Being honest with them is necessary, but devs aren't player friends, they are the high potentates of their worlds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-59571735466225615352011-06-27T22:06:12.308+01:002011-06-27T22:06:12.308+01:00Just bear in mind that this is a company that tell...Just bear in mind that this is a company that tells its fans to harden the fuck up.<br /><br />My point really is a linguistic one. If one side is being professional and one side is saying diaf that's not fair. But CCP has a huge cross over with the player base. They recruit staff from the player base. Staff who leave often play and remain active and high profile in the community.<br /><br />Possibly the lesson is don't try to act as if you're one of the boys with your players, you are the umpire, the judge, the arbitrator and the tyrant.Stabshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716211705647213383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-23531054783264857002011-06-27T18:18:15.568+01:002011-06-27T18:18:15.568+01:00Gah! that should be 'Enforced *if* necessary&#...Gah! that should be 'Enforced *if* necessary'.Mike ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/01018279317001118437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829401646612727780.post-75800137328474766562011-06-27T18:17:03.814+01:002011-06-27T18:17:03.814+01:00Can't agree with you here.

If Helicity had just let it go it would have worked out, but he wouldn't.<br /><br />Frankly my opinion would be that HB was too wrapped up in the game. He himself indicates this. Probably time to take a break.

Seems unfair to single a couple of people out, plus there's the suggestion that he's not banned for his nerd rage he's banned for publicising an embarassing document.<br /><br />Last night people staged a protest by entering the Jita hub en masse. Normally it has about 1500.
