What did CCP gain, hypothetically, from this supposed favouritism?
If the CEO wants to give his kid a 7mil EHP 99% resist 10k/s frigate with 15 slots per rack and 50K DPS and have his writers create lore that an EVE capsuleer god has been mysteriously pooped out of the Nth dimension, so what? Would be kind of cool. Big fleet battle, suddenly the EVE Kraken God appears, and everyone runs for the hills. Like the sandworms in Dune 2 ;-)
Where does it say CCP cannot do whatever the hell they want? EULA's, as a rule, are about the licensor being protected, not the troglodytes who actually buy the product.
What I'm basically saying is: so what?
And please, hold the Ad Hominems with regards to my person when answering. Enough rage in this thread as is.
A corpie of mine wrote:Somer Blink is converting ISK to real money by offering the incentive of higher prices for buying Plex from players who had previously clicked a link to buy Plex which allowed Somer to receive commission from that Plex sold.
If they simply offered to buy any Plex at higher than market orders then the argument loses water, but instead Somer is using their in game ISK to incentivize players to buy Plex from them, thereby increasing the volume of commissions Somer receives.
From a business point of view this is brilliant and if anyone has won Eve it's Somer, but the issue is they are the only entity currently allowed to do this by CCP and a normal player has no way to do the same operation with their personal ISK.
So if CCP wants to allow *any* entity in game with tonnes of ISK (can't imagine *WHO* that might be) to start making real dollars, yen, centavos or whatever off their game then they don't address this.
Somer went too far this time. Bob is the god of Wormholes.

Shouldn't the community manager at least to pretend to care about what the community thinks? And I love how you opted to answer this among all the outstanding questions in this thread. You clearly have the communities best in mind. Edit: The back pating post would be ok and well deserved. If there was any actual progress. I hope so - it would be a return to days of old when the Dev's told the whiny brats off every once in awhile.

Sketchy Bob wrote:Oh yes, customers should just shut up and pay their salary. Thank you for your input. Yeah, sometimes the customer *isn't* right.
Sometimes the customer is a whiny, entitled brat and needs to be told to stfu for awhile. Every once in awhile (as with Dinsdale's whining) it's a good idea to prune the tree of entitlement. Bob is the god of Wormholes.

Sketchy Bob wrote: I was stating that I don't agree that Falcons focus should be in patting CSM's back rather than focusing on figuring this somers bs out and Falcon came with attitude that isn't really fitting a community manager.
He's doing what he can within the NDA and you and I disagree on what his "attitude" should be.
I think he's fine. Bob is the god of Wormholes.
