screw this bunch of whiney bitches.



You're such a phenomenal diplomat for CCP. I'd like to applaud your absolutely sophomoric "too tough to care" brand of apathy and htfu approach to quelling player concerns.

I'm sure a great majority of the players airing their concerns give a single "F" about how you think they should handle it. I'm sure you'll agree.

You have the charm of a bitter drunkard and an avatar whos face looks the role as well. There appears to be many miles on your face. Marlboro miles. Avatars are a reflection of self to a degree.

How will you address the concern that you are effectively giving a for-profit player entity a major windfall due to increased revenue from players hoping to get these prizes?

You know, all that stops us from being the new BoB is having CCP gift us T2 BPOs.

I'm sure you'd vigorously defend CCP if they did such a thing.

This isn't eve 2007, Goons *are* the new Band of Brothers (you guys still have the alliance name stashed away, don't you?) and you don't need t2 bpos.

Yeah, no. *Nothing* is stopping you (not even yourselves) from being the new Band of Brothers: The Goon Years, because you are taking it that serious.

Way to go guys.


Are you retarted or something?

People went crazy over the T20 thing because it was effectively cheating. Giving free **** away to certain groups and not others gives them a distinct advantage in game. This is no different...

Oh wait, thats right, CCP is making money off of SommerBlink... So I guess its okay then right?

**** THAT, I want to enjoy a game where I know everyone is on the same playing field.

Am I the only one to think that Somer and CCP are treading on thin ice?

If, as I suspect, people are buying PLEX to gamble on Blink, then surely Somer starts to fall into the realms of regulated online betting?

This promo suggest to me that CCP have noticed how much extra revenue Blink is drawing in and are actively encouraging it.

I know there's no legal way to turn ISK back into currency, but I'd be surprised if regulators didn't take a dim view of Somer if a few problem gamblers started to appear.

A) - I diplo for no-one other than myself since 2008.
B) - "Player Concerns" are fine, but this is no Incarna/T20 (This made 31 pages in 3 days, Incarna made that overnight? Can't be bothered to look, then it went another 130 pages?).
C) - I do agree.
D) - I don't drink
E) - Avatar ****? That's what you got?
F) - Because Legacy Pixels are that important.

I signed up for somer blink the other day and made a quick 1.6b profit. So it's safe to say I love those *******...unsure if they will get any more of my money (I'm the guy who wins at the blackjack table then walks out of the casino).

Still, you would have to be functionally...limited...to not realise the negative impacts of favouritising one group.

Why couldn't a simple, rational solution be found? PLEX for _____ fund and all proceeds from lottery go there? I mean you're still depending on the trustworthiness of Somer Blink, but at least you're not handing them (unneeded if you take CCP's word for it) trillions of isk. Since Somer is so ridiculously rich anyways, it's not like they would miss the isk by donating the proceeds.

Hellmar said in that dev blog, "In 2007, we faced a similar crisis of confidence, and it resulted in the creation of the CSM." Not consulted in this matter, so maybe CCP forgot.

Oh, and some of us actually do look like our avatars. I don't have a lot of miles on my face; I just look like that.

Gimme a unique T2 Khanid battleship called the Castigator and I'd be willing to forget all this happened.

Everyone wins the first billion back, why do you think so many think it's a giant scam?

It's the same as electronic spread betting, except it's unregulated.

After checking your post history I think the only one with a gaping anal cavity would be you. Also, posting on an alt to insult a group is quite cowardly. If you wanna go hardcore post on a main and backup your smack.

I'm serious. You aren't getting any respect for smacking on the alt. No one knows your main to give you credit and not a soul knows or cares about this alt.

No, you are not the only one completely missing the point. Many people in this thread lack basic literacy skills. You are not suffering alone.

CCP gave their answer already - it failed to address any of the important points, such as somer being an in-game, for-profit entity, or the fact that somer ban players from entry at their discretion and using policies that are not dictated by CCP, etc

CCPs answer is very much "eff you guys, we're going to just wait until it blows over"

nice approach, really

ps dear ccp here's the cancellation of my accounts, and don't expect me to play any other games you guys make

Holy **** -- 31 pages?

I generally avoid even commenting on anything to do with you ******* retards but I can't help myself.

Someone go back and look to see how many unique posters are in this thread. I am betting it is 200 or less.

So 200 of you neckbeards are so ******* upset with CCP that you are going to unsub and ragequit forever. Guess what? CCP is profit driven and they will sell more plex by giving these prizes to Somer to give away than by appeasing you. No one really cares that your all mad because you don't get the same toy everyone else does.

SInce when has EVE been fair? Next thing you know you guys are going to want to make is so high security space is gank free and all the moon minerals are the same in null security so no one can have an advantage -- oh wait.

**** it. You guys win. All 200 of you.

If you look at the total number of unique posters on the forums, I'm betting it's about 800. So 25% of the forums are mad. That's a pretty big portion.
See I can make stuff up too. Big smile

Also you just highlighted a big point in all this: CCP wants to make money more than they want to keep the sandbox intact, listen to their customers or communicate with them, even after founding the CSM.
