You can compare them just fine if they are worth similar amounts of space money.

not when they're being given away in secret


some will be given in a public forum... some as a special thank you from ccp... its not ccp duty to tell you everytime they want to say thank you.

as i said entitlement.


Some will be given as a prize from a Tournament, a prize well earned that took skill and planning as well as cost to achieve.

Some however, will be given in a shushed voice, behind closed doors, breaking the ideals of the game, giving one side a definitive advantage, and for what? Community service?

No, instead of RVB, Chribba, The EVEmon or EFT developers, nether Goons, nor the major alliances in eve which have defined and molded the community of EVE.

They give it to a corp that runs a lottery. They don't even sort out the community, they just run a business.

CCP haven't just broken the ethics of the game, which is to do what you pretty much want to do. They broke it the wrong way

Well, in a sense, he's right there given that perspective. After all, the Scorp is actually worth something whereas the T2 BPO is not. Blink

Hey CCP, I understand you want to encourage people who do things to benefit the EVE community.....but, you really need to figure out a way to limit the impact that your gifts do to the rest of the game.

I mean, make them account bound, prevent them from being sold/traded/contracted, something like that. You get your nice "good job!" gift, the rest of the community doesn't get pissed when you hand out the equivalent of 30bil ISK.


They don't haz to be sold SOMERBlink offers ISK if you want that instead of your prize xD

entitlement works more than one way.

if somer blink gets 30 rare ships for just taking advantage of gambling.. then eve uni should get 100's for what they have done over the years

your reasoning is ********. IMO

Space money comes and goes. Obvious in game advantages for having free tools to make ISK (T2 blueprints) stay for good. An argument that in game item that gives the direct in game advantages is the same as a vanity pantjob Scorpion (which isn't much of a ship anyway) is trolling at best and you know it.

Case closed, now for the bans...

I don't see anyone implying favoritism.

I see a whole lot of people explicitly accusing them of it outright.

well if they are equal or even less in efficiency of normal scorpions and refine to 1 trit then there's not really any big deal.. the price of 12 bill is not CCP fault but rather the idiots who are buying it at that price... if the community had stand together ingame they would have put up 1 isk buy order just to **** them up but they deemed a reskin worth of 12 bill for a not that much limited ships P

Get over it.



No - you really can't - a T2 BPO having been given out to a single entity is unheard of, meaning there is a limitless supply of the product from various entities which provides competition.

Giving out unique ships (which are speculation objects) to rmt-laundring parasites like Somer is not even the same league as T20.

It's just so much worse...

You might have a point if items were account bound in EVE. But items can be exchanged for something known as "ISK" which can then be used to buy other items, a 20b supposedly rare spaceship equivalent to a 20b BPO.

Even if the final value of the Scorpions is 10k ISK it doesn't matter, since they can be sold NOW.

I think you're being trolled.

CCP started it, by saying it was worth "very little" since it refined to 1 trit.

Amusingly, you can't refine titans and supercarriers ...
