EVE General Discussion

And the SOMER people are getting so shameless that I am surprised they they haven't used it yet. Seriously.

UR RITE. I AM FAT AN UGLIE AN SOMER IS PrITTY AN I HAEV TEH JELLUS.

Yes, it is CCP's fault. No, SOMER is not in the right for continuing to be douchebags. Hence the "hate".

Uhhh nobody is talking about their ships. You realise they've been RMTing right? That's what most of these threads are about.

The reaction is expected sure, but utterly disgraceful nonetheless. And as I say, the 10 days is to give them time to stop it. We know they could have by now but they chose instead to accelerate it. They want to make as much dollar as they can before they are forced to obey the rules. That's like knowing an exploit is going to be patched next week, so using it as much as possible until then. Bannable.

I'm not posting on behalf of my corp, you tool. I think that's pretty obvious.

And you do realize that your 'Redacted' business is done by CCP themselves and has been an official part of the game for almost 5 years now?

Anyone who is opposing any form of 'redacted' should be raging at CCP just the same as SOMER. Yet somehow that's not happening.

For all we know CCP is working side by side with SOMER on this 1 billion credits per plex.

This is what makes me sick.

I think because of BLINKS actions, they should be shutdown permanently. Its apparent that they are all for the money and not for our beloved community/game.
What can we do to stop this?
CCP Please act now, we want BLINK to receive a proper punishment.

[quote=Gavinvin1337]Why is everyone hating on Somer?

I don't see what they have done wrong, they were given prizes from CCP and gifted ships from CCP, should they have refused them?

Everything that has gone wrong here is CCP's fault, you guys are just jealous the Somer came up with a good idea before you did.[/quote]

Aren't you an idiot?
This has nothing to do with jealousy. WE CARE ABOUT OUR GAME! OUR COMMUNITY! Don't you? Maybe you should sit back and have a think about what really has/is happening here.

Hm, you'd think CCP would keep a close eye on stuff like this. Maybe check their website, play a few Blinks? Certainly before writing a spotlight about them and giving them tons of goodies to give away. So yeah I think it's pretty safe to assume CCP had a very clear understanding of the setup Somer uses. I refuse to believe that not a single CCP employee ever visited their website and not noticed the credit for GTC thing.

By extension that also means CCP didn't mind and thus approved their setup. And THAT by extension means that Somer's entire thing was legal or at the very least not illegal. It's really not rocket science.

You can then rage at CCP for showing favoritism and stuff, but don't blame Somer for something CCP did or didn't. They got the OK from CCP and carried on like normal. If you want to rage at someone, rage at CCP.

I don't see the problem here.

They were doing a legal thing.

CCP changed the rules and now it's not legal.

Suddenly, they have a bunch of worthless stock (ISK).

So they are trying to sell it at cut-rate prices so they recoup their investment. Just like any business.

Say you bought 10 cars to sell, and then someone tells you you won't be able to sell those cars in 10 days - you would sell them as cheap as you could to get your money back.

Now, given that what they were doing was really close to being illegal, and probably was against the spirit of the rules, this should have been shut down a long time ago with bans instead of being given in-game items for it. But it wasn't, it was allowed, so now we have to allow them 10 days to get their business in order again, which may include getting rid of as much ISK as they can to convert to real money.
