This has got to be the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Two things come to mind:
- We already know from history lotteries for ingame items that are different than what everyone else can get is bad. I.e. T2 Lottery. - Why have a lottery for ships that already exist?
Want to have one for a new ship model, that's still bad, but better. God CCP is ******** sometimes, and why would the CSM even agree to such idiocy.

They may be hard to get, they may given out at special circumstances, but there should be a chance for everyone to get one - even if it is merely theoretical. There is/was always the chance. Earn enough isk and try to convince a holder of a rare item of selling it.
This attitude always gets to me. If EVE were run this way, there would be unbeatable POSes. It is simply not the EVE Online way.
The lottery idea is horrible. I hope CCP puts at least some effort into making sure it is run legitimately.

If they really must hand out new ships and fanfest tickets, then they should just leave the ships in a few special anomalies randomly scattered through high, low, worm and null. Let us go out and find and fight over them.
No Directly enriching one bunch of players at the expense of all others by spawning them items, doesn't matter if it's special ships or 5 tn isk of Veldspar or Sabre BPOs. Don't do it. |

As someone who's only been playing for a couple years so far and never got to see either of these ships when they were first introduced, I'm am against the idea of reintroducing them. |

Hey guys just give this player-run entity more ISK and you'll have a better chance of winning these things we're having them give away!
Unless you got banned from Blink and can't buy a ticket. Because we totally trust their discretion in banning players from their third party web site. For actions taken entirely out of game. Based on rules they themselves made up. That in some cases are not even listed on the site itself.

It's not just a fanfest ticket, it's an all-expenses paid trip. This isn't a typical promotion, they're promoting the hell out of Blink so that people will buy GTCs and blinks in hopes of getting a ticket. There is no other reason they would even entertain the thought of offering an all-expenses paid trip as a promotion for a bloody fansite. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Seems like a good way to **** all over anyone's desires of owning a collection of rare ships if they just start churning out these "extinct" ships at a whim. |

Isn't the double dipping method so blatantly obvious here that it hurts?
1.) Fake players (alts of lottery holder) buy tickets. Can't prove that it doesn't happen already anyway.
2.) Fake players win the limited ships, "lol randomly" ofc . Can't prove that it doesn't happen already anyway.
3.) Lottery holder pockets all the the legit players money.
4.) Fake players offload their winnings.
5.) Fake player owner, the lottery holder, profits twice from same item(s).
First thought that popped into my head and I'm not even a scamming pro. |

CCP should give me some free **** just because im not famous doesnt mean i dont deserve free bling probably worth billions a piece best way and fairest is just randomly gift the ships among all the currently active accounts sure multiboxers have a slight edge but in reality they pay ccp more with more subs so fair giving it to Somer blink just feeds isk to already probably some of the richest people in the game and some random like me with less than a bill will never get my hands on some fancy ship atleast my way gives me a chance or just do with what they did the gnosis you dont see em flying around every where and it was so fair everyone got one if you wanna give free ships give it to everyone or no one or give everyone a fair chance |

While I'm generally apathetic about things like this (because it doesn't really affect me in any way)... I must admit... something about this doesn't seem right.
BLINK will be getting ISK for items that were generated by DEVs... and that ISK will, to my knowledge, be staying in BLINK's accounts. They are basically getting something for nothing.
The only way I can see this situation ever being "fair" is if the ISK gathered from the lotto is removed from the game entirely... but then that would raise all sorts of questions regarding why can't players just buy these ships normally in-game if they have billions or trillions of ISK to burn?
Actually... now that I think about it... that would be an interesting ISK-sink. Pay 5 trillion ISK to an NPC for a super rare ship anyone? Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

So yeah, the truth is out. Eve is in fact Not Real, and CCP is being kind enough to shatter that illusion for us by favoring an ingame organization in a way that will profit them immensely.

Lol, before i forget, and considering latest CCP statement about removing the ships promised from the lottery: So what should i understand, CCP? That you sustain a prize scam, considering there's not few people that did buy tickets ONLY BECAUSE OF THE PROMISED SHIPS, and also knowing Sumer is not giving isk back? Now some might say that they couldn't have known that players reaction will be like it is. Rofl, my a** they did not know. But some might stay to their Pink Rainbow Farting Unicorns and believe THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW. All hails for these guys. They my Working Class Heroes of the day. Tripple . CCP pls keep entertaining me. |

ok, I set up a channel about a year and a half ago which I have admined and operated since, and has increased in popularity, spread mostly through word of mouth, and which has a stable and growing population and serves a large slice of eve's bigger entities. soooo, am i eligible to recieve dev-spawned items to use for promotion purposes? if the answer is no, then this whole premise is patently unfair and discriminatory and puts me at a competitive disadvantage 'just because'. i find the whole concept to be offensive. |

CCP should instead issue these ships to newly created characters on newly created non-trial accounts. Say, there's a 0.1% chance of not getting a rookie ship spawned but instead a Guardian Vexor or something. Maybe with a message "Due to a bureaucratic error you have been assigned an incredible valuable ship instead of an Velator. It's yours to keep or sell or blow up. Fly safe."
THAT would further EVE, help newbies and give CCP some income without having some random guy getting rich off it. Sure, those with loads of ISK can try to activate tons of accounts using PLEX, but then at least those PLEX are gone.

Dear CCP,
This is an atrocious idea. As I beleive that Somer Blink is nothing more than a scam, you CCP are,
- taking away the mistique of the rare ships - showing favouritism to a group of players - hurting your reputation, ( again ) - being taken for fools by these players.
This is simply an idiotic and horendous idea.
Gee whiz, if you are giving stuff away, then every player should be given their very own "frig of doom" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
