You've reviewed our concerns and decided to keep playing favorites with the promise of more favoritism in the future. This stinks CCP - why exactly should I bother taking space or grinding boring PVE when buttering up CCP developers is clearly the best path to untold riches? |

Even if Blink is 100% honest and trustworthy they shouldn't get handed incredibly valuable stuff in a hardcore pvp game that revolves around people fighting over stuff. If developer friends can get gifted resources on a whim that would make coalitions feel flush then it rather devalues everyone's efforts fighting for resources the hard way. |

He certainly needs to edit his sig slightly:

Not mention factually untrue. You need to have played paid games in the last 48hrs to be eligible for the promo blinks unless you've already given the site 1bn isk. The same guy that tells us they've audited Blink and it's 100% trustworthy doesn't even know the most basic rules of the site. |

The difference being Budweiser doesn't have a commanding in-game presence like Somer Blink. If CCP decided to give themittani.com a trillion isk or so of swag to disperse as Mittens saw fit I'm sure the rage would make monoclegate look like a couple of old ladies tutting over tea and biscuits. |

Q7, So I am a Fansite, can I have a Vexor/Magnate to give away?
A7, Maybe in the future you can but for now we are testing the waters and looking at how players react. As I stated in the first answer, we want to grow our engagement and start offering really cool stuff to players in the future but we will need to do some trials to find out the best content delivery method for any future event like this.
Why does it seem like every time CCP wants to "test the waters" they end up face planting? They couldn't give out some of those worthless catalysts they seemed to be throwing at anyone who would sell their product for a while? I bet CCP knew exactly how people would react. They probably always planned to make this a one time deal. SOMER are getting a ton of free isk because of the RL money their connection to MarkeeDragon generates for CCP. And then CCP can use the excuse of community backlash to avoid giving other community entities the same deal.
I'd be completely satisfied if CCP came out and said "Sorry we screwed up, not going to happen again". Realistically they're not going to just yank any prizes from Blink that'd be an awful headache. But acknowledging they messed up and stating it won't ever happen again would show they understand we don't want them playing favorites. "(some handpicked favorite parts of the)Community engagement" isn't worth ruining a level playing field for in a game that revolves around cut throat competition at every level. |
