I'm making my foray into eve finally, is it worth applying to GoonWaffe?

Edit: I guess I've been playing for a while, not really "finally"

So PL being declared winner of the AT is like if the NFL declared Green Bay the super bowl winner because of deflate gate?

If so please make CCP the next commissioner of the NFL tia.

This is how e-honor made a bad joke for Camel and Warlords.
I believe if it was not initially revealed by one of the members who felt too bad about this situation, CCP would not made investigation. But community wanted to burn someone very badly.

It was mostly because Hydra did the same thing last year, smugged really hard about it, did it again and got sloppy enough to piss off someone who had the info on the collusion.

Also watching CCP Fozzie come out on FHC to dunk Bob Shaftoes tonight was funny.

There wasn't that much outrage, and most people besides some in PL -- who kept throwing rocks because they had something to gain -- had pretty much moved on by now. This was a CCP decision, not a reaction to community demands.

And yeah, without an insider info dump it wouldn't have happened. The rigging was deniable enough without that. I think the guys in charge of the two teams were super dumb to let their pilots know they were going to 100% throw the match. Select some one-sided comps, tell your guys afterward you didn't try your hardest because the other team needed the win more, anything to make them feel better. Just from a blackmail perspective, the idea that you'd give your pilots that kind of leverage is a terrible idea. And when one of them has an actual conscience over it you're just screwed.


The real story is that CCP thinks streaming and the AT can push interest in Eve for people outside the game. So they're gonna try to make the AT into something that's not really Eve anymore, a part of the game that's fair competition and free of metagaming. Which I think is pretty dumb because the AT is un-ficking-watchable to someone who isn't already into the game. It's really inside baseball.

I play Eve and even I consider the AT hard to watch. I have no idea what's going on most of the time. I have to rely on the commentators. I tend to just read the results.

I scooped the loot from the Aeon when it died, and stowed it away in a mobile depot. I came back in an instawarp interceptor and carried it back to jita while trash talking in local the whole way.

I pointed this out to CCP and they seemingly don't see the issue, believing that there are people who will consider Eve an eSport if they just try hard enough. Despite this there's not a sub-spike around the ATs so I don't know what metrics they go on; maybe it inspires unsubscribed players to come back?

It has zero hallmarks of a good eSport, principally that it is impossible to tell what is going on by watching the action on screen.
e: The other criminal problem with that as a marketing concept is that the experience on-screen can in no-way be replicated ingame, whereas with every Moba / SC clone you can actually do what you see on screen on an amateur level.

Didn't waste any time with that one- No coffee so I delta echo'd a response thinking PL was getting ganked and not the gankees.

Expected MiniLuv shenanigans, got bored PL freighter ganks instead. Not sure how to feel about that.

It's free download - host software for the PC and an app for whatever phone/tablet you have. Dunno if there's any costs or hardware needed further down the track. And now I'll stop spruiking for a product I don't own or use :v:

Note the MWDing away from his fleet (and reps), not finishing the cyno inhib off, and capping himself out with his local rep on his Aeon. Oh and the DCUs in the CHA. Theres more poo poo I'm sure people will notice but those are the worst parts.
