I don't understand why this somehow revolves around us.


The idea that "if Somer gets it, Goons should" that has been put forward (rather rightfully, I feel the same way about Brave Newbies) has some idiots actually believing that goons want something out of it, instead of wanting CCP to revoke what they have given to others and to stop giving **** out to "awesome 3rd party community services".

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. I let all edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

i still dont see how people are upset about this.

honestly

tech II bpo at a time before invention... sure

making me look at a door instead of a station... you betcha

giving out legacy items from eve lore... well ok kinda

making a ship that has no real value and is just a dust collector to give out as prizes and to people who they want to thank for promoting the game... QuestionQuestionQuestion

just dont see the rage on the last one.

the only reason i can see is there is some sort of entitlement issue here.

this is what happens from a generation of every one wins i guess.

go look at the price history of the item. go check the sell orders subforum. you're seriously trying to argue that it has no value?

how does it gain said value?

can it not be bought and sold for any value the owner wants?

as more are given away as prizes and such will its value not deminish as per the supply demand chart?

have you like hedged your wealth in the buying and selling of rareish ships and are now upset that the special scorp could loose value?

still not getting it.

and why is it selling for 20b?

sit on that one for a while...

was a big assumption that there was only a limited number of ships... and rich niche collectors were willing to pay that much?

tbh the ship only has as much value as one is willing to pay for it...

that is it...

that can be 0 all the way up to infinity.

so no its not 20 billion isk.

I would like to say that this is a shocking and unprecedented show of CCP acting moronically.

Sadly it isn't true.

To quote myself during the "$1000 jeans" debacle:

"CCP Says : This is our swimming pool. We are going to **** in the pool. You can stay in the pool or you can get out of the pool. But we are still going to **** in the pool."

So your argument is that nothing has value. good argument.
