I would really like to hear a CCP comment on this. And I hope I don't have to add that it should be comprehensive and honest. CSM, please make them do it.
If this is true it's even worse than the other giveaways cause it happened secretly and was even more directly intended to support an ingame for-profit organization, not that the intent of the other giveaways was much different.
And while I was one of the more vocal opponents against the giveaways in the other threads I now feel a bit stupid for going out of my way to state that I was sure it all happened with the best intentions and just the implementation was really bad. If this turns out to be fact then I'm afraid I can't uphold the "well-intentioned by CCP" claim. IIRC I didn't liken the severity of the other giveaways to the t20 incident because I think they aren't as bad, but these giveaways straight to Somer employees are just as bad. This is the next t20. CCP, can't you see how much you damage your sandbox?
NB: So far I have also gone out of my way to state that this isn't about Somer, because it would be much to ask of them to turn down the other giveaways intended for auction. But taking straight gifts from CCP and even taking action to keep it a secret: shame on you, Somer!

Quote:To me it seems more like an orchestrated attack on CCP in order to win some concessions somewhere else. Exactly. The concession being that they keep their fingers out of the sandbox and stop meddling with ingame competition.

Herzog Wolfhammer wrote:All I am doing is echoing the things that are said to noobs and carebears who get ganked. You are aware we are talking about totally different degrees of fairness here? The referee actively influencing the game by supporting one side is very much different from one side in the game just outclassing the other side.
Quote:I'm watching the people who normally have the upper hand in telling others how unfair things are, and relishing in it, and seeing them act like a 2-month missioner who just lost his first BS in Amamake. I think you fail to take into account that I'm one of those hisec carebears. But don't let me interrupt your GRRRR GOONS ad hominem posts if you enjoy them so much. |

My purely speculative guess is that the person who leaked it saw the other discussion about the unique ship giveaways to Somer (the ones that were auctioned), found himself agreeing with the people opposed to that giveaway, consulted his conscience and leaked it. |
