EVE General Discussion

somer blink are super generous for giving some plex and blink credits (lol) to people participating in a PvP tournament, of course

we should clearly deposit all of our isk and play blink to the end of time and empty our checking accounts into his markee dragon affiliate link in recognition of his generosity, and CCP should give Somerset Mahm GM powers

that is the only fair way to praise him for being so generous, giving away so many petty prizes to people without the clear goal of promoting his lottery site

You really need to work on being less obvious with the Straw Man stuff.

You said they don't get anything in game for doing Eve Vegas. They're getting a shitload of in game stuff from Somer.

That you think people shouldn't use Somer is separate from you being incredibly wrong.

I think the fact that there are NO Gold Magnates on TQ is dumb.

Just dumb.

What a waste of a ship / model.

If nobody has one I don't see how giving them to players is a problem.

btw - I already have a Guardian-Vexor. You can check my hanger in Malia. I could give a rat's ### who else has one. It's ridiculous to maintain ships nobody can use. At the very least CCP should think about just slapping a new skin on some of the Alliance Tournament ships and release them to the wider player base.

All these people complaining about old unique ships... it just doesn't make sense to me. Most of you don't have one... so why would you reduce your chances of ever getting one?

You're forgetting - he likes Eve Vegas, so being okay with them getting CCP endorsement and in-game benefits from that endorsement isn't hilariously stupid in his world view.

or are you just trolling at this point

frankly i'd be pretty embarrassed if i was trying to discredit somebody because of one part of their post based on something that i have presented zero evidence for, like the organizers of eve vegas being given in-game benefits for running that event

i guess some people have no shame

What a total ******* joke. Even Blink has now scammed CCP Game is total ******* waste now.

yes it is too easy, because they're literally down to arguing that I should also be upset over CCP sponsoring eve vegas because there's a possibility that they'll receive in-game benefits, and that being that people might send the organizer ISK as thanks for organizing the event

I am utterly shocked by the amount of people flooding in to defend this.

Are they just all somer alts, or do they not actually understand how games and competition works?

It is catastrophic for the owner/developer of a game to provide one certain player or team a gigantic advantage over every other just because hey we like that player/team.

To anyone trying to justify this, or saying it isn't an issue: You're playing EVE, so it's a certainty that there is another player or corporation who is competing with you. Perhaps someone has war decced you in the past? Or perhaps they've competed with your ship building/selling business? Somewhere along the lines you have competed against another player or group, right? Well now imagine CCP handed that group priceless assets, that they then used as part of their competition against you.

Or, for a different example, imagine your favourite sports team. They're playing against their rivals, and the ref steps in and says "hey just because I can, I'm giving Rival Team 10 extra points".


Now do you see the problem?

This is in no way at all acceptable or justifiable, it simply isn't.

This is the awnsering machine of CCP. At this moment we are not arround. Please post a message to this forum and we will just ignore it. Thank you.

I've seen this happen before.

"Oh whoops. Didn't have time to answer posts because of devroam."
"Oh look at that it's the weekend, time for some time off."
"Oh would you look at that the raffle is happening in a few hours. Too late to change anything now. Sorry bros."
This is how I imagine this will go.
