Here in the prestigious Center for Advanced studies, for new characters, our doors are always open… literally.
And, probably one of the best places to see exactly what questions and points of confusion we get from newbros on a daily basis, as we get them as fresh as they come.
Just wanted to link this thread for Dev’s that are interested in joining a null sec community without actually joining a player Corp / Alliance.
Oh? There are wormholers there?
Games throughout the past four decades have had devs in clans/guilds that have been “accidentally” outed. So what? The sky has never fallen, the player base has never left in droves, and a game has never folded because 5 or 6 members of a guild turned out to be CS or GMs or Devs.
If you want my opinions (because that’s what they are, informed or not), you’re welcome to PM me. I’m not unhappy that CCP devs now have a freedom they should always have had, but imho, CCP’s just made a big deal out of “nothing” in the industry – nothing, that is, if you manage player perception appropriately rather than your just your own.
These changes are only notable in the Eve community because of the history regarding these rules and how they came to be in the first place. Twelve years ago CCP was a young company lacking internal controls and it caused serious problems that some people today still remember vividly. This is just part of the process of moving on from that.
Beyond that, I agree, it’s not really a big deal.
It’s not about politics. It’s about doing favors for friends, whether those favors are material (as the aforementioned T20 incident), informational, or preferential treatment in behind-the-scenes decisions to which the rest of us will never be privy.
Frankly, I think you should go a step further and actually publish the names of CCP employees’ characters for maximum transparency.
Would now be a good time to request a policy change on being so stingy with snowballs and fireworks at this festive time?
Wouldn’t that invite wardecs, ganks and other miscellaneous activities against them, making it so they couldn’t actually play?
NOoooooo! I hide in the sun when I am Ninja Looting! LOL
Would it be fun to create a Devs Only corp as an enemy faction in game so we can hunt them down to vent frustration?
Lmao like y’all need some arbitrary reason to harass and persecute a group of players.
I dont understand the purpose of this.
Is it to normalise the complicity ?
Maybe CCP can create some really thick Gas Clouds that visually hide ships as well as negate their transponder signals.
Something similar to this Hidden Smuggler’s Training Facility.
I imagine end of year bonus for dev team is given in plex or isk 
of them changing the policy?
I think its a great idea.
@CCP_Darwin I would love to fly with any of you guys/gals.
And if your organisation is on the approved list, Im sure you will 
I hope devs will spill the beans. Inadvertently. I like reading about those dramas.
“So uh, a developer has, well, developed a gambling addiction due to the HyperNet. So we’re taking that down now.”
But they represent “every major alliance!” Aren’t major alliance folks always looking for “gudfights” and other such nonsense?
Seems to me that the players should know which devs jump on the sociopathic bully bandwagon to harass the comparatively defenseless. If the devs want to participate with folks whose agenda is to ruin the game for others who are orders of magnitude weaker than themselves, then paying customers should know which devs are involved.
I only have 1 question, do developers have any kind of mechanics and game priviledges such as in know who ur alts are, or know where u are exactly and/or any other kind of non normal players mechanics for their advantage?
yes
no
?
