If you think it violates the EULA, petition it. CCP are the gods of eve, if they say its fine then well its fine
The trick is that you have to buy a PLEX from the SOMER affiliate to get the extra isk. So they're making money from the referral and paying you more isk for buying through them.
I can't see CCP letting this one go, but then again the only thing I find consistent about how CCP enforces it's rules is that it's always consistently confusing. |

The difference is that one way you sell ISK for RM. The other way you use ISK to get RM. It may seem like a petty/trivial distinction but it woudn't be the first time the "how" matters just as much if not more than the end result.
EDIT:
To be more clear (or maybe just more verbose). Somer is earning money like many other for-profit websites. Ads and/or affiliate/referral links. That is legitimately earned RM. How they incentivize people to click those links is a separate matter (or at least I think that's a reasonable way to look at it)
You don't think incentivizing real money referral links with isk is RMT? |

I'm not sure I understand how you can argue that this isn't RMT.
It's basically: I'll give you isk if you use this link that gives me money. |

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.
"dismisses all the authorized PLEX dealers as RMT'ers"
That's what you got from reading this thread? |

Lrn2read, I shouldn't have to explain what I said, unless you're still learning basic English, in which case I apologise.
Maybe you missed the point where SOMER is essentially paying isk to people buying through them? Which is a bit different than other dealers.
And for future reference, don't preface an insult about learning basic English with "Lrn2read". It looks incredibly stupid. |

You really have to be incredibly vexatious to try to twist it the way you are trying to, I can think of no other reason to do so other than hating on Somer. As for me looking incredibly stupid, I don't really care how I look to someone who's incredibly stupid.
You don't have to win anything to get the extra isk from them. You buy through their referral and then you use that credit to sell the plex to them for a higher price than it goes for in Jita. |

Then give an example of somebody doing this and being stopped by CCP and I will whole heartily agree with you.
Why would anyone do this? They would get banned. Somer, on the other hand, might get a slap on the wrist. |
