So this is what Mittens' ping last night was about.
I don't play SOMERblink. It's a rip-off and a waste of time. But now I'm tempted to toss a little isk in the pot and play a few times, just because of reasons. Maybe I'll even buy a GTC from a link on their site, to make sure I **** off little kitty even more. ;)

I honestly question the sanity and cognitive abilities of anyone unable to understand that high value dev sponsored handouts to a select portion of the community is in complete contradiction of the "sandbox" they seem to advertise.

it's not aimed at somer, but people are too busy going "grr goons" to realise. Yay, this account hasn't had it's signature banned. or it's account, if you're reading this. |

In all seriousness this whole thing strikes me as being a bit ridiculous. Community sites like this are what makes EvE so special. Giving something to sites like this harms you all how exactly.... I suspect that those of you shouting the loudest here and in other forums, if you had been on the receiving end of one of these as a gift i suspect you wouldn't be so butt hurt about this.
I have not gotten anything out of CCP other than good fun and i have no issue with gifts like this... why does this matter other than the fact that neither party were exactly up front about it (which was a total home goal) I used to have a forum sig, but CCP SocksFour stole it.... |

I read the first post thoroughly. SOMER is the scissors that CCP runs with, therefore Mittens has decided that SOMER needs to go. Therefore this is aimed at SOMER. It's a crude attempt at a strong-arm tactic which will not work because SOMER is much too well-established and popular.

I never said anything about this being aimed at somer... Hell, if ccp offered me a 10+ bil ship I would take it, just like probably 99% of you lot would.
The problem is CCP here and that these actions DIRECTLY contradict the idea of a sandbox. Furthermore, why are they rewarding a for profit isk machine rather than Other community entities which focus on training and retaining new players.
Overall, this is one of the most disturbing things I've seen come out of CCP in the 10+ years I've been here... T20 was bad, but ccp was kind of young then, but to do it again? You really have let allot of people down ccp, it seems soundwave jumped the boat for good reason. |

The only mistake CCP did is not getting out with the information about their intentions on time. We just need to make clear to CCP that they need to inform the community about such things.
They have every right to reward people that do huge things for their game, they just need to have somewhere written about things like this being possible. They should be sending them out of game gifts that don't affect the ingame environment, not in game assets that can be used to compete with subscribers who pay them money for their sandbox game.
Imagine you were involved in a war with a corporation and you were slowly beating them down and CCP gifted them trillions of isk because they ran a out of game business. Yeah, you'd be pissed off, especially if it caused you to get wtfpawned.
Well its the same thing, what about the other in game lotteries? How do they compete against Somer when its gifted so much free isk. What about where that isk is being used in game? Who's losing ships and space because some of that isk is propping up their opponents...

The latter of which, if done, might push the economy over the brink.
But the gov is ready for that because they are purchasing billions of rounds of ammo domestically along with machine guns and tanks.
During this time, more people are on welfare than ever before while a window is forming for "not enough for free health care" while having to pay extra for existing care, IF you didn't get laid off because of the new healthcare requirements. So it's a personal financial collapse for everybody who is unemployed while the rich got richer and those who claim to be against the rich use this as an opportunity to push more socialism.
Given that, I'm having a real hard time caring so much about some crap going on in a video game. And yet you were still able to spend the time to write out your post with all its textbook fallacious moral equivalency points.
he's got a point (somewhat)
the government are always awarding contracts to private firms they probably met through the local rotary dinner they wanted to give the whole social security system away a few years ago seems a good microcosm of what happens in the real world |

i'm not justifying it, just saying, it happens. i'm against both real world and imaginary world corruption. if ccp == the government of eve, then essentially this is just a government contract to a profit making company to provide a service (raffle) they should just be doing themselves, like happens all the time. |

Let me remove the butt hurt spin from your post.
"When goons are clamoring for justice, ccp must have really ****** up"
That's a far more honest way of looking at it. |

Firstful they are no in a war. As second no other lottery is even close to what Sommerblink did for our community. In my opinion and apparently in CCPs opinion others didn't deserved it.

Hah you are assuming that people that use somer blink are reasonable or "logical". People who use somer blink are like people who use the slot machine. The ingredient that makes you a reasonable person is missing, or other wise you won't be playing a game where you have a high negative expected value, and that doesn't provide any entertainment value
So you can be as reasonable as you like , it isn't going to happen because the people that use somer blink aren't reasonable.
But good luck anyways. |
