EVE General Discussion

Thank you for posting that, my 16 year old tries that all the time (and it never works be still she tries, 19 months till graduation, but who's counting...pother thanme).

YAY I'm not alone!

Two parties. Just wondering why you think this makes things legal?

Or conversely, why only one party makes it illegal.

Of course they will, this community gets pissed every time the wind changes direction.

This community also feels they are qualified to make business decisions for CCP, when they blatantly are not.

We have a tendency to get wrapped up in our own little fantasy world of how we think game companies should operate, and very rarely do they actually have any real world substance or merit.

Most often these issues are the very definition of the phrase "tempest in a tea cup", throwing in just enough pseudo real world parallels to try and give the illusion of substance to their complaints. Claims that event driven ship sponsorship from CCP "will put Somer's competitors out of business" and similar nonsense that might be true in a real world business situation, but have zero relevance in a fictional economy where their activities will have little (if any) real effect on groups running similar activities.

This will have traction on the forums until some clever troll finds another controversy ball to throw in front of the community for them to chase after. You'd think that eventually most of the posters here would stop allowing themselves to be so easily manipulated, but apparently rational thinking and perspective are difficult skills to learn.

Of course you have ill feelings towards Somer otherwise you would be posting in everything single about Somer saying how wrong they are and making stuff up as you go along.

Unless now you are now saying the only issue you have is then giving out isk credit in you use there referral scheme in which case talking about making a mountain out of a molehill.

Also it is quite clear what CCP stance is on selling GTC's.

If you are not on the list of CCP Authorised sellers then you can not sell GTC's for RL Money and thus can be banned for it.

As I have said before speak to the GTC wholesalers as they make no mention of being an authorised reseller, they are happy to give anyone thousands of GTC for resale, the authorised bit only comes in on your credit card, if your bank authorises the transfer or not. Nor have I made anything up. Your choosing to ignore facts says more than I ever have.

Oh and RMT is not a molehill, nor should Somer or any site be permitted to conduct them selves in a manner that CCP is not prepared to have the whole community duplicate.

So now maybe you can tell me how the Summer of Rage was a "Tempest in a tea cup" and how stupid the rage over what happened was?

I figured you would grasp at the one issue in your laundry list you feel actually has some merit... because, well, everyone says so right?

Now that we've asserted that the rest of your issues listed are nonsense, including the one this thread is about, let me point out that I any many other forum posters have pointed out repeatedly that most of the issues people point to as a cause for the "summer of rage" are nonsense.

There were a couple of legitimate concerns brought up during that time, but very few people think clearly enough to recognize what those issues were. Instead they regurgitate the tripe the forum trolls fed them during that time and convince themselves that not only was the information factual, but that it was somehow important. If you ask a dozen different people what the summer of rage was all about you'll get a dozen different answers, most of them completely incorrect.

However, the common herd carries on regardless... forever chasing the next "outrage" that gets dangled in front of their nose. Amusing yet irritating occasionally, like watching preschoolers give their opinion on world politics.

You have asserted nothing other than the fact you cannot back up your own statements


Now as the summer of rage made the main stream media and I did not see any of them calling our reaction ridiculous maybe you would like to explain how you are so much better than the rest of this community, the gaming media and the mainstream media?

You don't do business with companies much if you think it is ever that one sided or for that matter in the favor of a small company like CCP.

So I will save you the trouble of ranting as the goods can be purchased by anyone via the wholesalers rules and resold by who the wholesaler chooses to do business with.

and as you are now just ranting and unable to answer how you are better than everyone else as you claim.

I will just class you as another Somer fan boy.

Given the circumstances I would petition CCP as it was their doing that you gave Somer so much isk and let them sort it out with their trustworthy number 1 gambling site.
