Edited by: Spades Slick on 14/07/2010 18:14:52 I'm not trying to grandstand in this thread.
I'm not looking to try to rock the boat.
I would prefer if the EVE players themselves kept themselves from trolling, or insulting CCP, or questioning their business practices, or WHATEVER. Please, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it.
I just would like to ask a very simple question, out of curiosity, of the CCP forum lurkers (Fallout, Zymur, Storm, anyone else; bring the other CCP members from other parts of the forum if you must), but please: Do you guys play EVE?
I don't mean bug testing, I don't mean programming, I mean: do you guys ever legitimately, in your free time or in the office, just play EVE like the rest of us?
Not trying to make a point, I just want to try to get a definitive answer on one of the raging questions, which is whether you guys even enjoy the product you make, or if the disconnect has grown so large that you no longer feel comfortable spending time playing with us (with incidents like T20, it's understandable, but I at least trust that you guys won't pull stunts like that again).
For players, please don't post anything goading CCP, or bashing them, or giving them any crap, either before or after (hopefully) they post their answer(s). Let's just try to keep this civil and dignified.

Nope, thats why all the money we give them is going to make garbage like DUST instead of fixing things. They want MOAR SHOOTER PEW!

I specifically asked for comments like this to be avoided.
Seriously, you wanna go bash CCP, there's a dozen other threads to do so, and be on-topic.
I'm not trying to defend their honor or anything, I just don't want this thread to derail into "omg ccp sucks because of x, y, and z". Again, there are at least a dozen I could name for you where the thread has turned into a CCP-attacking threadnaught.
Not here, please.
EDIT: And I think many other people agree with me that this thread is better left as just a simple inquiry, judging by 60 views in maybe 5 minutes. Even counting repeats (who would look at this thread again?), that's a goodly number in such a short time.
People are probably just as curious as I am.

If I was a mod, I wouldn't touch this thread with a 10 foot pole.
- CCP employee says that he does play Eve = He/She gets accused of being a cheater and abusing inside knowledge or capabilities OR he/she just gets blown off as "not playing the same way the rest of us play" OR told that he/she should be working more instead of playing video games.
- CCP employee says that he does not play Eve = He/She gets accused of being out of touch and knowing nothing about the very game he/she is supposed to be working on.
This question has no safe answer. ----- My Blog |

Hell yeah I play EVE. I've been addicted since 2006. One of the reasons I came to CCP was because Fallout threatened me with bodily harm if I didn't, er I mean because I love playing the game . I usually spend a few hours after dinner in front of the PC probing down exploration sites or running through low sec running away from fights I go there to find.

And lo, we have an answer.
Thanks, Zymurgist, for fielding what's proven (from various forum threads mentioning it) to be a delicate/loaded question.

I would imagine they all enjoyed Eve at some point, but it wouldn't surprise me if a few of them moved on with their interests but still work for CCP.

I would be suprised if they play... well at least most of them. Every job turns boring at some point so you'll try to spend your free time as far away of it as possible.

I've been playing EVE since before boot.ini.
If you do Twitter (@CCP_Fallout) you can see me sometimes mention some of the stupid things I do. Because I'm a complete idiot.
I suck at ship fittings, so I usually go to Zym and Nav for tips or check BC or our forums for ideas.
A few months ago I decided to start a completely fresh character and did all the tutorials. Before that, I was mission running and mining, but now I do mostly exploration, and I complete admit I'm still terrified of the idea of Sleepers, so I've not explored WH space.
I'm also a well-known carebear, however, I'm not anti-PvP, it's just in EVE any mistake I make that gets me killed, whether through PvE or PvP means so much, so I tend to hide out in high sec.

Yup, I play. I've been playing since 2003 and never stopped. I do invention/manufacturing, Wormholes, Factional Warfare, missioning, exploration (really depends on the mood). Not very good at any of these though. :)

Been playing since 2004, still am.
Tried many things; piracy, nullsec gruntwork, mission farming, building things and selling them. Currently mostly focused on maintaining a steady production of stuff to keep my wallets full so I can continue losing ships to running into gatecamps while not paying attention.
Been a purebred blaster ship pilot since day one. Can fly other races but never actually do. -------------------------------- Senior GM Spiral EVE Online Customer Support Team |

Hey, hey, people who work for CCP in one capacity or another was what I was aiming for.
I'm glad I got as big of a reaction as I did.

"It had expensive blasters on it" now a valid reason for reimbursement :p

I can confirm that. Once got a defect that veldspar mining amounts don't add up. Got fixed though
I've been playing since early 04 and done everything like corp and alliance management, 0.0 invasion and defence (always having to bring a cap if you own them is annoying), mining, logistics, manufacturing, FW, missions. Nowadays I do mostly industry and trading after reaching all the goals I set for me. Planning on trying to live in a WH for a bit.

Ex-pirate checking in .
Though the truth is that I also had a giant carebear alt with a high-sec POS, which made me sweet, sweet ISK to allow myself to fly all the cool T2 ships.
Been playing since late-2005, and have played ever since basically.

Yeah, the carebear is strong within ccp it seems.
This explains much.

Me of a few weeks ago, that is. It all changed once I got a blockade runner. Train up something that cloaks and you'll never look back to highsec again. :-)

I've been playing since 2003, and have 5 active accounts.
I've done alliance life, piracy, etc.
Currently I mostly play the market, and run missions, with the occasional wormhole excursion thrown in.
