The thing that annoy me the most about this is that ccp decide to secretly support somerblink, if they want to support a ingame origination do it publicly!
Doing it secretly only leaves the question, who else is ccp supporting? I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

Why would the GTC sales matter?, the only reason people buy game time through somer, and not directly from ccp, is that bonus isk you get from somer. I'm guessing that ccp lose money, compared to people buying directly from them, every time someone uses somer to buy game time.
I can't see how somer directly is doing anything to get new people to subscribe to the game, they are basically just making monkey of the people who are already playing the game, people who would have used ccp directly if somer didn't exist.

No i don't get it, how is it they are effectually providing ccp with a larger profit?
They are selling at lower prices, Europeans can pay the lower dollar price, and they are most likely getting some retailer bonus when selling a GTC, which just makes ccp's profit less then if they would have sold the GTC them self.
I fail to see how they are directly generating new customers, so how exactly would the GTC be relevant? I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

Also CCP will point to the 100 of billions of isk Somer have spent sponsoring events such as 320bil for the NEO. and we'll point out that's bollocks in the same way coca-cola is a for profit company not a community service just because it sponsors a few kids football teams and other things. throwing money at something to have your name attached to it isn't providing a community service; it's advertising. blink aren't a charity, or a public service. they're a goddamn casino business thing.
They still did more good for the game and provided more content then you will ever do...

CCP gave them the ship, their hand was not forced. and in what way does that change the fact that somer are not a community service?
Running a gambling site is by definition a entertainment service, and they actually spend a lot of the isk they make to provide content for even the people who don't gamble.
CCP should not have given them the ship secretly, maybe not at all, but that don't make somer the bad guy. If they wanted they could keep all the isk they make for them self, but they don't they give parts of it to people who make the game better by making content, and if you can't see why that's a good thing....

Quite remarkable, isn't it? They don't secretly pick one group and give them prizes Whats your point? One group gets super valuable items, because CCP feels they deserve it, either throught their skill piloting ships in combat, or through their work which enhances a section of the community. Please enlighten me as to what you feel I am missing.
If you can't see the difference, i would say you are missing common sense. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

In order to play promo blink (free one) you had to play at least one not free blink in the last 48 hours. So how is it entering competition without paying somer exactly?
I'm not sure if it works without any deposits, but i use the milestone gifts for playing, i got 25M last time i logged in. Personally i buy GTC using somer because it's cheaper then buying from ccp, which gives 200M for free.

So many kids complaining about how the other guys soup is better, but at the same time refusing to leave the table out of protest.

Decadent, spoiled masses. May CCP never give in. You don't deserve it.
It might be filled with spoiled kids, but i see self righteous hipsters taking over in the near future.... I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

It may not affect your game play today, but we all play in the same sandbox. If CCP decide to give someone billions of isk, they give that person an advantage over everybody else.
They give someone a ship which he sells, and use the money to kick start his market manipulation career, which again enables him to make even more isk. This would never had been possible without CCP intervention, and in the end you don't what he will do with the isk he has earned.
If that person decided to spend it all on building a new high sec awoxing empire, you may be affected by the reward he initially revived from CCP. The isk CCP has given someone today, are still going to be in their wallet for the rest of their eve career.
CCP made the butterfly effect video, to explain how player actions within the sandbox affect other players, that video explain why CCP can't secretly give isk to selected individuals. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |

They give someone a ship which he sells, and use the money to kick start his market manipulation career, which again enables him to make even more isk. This would never had been possible without CCP intervention... no really 1) he could loan it from friends 2) he could sell PLEX 3) he could scam 4) .... 5) 1001 more ideas where to get ISK So in the end he got these ISK from CCP. Yes, i'm jelly too but.... In RL we have people who "has it all" and who doesn't. This is how we live.
The problem is the 6 option, get the isk from CCP. Option 1 to 5 is all based on someone working to make isk, playing by the in-game rules. The 6 option is based on promoting the game, and getting something from CCP.
I did something out of game, so CCP secretly gives me a big pile of isk in-game. It would be okay in most other mmo's, it just don't work in eve. I'm a relatively respectable citizen. Multiple felon perhaps, but certainly not dangerous. |
