That's a point I have to agree. Look at Q7 from dev post. Makes me nervous. |

While I appreciate that these rare ships are spawned again and thus there's a higher chance to see them, I really dislike the way it is handled.
Basically this is giving Somer Blink exclusive access to a very rare item and even if they don't cheat while giving them out (they'd be stupid to do that) the increased traffic and new ISK income basically is a free gift from CCP.
And then calling a lottery "philantropic". If you believe they are doing this at a loss I have a nice star system to sell you. |

Yeah, who cares about the stupid ships? It's the continued favoritism to marginal in-game entities that is troublesome. Blink is a cool passtime while you wait to do stuff ingame, but people don't play eve to play Blink. How about developing better content-creating mechanics so there's less downtime between fun things that then need to be filled with imaginary gambling?

As much as it is horribly bad devaluing unique items by adding more to the game, the concept that CCP can't run their own random number generator and has to rely on Somer-Blink is beyond the pale.
Tell me CCP, precisely how difficult is it to make a list of every active account the day before a lottery (AND DON'T PUBLICIZE THE DATE!!!), apply a number to that account, starting at 1. Then run a random number generator, and then whatever number that comes up, that account wins whatever prize was being drawn for?
Precisely, how is this impossible?
You want to introduce stuff into the game (which in and of itself is a terrible idea)? That is the most fair way. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |

Yeah that's a ******* riot. I've never heard of a car dealership being called ~philanthropic~ for running contests where you can win a TV by walking right into the middle of their showroom, filling out a form while some guy tries to sell you an SUV. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Dear CCP,
I am getting married on October 12th. As I progress through the next stage of my life, I decided to give up all my gaming needs by quitting the following games:
SWTOR (spent thousands on Cartel market) World of Warcraft (subscribed ever since the first day of the game) Diablo 3 (hundreds of dollars spent on AH) STO (spent thousands on ZEN)
But there is one game that I left subscribed because I sincerely believed that it was the most elegant game in the whole world, ran by the best gaming company in the whole world; EVE Online.
Just like hundreds of others, we started this game because the prospect of "collecting" and seeing our fruits of labor rise in value, brought immense joy.
I am getting married on October 12th. Do I now have to live in constant fear that all my hard work and money spent, will go down the drain as you, CCP, let your amazing Marketing Department dictate all the promotions? I understand that this is more of a personal plea, but this is how desperate we are.
Please heed our pleas. Please don't do this. |

Some of you need to take a break from EVE, find a girl (or guy, whatever) and "get some". Tired line is tired.. I got some last night and this morning and still find this to be dumb. Should I have went for a third time would that have changed my attitude towards them doing something ridiculously dumb like this?

It's great to see CCP can still deliver, just when I thought they'd played all their bad decision cards.

If they really wanted to bring back the golden magnate, I'd have less of a problem if they did it in a way that actually required effort on the part of the players, and wasn't so suspect. This feels like it's very close to the T2 BPO lottery. The answer to Q7 in the devpost also worries me. |

CCP Navigator wrote: Q1, Why have this event?
A1, This is probably the most pertinent question so the answer will be long. Community engagement, be it through a player meet up, live event arc, tournament or giveaway is extremely important for keeping players happy and providing content in other ways than flying, plotting and killing on Tranquility. We constantly look at which of our partners are running major initiatives and find ways to make them into super events whenever we can. With this event we are doing a couple of things. Firstly, we are bringing back old content which has been missing for some time and introducing new items which have previously been unavailable.
If the end goal of this **** is to create content, it will fail at a tremendous level. Everybody know these ships will end up collecting dust in hangars. If you want people to be able to have centent, amke it so it will be played with like a new ship with the Guardian-Vexor for example that can be player produced. That way it generates content because some people will actaully use them. There is absolutely no content provided by every single current Guardian Vexor in the game and addind 4 more will not "fix" that. All it will do is add 4 entry to the database for the existance in some hangar of 4 more copy of this borderline useless ship because undocking it is pretty much a suicide anyway.
If you want to add content, make it content player will use. Not some ******** collectible that will at most be undocked 3 times in the next 10 years. |

A6, I canGÇÖt. Once again we go back to the trust issue. Having worked with SOMER for some time now I asked myself, GÇÖCould they game this so they gets the cool stuff?GÇÖ Yep, they absolutely could. GÇÿCan we prevent it?GÇÖ No, we absolutely canGÇÖt. GÇÿDo I believe they would cheat to win it for themselves?GÇÖ I genuinely do not believe they will. SOMER Blink have been one of the most philanthropic groups in EVE.
It is safe to say that they can buy anything that is for sale and money is no object yet, despite that, everyone I have interacted with there is humble, gracious and honest. I honestly believe that this blast will be fun and fair for all who enter. All prizes awarded will be done so using ChribbaGÇÖs Dice. not happy about that part at all. No player corp should be given exclusive rights for distribution of special items in Eve whatsoever. Doesnt matter wether its Somer, Goons, or any other player driven corp within the sandbox. The worrying part is CCP admit that Somer could fix it, and that CCP could do nothing to stop it. That speaks volumes to me.
QFT.
This is pretty much how I feel about this. I don't agree it should be given out in this fashion. I am ok with these ships being re-released, but I can not support the way in which they will be given out. "He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." |

It makes perfect sense for ccp to hand these out to a player driven enterprise. You whiners are forgetting how much of eve is player driven.
How many of you nerds would be whining if ccp gave these ships to YOU to hand out after you'd shown yourself to be trustworthy? Damns - you're ugly - and that's a compliment from me. -Large Collidable Object Seeking donations for facial reconstructive surgery, every little bit helps! |
