If A2 still means that Somer can generate income from this, it still stinks. |

but have stuck to their decision to, as a developer, give a gigantic boost to the popularity, success, and profits to a specific player organisation.
Even if SOMER are completely trust worthy, and do indeed give away all the ships fairly, the fact that they are getting special limited edition items from CCP will unfairly give them an advantage when competing with other organisations who run similar competitions.
It means that SOMER are the only entity in which a player can go to for an attempt to get these things. And of course, all of the profits from the entries? SOMER keeps those to fund their activities and further their own goals.
It is simply unacceptable. Sponsoring 3rd party sites and organizations is completely acceptable, and is to be applauded.
not when the 3rd party site is an isk printing machine in its own right. |

yep, the new accounts attracted by Rubicon will balance with the number of accounts ended because of Somergate. |

I for one thought the Gold Magnate would be a cool thing to give out since everyone had a chance to get it.
Ultra facepalm. I'm sure you'll find that right now people aren't concerned about what ship it is, but instead the blatant favoritism being shown by CCP toward one particular player group. Keep up with the rage, man. Don't get left behind. Who the F-CK cares if SOMER BLINK makes a few mil? They've greatly contributed to the community and people use their services all the time. It's the only legit EVE gamling site that I know of. You're all a bunch of welfare tards jealous of the success that others make for themselves through hard work.
Goons have contributed more to the community, lets give them the next set of free limited edition content to do as they please with. |

simply no way of knowing this, like no way of knowing that it will be a 100% genuine lottery and not bent as a nine bob note. |

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.
too late if they do that, the damage will have been done and things will never be the same again, lost accounts that are unsubbing for a start, they wont come back. |

I think everyone is now flogging a dead horse. The only thing CCP understand is 'bums on seats', ie. the number of subscribed accounts. Mine have gone over this, and I know a fair few others that the owners dont intend extending the sub when it runs out. |
