about the other very limited ships in eve (not talking about the ishukone scorp) but the gaurdian vexors, the silver magnates, the gold magnates, the imperial geddon and apocalypse. the raven state issue, federation megathron, and the tribal tempest and revenant, there was little. or just NO argue about it. so why would it be with this stratios emergency responder.


i guess it has to do with you new generation of eve players. unknowing about somer blink. unknowing about those other rare items. so now they see somer gives a chanche to get a special and very rare issue (only 3 ships) of the stratios. they see it to late. they dont play somer. and they go full mad they didnt get anything, or a got chanche. but if u read the damn forum posts that came with eve vegas. then u should have known somer was giving these ships. then u HAD the chanche to participate and win. but since most of you find lotteries bad. you dont participate. or some of you dumbbears dont even read the forum post. and then you find out later. and get jealy. and go full mad. and that somer gives it away. i understand ccp chose this 3d party. its the most used. and also trusted 3d party. i would love to hear your reactions if they gave evealopalous the ship to give away.

i have a feeling this new generation wants everything for nothing. giving nothing. doing noting, and reading nothing. and that this generation of eve players clearly dont know, or WANT to know. that UNIQUE items are a UNIQUE part of eve.

and i dont realy understand you have to be so angry about wich 3rd parties do it. cuz do you realy expect CCP would use YOU for giving the ship away ?

We've been over this many times, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt:
Giving SOMER special prizes to give out like this generates tremendous amounts of interest and activity for them. Which ultimately means that more people play their game, and thus they make even more ISK.

CCP has been lining SOMER's pockets for a while now.


James, you are not forced to play the lottery. free decisions. the same way u can blame Darknesss for his Super Lottery. ah sry, i am sure thats a non profit lottery. ;)


I love it when people respond to posts without reading those posts or even understanding what those posts say.

Why should I have to give isk to Somer to have a chance at one of these ships? They don't belong to Somer, CCP was just having Somer operate the lottery.. right?

It is the Blink prize variant. Very few are in existence. Perhaps CCP will release more through their 3rd party friends.

No, they will be kept in reserve to tease people who think they are special.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

No, this was given out MONTHS ago. After the whine about Guardian Vexors being unfair to all the collectors who had one, these were the prize that was substituted, to be of similar value but not mess with people who had Guardian Vexors & Golden Magnates. Like I said before, it's an old issue, well announced at the time. Learn to read the forums regularly not just when you want to whine about something.

Indeed.

CCP originally was going to reissue 3 Gold Magnates (since none exist anymore).

However, people complained that re-issuing the ship would cause the non-existent ships value to drop. Big smile

Soooo, CCP said okay, no Gold Magnates. However since people have already invested in this lottery we will create another unique and collectable ship to be given away... which we now see before us today.

There will be 3 of them in game, ever, and you'll never have one. So just relax. Smile

I recall you could sign up to get one for free but the more money you gave to blink the better chance you had to win.

CCP Navigator wrote:
With SOMER Blink anyone who plays a single blink (even a free promo blink) will gain a ticket to the main Blink Blast so you have a chance to win. Clearly, the more you play the more chances you have to win the blast. In addition, CCP do not have a lottery system capable of handling this for all interested parties. In this circumstance, we are going to the people who have.


CCP changed the event prizes to be a Stratios Emergency Responder for all 5 winners (instead of gold magnate or guardian vexor), with the top two winners getting an option to receive an all-expense paid trip to fanfest 2014 instead of their SER.

Pretty sure everyone with an active account would be interested, but CCP decided that randomly selecting active accounts and deduplicating using IP addresses or other payment methods was too hard, or not be fun enough, or not have enough community involvement, and instead gave the rewards to Somer to distribute, in effect meaning that despite the freebie ticket, the highest chance to win would go to whomever played the most Blink, all assuming of course that the winners were chosen as stated (a big IF to a lot of skeptics).

In b4 the lock.
