orange juche posted:T20 mk 2, electric boogaloo? I can't find the source but at least one CCP weenie is flying on the side of the snake coalition. Maybe not openly, but it's really hard to stay objective and not put your finger on the scale for your side if you have the power to. IIRC it was verboten for CCP devs to have alts in big null blocs because of that exact thing after T20. They weren't banned altogether, but it wasn't allowed if anyone outside CCP knew that the character belonged to a dev. Which obviously was quite difficult with all the ESI and background check stuff, so the majority didn't bother. I sort of get that the bubbles were part of the invaders plan so it would be difficult for CCP to say something public about the policy without giving the game away, but people have been complaining about all the mobile depots in Jita and recently they all got cleared out, so they could have made a wider statement on deployables in general. In a similar way, they could have said something public about the boson trap to explain what went wrong and how they're fixing it, instead of a single comment in a twitch stream.

Also, if we are botting, it's some weak-rear end botting poo poo. We could do much, much better... i just don't get who's buying the RMT'd isk; it must be close to worthless at this point?

Stealthgerbil posted:Just imagine what they will do when they realize they would have to camp NPC delve forever to really drive us out. It's one of those, 'they'll never be a real threat' and 'you can't really push people out of NPC Null'. Both sides can be annoying, but home field advantage is huge. Bubble NPC Delve to hell and back, and cyno jam everything in jump range. Who needs FYF when you can make manually going 12 jumps actually hell on earth. Let FCs go ham with covert cynos and bombers (and let people cut their teeth on fcing bombers (if 1b ships are well within SRP, 48m bombers should be a joke).

i would be willing to bet that if goons are somehow evicted from delve the market will crash and burn and RMT'ing will make more sense and be more valuable my  theory is the only reason we're currently being invaded by a coalition of folks who hate each other is related to this

Ya i mean the game population is obviously going down, PLEX is getting cheaper, yet someone somewhere is spending on RMT I guess computing power has gotten cheap enough though that anyone can run dozens of alphabots, so just stack a few systems with them and feed isk/injectors to your main

God why do I bother. DGC, do you not get that what you did was considered previously an exploit that any mid to large size alliance knew about? The fact CCP has said it so in the past (and suspended people) and then privately said gently caress it go for it and failed to tell anyone about the roll back of their old code of conduct. The fact you also had upwards of 800 probes out is super suspect. I highly doubt you had 120 people out for probing. Also just loving lol that sabres we bubbling in the the bubbles. Just in case right? If you only had anchored bubbles up and a normal amount of probes out and not every sabre making GBS threads out bubbles within bubbles then maybe people might be just ahh well, well played. Nice meta. Well done. But stop acting innocent and doing word play poo poo.
