This is still blatant favoritism. Your giving a 3rd party entity free assets to distribute as they see fit.
Why not give them a host of T2 BPO's like you guys did the last time around? Even if the ships aren't distributed to players like NotSomersAlt, you've deliberately given a single entity an exclusive advantage over all other entities in the game.
How are you not getting this? |

Correct, but you gain more entries, and thus a higher chance of winning, by actually depositing ISK and playing regular blinks:
Quote:Here's how it works: Any time you play any Blink, you receive 1 ticket to the drawing (even if you buy more than one ticket). Plus, if you win the Blink, you receive bonus tickets based on the size of the Blink.
(For example, if you win a Big Blink, you'll receive three ticketsGÇö one for playing and two for winning.)
This is literally no different from spawning a T2 BPO for a player, except that a T2 BPO is much less lucrative than this. Twitter: @EVEAndski

Slightly better, but still crap.

On which base do you decide, which playergroup you support as much? What do they have to do to get liked so much they get Fantastilarden of ISK or only a Plex? |

You remember CCP Zulu and the $1000 jeans? Right? Right? This is that level of stupid.
The last time you guys showed this level of favoritism for a player or group of players, you had to create the CSM. Think about it for a minute. |

Your response doesn't specifically address how you verify for certain that these sites/groups are operating "fairly and independently." Unless you're controlling the sites and have total access to all of their operations, it is literally impossible for you to do so.
Nor does your response address why these groups deserve big piles of free ISK and goodies. You're essentially rewarding Somer for enriching himself with more riches. He hasn't grown the community, he's leeching off of its player base. People don't join EVE so they can play Somer.
I was already kind of on the fence about this sort of thing when I first found out that some website creators get totally free accounts (refer to Poetic Stanziel's posts on his site). This is something that isn't advertised or discussed anywhere. No rules or specifications are given for the conditions under which such accounts are awarded, nor the basis in logic of doing so. And NOW you're creating a similar structure to hand out in game items.
Where's my Black Frog Special Edition Rhea (best stats of all 4 races, black skin with red lights) for founding Black Frog, one of the top 5 services in EVE? Will Red Frog be getting a pile of goodies for all their services? I'm willing to bet the hit count on the Red Frog site is higher than most blogs. We all want our free stuff.
If you were looking for a way to polarize the community and set player against player at the meta level, you could not have done any better. Bokononist

Thanks for the golden pod I guess? Oh wait I paid for that, whereas Somer gets billions for free on top of the scam that suckered even CCP devs.
FAVORITISM SUCKS.

Please make sure this is on post-it notes EVERYWHERE IN THE OFFICE!!!!!!! As a further note, please don't just slap an Ishukone skin on them... because that is eliminating the option of offering all sorts of ships with various Corp colors in the future.
Make it something unique, so that when you ARE positioned to allow us a selection of corp color schemes on regular ships someone won't feel like you went back on your word. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

You are out of luck just like people who don't want to make somer - the only scam endorsed by CCP - even richer.
I refuse to play even on principle. It's gambling where the odds are always, 100% in favor of the house. Making it essentially a scam. Which in EVE is OK, but not when endorsed by CCP, in violation of their own rules.

From https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3656860#post3656860 :
CCP Navigator wrote: [...] SOMER Blink have a history of being trustworthy and honoring every blink played without exception. [...] Q4, So you said earlier that SOMER Blink are trusted. Does that mean CCP is promising they will always deliver?
A4, Not at all. What I am saying is that to date they have been 100% trustful and we expect that will continue. [...]
Empasis in italics by me.
Would you mind proving that to an extent which leaves no shadow of doubt? How do you even know?
Even if this proof does exist and is presented in a satisfactory manner, which I doubt, that still leaves other valid points which have been raised before of favoritism, handing out free ISK, promoting a lottery in a game which is available to teens etc.
Also:
Andski wrote:You know CCP, when you have Chribba, pirates, hisec bears, Goons, former BoB members, PL members, newbies, veterans, bittervets, collectors, and basically everyone in this game that isn't a complete troll or Blink fanboy telling you that you're doing something completely wrong to the point where you're repeating the same mistakes that caused the media storm that led to your creation of the very player council you failed to consult on this issue, you are seriously screwing up. |
