Somer blink have reacted to being told to cease their RMT activity by offering even more credit per purchase. This is beyond taking the ****.
The 10 days was to give them time to take down their operation, not to have 10 days to push a bigger marketing campaign.
This is clearly Somer acting in defiance against the ruling that has been made and a clear indicator that they should be shut down immediately.

The worst part is all of their competition has done what is best for the community and removed their offers.

So Somer is just milking it and making CCP look really bad.

CCP need to ban them for breaching the EULA, they are a business and they are acting like one.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

wow.
even if you like somer this is reason enough to boycott them entirely.

somer you lost, the rules are being enforced, and theyve kindly given you a grace period to give you time to change the site. you are abusing that and showing that its all about the money not about the community. sickening.

Sure. If you are selfish, and you support a group that couldn't give two ***** about this game, then yes, you could take advantage.

it was never about the community. today's events are showing Somer's true colours. they are a purely for-profit entity selling isk as an irl business. two clear violations of the EULA and they're pushing the envelope by 5x-ing the amount of RMT. CCP look foolish having vouched for them.

Yeah while their competitors are doing the right thing.

They are showing why they should be removed from this community.

They are in it for the RL money and nothing more.

Why the hell not?
Because I love EVE, and I'm passionate about it going in a positive direction. Sure, it's got it's ups and downs, and lately there have been quite a few problems, but that doesn't mean I want to help make those problems worse. I never have supported Somer, and this latest debacle only strengthens my resolve that removing them from the community is the right thing to do for the future of the game. People need to be told that this will not stand. People that look positively on the community and aren't in it to line their pockets are the ones that should be supported.

As far as I know this was sent to the GTC resellers, and they are tasked with enforcing it as part of the resellers rules.

This is sickening, blatant disrespect for CCP and the Eve commnunity. Stop BLINK immediately!
Somer has gotten away with this for too long, now they have been shown by their true colours, they decide to stick up their middle finger to us, CCP and grab what they can before its all over.

STOP BLINK NOW!

CCP have been 100% silent during this, presumably while they try to work out the best way to save their pal's sinking ship.

So what did everyone think was going to happen to the isk in Somers accounts.

Anyway it will be interesting to see the effect (if any) of all that isk coming back into the eve economy.

I think people were hoping they would act like a member of the community and stop.

Instead they have acted exactly as you would expect a business to act and try to profit as much as possible before they are stopped.

They could not do much more of a **** you to CCP.
