if you read into the 1st scandals forum posts -one thread is 106 pages long and 2nd is like 30 pages long
you get 2 major categories of corruption :
1. Devs do things to directly aid their ingame corps their players are in like t20 did
2. Various volunteers commit infractions like give out story arc details ie npc char is going to pass thru sys XYZ at 12:00 gametime so the friends can ambush him and get the prize like the 1st mothership in the game
I think from reading thru all the ranting and honest complaints from the 136+ pages of forum posts the bulk of the outright cheating is volunteers
however in this most recent scandal you have a BOB member msn'ing a CCP GM in real time to get an ISD member away from their ships during a fleet battle
they have real time chat convs in 2 different chans showing this GM ordering the ISD guy around like the GM works for the BOB guy
I was a member of a group that met for 7 weeks in the summer -think in year 2 of eve-it was called a CSM. we met as reps of the player community, small med and large corp in and not in alliances and thing a guy who was a 1 man corp plus we had devs there and kieron was our moderator. it was done in a psecial ingame chan and then CCP and www.eve-i.com and some other fan sites posted the chat logs. I thru this group had email for minimum of Kieron and Ouver maybe one or 2 other devs but I never was able to send them an IM and have em do my bidding but I could forward them bug info or ask for them to review a petiton I felt was being ignored (when your petition is 30 days old with no GM response I consider myself to be ignored or lost
you fail to realize that of the 32K online 10K or more are alts
I know I until the 1st scandal had 3 acctsd of my own and a 4th acct I caretake for an inactive former CEO
NOW I play ie attended weekly ice mining op when I can for fueling corp POS when I can and today I had to do an emergency delivery to POS a load a fuel as it had been throwing out hourly POS running low on fuel evemails for hours
