It is most certainly CCPs game and they can do whatever they wish. However, as I am interested in a fair and balanced game I believe it to be a terrible idea. If CCP wish to maintain a fair and balanced game, they cannot do things like this.

That's why the collectors are crying into their mothers' aprons right now

I'm sure you've all seen the shitstorm that a very vocal minority of nullbears and goon trolls/knuckleheads seem determined to stir up. I'm here to make my voice heard, and to tell the devs that I am glad they are engaging with the community more actively in new and interesting ways. This is the kind of stuff I want to keep seeing in patches; E.v.E. isn't just about pew pew spaceships and fights, after all. It's about community, fun, and that sweet sweet isk.

CCP, put me down for a big 'ol thumbs up on the subject of "Blink 1.0".

Respect.

I respect SOMER and the other player run organizations that add fun for all.

I do not enodorse and find it quite sickening that CCP would play favorites to ANY player run organization. This will not end well CCP.

I can not support what CCP is doing because Somer Blink is a scam.

I'm here to make my voice heard

uhm i haven't seen anyone actually being against blink... A lot of people are against CCP handing over unique ships to a player run organisation for profit that is destroying a part of the game's history and makes no sense since well yeah what would the description be "unique ship won through a galaxy wide lottery by a privateer corporation" ?? lore wise it makes no sense.

Still i like blink, i play blink and hope i win stuff on blink, do note that if i would win one of these ships i would probably die in a fire in it to remove it from the game.

Yes, because it's CCP's pixels. It's not like the government is handing your real life tax money to Al-queda or something.

Pixels.



Or I can keep a video game in it's proper context. Last I looked, CCP wasn't handing my alliance anything. I'll go QQ about that later today.

The highlighted part is why I think some of the criticism is silly. Some people are actually saying "why them and not me?". Not being the jealous type, I don't particularly care since it's a CCP thing rather than some covert iran-contra style stuff like the T20 affair.

I know people feel like their complaints are valid. I disagree, I think some people are letter their inner-nerd go out for a stroll and should reign it back in.

It's good that players feel a kind of "ownership" of the game, so long as they understand that they don't actually own anything. CCP can and should do as they please, those who don't like it should unsub (as I plan to do if CCP keeps trying to mainstream EVE for much longer, but that's another thread altogether).

I posted in English, what part did you not understand, the Eng part or the lish?

The bone headed part, tbh. You'll understand when you're older.

Nice Thomas Hurt Thread !

I encourage everyone to troll the **** out of their "SOMER Lotteries" public channel.

Dear Thomas Hurt

You were created 2012, while in most cases I feel age is not a factor, being so young in game there is no real aspect of why you would understand why people feel several issues over this. people don;t like CCP actively supporting a player run "casino" collectors don't like their collections be devalued (rare is what makes them hold value) and market trades don't like what can be their stock being messed with.

Eve has ALWAYS been rare ships once destroyed, were dead.. and never coming back, making them awesome things to own and fly, since they introduced the IWS they have added some more via blink also (to people annoyance) but introducing these REALLY shiny ships back into the flux is a real kick in the nuts for many people for many reasons not just the ones I listed.

Somer are in the quintillion mark last time I checked

I am a Somer Blink supporter :)

Why not crawl back into your WH space and leave CCP & Somer Blink do what they want to do.

This is a sandbox game and you should play it as intended.
