James Amril-Kesh 4S Corporation Goonswarm Federation 11261	Posted - 2014.08.21 04:32:00 - [481] - Quote Hakaari Inkuran wrote: James Amril-Kesh wrote: No, he made a stupid joke which is not nearly the same on the severity scale as encouragement. You have a weird definition of "joke". Just because it was tasteless, offensive, and unfunny doesn't meant it wasn't a joke. It's pretty clear that it was. If I were to actively attempt to drive someone over the brink I wouldn't make one offhand comment and then drop the subject entirely. Enjoying the rain today? ;)

If I am misinterpreting that than say so. Up to this point its only been confirmed which is ******* RMT. If I am mistaken say so instead of acting like children as per usual I admit it. I paid my $10 to join SA in 2004 just so I could get into Goonwaffe in the year of our Lord 2014. This is the sneakiest and most forward thinking RMT scheme ever. Also the longest queue to benefit. Also, it's 200% SRP.

I understand the theory behind referrals is to help community sites (such as Dotlan, or EVE University with their Wiki) offset costs of operation, something that CCP wishes to do as it helps both with exposure of the product as well as makes the community a richer place. So with the elimination of ETC and the movement to PLEX exclusively, what is stopping a change in referral links to act the same way 21 day trial referrals work? I want to support a community site, and when I click on their referral link, I am directed to the EVE Account Management page, where I can purchase a PLEX and the referring site gets credit for their referral. What is preventing this scenario from becoming reality? @CCP, read this very thoroughly and think about it. This would solve so many problems at once. About CCP's decision and handling the Somer incident, good, you actually gained some trust points. The CSM proved they are worth their money ;), no pun intended. Great work CSM keep it up and we may see more players starting to vote again and gain confidence in you. "It's easy to speak for the silent majority.

Montey Haul Republic University Minmatar Republic 22	Posted - 2014.08.21 04:57:00 - [486] - Quote I think it's in pretty poor taste to rant over and over on someone that was given a huge grey area to operate in. For YEARs it was all fine. Now the petty trolls climb out of the woodwork and attack a part of the game that isn't even allowed a response in the same venue. Way to be righteous! Disrespect and low blows are what most folks expect when putting the truth in plain easy to read issues fail. Let's just continue to enjoy half the argument and call it non-biased. It's a game, there was an overwhelming show of favoritism and there will continue to be. Let's not call an apple an orange. Or if it makes you feel better.. do... Things got out of control. People with a long standing commitment to the EVE community were ridiculed and run out of the game. People have strong feelings on both sides and obviously not caring about how people address those feelings is not going to help anything at all. Somer blink was a long standing part of the Eve community right or wrong that is true. Somer and staff all put a lot of hours to develop and entertain a lot of EVE players... <-Also true. If RMT is even a provable issue here is and where the concern should be placed. Not on picking needlessly at all the things that have no bearing on what actually happened.

Out of curiosity, do you not think that since 2008 (and before) CCP haven't bothered to look into or determine if it is RMT? And if so, do you not recognize that they were ok with it going on despite it being your own personal classification of RMT? LeeSsang. Never Forget.

Great work CSM keep it up and we may see more players starting to vote again and gain confidence in you. Well, to attack my own position from earlier: CCP currently only has currency related to PLEX flowing one direction, in. Whether it be a player, or a Third Party Retailer (3PR), they don't ever send out a single copper piece to anyone. When the Third Party Retailer pays out the referral, all they have to do is record the transaction on the books. They already make outgoing payments to CCP for the PLEX, and receive incoming payments when they sell to the end consumer. It is a tremendous leap from setting guidelines about how 3PR can satisfy referral links to doing it themselves. Currently the way things are, we have no say about how any of the referral income is spent; the recipient could use it on anything from server hosting, a weekly coffee, or even save it all up for a pizza party at fanfest. It is basically the same as donating to one of the community sites via Paypal, you are acting on good faith that they will do something you find appealing with the donation, but there really is little oversight. When I posted this, it was more to foster some discussion in the thread. After reading some of the more recent posts, It seems that opportunity has come and gone. I still like the theory of what I initially presented, I am just not certain (and this is from an outside observers perspective) that it could be implemented with any degree of satisfaction.

Goons are just SA members. We paid $10 to be a member of an Internet comedy forum community. Some of those SA members play EVE together. That's it.
Andski GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 11075	Posted - 2014.08.21 05:25:00 - [500] - Quote most alliances require microphones in order to join their fleets and thus get SRP i suppose that this is also RMT because microphones cost $10+ Twitter: @EVEAndski "It's easy to speak for the silent majority.

KayleInara GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 8	Posted - 2014.08.21 05:25:00 - [501] - Quote crimsonshank wrote: To join SA you pay $10, clearly stated you need to join SA in the video to join goons, correct me if I am wrong. I joined SA in 2004. I joined Goonwaffe in 2014. SA got no 'referral' bonus from Eve in any way when I joined Goonwaffe (note that I played Eve back in 2009, but not in Goonswarm). There is no 'monetary connection' between Eve and SA. Let me go with another tack. In order to play Eve, you need an internet connection. Unless you are getting it free somehow, you have to pay a company for that internet connection. Said company does not get paid a kickback from CCP or anyone else when I start playing Eve, even though that internet connection enables me to play. RMT means that someone gets real life $$ in their pocket for some sort of in-game action. This is not the case for either my cable company that provides my internet connection, or for my membership in SA - those entities would both get the money if I'd never even heard of Eve.

Unless you're Tom Hanks stuck in an airport, logging in generally requires you to have access to money stored in a bank, which tends to mean that you're a citizen of some kind of semi-civilized nation, which in turn means that you'll end up paying taxes in some form ore another. And that's pretty much a GÇ£country membershipGÇ¥ fee, just like the $10 for SA, so that's obviously RMT too. =ƒÿ¦ Ban the U.S., tbh.

Trisha Landers 24th Imperial Crusade Amarr Empire 16	Posted - 2014.08.21 05:32:00 - [506] - Quote CCP should ban corps that restrict membership based on nationality. It costs money to become a citizen of another nation just to be allowed to join a corp. You don't join SA in order to join Goons. That will likely get you podded and kicked from Goons. You join Goons if you're already a member of SA and also play EVE. Or you can just skip joining SA and pay an in-game referral fee to one of the many trustworthy Goonswarm recruitment officers. (basically any member of Goonswarm. They're all pretty stand up fellows I hear.)

I understand that this is the standard policy you are quoting. I just wondered. Could you bring this up in some meeting and decide if an exception should be made in this case? I'm not talking about just giving all his stuff to players. Maybe some of the really rare one of a kind ships he has could be used during events or something. If you wont give them out at least let them die in a blaze of glory as they were destined to do.
