please, DO NOT give out more LIMITED EDITION SHIPS. They were limited for a reason, and are valued very very highly for that reason.
Find something else to give away.

Oh, I think CCP will have a pretty good idea.
Sure, they could keep it all... and destroy their credibility with CCP and with the community in an incredibly high profile way. They would be literally chucking away their lucrative long term income stream for a (comparatively) tiny amount of ISK.
Granted, they would have a certain notoriety afterwards which might appeal to some, but I have a hard time believing they would be so INCREDIBLY STUPID as to do what people are suggesting.
Really, think about it folks.
It's entirely irrelevant what they've done in the past. Bad Bobby hadn't scammed anyone before he walked away with several hundred billion isk from his titan BPO scam. But it's equally irrelevant whether they scam or not. CCP is directly giving a player corporation in the PVP sandbox a massive advantage.
- Increased exposure will drive more customers to their income stream.
- The prizes given by CCP aren't costing Somer anything so they can give them away without cutting into their profits.
- X amount of those customers who sign up because of this will stay, increasing Somer's long-term revenue.
The reason this was a terrible idea is not that Somer might scam (in fact it would be the best outcome if they did) but that CCP is giving a direct advantage to a player corporation because they like them. Not because of a competition open to all with clear rules involved but out of direct favouritism. I like Somer, I can't fault them for what they're doing here, or the ludicrous amounts of ISK they make (though there isn't as much transparency as would appear), this is solely on CCP. Add in that Somer is purely a gambling site that has driven players to spend rl money on isk in order to fund their gambling addiction and it's patently obvious that instead CCP should have given these items to Goonswarm, the moral, sensible choice for receiving CCP bias.
I was just going to post after thinking about it this thought "in fact it would be the best outcome if they did".
I REALLY hope that is what happens because is SO EVE!

Speaking of - make sure you seek me out while you're there if you get some free time. I'll be handing out said prizes all weekend :)
Even having the prizes as Bonks still only allows people who play Blink to participate. What chance do people who are banned from playing Blink for what are very frivolous reasons? I think what is getting a lot of peoples backs up is the fact you have to be a part of the blink club to even get a look in.
Shouldn't the opportunity to win be open for everyone? Are Blink going to be removing bans on people or is this just a case of "tough **** no prizes for you"? |

The most infuriating thing about this whole debacle is that people like me who demonstrate superior scam detection abilities ARE MATERIALLY, DOUBLY-ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE FAVORITISM.
The only way to "win" at the Somer Blink ScamGäó IS TO NOT PLAY IT EVER.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
So mad I unsubbed before I even got my 10yr anniversary swag.
so mad I get shouty crackers a lot. Deal with it. |

I just wanted to reiterate that I think this is a really stupid thread.
OP... you don't have any unique ships, so shut your mouth about their "value"
I have a fair unique ship collection including a GV. I think it's a shame there aren't more in game, and I think it's ludicrous to maintain the Gold Magnate model if nobody has one.
More ships is better than less ships. If you want money and power go break off a piece in null. Rare ships should not be a store of wealth. If a ship is rare CCP should make more of them. This is a GAME... about SPACESHIPS.

so mad no, the way to win is to be them, and then get publicity, endorsement, praise and even special handouts from ccp There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.
