Those were just a few of the "official" posts that made it to the front page of the games' web sites. There are probably hundreds of other posts buried in official and unofficial forums and game sites.
Which brings us to the conclusion that most large MMORPG companies of today didn't do what CCP did, hence the victory of EVE in every award.
Doesn't really matter anymore anyway. After what happened last year during the awards, I didn't even bother to vote this time. Eve-Online winning Best PvE, nuff said. The voting and rankings on the site have become a joke. I haven't taken them seriously for a long time now, and yes this has become the 2nd home of Eve-Online fanboys.

MMORPG had little enough credibility to begin with and now they've simply proved once again that they cater to whomever sends them advertising dollars. Well done MMORPG you've let who knows how many duplicate accounts vote in your "Readers" choice awards and given liscense to a completely worthless game to make a false boast for another year.
