"Tin foil" my ass. They're just trying to make as much money as they can before they have to stop, and people are helping them. Most people don't understand what RMT is, and probably don't care, as demonstrated by the misconception shown here in this thread the CCP itself engages in it with its own PLEX system. All of this is beside the point that RMT -- running a for-profit business out of the game -- is against the EULA and always has been. There's nothing tin foil about that.

Sounds like they want to keep their server running for as long as possible before they have to start begging for donations.

Do you even lift?

CCP 'engages' in it themselves by owning the game, and being its developer, and collecting sub fees.

And what is wrong with that? CCP is clearly allowing this. As they are allowing other "community" sites to pay in ISK for services which bring them ad revenue xD

Actually CCP is clearly giving people time to shut down, not time to exploit the system.

Also a large part of the problem is that CCP allowed this to begin with, allowing a income seeking business to set up a 'redacted' operation within EvE in the first place.

Two step solution.

Post a warning that RMT is a banhammer offence. Then permaban SOMER and everyone involved with the RMT side.

Offer an amnesty for anyone that bought RMTed Blink credits, with no consequence, as a one-off 'we turned a blind eye to this cheating so it isn't your fault.'

Given a server that would easily run Somers activities is $250 a month and they have already made over $135,000 they have already gotten enough money to run their server for 45 years. They hardly need more money for server costs.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I don't care. I like SOMER, and I know what's transpired, and I don't care. I bought a tonne of GTC, not because I needed it, not because of the bonus, but because I love how butthurt everyone is about them. I've never seen anyone in this game extract as many tears as they have. As far as I'm concerned, if they wanna RMT, like I mean REAL RMT, not this interpretation of RMT that everyone is concocting for their vendetta against SOMER, they've earned it.

And while I'm being honest, this whole kerfuffle over SOMER just seems like a bunch of butthurts who lost too much money playing it and are now on a vendetta to destroy them in any way they can.

They spent all their money giving out free plex to advertise at Vegas. That investment probably won't pay too many dividends.

So for your tonne of cash you got a bigger pile of in game isk to go with it.

And you dont see why that would be a problem? or how one business doing that means that real community sites cannot actually fund their servers from GTC sales?
