Well, they _can_ afford to fly them because they have a get-out-of-jail-free card.

It’s an issue because they’re not supposed to use that power against the regular players and had I known that they couldn’t be trusted with that power I would’ve never started playing, ever.

Narh, he scared of losing it. Why else save it instead of letting it die in a glorious ball of fire?

In a true EVE players mind, that ship was already gone the minute he undocked.

Basically, he still failed at one of the most core rules of EVE. Since it’s staff involved… That says something about CCP’s ability to understand their own game.

If it was Vexier at the helm of that Erebus, those HIC’s and that Aeon would be dead.

Either that or something about how poorly trained the GM’s are.

Don’t they get a course on what and what not to do when they started? Who knows…

Yeah my point is then they shouldnt be allowed to fly or have accounts PERIOD.

The idea that human beings can actually be trusted not to use powers given to them because its “wrong” or “unfair” is laughably naive.

CCP GM’s are only allowed to spawn ships in RP related events. They are not allowed to spawn ships for their own fun. That Erebus must have been an inherited one from the days they were players. So no wonder he didn’t want to lose it. That is why he was flying it in high-sec in the first place.

I don’t understand the issue, you all liked it when they magically moved supercap botters into high sec for you to shoot.

Where was your outcry about “misuse of powers” there?

If it was Adrian Vexer at the helm I would have scanned his fit with my main and Tipa would have murdered his Erebus in the most humiliating way possible. 😏 😈 🍿

If it was Adrian Vexier at the helm he would have changed the Erebus into a Nereus and memed that Aeon on zkillboard in front of that whole HIC fleet. 😂
