Mmmh. Would it be RMT if the GFC decides that in their forums you can only post pictures/have a signature/smilys if you buy a GTC from their affiliate link?

you not only get SomerCredit but also Tokens which can be used in free promos and where you could gain several billions ISK

NO! Because they will not sell isk or items

But they alliance only exists because of Eve. Somer doesn't give ISK or tiems.



Exactly what DNS Black did. He gave tickets for a raffle to those who both GTC from him.

That is not true. DNS Black raffle a) wasn't fair and b) sold the GTC directly and overpriced ;-)

And why should he reply? Free advertisement for his site

I still think that the gamers here are overreacting to the 200million bonus for GTC. You could of course say it is a grey area because the 200mill SomerCredits are a "cheap" advertisement which can't be easily reproduced by another alliance forums or Battleclinic (you not only get SomerCredit but also Tokens which can be used in free promos and where you could gain several billions ISK) and that they can converted to 80% ISK. If you and your connection is fast enough

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 like to state that if Somer can do this, then everyone can do this.
Thank you DNSBlack for pointing that out, I personaly applaud you.

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.

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.

And why not? Effort should be rewarded. Somer is the 1%

And why not? Effort should be rewarded. Somer is the 1%

So for profit businesses that CCP choose should be allowed to break the rules but no one else is allowed too or do you believe that any one who makes an effort sgould be allowed to RMT?

If CCP wants to say clearly that Somer is allowed to RMT because it made an effort, I am sure the players would rightfully laugh in their face and unsub.

]Please explain why a) it wasn't fair. One person 'bought' 2500 tickets and as such had a 2500/2501 chance of winning. The other person bought one ticket and had a 1/2501 chance if winning. If you buy more tickets to a raffle or lottery, you have more chance of winning. Please clarify why it wasn't fair - would love to hear it.

It would be nice to have an official response on this.

It should be perfectly legal as it's not remotely as malicious as what somer does on a daily basis. However, as we all experienced in recent events, CCP obviously applies double standards when it comes to somer.

I'd like to raffle 3 characters totaling 290 mill SP including a couple of HG pirate implant clones and ~150 bill worth in assets and isk.

I'd just like some reassurance CCP believe themselves to be as legit as somer before setting the package up.

Greetings,

Any form of ETC trading outside of the CCP created system is not permitted or supported by CCP. We are currently investigating if the sort of ETC resale (resale by an unauthorized reseller) is permitted. We appreciate your patience while we investigate this matter.

Let me help you out here. In the US, it is permitted. Please try and stop it, you will be laughed at in court.
