There is a lot of vulnerable people who play eve, all this advertisement and the constant news updates on gambling and gambling events, promotions etc etc.. is making me sick.. its surly a negative/illness being introduced upon a lot of compulsive vulnerable eve players..
I've spoke to a few people about this on teamspeak, and heres some of the stories i've heard..
Take this story for instance
- One guy who sounded about 17 has spent all his ingame isk and has bought multiple game time codes via blinks affiliate link to get an isk bonus and to also sell them on the time code forum.
Ok, so think about this... isn't this affectivly real money gambling? of an underaged person? Im sure if this was taken to court CCP would lose! due to all the promotions and enticements ccp are doing to get people involved in gambling AND TO SELL PLEX!
Heres another story
- A player was introduced into real money gambling via the corruption of blink and eohpoker, he thought he could make money more easier to buy gtc for isk with rather than just gambling isk.. This has resulting in the player losing 1000's of rk money!!
The above story has been confessed by multiple corpies and friendlys and i have also done the above one and lost around 100 pound. I felt sick / depressed afterwards..
My point is! this.. CCP are effectively encouraging gambling with these 3rd parties at the expence of making players addicted ro gambling so they can make an extra BUCK!!! This is wrong!
I don't like the direction this game is taking,
p.s not proof read.. to tired to check spelling and grammer

It's not that they are encouraging gambling. It's that they are allowing stupidity. If you want a company to hold your hand, WOW is always looking for new players. Mr Epeen 
Well i would agree with you but this is different, its all effectively happening out of game! it has nothing to do with eves game mechanics nor in the EULA, your comment is stupid and invalid.

I don't think CCP should have any responsibility in this area. They are promoting what is to be considered a fun game that is played with fake money.
NO they are not! they are promoting SOMER who are effectivly promoting BUY GTC on a gambling page!! when people lose there somer credits they go spend real money on a gtc!! this is real money gambling!! just like when you deposit money on a gambling site and it then turns into a virtual currency!!
Its just like buying a scratch card to win a car or a holiday!!! people are buying gtc to do it!! its real gambling and CCP are in real trouble with the lawif this is brought to light.
CCP knows exactly what they're involved with and is probably why they're promoting it through a 3rd party..
CCP needs to be carefull in this area!! i can see a court case appearing and winning!
To solve this problem, CCP has to deny 3rd party gambling of isk!

Why you think? didn't CCP give Somer eve vegas holidays to be won through gambling? and say i bought GTC to try win. That by law is real gambling and requires a license..

You wouldn't have done 4 pages of nonsense without knowing that ... RIGHT?
*edit* otherwise all your doing is paying money to play SOMER Blink the gambling game...
People cashed out when CCP gave holidays to vegas as prizes!!

Your assets are never at risk at all, except as defined in the game as 'your assets'. But you don't have any real life assets at risk.
You say, "But they'll buy more and more GTCs, isn't that risk?"
That's buying too much stuff, not gambling. There is no risk involved at all - they pay and there is no way they get anything out of it. What they get out of it is either Blink credit or owned by CCP.
So people didn't get holidays to vegas out of it then?
