The sad reality of this is *ALL* MMOs are like this, Dev's/GM's always have there own pet projects on the side, there is always some kind of bias. Otherwise, fuck CCP, I'm happy to take my money elsewhere. I'm hoping this whole thing isn't true for the sake of the game, but there HAS to be more than a few big-name bans if this stuff is accurate. If the dev really was that high up in BoB, then there was leadership that knew they were getting an unfair advantage. I hated BoB before, but I hated them like most people hate the Yankees. There is playing the game to observe how it works, and then there is playing the game to influence how it works. As does donating a so called "random" lottery's worth of tech 2 BPO's. Yes, but being a BoB Fleet commander (and not just a fleet, thier capatil fleet) influnces the game more than is needed. And I believe the game loses from that - now you have a guy doing his job, instead of a guy living his dream. Would you come back to a game after playing it 4 years to go back to square one? I doubt it. It doesn't matter if they find these guys guilty or innocent - for all intents and purposes their characters are deleted and their time in EVE is over. The character is renamed, a fake employment history is made up and he's forbidden to contact any of the guys he kept in touch with while playing the game. He explained exactly what the procedure is - if a dev is found out, he gets to keep his character. Last time this piece of shit Kugutsumen stirred trouble, a dev came out and tried to make people to stop investigating into possible devs. It doesn't really matter at this point tbh. What's on the other side? Well there's only one question - just how much did he help BoB? Wouldn't you be? I know a bunch of guys that started in 2003 - all of them have tens of billions in assets. And he knows a lot more about the game than you and me. However, there's another thing - if he's a dev, chances are he's playing since 2003. I play the game he made, hell, I love the game he made. What do I care if the Sabre I got comes from a BPO that a dev added to himself, so he wouldn't have to grind money? His game, in my eyes he's allowed to do that. Fuck me, they should even get better treatment. If they don't, they shouldn't be working on it. On one hand a dev should definitely play their own game. The little guy might well ask what's the point of playing a highly competitive game like Eve at all if the big dogs get special favours and insider tips. Some people will lose their jobs, some will be banned for misconduct and/or for creating drama instead of quietly petitioning, and that'll be that. The little guy who just joined the game still has no chance to ever get to the level of gameplay that these guys operate at. Take the devs and the BPO's away from BoB, will it diminish their power and influence in any way? Not really. Devs play their own games, nothing new, and no they don't always follow their behavior procedures to the letter.

Only thing this scandel is missing is sex, and it would have the trifecta. He's pure slime, and admits it happily (Kugustumen I mean, Molle may be slime but dosn't admit to it). For those worried about it, the scrapheap challange thread mostly has the story (not the later parts, where you discover that BoB knew about a CCP roleplaying event in 2005(?), or where Kugustumen tries to have himeself bribed by SirMolle for the cost of a Mothership or he'll keep posting. BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HIS BLOG: do not register on it, because he will use it to hack into your fourms/account/eve account/computer/ebay account whatever. The whole story is on Kugutsumen's blog (). This post on Scrapheap Challange () explains it. The original threads were locked, but after a Goonfleet uprising, one was opened here ().īascialy Kugutsumen (eve spy/hacker) has uncovrered evidence that BoB had 1-2 or more CCP devs (not just GMs) in thier allience (one was a cap ship fleet commander, one donated all his tech 2 BPOs) and BoB knew it.
