Bored pilots are bored.

20bn is barely worth mentioning when coming from CCP. I dare say that if it gets them a couple more years of service from SOMER, and SOMER keeps pumping tens or hundreds of billions into sponsoring events etc, then it is a good trade.

It's not about the money.

Then you're kidding yourself. People are crying because other people got something they didn't get... and CCP chose not to tell the entire galaxy so people didn't QQ all over themselves.

These ships enter the economy in one way and one way alone: CCP.

Nor are they exclusive to a particular challenge, which was a bit of a ****-move on CCP's part offering old alliance tourney ships.

I'm fine with it. If you want CCP to send you something shiny for *effort* rather than just because you're cool, then by all means, go and make something.

This is pure nerd rage without bothering to check the story. TMC have used no journalism worth talking of in their story. They have provided no verification. Only a lousy screen-shot so easily fake-able. Anyone falling for their story as a cause for rage should be ashamed of themselves.

Now, if CCP come out and say 'yes it's true and we think we are in the right'.... Then go shoot the monument and I might even be there with you. But right now you are nerd raging over a TWO MONTH OLD story.

Here is a random article from CNN, please show where CNN have provided any verification for the story? Obviously they should have given time-stamped photographs of the deceased, independent witnesses and a live video feed from multiple angles.

While it would be lovely for all media outlets to provide cross-reference and audience-checkable sources for every news article published, it's also never going to happen. Ever.

You're also, continually, ignoring that Somer Blink confirmed it, why are you ignoring that? Could it be because it doesn't fit your narrative?

You mean TMC isn't just an ad farm, and people actually read and believe the crap posted there?

Goons certainly do.

When did goons become people?

Holy ****, this is starting to get really annoying. Just like all the other badly researched headline journalism. Fortunately I can ignore those crappy magazines IRL. Unfortuanelty they litter the frontpage of my favorite forum atm.

To be fair, it's just a tiny bit better than the d3 or wow forums. So while eve forums are no doubt some of the worst in the industry, they can always do worse. At the very least we're not dealing with an endless swarm of white knight fanbois shouting about how CCP is the best company the world has ever seen.

Instead it's Somer blink fanboys.
