I've come up with a great idea too.
1. For each $19 you send me via PayPal, you get 1 (one) TritCredit.
2. You know how those noobships always have one unit of Tritanium inside? Annoying as hell. Therefore, for every TritCredit you have, you can contract one noobship+trit to me, and I will buy the Tritanium at a slighly above market rate (let's say 1 billion ISK).
3. Since this is just a convenience service for people who don't want to fly their trit to Jita themselves, just like SOMER buying PLEX at an inflated price, it's perfectly above board.
I don't know anyone at CCP so somebody please call their pals and tell me how much of a bribe cut I'll have to offer to get this scheme signed off on.

I really just don't get the whines.
I just want to get CCP to approve my turn-ISK-into-IRL-money scheme too.

Maybe you'd like to put some evidence forward, because I'm pretty sure rumor mongering is forbidden.

That's what Somer, Evenews24 and TMC are doing, they jump thru some hoops to get there, but the end result is the same.
No, RMT = selling ingame assets or ingame services for IRL money.

That's right. However, the mail chain that Somer published in his defense (and in violation of the ToS, I might add) doesn't actually defend him - in fact, it shows that what he got approved by CCP doesn't match what he actually implemented later. (Also since this isn't a criminal trial, we don't need evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, and the evidence we do have suggests that the fault lies with Somer.)

Brahan Seer wrote:What if Somer is guilty and maliciously thought she had a loophole to make money and sell isk or whatever. has that personally affected you? Would her doing RMT out weigh the good SomerBlink has done for the community and players? If it doesn't out weigh the good how do you punish? Because realistically if you ban somer a lot of parties get punished by proxy. Is that nessesarily fair? No. But it's the reality of the situation.
No, Somer RMTing hasn't affected me. Neither has Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme, and he was quite widely known as a philantropist as well. Still doesn't mean he didn't break the rules and shouldn't be punished for it.

Brahan Seer wrote:Thats a pretty big stretch don't yeah think? like come on man :/
He gave millions to cancer research, I think that's a lot more charitable than sponsoring imaginary spaceship events. Then again, Somer probably didn't steal from his employees' retirement funds.
Brahan Seer wrote:So do what was done last time. Just don't have the plex service. maybe ding the somer corp wallet for the isk and be done with it. Would that not be the fairest corse of action without hurting the community that plays somer?
How often is Somer allowed to RMT before it outweighs his positive contributions to the community? You probably don't know him, but Elusif gave a lot of ISK to Goonwaffe members as christmas presents. For some reason CCP still thought that he should be banned for RMT.

It's more likely that the reason they get hammered is that THEY ARE BLATANTLY IMPLEMENTING A SCHEME WHERE THEY OFFER INCENTIVES LINKED TO BUYING GTCS AFTER GETTING TOLD LESS THAN A YEAR AGO THAT THEY CAN'T OFFER INCENTIVES LINKED TO BUYING GTCS

This isn't a criminal trial. You don't have to prove things beyond a reasonable doubt here.

Cryo Kool wrote:There needs to be some minimum evidence standard or players will have the impression there is no due process involved in permanently banning their account.
But here's the thing: due process is not necessary anyway. CCP can ban you anyway for saying your favorite food is raspberry yogurt.
Now I'm not saying it isn't a good idea to look impartial to your players, but in the end you (and me, and pretty much everyone posting in this thread) aren't involved, so, in accordance with their policies, I don't expect CCP to publicly post evidence or the outcome of the investigation anyway.

Sure, and I'm not saying CCP should ban people willy-nilly, or just because there's angry people posting on the forums. But nothing requires CCP to have an air-tight case. If they decide that it's more likely that Somer intentionally tried to deceive them, that's a perfectly fine reason to take action.

That's because you haven't read the thread, or even parts of it, not even the blue posts. That is the reason why you're repeating the same old arguments, which have already been debated to death again, and again, and then once more.

He wasn't going to pay for GTC codes, he'd buy PLEX (the ingame item). But only one for every PLEX code you bought via his affiliate link. Since PLEX are fungible, he wouldn't care where you got that exact PLEX you're giving him, just that the number in the contract matches the amount you bought from Markee Dragon.
