[Tin foil hat] Somer is run by CCP alts. The purpose of blink is to create an ISK sink. You think those Somer people are getting rich? They aren't. All that ISK they get is just going to sit in a giant account and rot.
Isk sink successful.

Yes you are. Anyway, the thread is unsticked and has run it's course. Your feedback is apparently (and understandably) no longer welcome. This is now nothing but repetitive posting of the same thing, ranting, and should be locked :)
I don't really understand your posts.
Lots of new information is here -- just in the last page people pointed out that SOMER was handed new special Stratios cruisers.
I had no idea that even happened .
I don't really have any "feedback" to offer personally, other than to hope CCP continues to offer explanations justifications to the community on the handing out of "elite" goods to third parties.
If wanting/liking explanations is "entitlement" then I do not feel even slightly guilty for having that label. |

Yeah thats *really* hard to understand
You think that's hard to understand?
This one is REALLY hard to understand!!

We want to carefully consider your feedback and determine what our framework should be and what improvements to the level of transparency are needed so that the rewards program serves its intended purpose of making the EVE Universe a better place |

Anslo wrote:Guys I'm not demanding anything except an update from the company who has no obligation to me except for providing a service! Also we're not complaining about you. We're insulting you and showing others how little you matter :)
i would classify this as a fairly obvious off-topic troll.
if you have nothing to add to the thread other than to insult people, why are you bumping it continuously?
also: fallacious logic about "mattering" - in a statistical sense, an 80 page thread matters, and has some *weight* in terms of community response. so yes, clearly this "matters."
it's certainly not the same 5 people posting in the thread over and over. i've only posted a few times here, and that's probably true of most people, with maybe a few outliers posting a lot. |

I dislike the practice in general, so this argument does not apply to me.
Try another?
Also, this thread exists as far as I know as an attempt for community outreach/comments/opinions
Stepping in at page 80 and telling people their comments/opinions (which was the purpose of the thread) do not matter, is just facepalmingly stupid. |

Are you comparing a for-profit gambling website to a groundbreaking scientific contribution? And the special edition Battleships to a Nobel Prize?
Impressive.
Personally, I think the profit of running a successful gambling operation is it's own reward. I don't laud the people who run them. I don't hate them, either.
Certainly I do not think them worthy of any kind of additional reward. |

I propose limited edition memorabilia.
Miniature statues of ships, characters, or items, perhaps out of pewter. There are cheaper substrates as well.
T-shirts, clothing (kind of boring)
Signed posters (GIANT STARMAP?)
More in this vein. |

Especially after CCP came out and said that SOMER had no control over the change in prizes, as it was CCP's decision in response to the player outrage. Since CCP made the change, they should bear primary responsibility for ensuring resulting reimbursements. I disagree, as this was SOMER BLINK's contest, but I'll follow your line of thinking. Let's assume this is CCP's responsibility, and let's assume that SOMER BLINK is "trustworthy and reliable" as a dev has claimed (well before a GM confirmed SOMER BLINK did scam me) - why doesn't SOMER refund me my 16B and then claim the 16B from CCP? Because right now the result is that SOMER is sitting on my 16B while pointing at CCP. SOMER has my 16B, I have nothing, and both SOMER and CCP point at eachother. Why doesn't SOMER give me my 16B back and then SOMER and CCP can fight amongst themselves who should ultimately pay for that refund?
Well, probably because it's not your ISK anymore. It's SOMER's. So you should probably stop referring to as "your ISK"
The entire concept of SOMER is a scam. They charge more in tickets than the prizes cost. It's a for-profit enterprise. The more ISK you give them, the more you will lose.
The only thing your story does for me is the cement how ridiculous it is for CCP to trust SOMER with distributing prizes. They scam people.
CCP should not be officially affiliated with scammers. |

Contests/tournaments.
Has there ever been a CCP endorsed lottery of rare items that DIDN'T cause a clusterfuck?
Does anybody remember the T2 BPO Lottery?
When will CCP learn from their mistakes? Probably never. |
