Goons are successful.

Tuskers are trustworthy.

CCP give them free stuff too.

Stick to your guns CCP, these things are just pixels.

Some of you need to take a break from EVE, find a girl (or guy, whatever) and "get some".

Tired line is tired.. I got some last night and this morning and still find this to be dumb. Should I have went for a third time would that have changed my attitude towards them doing something ridiculously dumb like this?


Tried is sans blow up doll next time.

It's just pixels folks. I guess we are over due for the community to get it's collective panties in a twist about something though.

Thanks OP for bringing this up to my attention.

Clearly this is the beggining of another (legitimate) scandal.

Do I now have to live in constant fear that all my hard work and money spent, will go down the drain as you, CCP, let your amazing Marketing Department dictate all the promotions? I understand that this is more of a personal plea, but this is how desperate we are.

Please heed our pleas. Please don't do this.[/b]

hey isn't it funny that Navigator claims that people will play blink anyway regardless of whether they have a chance to win a priceless ship literally worth whatever the richest collector is willing to pay for it or not

oh wait blink's own stats indicate a massive activity spike which correlates with the announcement what a shock

It's great to see CCP can still deliver, just when I thought they'd played all their bad decision cards.

I think CCP has a whole lot of stupid hidden when they started saving it up during monoclegate.

If they really wanted to bring back the golden magnate, I'd have less of a problem if they did it in a way that actually required effort on the part of the players, and wasn't so suspect. This feels like it's very close to the T2 BPO lottery. The answer to Q7 in the devpost also worries me.

Q1, Why have this event?

A1, This is probably the most pertinent question so the answer will be long. Community engagement, be it through a player meet up, live event arc, tournament or giveaway is extremely important for keeping players happy and providing content in other ways than flying, plotting and killing on Tranquility. We constantly look at which of our partners are running major initiatives and find ways to make them into super events whenever we can. With this event we are doing a couple of things. Firstly, we are bringing back old content which has been missing for some time and introducing new items which have previously been unavailable.



If the end goal of this **** is to create content, it will fail at a tremendous level. Everybody know these ships will end up collecting dust in hangars. If you want people to be able to have centent, amke it so it will be played with like a new ship with the Guardian-Vexor for example that can be player produced. That way it generates content because some people will actaully use them. There is absolutely no content provided by every single current Guardian Vexor in the game and addind 4 more will not "fix" that. All it will do is add 4 entry to the database for the existance in some hangar of 4 more copy of this borderline useless ship because undocking it is pretty much a suicide anyway.

If you want to add content, make it content player will use. Not some ******** collectible that will at most be undocked 3 times in the next 10 years.

Q6, So how can you be assured that SOMER Blink won’t just make sure all of this goes to their alts?

A6, I can’t. Once again we go back to the trust issue. Having worked with SOMER for some time now I asked myself, ’Could they game this so they gets the cool stuff?’ Yep, they absolutely could. ‘Can we prevent it?’ No, we absolutely can’t. ‘Do I believe they would cheat to win it for themselves?’ I genuinely do not believe they will. SOMER Blink have been one of the most philanthropic groups in EVE.

It is safe to say that they can buy anything that is for sale and money is no object yet, despite that, everyone I have interacted with there is humble, gracious and honest. I honestly believe that this blast will be fun and fair for all who enter. All prizes awarded will be done so using Chribba’s Dice.


not happy about that part at all. No player corp should be given exclusive rights for distribution of special items in Eve whatsoever. Doesnt matter wether its Somer, Goons, or any other player driven corp within the sandbox. The worrying part is CCP admit that Somer could fix it, and that CCP could do nothing to stop it. That speaks volumes to me.


QFT.

This is pretty much how I feel about this. I don't agree it should be given out in this fashion. I am ok with these ships being re-released, but I can not support the way in which they will be given out.

It makes perfect sense for ccp to hand these out to a player driven enterprise. You whiners are forgetting how much of eve is player driven.

How many of you nerds would be whining if ccp gave these ships to YOU to hand out after you'd shown yourself to be trustworthy?
