You did a great job of reading absolutely none of the thread and then making a broad, incorrect generalization about it. Except that I did read it, and made a correct assessment of the general tone of the thread.
you mean attacking the motivations of the people complaining instead of the complaint? misrepresenting the complaint? that's not an 'assessment', that's fallacious garbage. |

that's lovely. and i didn't say otherwise.
Remiel Pollard wrote:and it's no different from any other witch hunt I've been privy to. Fallacious garbage? Can you say "irony"? Because you just described the entire thread. Which I did read and assess correctly, and that includes examining Somer's Blink Credit page.
This is "Grr Somer". That's all this is.
you attacked the motivations of the thread's participants twice and misrepresented the complaint twice before even acknowledging what you believe is a flawed premise, that blink credits can be equated to a real ingame isk value. |

yes, you use isk to buy credit
no, you can't convert credit to isk, you need to win a lottery using the credit. it's reckoned that somer pays out eighty percent of the isk it makes
Quote:I gave the thread and its sensationalist posters the acknowledgement they deserved. I don't need to explain myself to you though. Who are you that I do?
you entered the thread with fallacious comments and you're continuing to use them. you don't need to explain yourself to anyone... unless you want to be taken seriously. |

He's describing the actual lottery and the effects of the buy-out margins, not the PLEX buy-back scheme. Yes, the lottery is a scam. All lotteries are GÇö that's how they make money. That's something quite separate from the affiliateGåÆcreditGåÆbuybackGåÆISK cycle though.
i'd thought somer's 'plex credit' was used to swap the PLEX for somer isk credit to the value of jita PLEX price plus thirty million. it's actually swapped for actual isk. gosh. |
