Somer making a mint while shitting on the community.

And the complaint ish that the 10 days look suspect. The 10 days was given to give time to adhere to the rules. If Somer had done nothing for the 10 days, that would be fine. But it's that they clearly could abide by the rules now, but instead they've chosen to RMT like crazy before they run out of time. That's what we don't like. All the other sites did the right thing by packing it in as soon as they could.

Seriously though, if you're not a Somer shill, why troll so hard?
Why not just **** off if you've got nothing constructive to add?

Oh yeah, because of poor precious Somer needs protecting from us, the evil community that hates RMT.

I don't like RMT, but the fact is that RMT is and has been a part of the MMORPG world for as long as MMORPGs have existed. I propose that it is not RMT you hate, it's CCP. It's the notion that they gave someone some advantage that they didn't give you, and you just can't get over it.

Lets say you own a company and sell Mr Pibb.

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.

Odd how none of that **** seems to have fallen on me. Or any of the people I fly with. Or anyone I know in the Eve community. Maybe it's because I don't spend my time looking for ways to be offended, to be put-upon, to be treated "unfairly". Maybe it's because I see Somer the same way I see Vegas: If your dumb enough to drop your coin in the slot, I have no sympathy for you.




Thank you for proving my point. As I said, it s not enough that the problem has been addressed and a fix put in place. Now, you must complain that the offending site isn't doing it fast enough. They were given 10 days, and because they are using the 10 days they were given, you once again have to complain and whine and point fingers and say how unfair life is . . .






Just as you see SomerBLINK and this whole RMT mess as a pox on the game, so I see you as such. My constructive addition is no different than yours. It is directed at what I see as a serious problem with the Eve gaming community: a loud, obnoxious, and short-sighted legion of forum warriors that think they speak for the playerbase; a community that has raised butthurt to nobel prize-winning levels.

What is so bad about RMT?

This^^^

You can already RMT by buying directly from CCP. This is the reason I find it impossible to give any less of a crap what somer does.

Genocide has been a part of humanity for a while. Just sayin'.

Yes.. lets compare Genocide to a website a few bucks from people playing internet spaceships..

Hmm.. don't over dramatise to much please

But you cant sell your ISK and get $$$Gé¼Gé¼Gé¼ and thats what SOMER is doing (and making people upset).

I think what he meant to said is that just because its a tradition doesnt mean its good.

And? I dont play Eve to make money...I play to have a good time. Why exactly should I care how much someone else in Eve makes outside the game? Besides it would hardly be worth it for the amount of $ they got/get anyways.

So you call over $250k hardly worth it?
The issue is that while it is 100% L3G1T for them to do it other people using the same mechanic get threatened and banned.

Estimates put SOMER real life income at between $4700 and $7500 a month. Since a guy will kill you on the street for whatever is in your wallet, I'd say its worth it.

That's between 2.8 trillion and 4.5 trillion ISK per month at current PLEX, if you're keeping track. Or, you know, a brand new car every 3-4 months.

$250k.. that's weird as a few days ago it was a $135k over 2 1/2 year period..

Wow that has gone up..

Yes but they had until recently two deals (shattered crystal + markee dragon) at the same time and the $135k is just the figure for the shattered crystal part.

So you just made up the figure then of $250k?
