this going as is, business as usual, which was bad back in the middle of the T20 issue and is bad now. At this point it’s pretty obvious that it’s not that they *can’t* separate their devs from the game – they just don’t want to. Otherwise I can’t explain the tone and the piles of stupidity in that last devblog.

Don’t think I can sum it up better than how I saw it in some post elsewhere: The problem with CCP is that it’s not a company, it’s a LAN party.
