If it is true, this makes me sick. Genuinely sick. 1) There is nothing wrong with Somer talking with CCP over Skype. 2) If what "makes you sick" is that nobody is getting banned, it'd be ridiculous of CCP to hand out bans for something they previously had a permissive attitude towards.
It is sickening because we, the playerbase, have gotten the wall of silence throughout this entire affair from CCP, while Somer appears to just be able to call-up CCP whenever he wants to and be all chummy. Keeping in mind that CCP's blatant favoritism towards Somer is what get this whole thing kicked off in the first place.

So if CCP decided to ban everyone that buys PLEX using isk cause they decide that everyone must spend real money, then you would be cool with that? Nothing like banning people for stuff they have been told is allowed.
The EULA is the EULA even if some CCP devs enjoy playing Blink so much that they're willing to ignore the rules in this case.
And if you can't tell the difference between PLEX and Somer's current RMT firesale, then that's your problem, not mine. |

You've done that for a few years. You then get notified by the government that you cannot sell Mr Pibb because its illegal. You have 10 day to stop selling Mr Pibb, this is your only warning.
Would you..
1) Throw out your stockpile of Mr Pibb?
2) Have a Mr Pibb Party where you give it away to whoever wants it?
3) Have a Mr Pibb Mass Sale, offloading and cashing in on all the Mr Pibb you have within the 10 day timespan so that you can comply?
I guarantee it'll be #2 or #3.
They were given 10 days, of COURSE they will cash in. They want to bring people TO Somer Blink, so have a mass sale, get as much people to commit isk to Somer, get a bunch of GTC, then watch as the people lose all there isk playing Somer Blink.
It ain't idiotic, its what we all would do in that same situation.
Is it dumb.. Yup.. but there making bank.
The other GTC affiliates didn't seem to have any trouble taking down their bonuses within the first day or so, only Somer is engaging in this RMT firesale. |

Somer Blink still has a bunch of assets to RMT firesale off first, wouldn't want immediate CCP action to get in the way of that. |

I just got off the phone with a Markee representative, they said they are having more sales in the past 24 hours than in the past 6 months.
It's essentially going to be first come first serve.
For all those Somer alts... I mean, "concerned individuals" arguing that only people who lost money on Somer Blink (I hadn't even heard of it until this scandal broke) could possibly be angry about this and that Somer's activities have no effect on the average Eve player, I want to point out that this is going to have a dramatic effect on the price of PLEX. Regular players uninvolved with Somer are suddenly going to find it much more difficult to pay for their accounts with ISK if people use their Somer ISK to buy up all the PLEX. Or alternatively, if all the people getting ISK from Somer buy PLEX and dump it on the market, then the price will drop dramatically for people buying PLEX to sell and get ISK but not choosing to through Somer. All because CCP decided to openly endorse and run cover for a blatant RMT operation in violation of the EULA. This is a tangible example of RMT hurting the game. |
