I just want to know wtf is so wrong with "shai tickets" 
Oh right ... the word SOMER is not mentioned in the name. I get it now. All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |

And I get direct threats for trying to do what SOMER has been doing for years...
Perhaps I should tout my 'community service' credentials: - I have also sponsored alliance tournament teams, just like SOMER. - I have made the majority of my ISK by taking it from other players, just like SOMER. - I have assisted CCP on their balance sheet (by melting plex http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12756712), just like SOMER.
It seems the criteria for receiving favoritism is more than just community service... All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |

Unless CCP decides otherwise regarding Somer Blink, I see no reason why everyone wouldn't start a Somer Blink clone and in some way getting some $ out of Eve. Not saying it's right or wrong: just making it crystal clear that RULES ARE FOR ALL.
As someone who never used a macro, bot, RMT, or exploit (yes, I'm that dumb), please count me as +1 asking CCP to make a CRYSTAL CLEAR STATEMENT on this. I'm 100% that's want DNS wants too. RULES APPLIED TO EVERYONE, not some smart 4ss making money of out isk.
I would agree with fair application of the rules, but that is not the case here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=287581&find=unread All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |

Another example of CCP favoritism towards SOMER.
So let's recap: - SOMER was gifted a total of around 5 trillion ISK worth of in-game items. - SOMER is being allowed to continue RMT that I and others have been told we cannot do. - SOMER's legitimacy as a fair business operation has been personally guaranteed by CCP.
It is becoming clear that a different set of rules apply to SOMER than those that are applied to the rest of us.
Do we even need to wonder why CCP chose to give SOMER so much free stuff and proclaim them to be the greatest thing in EVE? Here's the data I want to see: affiliate sales numbers for the last year. I suspect CCP has very good reason to like SOMER so much.
Only SOMER is allowed to inhabit the gray area. All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |

Only SOMER is allowed to inhabit the gray area. And why not? Effort should be rewarded. Somer is the 1%  If they manage to inhabit unique game areas through game mechanics, I agree with you. We are not talking about fair use a game mechanics here though. We are talking about clear favoritism from CCP toward an in-game entity. It's a LOT easier to profit off a lottery when you get to play by a different set of rules than everyone else. All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |

Sure they can ban single players here and there who did their own Lottery but not for long because this will get public real fast and then they have to ban all Lotteries or let single players do it too. There is nothing in between.
I'm counting my ISK conversion rate right now and a lot of others did/will do the same. - SOMER engages in RMT: CCP gives them 5+ trillion ISK and praises them for community service. - Anyone else mentions they might want to try what SOMER is currently doing: Almost instantly threatened with a permanent ban.
Every day that passes without a decision is another day that CCP allows SOMER to get away with RMT that others (myself included) have been threatened with permanent bans for simply mentioning (I have never RMTed off anything).
There is no gray area here, it's clear favoritism. All the sand has blown away... now it's just a box. |
