CCP is ignorant


CCP is hoping we will all just **** off and forget about it ^^

They might win the battle (ignore us)
and lose the war (prove that they will follow the money regardless of what is right)

There is someone in CCP, I am not sure who, but they issued the command to totally ignore all of us in this thread.

We are actually REAL LIFE CUSTOMERS of this company. I know we are also gamers, with avatars and stupid names... but we are also paying customers just like any other customer on the street.

And most of us, all in all, have paid a lot to CCP for this game.

It is frankly disgraceful that they are ignoring us totally.

It isnt even as if they are staying out of this thread and making statements elsewhere to avoid 'trolling'. The person inside CCP responsible for this snubbing has literally decided to blank us and give us the middle finger.

Surely there is someone in CCP with leadership skills?

Cant they just suggest that some kind of statement, even if it is outside this thread, is required?

I wouldn't even care if this thread was locked after.

It is simply unbelievable that CCP has opted to totally snub and ignore the lot of us like this.

the worst part is, this is their own thread not some random player's whine.
they intentionally created this thread, then abandoned it.

just saying guys you all just sound like a moany bunch of bitches....SOMER has been around forever to get to the state its in now, most of you people crying more than likely haven't even been around long enough to no what scams happened back in the day.....

I use SOMER just for some fun while in big fleets or station spinning, they will move your ships to a system for you if you so wish and have a good selection to bid on, SOMER one of the few lottos about that hasn't up and jacked all the isk off everyone, I would even go as far as saying that its one of the few things in eve that can be trusted....yes some people of there have dumped tones of cash into it and bid on 90% of tickets increasing there cash and wins like that but if you cant do that then tough welcome to eve

next thing you no you all be ganging up on chribba for having to much rare items and isk

the fact you would say SOMER has done nufing for eve players just goes to show how little you know, pretty much your all saying chribba done nufing ether.......1st and formost thing he has done has installed some trust back into eve, and provides a good lotto system that if you have a brain in your head you can win quite a lot on (myself last I check 1bill payed in 5bill payed out)

been outside lakely?
breath in the smell of real life and you will noticed that prople make money off other ppl

e.g: Ladbrokes, betfare, facebook banks etc etc

let me know when your struggle to get all them shut down and the world make into a totally fair place and we will talk more.

saying that eve is a game but a game the resambles real life quite closely, maybe beceause the players drive it or maybe that's how ccp wants it, ether way SOMER is a way to blow some isk take some riska and reap the rewards and fails, that in itself is add alittle extra to eve as a game, altho is maybe be the betting side of eve it still makes eve part of what it is whitch is risk and lets be honest if you ant willing the take the risk you don't play and if you are you do, choice is yours just like everytime you PVP or go into low/null sec you take a risk

as for the rewards, hes put a lot of effort into making SOMEr what it is now and about time a reward is due

personaly I see nufing wrong here and hope ccp continues to egnore you all

I mean seriously all im seeing in all these posts is ppl just basicly saying "it isn't fair" and all I have to say is wake up and smell the cheese life isn't fair jesus

yh I read though the 82 pages of moany ass people about some ****** ships that was given out to SOMER when hes been around for freakign ages and never asked for anything, and ccp changed rewards last minite etc etc.......look at it like this there Is only one luxer cruiser in this game, worth trillions of isk, they got that for getting marryed at fan fest, affected no1 in eve, no1 cares, will you ever see it? prob not, will it every be sold? maybe who knows

the simple fact remains if they undock in there shinny ships they get ganked, that basicly makes them useless other than a gaint hanger paper weight, doesn't effect anyone in eve..

now if you want something to cry about skip back afew years to ccp employees spawning officer spams in BOB space or handing out t2 bpos

your argument is over something so small that 90% of eve gives 0 fucks I only came to see this cuz it was on the eve facebook page lol

clearly you didn't or you'd know that wasn't what the thread was about.

if you're going to post there's no need to lie, just admit you want to post in an 80 page thread and then leave. alternatively, read it properly and then contribute.

just so we're clear; nobody cares that somer were given ships. nobody cares that it was somer that recieved them.

the issue acutally is that using third parties to distribute community rewards is a bad idea, and just gifting ingame items to players is also bad (which obviously you understand as you referenced t20).

there, i just did 80 pages of reading for you since you couldn't/wouldn't.

And implicitly or explicitly endorsing certain organisations over others is also a bad idea. (Now a pet peeve of mine, sorry.)

What's a fair way of distributing rare items?

This is true, however, I think that has now become a secondary issue to the point that a decision has been made to TOTALLY ignore paying customers. This must have come from the highest level, and is an extremely worrying precedent.

I don't know about the rest of you, but i'd just be happy with a "we're still looking in to it, the surveys are nearly ready to send out even though it has taken us about 6 weeks longer than it should have" post.

i'm not even looking for solid answers, just an update on the current state of play.

It's silly that absolutely nothing is coming from CCP. Even the most stupid threads directed at CCP get some Dev response but here? Nothing. Nil. Zilch.

Why not just lock this thread with "End of Line" so we all know who's in charge of PR these days?
