    Default Dev Players And The Action Taken, Or Lack Thereof, buncha CCP bullshit

    gonna paste the mod post below


    Problems I have with this:

    1. no names were admitted as to the characters involved. This should have been a public fucking execution of the people who knowingly stuck a large cock in every orifrice of every honest eve player.
    2. no assurance given that BOB will no longer have access to privilaged information
    3. removing the seemingly limited number of characters alluded to will not keep the afortamentioned info out of BOB hands
    4. No action alluded to or taken to remove all the T2 BPO's BOB received via GM intervention and/or hacks and exploits
    5. such as no access to Tranquility or special flagging on a developer’s player character -- would greatly hinder the development of EVE.
    THIS IS BULLSHIT AND WILL ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE
    6. WHY THE FUCK WERE THESE PEOPLE NOT FIRED??!!
    7. like an american political candidate, what they said was designed to piss off the fewest number of people and will result in virtually zero constructive action
    8. They got away with it and will continue to do so. No one will defeat BOB with this sickening amount of dev intervention(AKA unexplained lag, sploits, and all that rubbish). I am seriously considering removing my eve account due to the fact that no one has or will ever have a level playing field

    Our goal is to provide the best possible game, gaming experience and development process possible. In light of that, we would like to address the recent allegations of CCP employee misconduct. CCP has taken these charges very seriously and since they surfaced we have launched a thorough investigation consisting of an examination of character histories ranging back to their creation as well as into any connected characters owned by the developers involved. This examination was performed by the same internal division which is also tasked with standard periodic audits of all developer and volunteer accounts. Areas of investigation include, but are not limited to: messaging history, financial and transactional history, combat and corporation logs, item and cash transfers and IP logs.

    As for the allegations themselves, they consist of two parts. The first part involved a case that happened seven months ago when a CCP employee’s identity became public knowledge within his corporation. Per company policy, the incident was investigated and actions taken where appropriate, including the removal of characters whose identities were compromised.

    The second part of the accusations stem from a leak of information pertaining to an in-game event arc. Due to the amount of time that has passed since the planning and execution of the event arc, we have not been able to confirm nor deny the veracity of these allegations.

    In both cases, these accusations were recently brought forward when a player revealed the identity of numerous CCP employee characters. Since these play characters are known to belong to CCP employees, they will be removed from the game. Many of them have been around since the creation of EVE and it is most unfortunate that these developers are now forced to end their relationships with their in-game friends, but that is our policy when the anonymity of staff members has been compromised.

    Last summer, CCP implemented stricter monitoring procedures and audits on all CCP employees’ EVE accounts. We are confident that our rigid procedures and protocol will prevent any misconduct or, at least, allow us to quickly discover it, should such an unfortunate scenario arise.

    As the community knows well, we at CCP enjoy not only playing EVE Online, but improving EVE and interacting with our playerbase. We feel EVE benefits from the developers playing EVE as any other members of the community do, and to impose artificial limitations -- such as no access to Tranquility or special flagging on a developer’s player character -- would greatly hinder the development of EVE.

    CCP is very passionate about EVE Online and is committed to its continued growth. We hope that this statement will put this issue behind us once and for all and allow us to continue moving forward with the support of our community.

    I'm constantly refreshing that thread and it would be several pages longer now if not for the constant post deletion.

    That's right, deletion, not editing-out.

    Kieron,

    Since people fail to have reading comprehension 101, could you please state, if ANY wrongdoings at all were found?


    As for the rest of you lot,

    We play the game on a high level, we have a high profile, this isnt the first accusations of cheat, hax, and god knows what else that has been flung at us. The tinfoil hattery is amazing, i know that you would love for us all to be framed for some conspiracy. Since we are all still here, all the accusations are totally baseless.

    There will be devs in every alliance in the game, and i for one, do not wanna know who is a dev or not, i want them to be in the middle of everything, from lowlevel gaming, to highlevel gaming, so that they see the issues we all face, from day to day.

    Face it, you love the drama and the conspiracy theories, and thats all there is, drama and conspiracy theories.

    Its the same problem with the game lots, as CCP dont do any kind of auth on the logs there is no way to authenticat them.

    A simple md5 like hash on each log/killmail would be a nice and simple way for ccp to auth the logs, would make pettitions a lot dam simpler as well.

    as it stands though I guess we are just going to have to deal with it the best we can.

    Now if you search for vincent@ccpgames.com you find posts on french forums as t20.



    t20 was Ishos
    t20 was in charge of RKK Capital Ship Command
    t20 when forced to leave RKK, left 10 T2 BPO behind him.
    t20 witness all the RKK EULA abuse, char resale, etc. (alleged)
    t20 is really close to Oveur and they are often seen together on Sisi in local.

    Quess which dev apparently was the one who created the T2 BPO lottery system in the first place...Yep, I'm one of those who is also closing his account.

    The more RAGoon-friendlies that close their accounts, the less true abuse I have to put up with!

    This is some kind of glorious win/win situation for the honorable space-knights of the new regions and the South.

    Also: [insert standard spiel about GMs/devs in 0.0 being an overall good thing and that there is zero tangible proof of wrongdoing shown thusfar]

    We have determined that we did nothing wrong. Some of our noble heros had their covers blown though, and will be forever banished from the virtual home that we love so much, Eve. One second, I'm overcome with passion.

    k, back.

    Anyway, aside from Kugutsumen going Scooter Libby on our passionate devs, nobody did anything wrong, but our dev characters are paying the ultimate price. We will have them start infiltrating again asap as we cannot contain their passion, and advise that they stick to voicecoms in the future.

    ps I think you're all retards and keep sending us your cash tia.
    Hmm, pretty weak. Not "cancel my accounts" bad, but very Sony-esque, and CCP is a little small to be going soulless.

    I mean, cry me a fucking river for your employees that couldn't keep their mouths shut. And don't try to pin it on passion when you come out after a couple days of "investigation" with a calculated response that makes me yearn for the sincerity of Scott McClellan.

    try having a community burning your alliance at the stake because of unproven allegations towards < 5 members.
    The irony is strong with this one.

    Also this has probably been the largest instance of devs being so oblivious to the issues in their game since "Lets ban everyone with duped money" and "Teleport the Dissenters to space"

    First, no hacking was made anywhere that concerns CCP. CCP has no right to punish someone for hacking a forum over which they have no ownership. As far as I know they banned him for disclosing personal information here. Which is inside their right but the same should be applied to Molle for fairness sake.

    Second, the means are not more important than the infraction. Sorry, but private forum infiltration and hacking are exactly the same in my view. They are just two different means to accomplish a dirty work.

    in most countries computer laws pretexting(getting access through impersonation and deception) have the same punishment scale and is regarded as hacking in the eyes of the law.

    Yeah I was basically shouting it over and over and so was my roomate, I think the only time anyone replied to it they just posted a rolleyes and made some vague statement about how hacking is against the law. Then I had an anyeurism
