How the CCP CEO reacted after hearing about the reddit backlash regarding Carrier/Rorqual nerfs

How Hilmar reacted on Monday Morning

00:00 - 00:03 It would appear that our decision to nerf Rorquals and Carriers

00:04 - 00:05 did not go down very well on Reddit

00:05 - 00:07 over the weekend.

00:08 - 00:12 It may have been exacerbated by a certain EvE Dev blaming the 1% of the 1%

00:12 - 00:15 and using inaccurate figures in an example of why they needed to change.

00:17 - 00:19 I don'think thats anything to be worried about.

00:19 - 00:21 Bitter Vet Syndrome always comes out.

00:24 - 00:26 But Sir...

00:27 - 00:28 It was ...

00:31 - 00:33 It was me who cited the erroneous figures

00:34 - 00:36 I said Supers were getting 260mil ticks

00:53 - 00:58 Everyone leave the room except... Seagull, Fozzie and Quant

01:13 - 01:15 What in the Holy FUCK???

01:15 - 01:17 Were you THINKING?

01:18 - 01:23 Thats a GODDAM ONE-OFF TICK from ONE FUCKING SUPER!

01:25 - 01:28 Telling people we are nerfing Carriers

01:29 - 01:31 because of ONE goddam outlier

01:31 - 01:34 Will get the fucking Bitter Vets

01:34 - 01:37 Crawling out of the fucking woodwork.

01:37 - 01:40 What sort of fucking Idiot would say something like that?

01:40 - 01:42 Sir, he realized it was a mistake and tried to correct it

01:42 - 01:46 Did it do any goddam good? I bet it Didn't!!

01:46 - 01:48 The error was pointed out by the community before he could retract

01:48 - 01:52 Well, fuck me pink! They aren't stupid you know!

01:53 - 01:54 OF COURSE they were going to pick up on it.

01:56 - 01:57 There are ACCOUTANTS that play EvE

01:57 - 02:00 They put more effort into Eve than into WORK!

02:00 - 02:03 He KNOWS he can use only FACT BASED FIGURES with this mob.

02:04 - 02:08 He has just made the entire Dev team look like Autistic Idiots!

02:08 - 02:13 This sort of shit will have people unsubbing their characters in goddam droves.

02:14 - 02:16 He just undid all the fucking work

02:17 - 02:21 we put into microtransactions and nuPLEX in one stupid off-the-cuff statement!

02:27 - 02:29 How in the hell

02:30 - 02:34 are we going to explain this

02:34 - 02:36 to the buyers we had lined up?

02:41 - 02:42 Our income From EvE

02:43 - 02:47 Is just about to go through the damned FLOOR

02:48 - 02:53 All because our frickin numbers guy didnt know the correct bloody numbers

02:54 - 02:56 In a game full of Spreadsheet Warriors

02:56 - 02:59 And bitter vets who complain about ANYTHING

03:00 - 03:02 Even if it doesn' affect them personally!

03:04 - 03:07 It's OK... Goons will come!

03:14 - 03:16 What are we going to do about this?

03:19 - 03:23 It is... most unfortunate that this happened when we were looking for buyers

03:25 - 03:26 EvE is Dying...

03:31 - 03:33 Our time is up...

03:40 - 03:46 All we can do is create at least 50 new Skins for popular ships

03:46 - 03:49 And sell them for nuPLEX
