Now, in the way this has gone down and how typical things work in relation to how the laws work -

Are you now going to ban every single player who has used somer blink for aiding and abetting?

And shut down all of the other external gambling sites as well because in some way/some how they are all RMT'ing.

Did you read Somer's front page at all? Supposedly he's paying it back. Whether or not he honors that is up in the air. No idea what kind of stipulations CCP will make either, or what they'll do with the confiscated ISK should they ban Somer's accounts.


They are only paying ballance of playing isk you had on the account, not all the tokens wich will go in plain air. I was promessed i can spend them whenever i want, so i was stacking them for the celebration, and now they are all gone, but its not just me with the same problem so i will stop here and let the people talk. this is just bad...



You asking for your "Tokens" back is like asking your local Casino that's "going to the mattresses "I want my money mein"

for helping perpetuate this RMT scheme. It wouldn't have been so successful if people weren't using it and leading to this mighty outcry.

So what Blink was doing was wrong, But Eve Time Code can give you a Free PLEX for every $250 spent..

"New Promo - Your business counts! Starting May 9th 2014, After every $250 spent you will recieve 1 free PLEX"

Standard customer loyalty program (if a bit on the miserly side — isn't “buy 10 get 1 for free” the standard? P) with no in-game component. So there's no comparison there.

How is that any better than what Blink was doing?

Buy a bunch from our reseller get some isk free.. If what Blink is doing is RMT, then so it this.

Geez it's like people can't keep straight in-game versus out-of-game.

Eve Time Code's promotion is not contracting you an extra plex in-game purchased from an isk slush fund. They're giving you another plex from the out-of-game supply. The ETCs they sell are codes they buy from CCP. The isk Somer was padding onto plex "convenience sales" was in-game isk. RMT requires moving in-game stuff for out-of-game money.

Other than the way that all PLEX / ISK transactions are RMT of course.

Anyone that doesn't see PLEX as ISK needs their head examined.
Until such time as PLEX can't be sold at Jita, it's just a bulk amount of ISK.

No, it's a PLEX.
PLEX can be traded for ISK. PLEX does not create ISK. So suggesting there's an equivalence is absurd.

Wrong way around.
Anyone who does see them as the same needs to have their head examined because they're not.
PLEX is PLEX, ISK is ISK, and an out-of-game sale of PLEX codes is an out-of-game sale of PLEX codes.

Quote:

Close, but not quite. Until such time as a PLEX is redeemed and sold in Jita, it is just a PLEX. (Actually, afterwards, it's still just a PLEX — it's just not yours any more.)

There's a nuance there that you're missing. Something about the direction that real money and in-game goods are flowing. Its ok in one direction and not ok in the other.

Ok in that case anyone who has ever bought or sold a PLEX from any source, in game or out of game, is guilty of RMTing.
Ban everyone, issue sorted. Next?

And so concludes the longest running, most profitable, most meta, most ****-in-your-face scam in EVE history. No other scam will ever come close.

Indeed. That's the only good spin on the thing that I can think of. Lol
