Everyone needs to link this thread to their sig, just sayin'

It's really hard for me to explain things. I never heard of CCP until I became involved in DUST 514. A free FPS that looked like a solid game. I really enjoyed being able to be a part of this from the ground up as a beta player and all. Sure the game had its faults, but they were being fixed and with the players help, my help, we shaped it into something solid. I felt like I was part of a strange family, sure a digital one, but family.

Then I hear about this Fanfest and CCP really pushing DUST players to come up to Iceland and enjoy the party on top of the world. A party with the rest of the family and to meet EVE players as well as other DUST players. I am a family man and really wanted my family to experience the CCP and EVE family. We flew up here to join in on the Fanfest activities. My wife and little boy. Hopefully will try to get him another sibling to pick on later this year! (still trying)

At first things were great. It was interesting to walk around and introduce yourself as a DUST only player and everyone was so friendly. I meet a ton of people. Things were great. Finally, after all the other stuff we get to the DUST presentation. For a moment I felt special. This was a presentation about me and the rest of my friends who play DUST. A presentation for us and to become closer to the rest of this family here at CCP and with EVE. Everyone around me knew I was a DUST only player it seemed.

Never in all my life have I been this utterly embarrassed to be somewhere. To really feel executed on the spot and all eyes on you. I felt like the biggest fool in the universe. My wife just covered her mouth and looked at me with pity. It felt as if everyone was looking at me for a reaction.

Every single moment after that it seemed like my family and I had leprosy. People steered clear and ended conversations as fast as possible and vanished. I just don't know how else to explain it. I have never in all my life felt this betrayed and publicly humiliated.

I wish I never came up here.

Thread will never die.

I will show this thread to my children and my children's children.

Don't let the flame die out!

I don't have the words. I am so very sorry...

Blue Tag please....

This thread is now back to its unlocked state due to requests from players and CPM because of the sentiment it demonstrates amongst some players within the community.

However, the initial lock was decided upon thorough investigation. We wanted to meet with the player, talk in person, but we were not able to locate any evidence that this player was indeed here and attending Fanfest.

Does it matter that you can find him or not?

He is expressing exactly what 90% of the community feels right now.

We feel like you have just executed every single dust player in Iceland right now.

Let me tell an analogy that sums up what's going on.

Player bob has just got a new job, it's a good job, he's happy and likes it. His boss (CCP) dangles that carrot of promotion in front of him for 15+ months and then says " you know what bob, I have a uprise for you, some to my office (iceland) and I'll show you". Now bob, the loyal hardworking worker, thinks it's a promotion as hinted at by his boss for 15 months. He's happy, tells his family,about it and is happy because now he can buy that house he wants to. He shows up to his boss's office ecstatic. Takes 3 steps in the door and hears "you're fired"

Through investigation? (That sounds very stupid, so, option two?)

He wrote in your quote thorough?
