Another whine post that expresses his dislike of "how the game is going", with "EvE is dying" undertones, without actually saying anything specific. Some reasons why you think this would be nice.

For now, i'm just going to translate your post into "Waaaa the sandbox doesn't conform to my exact specifications!"

Regardless, i wish you luck and hope you come back in a few years time. The rest of us will carry on playing EvE. Cool

Post with your main, like a BOSS!

And no, i don't live in highsec.  As if that would make your opinion any less wrong.

Pretty sure sandboxes have the same rules for everyone. Unless there's a new platinum account option where you get free trillions and are allowed to RMT.

Yeh didn't think so. Agree with OP.

Your thread has since been reopened. However, your best bet to get a response from CCP is to file a petition. I recommend that instead of a open letter thread on the forums.


Dude, if you mean this thread http://eve-search.com/thread/287241-1 then it has been removed from the forum completely.

I say, CCP make this a legitimate game mechanic for the next expansion for something.
Everybody can turn into a GTC reseller easily and make reallife cash out of it.
That way, people will actively try to sell more GTCs, which will make CCP even more money.

No, what I have noticed is that people have no understanding how re-sellers, affiliates and Somerblink work.

That's pretty much what people say who simply don't get it.
Everybody else is dumb, except the actually dumb one.

What is preventing you from being a GTC reseller now?

It's not a super-sekret partnership or anything. In 5 minutes of browsing you can find how to become an affiliate of various resellers just like SOMER is.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Why become an affiliate and share the profit when you can become an actual seller to maximise the profits? CCP have said nothing about how to do this.

It was a generic response, not specific.
Usually people who don't get it call everybody else dumb,
not realising that they are the only ones not getting it.

I never said i understand what he's up to, but unlike you i don't think i know better,
because i can admit that i have no real idea what's going on in his mind,
but i, like others, think it makes sense.

Personally, i'd appreciate a proper explanation pretty much like the next guy.

Where did I say that the OP was dumb or that I knew what he was talking about?

I actually posted I have no idea what he is talking about.

My comment about people not understanding was in response to your post regarding the other thread, and I still stand by my comment that people have no idea about how re-sellers, affiliates and Somerblink work, which can also been seen in this thread as well Big smile

I really don't think the Somer thing was that bad.

Look, I'm pissed off about RL stuff, too, but don't take it out on CCP. It's JUST a bunch of Ishukone Watch Scorpions, FFS. They're all just going to get CONCORDed for smartbombing a cloaked SB, in a highsec mission pocket, anyway. It's not like they gifted people with anything gamebreaking, or provided an actual unfair advantage.

Somer provides an edification to the game world that may or may not keep people subbed. That means more money for CCP, and more game for us. Deal with it.
Was it wrong what CCP did? Sure... in a few ways, yes. But it wasn't anywhere near heinous. At most it warranted a couple of "dude... we'd like it if you didn't ever do that again" statements. Not two weeks of unholy playerbase rage. Afterall.... they asked us not to RMT, or mod the client, or bot. Have we stopped doing that? F**k no.



Here here to You Jarod (also, Your alliance name is delicious, literally). I know all the ins and outs of what people are screaming about, but i just don't feel it like that. It's CCPs stuff, they can do as they please. I've seen the community get mad before and I was much more understanding of that (because the things people were getting mad at were actual things that could have changed the game), but CCP (secretly or not) giving out some crap but rare scorps to people for whatever reason they wanted do does nothing but affect a few collectors and put some imaginary money in a few SOMER guys wallet.

Big whoop.

I think it's an example of people being to close to a game, almost loving it too much. When i was in school for my job, an instructor (with 30 years experience) told me and my fellow cadets something that seems apt here. He said:

"Some feel this job is a calling and they love it, and they end up bitter in the end when reality hits. That's because the reality is that it's stupid to love a job. A job is not a person, it cannot love you back. Love your family, love your self, love your fellow man, but WORK your job, then retire and live the rest of your life".

Substitute "Game" for "Job" and "play" for "work" in this case.
