If CCP wants to seed those ships via lottery, they could make one themself!
When all the old stuff with devs/t2BPO was going on it was unfair.
So what does make this OK?
Seems equaly unfair as the old T2BPO seeding was.

I am outraged that goonswarm was not chosen for free isk. Especially after our long history of CCP siding with our enemies when it comes to free t2 bpos and pos warfare mechanics. When is it going to be our turn to be CCP's favorite?

This is actually totally worse, because they are giving them to ONE entity, and hoping that ONE entity can be trusted to hand out these items in a fair manner.

This could just be done with Research Points like the t2 bpo lottery. In fact, why dont we just do that? I've got however many years of RP built up from when the lottery ended, so that should be the totally fair method that decides we get free isk.

sommer is fraud, sommer is laundering botting money, sommer creates gambling addiction AND allowing to play out of the normal browser turns people AWAY from logging in to EVE!

Ban those casinos, delete t2 bpos from the game

Perhaps while you're handing out free stuff to people you like you could hand us the keys to Jove space or something. We can put renters there.

Seriously CCP, it's cool, we never mind when you hand trillions of isk in advantage to a group in a cut throat pvp based game. Seems legit.

I am just really sickened by the fact that one of Somer Blink's alts will get the ship.

Somer Blink is such a scam in of itself. And it really surprises me that CCP fell for the scam.

Oh well, I thought the Goons had pulled off some massive scams in the past.

You are the TOP DOG now on scams, Somer Blink.

I wonder if CCP can petition CCP on a scam after it is revealed to be a scam.?

If you give me a shiny ship and batlec1 a Megathron Federate Issue, I'll be ok with this lottery. He really loves that ship.

Plus to get a T2 BPO you had to grind up some standings, wait while you collected a bunch of research points then log in EVERY DAY to check your evemail just hoping against hope today is the day. Compared to just accepting a contract because a dev likes you that's all mega effort.

e: I forgot you also had to fly over to the research agent if you did get a BPO. All that's like the twelve labours of Hercules compared to being handpicked for trillions because some dev took a shine to you.

While I entirely agree that CCP is showing blatant favouritism by giving their items to a corporation, It is patently obvious that if they're going to show favouritism to a corporation they should do so by a better decision making process than that shown here.

Let's compare the two

SomerBlink
Positives
Gives money to already rich alliances as a marketing tool.

Negatives
Promotes gambling, an addictive activity that destroys families and lives.
Distracts hundreds or thousands of players from in game content (albeit if you're distracted by somer blink when MINILUV blow up your freighter or mining ship then that's actually a positive so keep doing that).


GoonSwarm
Positives
Creates content on a daily basis
Brings new players to the game
Gives those players wealth and the tools to support themselves
Drives awareness of the game in mainstream and gaming media
Most successful Alliance in Eve
Part of the most successful coalition in Eve

Negatives
Grr Goons

If for nothing else than the fact that Goonswarm do not promote addiction then we're clearly a more worthy recipient of CCP's largesse but when you take into account all of the positives as well, it's an overwhelming comparison.

Goonswarm: The obvious and ethical choice to receive trillions of isk from CCP.
