EVE General Discussion

It's not particularly unlikely, no. In fact, it's rather to be expected.

I don't see how it is even fun.

If anything, I'd rather play EOH poker if i wanted to waste my time/isk

I am not sure it stands to reason that so many would be complaining so much. I think most of the sore losing and whining and such, are in a context where the person feels they were unfairly slighted. ...
what if MOST of the people who lose in blink, understand the nature of it and just accept their losses as fair and part of the deal, and just move on?




that was at the start. since then I've so far put in about 300m more, and won a few frigates and 50m or so ISK in cash.
... which means by my figuring, I'm just a little bit above breaking even.

even in this case, over time, the statistics work out to be much less incredible.

if a person put down one ticket on one blink, won, and stopped, they have won 100% and greatly increased their money. this isn't THAT statistically impossible. just unlikely.

coming out ahead on blink is all about getting lucky enough to get a starting point, and keeping ahead of the odds ironing out that wrinkle.

keep on shilling baby, keep on shilling

if you're stupid enough to believe whatever they tell you, even when logic tells you it is a scam, then I guess you deserve to be scammed you stupid sheep.

cheers!

How so? An organization with no oversight, no regulation, no records, no confirmable information, no transparency, and nothing, absolutely nothing verifiable (positive or negative). In a game based on greed, scamming, and the infinite variety of pvp. But this one is somehow different. Nobody has answered the most basic question, why do you trust someone you know nothing about? Would you trust anyone else in eve based on the same lack of information? It boggles the mind.

at first I didn't.
at first, I started with an amount of money that I might be willing to give away, and expected that I very well might have been doing precisely that.
I tested the waters to see if for example, I actually received payment when I requested it, that ships were delivered when they should be, ect.

and you know what? they were. any delays were quite reasonable, and the apparent odds over time, seemed to be within reasonable variation of luck, according to the presented circumstances.

in MY opinion, by my personal judgement, (which I do not expect or ask anyone to take my word or accept my judgement as conclusive) the most rational, logical case, is that they stand to gain more by keeping it legitimate, than they would by cheating.

another factor would be the difficulty in cheating. some forms of cheating would be easy, but the easy ways would be rather visible. doing it in a way that would not be obvious, would take ENORMOUS amounts of work. why spend all that energy when you can make more money more reliably, without doing that work?

ultimately, between my own personal experience, and the fact that I have seen absolutely no evidence that they are cheating, I see no reason why to think they are.

It's CCP allowed "botted" if you will isk.

It's all automated... and they make a profit.

Them macro miners are badddddd but HUGE auto isk making like blink and **** CCP allows it's kinda lol.

I won 6b isk. But I broke the rules. I made alts. I had 1b in winnings pending when my accounts were closed. After I convoed a Blink rep, they sent me my winnings, although they kept my accounts closed.

I can never play Blink again, but it's a something I can live with, since it means I beat the house. Rather unfortunate for Somer actually because I was going to buy 4 GTCs from their affiliate to play more Blink since I knew eventually I would lose.

I will vouch for Blink. It's addictive, it's fun as hell, and it's legitimate.

i can offer nothing but my own experience...

i think its a scam of sorts.

Some people have massive win %, ive seen like 80% win rate on 200 blinks with only 3bil deposited.

Im not saying its a terrible game, but its definately not "fair" as they claim. Its not randomly won... and the "bonk" has been won 3 times by the same guy... the chances of that are crazy.

It is addicting and hats off to them for cashing in on that...

I joined blink with my main, lost 1bil and then convoed a somer blink guy in their channel. after telling him that i would deposit more isk if i won a few more... i magically won 2 promo blinks and a proteus and 3 smaller ships without a single loss...

It might be conincidence and juts gambling... but something doesnt smell right

if you have to ask;

If you are playing EVE, its a scam lol
