First I'd like to say: This issue should be taken away from the forums and left strictly to the CSM to work out. This thread constitutes an end-around of the elected officials. The reason I'm saying this is I feel like the silent majority isn't being represented here, and that the squeaky wheel is getting the grease. This certainly is a tear harvest - content creations successful!

See above comment. This would be like the mayor of my town asking all citizens to call him about an economic development deal. Do you know many leaders who would actually do that? Very few are that crazy.

No, screw that. Somer Blink, TMC, eveonion, etc... has kept my interest beyond the massacre of my noobships by assholes with actual skill in better ships. They are well-run organizations that provide services to me and many of my comrades. (just kidding, I have no friends) The fewer people innovating and providing extra, sometimes out-of-game content, the fewer casual Calvins like me will be in-game to act as loot pinatas.
CCP Guard wrote:Create non-transferrable in-game items as rewards?
I did not know they existed. As long as hordes of brave young pilots such as myself can blow them up, whatever floats your boat. However, this cannot be the way to cop out of truly rewarding innovation. I could see this turning into the "turkey for a christmas bonus" to all of these people who go above and beyond. (Look, honey! We can buy a space-pool after I apply the tramp stamp tattoo that ccp gave me for my awesome widget!)
CCP Guard wrote:Give no personal rewards and only prizes?
Prizes in the context of junk with no combat advantage that I can win from these great organizations? It is still worth isk? Heck yeah to prizes. Heck no to the sentiment!
CCP Guard wrote:Only items below a certain expected ISK value?
NO! GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS! Giveaways to people/groups who spend an extraordinary amount of time and their own money to make my game experience more enjoyable are good. 95% of the population of tranquility will never spend the isk on a fancy gimped ship, ridiculous eyepatch (yarr) or any other collector's item anyway, but a very large portion of them WILL use the services of the rewarded entities.
Offering in-game incentives to community builders = economic development. Plus you get all these delicious tears to boot!
Caving in to the pilots who, for the most part, suddenly exhibit "moral" opposition to supporting a popular player-run organization because it's a gambling site validates their own personal reasons for whining. Don't be an enabler... |
