Get over it. Name at least a single guy wich did FREE services to comunity and got rewarded. Meh, kind sir. Meh. *** And i find it pretty stupid that people fail to understand that it's not about the people who recieved the goodies. It's about the tendentious way those were given. |

It wasn't only Blink who got them ships.
The only problem i see is CCP being rather secretive about the whole thing. Communicate it properly and all is well.
Watching the goons freak out over Blink is pretty funny tho. What happened there, did the Mittani have his blink account banned? Did he apply for a job at Blink and got declined? pew pew |

It's already been established that CCP can give whatever the hell they want to Somer.
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=281298
We've already been through this with a public gift at least an order of magnitude greater. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised by this, or expects anything to be done. The first time around nobody relevant cared, I fail to see why this is any different except in being far lower in value.

yeah but as far as i'm aware, blink are the only ones who got it for essentially doing nothing more than making isk.
there are so many distinguishing features between blink and the other recipients of the scorpions.
either way i've said my bit and i'm bored of the discussion. you guys carry on without me. Yay, this account hasn't had it's signature banned. or it's account, if you're reading this. |

It seems that Goons are the only ones understanding a sandbox nowadays which is rather scary. |

CCP are you ******* kidding me?
Giving 20b ships out to corp members of somer as a thanks for providing content? Seriously?
You guys have totally lost the plot and ****** up big time if this is true, Ive been waiting for a reason to quit this game and you've given me one if this is true. The ****** in charge of this decision needs demoting until he learns how eve (should) work. When the devs start favoring one entity over another and gifting unique ships worth 20b for free, its time to call it a day.
You guys know what you were doing is questionable, otherwise it would have been made completely transparent for the whole community to know, BUT IT WASNT AND YOU KEPT IT CLANDENSTINE because you knew what a **** storm it would cause.

Hi CCP,
I'm Ed Tekki. Dean at Grief University, DUST's premier metagaming corp. We have contributed about 95% of all player generated content for DUST so far, including the very first DUST AWOX, Kill-resing (which has really taken off now) and other wonderful things that have lit up the DUST community in it's very darkest hours, and I'm deligted to hear that due to your new system of rewarding people who generate ingame content, I'll be recieving loads of free stuff to distribute to my students and fellow proffessors very soon!
I eagerly await your evemail detailing what and when we will be recieving, and my students and proffessors are very excited at the news.

My initial impression is that the problem here is not that SOMER got the ships, but that the reward (and any others that CCP may have given out) were not made public.

You really don't get it.... Public or secret, it changes nothing : if this was public we would still find it unfair, see what has happened with somergate 1. Your CSM colleague in another thread fail the same way than you to understand this basic fact. In fact they all failed to answer our main concern. You CSM have been created after a similar scandal to avoid that it happens again, and now you are as effective and dynamic as a piece of butter and have no wish at all to put in danger your position of CCP's spokespersons.
All what you are able to tell us is : 1) we cannot speak because the NDA 2) even when it's not under the NDA, we don't want to tell you, "for your own good" (words from another of your colleagues). 3) CCP is the boss, they can do what they want and we have nothing to say.
What it shows is that we can't rely on you to defend us players against CCP's skulduggeries. |

Just to be clear - CCP already has a program of rewording players!!
Its called "Media account" - and its basiclly playing for free.
VV got it, CSM members got it, and perhaps some more i know of
...so that wasn't enough reward? they had to give them ships??? Troll for hire. Cheap prices. |

CCP can do what it likes with its promotional internet spaceships, but why give them away in secret? Not much promotion there. Why did SOMER receive them in secret? The way the leaked Mahm e-mail is written it implies that SOMER were asked to keep their gift low profile.
Are CCP deliberately trying to create scandals to get more publicity? |

A business is not a community website, otherwise you might as well start donating ships to everyone within the CODE for having done so much for our community!
I can't believe you give these ships to a lottery... a lottery even before ISD, r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d. I disagree |

It's simple and easy. Blink causes players to win/loose isk. Players that lost isk, want to have isk back. What's easiest way to have isk? Buy PLEX. More isk lost on gambling=more PLEXes bought=more income for CCP. It's not any 'CCP favrourite fansite', it's simply their best business partner, bringing income to CCP...

i understand CCP gifting a few plex... im ok with that but the way they did it and the magnitude..... IDIOTS!
PS, Somer is a business and is run like one, they make a massive profit and im happy they sponsor some of our content but that doesn't change the fact that they still make a bucket load of isk from there players... |

I'm starting to regret buying a year's subscription for this game. What I should have done was develop external software (websites, industry calcs, spreadsheets, market bots, mining bots) in order to not only rake in insane amounts of ISK no paying subscriber will ever be able to match, but also get REWARDED for it for providing "game content".
I've seen more game content from spammers, bots and ISK sellers than these guys. Can I get a refund for the remaining of the 1 year subscription I bought? |

No matter how much of a cash cow Somer is to CCP, this blatant favouritism towards Somer is unfair and digustingly bad. In all fairness to the Eve community, it has to stop.
CCP, why are you doing this? ( Besides thanking Somer for CCP gaining a means of a cash revenue. )
Is Eve now "Pay To Win"? It sure seems that way. |

That's fine, give them a tour of the CCP offices, send them a megathron model, have them go drinking with their good buddy Navigator, give them actual cash. None of that would effect the integrity of the game we all pay for one way or another. Spawning masses of in-game crap might seem the quick, easy and low cost option but it hurts the EVE brand if the sandbox is a lie and we're actually playing a game with handpicked winners. |

Hey yeah, I'm gonna say it again. If this kind of thing is as disgustingly commonplace as it looks, where the hell is Mitten's Ishukone Watch Scorpion? Goonswarm is responsible for a huge chunk of CCP's revenue after all, and runs the best news service via TM.com. What makes these chuckle-****s running a few community events more important to the eve community more worthy than the countless hours of gameplay content created by Goonswarm?
Shame CCP, for shame. |

Dear Trebor, do try to keep up.
It is not the secrecy etc that is the main issue, bad as that is.
It is the fact that CCP is favouring a player corp.
As bad as I am at Eve, I like to think that at least we are all playing by the same rules and those who do well, do so by their own efforts, not their own efforts and some help from CCP.
I would suggest that the CSM take this up with CCP, but they seem to ignore you as a group. This is not a signature. |
