it's been resolved. the gtc loophole got closed, no more stuff is being given away for now, and navigator is gone. but i don't think we're ever going to see that survey or another official response.


Thanks for that. I found this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=285492

Not really sure how that's not closure? Anyway, I've watched markeedragon's videos, what did he do to "beat" eve?

well, there aren't going to be any repercussions for what some referred to as *redacted* because of the 'special relationship' between somer and ccp, so people that were calling for somer to be sanctioned are going to be disappointed. there will be no consequences for the multiple hundred thousand irl dollars that somer made by bundling isk credits with gtc purchases, as it was all legal at the time. while it has been resolved in the sense that there is no longer a loophole to take advantage of and the flow of free ships and other stuff has stopped, there is no closure in the sense that ccp basically said 'brb getting pizza' and abandoned and unstickied the threadnaught. we never saw that survey either. it's pretty clear they just want this to go away, so i doubt we'll get another response.

i've seen his videos too. judging by the nature of his piloting, i take it that his 'beating' eve in a week refers to the grace period they had in which to give out 1bil+ bonuses before the affiliate rules were changed. lot of gtcs were sold using his site during that period. i'd say that's winning at eve Lol

He had that in his bio from long before.

I'm guessing it has to do with the massive bounty that was put on his head.

Personal opinions aside, what more are people looking for there to be said regarding this?


They want CCP to beg their forgiveness and offer them free ****.

Also, they want Blink to be publicly punished, because people love watching others be punished.
Pretty much this.
People, taken as a whole, are greedy little ***** who love making others suffer.

Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.
