You know CCP, you can play the "we are assessing the situation" card as long as you want now. This is certainly turning out to be something which is very interesting... and definitely historical. Lol

What a lottery for interflora flowers with 50 plex, all for just a $500 GTC.

Why the flowers? So you can give them to your wife when she realizes what it cost? Lol

Yo Handsome, there was no paid lottery for a character at any stage. So no buying of a character was ever part of this process.

The lottery was a freebie for those who buy gtc, an incentive to buy from DNS; the cash for GTC is separate from the lottery. The cash for gtc is legal. The offering of freebies via made up currency to boost your sales is legal. Link these two together and you have a winner.


Yo decaying dude, *fistbumps* etc.
I dig what some people is on about innit. But character exchange + lottery ain't good bruv.

Quote:
you have to enter the lottery to be able to buy the character. It is an intrinsic part of the process of buying the character. You can argue all you want about semantics, but if CCP decide that the quoted part of the ToS apply to the whole process and not just the final exchange step, expect bio massed characters and many many tears.


If it aint in yo head yet, money must've been traded b4 character exchange. Process, wonga, character, sale, semantics n all that innit. u geddit yo decaying dude?

It's a shame that dnsblack didn't make his point by selling say, an iScorp (lovely irony!) using this method as things would get really interesting. As it is, CCP could, if they so choose to, easily justify a ban hammer and bio mass due to it being a character sale.

Moving your thread is not endorsement, it's making sure that it's in the correct forum for the topic.

Discussion is still ongoing internally regarding this kind of practice.

Reference to any endorsement of this by CCP Staff have been removed until an decision is made regarding it rather than misinformation.

Don't put words in my mouth in future.

Handsome, to those of us who dont like this situation at all this is definitely, 100%, absolutely, hands down, rmt. It is just sad that CCP cant see it instantly as rmt like we do. The only time $$$ enter the process is to legally buy an overpriced gtc, we all know that it was really $$$ for character (or ISK in the somer model) but CCP just wont see it that way.


The somer defence is bad, but the eve-games dude saying it is ok because ccp have not stopped it shows how messed up this all is.

Just trying the "fitting in with the crowd to help them understand what I'm saying" method of communication. Sometimes one has to stoop to levels of the recipient for the message to be heard.

Edit: That wasn't from the USA btw. Try it it a Sarf Larndern accent.

DarkDecay, I know, however there are additional rules regarding Character sale when compared to any other type. That's my point and if CCP so chooses, they could use those additional rules to justify wielding their mighty pork sword. hence why I said it's a shame that dns didn't do it with an iScorp and not a character as that pitches players into the potential "legal" rmt.

Got the accent btw :P

The character was never sold but only transferred. That is the sad point here. By breaking the rmt process up into smaller steps, that are all seen by CCP as legal, it appears you can bypass all the rules. This is not good and needs stomped on immediately.

Agreed, but I'll wait and see what CCP choose to do against dnsblack for the character "exchange" (sale). I'd personally be surprised if they'll let it slide as they are usually red hot on keeping character sales legit. They have a clause in the ToS aimed directly at character sales with which they could justify harsh action. In game items, plex, etc. though... that's going to be interesting and could well force a change in their outlook as that specific character clause doesn't apply to them.

I was giving you credit for moving it and showing that section to me. I was pointing out by you moving it how my exposure was increased with the blue tag. I would never want to put words in your mouth, beers yes words no.

I believe it is to be titled: The case of the Mighty Pork Sword.

Sounds like a badly written Sherlock Holmes mystery to me. Lol

He's the hero New Eden deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A DNSBlack.

They say EvE players are bad, terrible people, almost psychos. And the community is a cesspool.

But then...


... enter these situations. They are a PEARL in the boring and grey MMOs playerbases landscape.

EvE players are collectively GENIUS and in case of these emergencies they brainstorm together... and then they pull these hat tricks like those raffles. And effectively grab CCP by the balls, because they wanted to take it easy, long, and make it forget.

But nope, players have crossed the Rubicon themselves and this will create some nice PvD (Players vs Devs) content!
