That's fine, give them a tour of the CCP offices, send them a megathron model, have them go drinking with their good buddy Navigator, give them actual cash. None of that would effect the integrity of the game we all pay for one way or another. Spawning masses of in-game crap might seem the quick, easy and low cost option but it hurts the EVE brand if the sandbox is a lie and we're actually playing a game with handpicked winners.

All I see is greed and jealousy here, bunch of cry babies upset that they didn't get shiny new toys when the kid next to them did, and I guess The Mittani is starting to feel like he is being pushed away from the CCP golden teat by Somer. STFU GTFO but before you do please let the tears flow. Buckets at the ready.

Honestly I hope CCP does more of this. The oceans of tears from the same people who felt they were entitled to mess with everybody else's game is rather enjoyable to sail my Hate Boat on.

Hey this is a sandbox. If they so mad let them track these ships down and gank them. If they can't or won't, it's not my problem.

Surely the goblin king under his mountain is not going to just sit there and take it, right? Or have those days passed?

Boycott SomerBLINK folks. Get your friends to do the same.

They are 50% of this problem, and at this point, through accepting these gifts, in the pocket of CCP. They do not deserve your 'business'.

I would dearly love an explanation for why, of all the really valuable tools and fan sites that exist because their creators love eve and created something to let players enjoy the game more or play the game better, the one that exists solely to make its creators scads of money got two gigantic handouts while all the ones that are actually nonprofit and promote the game got nothing.

Gifting unprecedented value of assets to individual organisations goes against the fundamental principal of eve. I don't see the entitlement issues or the need for a mindless insult, but I do see you, spewing sarcastic poorly-spelled garbage.

you do know i am powered by bitterness right?

seriously though they did not give them one iota of isk. thats a false cliam... what they did do was gift some players items that currently eve players are willing to pay 20 billion isk per ship.

you can see even from your reality the difference correct?

I don't get why people keep saying Coors is "just a corporation." They sponsor community events like concerts, they give out signs to people, and they even support political candidates to represent the community! What nice people! And don't they deserve help too?

Seriously the idea of Sommer being a "community service" is idiocy, and this event (just like the past event) is revealing how dumb some of the CSM is.
