I would like to say that, that is a horrible way to keep customers.

doesn't matter if the customers are addicts
the dealer can beat up the crackwhore, she'll still keep on coming back for the product
they've got a captive market and they know it

We're... CCP's bitchessssssss?????!

Just when one PR debacle ends, another begins.

Really CCP? Over ten years and you haven't learned how to handle these things yet?

See, CCP? This is the customer you will be keeping after the dust settles. People that don't comprehend the simplest ideas of a market.

I don't know. I tend to be one of the more vocal opponents of Tippia and friends, but I would agree that CCP should have not given ships to players in secret.

And I don't think Somer Blink is a good venue to distribute ships either.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

I'm not a Goon alt, and I hate the crap CCP has been pulling the last few weeks.

One lump, or two?

Tippia, Chribba, and several people in enemy alliances who object to this move are clearly "[Goons'] respective alts".

With all the jerking off CCP have been doing over Somer Blink the past couple of months, they should just rename the Rubicon expansion the SOMER expansion and be done with it. It would make a fitting ejaculation.

There are some folks who attach waaaay too much emotional energy into a corp/alliance tag.

I've heard a few "I don't care what is happening, but if it's pissing off Goons then obviously it's the right move."



Makes me kind of wonder though, do these folks mean ALL Goons on EVE, or just Goonswarm? Plenty of Somethingawful.com forum members around, who don't join the swarm...

If CCP is secretly gifting valuables to certain players, it really makes you question the legitimacy of Eve's "sandbox", it's main selling point.

If Eve isn't a sandbox, then it's a WoW themepark.

I payed for a sandbox and all I got was this sand in my box... Cry

The incompetence here is staggering. How are these good old boys villagers still alive in an international market is also staggering.

What also disappoints me in my own species is how dafuqq is a gambling service considered a community service? And no I don't mean CCP's thinly veiled lie but the actual morons posting in this thread.

It's a just business not deserving of favoritism any more than some dumbass building Ravens from the "free minerals" he acquired.

Plenty of people in Goonswarm who aren't Goons either, for that matter. At least if you define "Goon" as someone with a SA account. I'm fairly sure that's the definition used in the Swarm, but I'm new so I can't say for sure.

If you're using this as a metaphor for EVE and WoW being two different games then there's a lot of better things you could have picked, considering this is actually a true statement.
