Don’t get the point of the first one. Are you concerned that CSM and developers might communicate?
As for the second, I think that’s a somewhat bizarre restriction. In particular, I think (from my own experience) that participating in tournaments would be a unique learning opportunity for developers that would expose them to subtle gameplay that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the game.
- Note that that doesn’t mean flying in the tournament, but even participating in the preparation, etc. would be valuable. I agree that developers shouldn’t be collecting prizes from CCP, for example.
Much of the point was to deal with the fact that the strict anonymity requirements kind of sucked the air out of Eve gameplay for the developers who played the game under the prior rules. The consequences for being outed accidentally were the kind of thing that would be highly disruptive to gameplay.
Today, under the new rules, I can have confidence that my character’s been vetted to go public and I don’t have to tell a soul, but if someone finds out somehow, it’ll be no problem.
