I can't help feeling that a message like that to everyone who wasn't compliant BEFORE they were kicked would have saved a lot of hassle.

I can't help feeling that if you had even a modicrum of engagement on the forums, jabber, firesides or any of the avenues of communication including this thread that ESI purges would be coming ~soon~ you would have fixed your poo poo.

For two months we said it would be coming. For two months you picked lint out of your navel.

So not a lot of sympathy here.

tbf everyone who is like "this is dumb why would i ever have to do this" is 100% correct but it's ccp who insisted that all the old apis have to go because eve just ever so desperately needed a third kind of api to match the current hotness because apparently using last year's apis is just as shameful as last year's fashion, and because it would be a lot of work for ccp to maintain different sets of apis they're making everyone ever who made any third party app in a game that demands a veritable EVE Office Suite of tools for any task whatsoever redo everything instead.

Well they did email every individual after they were kicked, so it was an easy option.
And given a majority of people now have to reapply it suggests pings aren’t that effective.

You’d think someone would’ve thought, hey, 3000 still not compliant, is there any other way we can communicate this to save ourselves a lot of work? Eve mail, Forum PM, even changing this threads title would all have probably reduced that number.

I’ll wait a week, reapply and wait some more while the auth team process thousands of applications. If that’s things working as intended, fair enough.

Every day at work, I look people in the eye and say very clearly "You pay for this rental item when you return. You have not paid for anything yet."

Every day at work, I look people in the eye while they say with a slack jaw and vacant expression "But I already paid for this."

So no, we were just not paying attention.

We'll see how long it is until it gets fixed. I've lost jabber again.



Also I just turned off any sound related to jabber notifications. If the icon on the task bar is solid yellow it was probably DirectorBot. If it's blinking someone is probably direct messaging me :shrug:

"goonwaffe" != "goonswarm federation"

GSF itself has only lost about 10% of its members overall, with the largest number of them being from waffe, a corporation that had, until recently, been left to rot on the vine like some sort of goony fruit

so clearly the message has been received fairly well amongst the Actually Active portion of the alliance

Just how much loving hand holding do you personally require from unpaid volunteers doing a thankless job?

If you can't be bothered to check forums, jabber or even show up for a fireside then you ought to be quiet and be thankful they're letting us idiots rejoin. Own your poo poo you useless sack of gently caress.

Edit: b4 Maneck points it out. I was purged too. My fault, no one else's.

You're asking that about eve goons, who basically created a space empire lead by unpaid volunteers*, to herd a bunch of drunk/stoned non-instruction-reading cats into pre-approved ship fits so that they could all press F1 to explode a target? :allears:

And there's when the ships were provided and fully constructed or in kits (I remember doing shifts of that for Burn Jita).






* Some who may or may not have had a fever dream of eventually being paid for marketing herding a huge group of cats into games.

Okay a GM got back to me, they are going to move me and a ship someplace. I have my Vexor loaded to the gills, so I was going to maybe go to Jita, sell off what I had, then wait for my GS account stuff to be taken care of before heading back to Delve. That sounds like a good a plan as any I guess?

Just make sure to not undock from jita wearing bee colors unless you want to lose anything you have in that ship.

Okay that's good to know. Is there a better place closer to goon space that I can have them put me? I don't quite understand how/when to get accepted into the corp if it's just going to gently caress me trying to get there.

Edit: Am I right that I shouldn't have him put me in goon space without a goon tag?

Feel free to go to hits if you want. Though you applied to Goonfleet, when you're accepted you have to dock up and hit accept to change over to the gsf tag. Till then you're not a valid target.

highsec =/= safe. All it means is the people who kill you unlawfully will get concord-ed, and being shot by a corp that is at war with GSF means nothing happens at all to them. that little sec status indicator is a false prophet and whispers lies of security to you.

Do all your poo poo you need to do in highsec before hitting "accept" on that invite, then move to the border of goonspace with all your poo poo before accepting the invite. Highsec is inherently unsafe, you have poor intel of what's going on, neutral alts/scouts are everywhere and you can't tell who's out to gently caress your day up until the box goes red, so stay out of it imo.
