I think people are forgetting one little tiny detail. This is in fact... the first Council of Planetary Management. It's clear to everyone here that Planetary Conquest needs to be fixed, and removing two members of the CPM merely a month into their term isn't going to solve the issue. They exploited the mechanic, they can surely bring it up in a meeting with other members of the CPM and with developers of CCP and demand or call a fix for it.
Another thing to keep in mind... this is probably the first FPS to have elected players working closely with the community, and the developers to help make the game favorable to everyone.
Now... I'm a firm believer that both IWS and Jenza are adult enough to be able to separate work from play. In this particular case, being able to know when it's time to buckle down as a CPM rep, and when to go about their daily lives as CEO's of their particular corporation.
People are jumping the gun way to quickly and calling for a removal of these two members all because they openly stated that they support AWOXing because it's a form of meta-game. I'm sure they know that the games internal security isn't what EVE's is, and are discussing this with the other members of the CPM in order to improve the meta-game all together.
Also, in my opinion, exploiting a mechanic that many call broken is a good thing. Especially when you've got the entire world watching your actions as it makes things get done a lot quicker.
It would not surprise me one bit if in a couple of weeks or months from now, a security feature for PC was installed in a patch.
On the other hand, I do love how the chain of events lead to this...
Randoms infiltrate D-UNI -> Said randoms (now known as Grief University) attempt to ransom D-UNI out of a 100m, they fail and proceed to throw the match in Seraphim's favor -> Grief Uni posts a thread on the forums detailing their success -> Plenty of people call them out, a few applaud, others merely troll -> RIFT is infiltrated -> IWS openly approves of subterfuge and sabotaging PC battles w/ infiltrated operatives. Calling it an 'acceptable form of meta-game' -> Jenza openly approves -> People because calling for the removal of both IWS and Jenza from the Council of Planetary Management -> Tibus Heth approves -> Me making this post for absolutely no reason, and being extremely sleepy |
