The only way this happens is if you assign CEO of your corp to an EVE player. Even if they give the CEO title back they could have taken shares during their stay which gives them power to boot the current CEO using voting. It seems this is becoming increasingly common and confusing people so we will add a warning about it when you resign from CEO.

The shares and voting system is complicated and we purposefully did not include any of this in DUST. However once you have a mixed corporation you need to understand the implications of having both games involved.

As of today i lost my corp to the eve player after ccp told me they took steps to prevent this from happening and so i guess ccp lied to me and my corp and allowed this to happen. I got voted out and no one else could vote against him he has all the shares and dust players dont vote. I dont know how he got them would have like this problem fixed i dont think its fair for this to happen and nothing i can do. So to everyone in dust dust core is control by a trader he cant help the corp and the name is corrupt now. I wish ccp will disbanded the corp. Im not happy that this happen all the hard i have done in this corp taken away in 2 days by something I couldnt stop or didnt know about. Jihad destroyer 011011 said he only wanted the corp name thats f up i helped made this corp and in 2 days it was taken away its a sad day in dust .

Hello,

Thanks for your email and please accept your most sincere apologies for the delay in replying to you.

After thoroughly investigating the issue in question we have now cancelled the vote triggered by the mentioned EVE Online pilot and your CEO role should have been restored. In order for us to do please be aware one of our Game Master (GM Grave) temporary joined your Corporation and modified the number of corporation shares available. This will not in any way affect the Corporation and was only required in order for us to intervene.

Additionally to the above we have also taken extra steps to avoid similar issues occurring again with the parties involved.

We would also like to bring to your attention to take extra care when appointing directors, especially if the player is an EVE Pilot. Corporation Management, EVE side, is much more elaborated than in DUST 514 and Directors, as well as CEO do have a lot more features available to them, some of which can be used in some ways to take over corporations.

Please be on the lookout for further communications on this matter as we will make a public announcement on this issue in the coming days via our official forums in order to clarify the mechanics, policies and our stance on this matter.

If you have any further issue please let us know.

Warm regards,
GM Unicorn

While EVE (and now DUST) is all about the scamming and the cheating, it is just as much about smart play to protect yourself from the scamming an the cheating. CCP cares just as much about balancing this as they care about balancing weapons. This incident, as with the AWOXing incidents, shows that CCP does not accept scamming and cheating that does not have a counter. I am glad that CCP chose to step in and correct this situation. It did not meet the standards of Meta Game balance that we come to expect from CCP. Sort of an oops moment for them I expect. DonGÇÖt expect petitioning to work after they get proper messaging and counter measures in though.

Makes me wonder why GMs got involved at all... and why they assumed it was an exploit when clearly it is not.

here's why this is unfair and an exploit you can go on blah blah blahing trying to defend why you (jihad) and raider are not class a ho bags going on about how we had other eve pilots who is and yada yada yada when nano cleric who has years of eve experience didn't know what happened because as CCP null arbor stated the dust CEO has control over the shares in their corp till an eve pilot is CEO even for a brief period those shares become public and there is no way that any one would know this this doesn't happen in eve once someone has control of share they have those share in eve there is no poor programing that is so obscure that just takes already allocated shares away so that the next ho bag can take them and that's why ccp has been intervening

i hate to say this without testing it now but unless a change has been made in the last 3 months with regards to the way shares function you are 100% wrong. and i know it for a fact. all you need to take shares is be made a director. the director can then assign shares out of the wallet to him self. their is NOTHING dust side that can be done about this. its always worked like this. you need to check this out Null.
