I was hoping someone would bring that up
What I see more is older players not giving a rats arse and just bailing out of this game.
While it was very dumb, it is a symptom of how sick people are getting of CCPs stupid ideas and rulings.
CCP has chosen to break its own EULA for Somer, can you not expect people to do the same? Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!! |

It not so much that sold his plex on ebay, its more the fact that he set out to deliberately screw over other Eve players for what, to prove a point?
The only point he has proven is what a massive ***** he is.
If you have a problem, fine, cry about it, post on forums, blogs what ever, quit for all I care, but why set out to screw over other players? |

Selling plex cheap screws over players no more than Somer does giving away bonus isk. Both are wrong ans as you say they screw over the player base
But as I said this problem is running deep with some players and this is just another sign, that the apple is rotten at the core. Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!! |

I personally play EVE for the friends I have in game.

Well, it had to happen at some point.
Let's be honest, Poe is a reasonably smart individual, but he is also troubled.
He was always beenquick to overestimate his own abilities and think the worst of others; quick to don the tinfoil; quick to start the drama train. It wasn't just to get more views for his blog; he has been like that forever.
There was a reason he was kicked out of E-Uni. And it shows here again, a slight petulant, narcisistic, self-destructive behaviour. I bet he once destroyed his Christmas gifts to punish his parents because they had done him some wrong. Ah well, a shame. He was quite capable on his better days. |

Well they shouldn't be buying plex on ebay in the first place.

What if your friends quit too?
Who are you to say how this might affect me or anyone else?

When I enter into an agreement with someone (CCP, other players) I honor it.
I have a hard time respecting someone who doesn't. They made the call on what their word was worth, so be it.
He decided to try and burn CCP to make a point, he decided to burn those that did real world business with him to put a spot light on his efforts.
To be honest I really don't care what happens, but I'll watch to see what happens. When his buyers accounts get banned and reversed, and if CCP contacts eBay to see what can be done to his eBay account, I'll simply point out that he and his buyers made poor choices and will have to deal with the consequences.
At the end of the day this won't affect me one way or another, but it might just get more entertaining before it's done. 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 know people play other games too, right?
There's also this place called real life, where you can go to meet your friends in person.

Play by Cheque book.
EvE is now just a game were he who has the biggest bank account wins and to add insult to injury while their ingame sales increase, what does EvE get.
A patch, 12 million on Development and EvE gets a patch. Once again we are funding all of the development on other games while EvE crawls in a corner and rots from lack of attention.
Imagine what EvE would be if they actually spent 12 million on an Expansion. Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!! |

Whilst I disagree with Frying Doom with who has the biggest bank account wins I do agree that at the moment Eve does seem to be getting the shaft in regards to development.
I would love to know how much of that 12 million CCP spent on Development actually was spent on Eve because looking at Rubicon.. very little.

Are you actually suggesting that this game has been about pay to win for over 2 years now? That is how long SOMER has been giving ISK rewards for GTC purchases. Secondly I find it outright silly that you think somebody is going to have some sort of advantage over you when they have to spend $35 for a 200 million CREDIT on a gambling service that could just as easily be lost as it is gained.
Yes I know you can buy every ticket on the board but those of you that actually play blink know that, that can be very difficult at times with how many people play and how fast the lotteries are over. Even when I want to buy half the board I have a hard time accomplishing that unless its on an ultra blink or mega. Again though you won't be getting guarantee win with 200 mil and one ultra or mega.
Secondly Poetic admitted to buying GTC through Blink in the past and had no qualms about it then. Why all of the sudden is this a huge deal for him? Lastly what he did and what SOMER does is VERY different. I know for many they don't see it that way but the devil is in the details and in this instance the details matter. |

Those type of people(ones that purposely break rules to get an advantage) always exist it doesn't mean they are the majority or what is the topic of discussion. If SOMER endorsed means to buy out an entire board or didn't actively ban people using scripts such as that this would be a different discussion, however it isn't. |

This feeling of injustice is one I can't understand and I hope someone can enlighten me.
We as a player base don't fund all of the other development, CCP does.
We pay for access to the game that already exists and the money we use to do that no longer belongs to us, it belongs to CCP.
While I obviously hope that some of the subscription fee helps further development of the game, it is ridiculous to expect someone else to spend their money only in a way that I think they should. Just as I have the right to chose how I spend my money, so does CCP.
Also, in every RL business and organisation I have worked in, no department is a true silo. There is a lot of consultation and communication between teams and ideas that end up being used by one team often originate or have substantial input from others. So to think that all of the developers working on Dust and other projects don't also have a input into the further development of Eve is a little naive I think.
I may be a girl, but I'm also the Alpha and the Omega. Be careful, I bite. |
