That's CCP's way of handling problems....has been for years. Cool

The resolution is this.

Everyone put this down in your calenders: I'm agreeing with the goons.

CCP, this is utter bullshit. I mean, seriously, did you learn nothing about the fact the players don't like it when you pick winners?

Hell, you erased four hundred million from my account when you deleted a bunch of rare items and replaced them with a t2 versions. That was pretty ******. But this? WTF?

It is apparently a cold day in hell, because I am also in agreement with the Goons and Cygnet. CCP, if by some random chance you are listening, please stop doing this sort of thing- You used to be a cut above the typical MMO devs, and stuff like this is really beneath you. You -can- do better.

Maybe out beloved CSM members can point out their outrage in this thread or even in blog posts about Somers 'redacted' actions?

So wonderful at abusing players, shame they are of no use at all when we actually need them.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Is Somer gonna get a Nestor to 'raffle' before anyone else too?

No. Not the Nestor.

It will be some sort of "Special Edition Super Nestor"

Roll

Cut the crap, CCP. End this atrocious process.

Relevant to this review:

A lead GM has said to me, via petition response, that CCP allows scams in player-run events with CCP-provided prizes, even when those prizes are uniques and the event is endorsed by a dev.
Now I won't criticize a GM for a response to a specific case, but I will say that the review of player giveaways should take into account that if an event is (1) announced in the news (2) with official details provided by a dev instead of a player-run organisation and (3) endorsed by a dev, that certainly gives the appearance that CCP is involved in the event beyond merely providing prizes. It is a bit disheartening for a player to hear from a GM later that "scams are not in breach of the rules, so too bad you got screwed in this event". (That's not an exact quote btw, but the message is the same.)

Hey CCP, I'll take 100's of billions of ISK for free also!

I'll even give some away to my alts, er.. friends, er... winners.


Just when I was getting back into EvE you want to drive me away again? Get your head out of your asses.

Does the CSM even have an official stance on this whole thing, other than the "stop whining" one we got before they realised this is in fact RMT and a RL business?

I believe the CSM have opted to take whatever stance CCP tell them to.

WOW. This is unethical, and morally bankrupt. That's the problem with this town... too many damned vampires.

Vote with your accounts, it's the only language they'll listen to. Letting my accounts expire as I see no point in a sandbox that isn't a sandbox. Favoritism makes the whole thing meaningless.

I've cancelled my recurring subs and put a brief description and link to a couple of the relevant topics.

I can still moan on the forums until it runs out :)
