Where's my Faction Erebus CCP? It's not bad because you can't make it, is slightly worse than a normal one, and you can't refine it.

Still, the best thing to come out of this was CCP Navigator recommending people go join a gambling site and take part in their scheme to get you hooked free credit

While I like SOMER Blink, I'm a little confused as to why exactly they are getting unique and expensive in-game rewards for running a site intended for profit. In terms of content the site adds nothing, and I seriously doubt there's anyone who joined EVE because of some 'amazing gambling site'.
Chribba, Rooks and Kings, DaOpa, Goonswarm, PL, EVE Uni, CVA, Mintchip and a lot of other people have done far more to bring people into the game and retain them than any gambling site in existence, and I would honestly expect those people/organisations to be higher in the pipeline for rewards. It's all very strange (and no, I'm not subscribing to a conspiracy theory for once).
But anyway yeah, honestly give RnK a fleet of them - I'd love to see what they could do with them in an organised fleet.  |

CCP always has a choice in promotions such as these. They could run it at the "people's" level in the form of a lottery with an even playing field, instead of bonusing already-rich money-making enterprises.

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.

I'll firstly admit what CCP did was wrong, favoritism in anyway isn't cool! BUT, if you look at what was given away /exactly/ what was given away. Then I'll be honest to say all I see is a bunch of kids crying!
If it was a game changing element to a SOV holding corp/alliance/coalition, ok, burn this ****** to the ground! Now sit back and think about it for all of 1 minute, they gave 30 NERFED BSs (same stats as original, different skin, refines into 1 trit.) to a non-combat entity that in NO WAY HAS BEEN PROVEN TO FILTER ISK TO A COMBAT ENTITY AND IS INVOLVED IN RMT!
Not sure why you are focusing on connections to combat entities. The fact that the item is not great in combat is irrelevant. Power is exercised in this game through various means and one of the non-combat spheres is the economy. Handing out 500billion isk to an organisation is a major economic boost and gives those players extra leverage in the field of economic PvP. It is not the case that only favouritism to nullsec power blocs matters. As someone who has mainly focused on the business side of the eve game and who sees all other eve businesses as competitors, I find the fact that CCP is giving significant economic boosts to their favourite business just as disturbing as if they were giving significant strategic advantages to their favourite null-sec power bloc.

Bolding and capitalizing a statement makes it true obviously. But apart from that:
Why would anyone entertain a for-profit gambling site in Eve? What possible reasons could there be? Now sit back and think about it. Because after blinging out your PVE Marauder there aren't many single player options to spend isk, so you either:
a) Have alts or friends in "combat entities", or b) RMT. |

i like somer blink dont care its a for profit website... but it seems alot of people are butthurt over them getting some shiny station spining toys... perhaps in the future CCP can give them some free RL merchandice like the guritas hoodie... maybe people will be less upset or hurt (i bet thats the real reason cribbs is upset cuss he runs eve offline and stuff like that which has had a much bigger impact on the game but did not get his free scorp... so he is more then likely why them and not me... which is totally reasonable)

Actually if they wanted to reward Somer employees that is exactly what they should have done. RL goods like hoodies and Rifter USB hubs do not impact the sandbox. Giving an in game corp and its employees billions of free stuff does.
Hey CCP, please slush my fund like you did for SOMER Blink. |

It does not work without deposits. You have to play once, and you cannot play without credit, and you dont get achievement without playing. You have to at least deposit once or buy GTC through them. You have to give them isk or buy GTC. not exactly free.

Secrecy and SOMER's business model are what smells bad in this issue.
And CCP's ability to shoot its own foot with absolute lack of good sense is amazing.

Somer is a business, plain and simple.
It makes no bones about what it is, it doesn't pretend to be anything other then what it is.

Again there is nothing wrong with Somers business model.
If anything it has a great business model otherwise it wouldn't have been operating for as long as it has.
The issue is not with Somer but CCP. |
