Additions to the List of Perpetual Ignorage
Posted by: Remi in Planet Nintendu 64, RealityWell, I’ve just added two companies to my “list of perpetual ignorage”.
I can’t stomach the way that CCP has dealt with it’s customer base over the entire t20 cheating scandal, although shockingly it isn’t particularly different than how they have handled things in the past, when I look at it. Perhaps I just needed something big enough for me to sit up and say “Wow. That is so not cool.”
Extremely unfortunately, that means that White Wolf gets added to the pile as well, thanks to their merger with CCP. Which is too bad, because I really like their systems, and they have in no way annoyed me, other than their merger with CCP.
For anyone thinking of playing EVE Online, I urge you to reconsider. There are any number of things that are wrong with the game, and I could go into an exhaustive list, but I will not bore you. The thing that matters most is that if you really want to feel like a completely contemptible human being that is not deserving of honesty or attention, then go to a 24-hour convenience store and take a really, really long time to pay (count those pennies!) right before the poor clerk’s break, so that you are actually eating into their break. Afterwards, voila! You have just dealt with CCP, only it was short — it doesn’t drag on and on — and best of all you don’t have a subscription to that convenience store or clerk. You can go to another one, elsewhere.
It was probably also cheaper, and you have something to show for it.

White Wolf and CCP merged. They are now one and the same.

Ah I see, I thought your ignore list was just white-wolf and CCP, pretty short I say.

There’s one other that I didn’t mention because it was a prior inhabitant: anything by George Lucas. Still, that is only three things — I believe that it lends weight to the list to reserve it for the really outstanding offenders.

Just a few examples of how CCP customer service is the worst:

Then there’s also the NON-exploit of wardeccing and instantly retracting, allowing you to attack in empire without having to wait 24 hours.

Haha go CCP. Of course, now I find it funny only because I no longer have to deal with the shadowy, cretinous company.
Though that last one makes sense — I have first-hand knowledge (i.e. a GM, a _senior_ one, said it right to me) that “any actions within a war declaration are not in violation of the TOS”. They meant it within the context of griefing, etc., but I can easily see how a company that would make that their policy in the first place would allow extensions to it in the aforementioned direction.
So, the lesson stands: play something else.

Hehehe. CCP hits another home run. The best part is the AC in the slashdot comments that posted IRC text supporting the accusations.
Poor, poor Kuera. When are you going to play WoW anyway? We are on “Area 52″.
