The change in prize doesn't change severity the crime.
You are favoring a particular player group over others.
Under no circumstances is this ever a good idea.
Didn't you guys learn that lesson already? Isn't that why the CSM was created in the first place?
So bad, so very bad.

Of course they shouldn't get sponsorship. They're an in-game organization composed of a group of players who should not get any sort of special treatment from CCP.
The truly sad part is the complete obviousness of this favoritism, yet somehow, 10 years in, CCP still doesn't get it.
This is the only game in the history of the world that needs a player-voted group of reps to keep CCP from cheating at their own game.
And still they do this stuff....

If the rest of you ***** had an organization that ccp thought could help promote their game you might get the same deal. But you're all just a bunch of hysterical nerds ... so no dice.
Yes, giving them real world money for real world promotion work, which could be used to buy plex, would be a real world business deal, and completely legitimate. This follows the constraints of the sandbox, as some player had to pony up $$ for the plex.
But giving dev-spawned in-game limited edition bling ships absolutely breaks the sandbox metaphor of the game.
So yeah, we could all just accept it and move on.... but you're not playing the game you thought you were, which CCP advertised, which it prides itself on, which the players pride themselves in playing.
You are playing a rigged game, one rigged for you to lose.
How does that make you feel? Still don't care?
Then you shouldn't even be posting here. |

Sid Hudgens wrote:Of all the convoluted logic...
If they could pay them in real money, why can't they pay them in isk?
CCP invented the plex system as a mechanism to address RMT for isk. It is convoluted, but is accepted by the players as a less than ideal but reasonable compromise that keeps the majority of $$ spent on isk going to CCP, ostensibly to improve EvE for everyone, instead of lining the pockets of some bot-farming enterprise.
So this is the only acceptable method for converting real money to isk, because it must take place within the market, subject to supply and demand, and requiring some player, somewhere, to pony up the $$ for the plex.
If Somer does Real World work for CCP, they should be compensated in Real World Money. If they want to buy plex with that money, great, some guy out there with plex for sale would really appreciated that!
But giving Somer bling ships to sale, well that is one Rubicon I will not cross.

Nope, not a goon alt, and not applauding. Very small time and quite spacepoor. Each one of these ships is worth more than my whole little alliance of highsec carebears.

No part of this is new behavior.
The part where CCP is openly stating "Blink is trustworthy. We trust them. You should too. Go give them some of your space money". It doesn't even matter if it's true or not. The referee in a game of spies and intrigue has no place vouching for a player entity. Since you're apparently new to eve, here's a link where they told people to play BIG, and talked about when they gave BIG an Impoc, and then gave him more special edition ships to sell. Edit to clarify: I'm not saying it was wrong to acknowledge BIG's accomplishments, either.
Wow, didn't know about this..... I don't lottery because its a sucker's bet, so ignore all almost all lottery stuff.
I had no idea that CCP has been giving out free unique ships and other stuff to these other lotteries for some time now.
I had no idea that the greatest isk/hour role in eve is creating a lottery, then harvesting bling ships from CCP devs directly.
CCP you suck. Seriously. |
