If only they could… just… i dunno, dock up forever. Also, Goons et al are proof that there are no real qualifications to be on CSM beyond having enough F1 CTA Forum Monkeys with 25 alt accounts. The CSM has been a joke since it started. Just eliminate the CSM altogether. The only player-group that will ever cause real change will be a player-created group that can actually persuade the majority of players to keep subbed unless XYZ is changed or to unsub en mass if demands are not met. THAT would be the ultimate player input. The CSM is a thinly veiled facade that accomplishes ZERO that CCP has by the balls. ---

How do you “mistakingly” say you are 20, and not 28?? i’ve never been so nervous i say the wrong age, especially that much difference. she should have been banned from the game, for the obvious hacking of the game since she can make her whole profile disappear. ---

> [@Jared\_Danton](#): > > How do you know she is actually going to biomass, maybe she is just trolling. Her RP reputation (the core of her vanity aka existence) would be devastated if she went back on her word - and it would be extremely cheesy for all of a sudden for her to become a capsuleer RP-wise just to survive this; I would imagine there would be an equal loss of respect. > [@Scoots\_Choco](#): > > lmao, i’ll personally deliver 5b to the killer upon proof of biomass I’ll add you to the pool 😉 . Proof of biomass = pull up bio and see if char is in Doomheim corp. > [@Komi\_Valentine](#): > > To clarify this: I’ve reported the bug, and I cannot change my profile back. So what should I do? Stop playing? What you should NOT have done was turn it into a publicity stunt. You can’t change your profile back? Okay, that’s understandable. But advertising to get attention for yourself?

Discovering the exploit itself isn’t a problem and the inability to revert is understandable, the problem was using it as a publicity stunt/bribing CCP: that’s reprehensible. The Trump-level egomania and self-promotion of RP persona with zero actual platform, literally not a single concrete detail of how to improve the game outside of aesthetic improvements (hairstyles!) is also a problem (“I’ll take surveys of what people want” doesn’t count). ---

> [@Lauralite\_Anne\_Brezia](#): > > it wasn’t hacking of anything While I acknowledge this position and agree with you per my following post, I do, however, want to point out the following: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/6/1/61c6652b011818ecc16ede35eb521489921f2995.png) So even if this was 100% RP, the fact of the matter is that 1. it was a publicity stunt (pure vanity) 2. it was bribing CCP (even if it wasn’t serious, it was still a vanity publicity stunt) 3. Komi’s refusal to ever go out of character for a millisecond means she never took the opportunity to clarify what did and did not actually occur, so there is zero fault on anyone for making not-unreasonable assumptions as to what did or did not happen. The talk show interview hardly compensates for the lack of OOC since not everyone will listen to it and most of what happens in and around the game happens in writing (including the campaign and CSM itself). ---

Honestly, this could all have been avoided by Komi dropping his dumb roleplay and submitting a bug report because his in-game character Info sheet bugged out. But since he wants to run with it as if he’s some kind of hacker, hope he enjoys the bounty. ---
