Reading posts and tweets, initially CSM was completely out of the loop. And apparently now this new idea has been ran by CSM and been told that this is how it's going to be.

They are still out of loop. Seen nothing substantial of them.

And if this new deal is born by them,... No, this could simply be not true.

"I'm glad that CCP is listening to my and the rest of the CSM's significant concerns about this give-away and are adjusting their strategy. And I realize it's probably too late to abort the give-away. But this was and continues to be a bad move on CCP's part.

Just wanted to make my position on this clear, in case you were curious.

Only been in EVE for about 2 years and I know the significance of these items! That they were even considered to be Prizes is worrying.

Glad to see they have changed their mind!

Well done CCP, you have restored my faith in you guys

Whom ever made this decision internally deserves a pat on the back

I'd just love CCP to clarify on how this is a "community event", when clearly some aspects of the community are excluded from participating based on the enforcement of self appointed rules by a 3rd party entity not regulated by CCP per se.

This entity is governed by the same EULA as we all have to adhere to, sure.

In this instance however, CCP has effectively given another player / entity / website (effectively an out of game tool) the ability to dictate / choose whether i, as a paying eve customer can participate in content CCP has created (in game), or not.

I'd specifically like clarification on if this is meant to be a community event accessible to all paying subscribers who comply with the EULA - why i am currently unable to participate even if i wanted to as this character ?

Why am i being discriminated against?

Thanks for jumping on the bandwagon, but you've jumped on the wrong one. The one you wanted has already crashed and burned.

I wonder if it's any coincidence that the third party CCP are handing trillions of isk of unique, limited edition ships to, and are officially stating as CCP employees that the third party has been truthful and legitimate in every single transaction they've ever made in the game thus far, is the third party that promotes purchasing of GTCs (of which the third party themselves gain real world money from)

Thanks to all bittervet RP lore loving players who missed the actualy point, we now have this pitiful solution.

The point is not introducing back the ships, the point is the use of Blink to do it.

CCP can i have some free new unique ships as well please.


I haven't run any rigged lotteries yet but I promise to start soon if you give me a few 100bn ISK in unique ships.

i really hope that the CSM rips you a new one for showing this kind of blatant favorism

How many GTCs would you estimate you could sell with your product?

+1.

I could understand giving it to Somer Blink if they were a CCP created and controlled entity. But it is a player created and controlled for-profit entity. Blatant favouritism.

The only way I'd see this working out is if CCP was to eliminate 100% of the isk profited by Somer Blink through these specific transactions. It would be an awesome way to sink about a trillion isk from the game, which is already suffering from having to much isk in too many pockets as it is.
