1. They don't play eve they run a RMT out of the sand box auction house.
2. They didn't earn there isk in the sand box they pooled it with CCP help ( they make the tech cartel look silly). All other in game corps had to fight for there place Somer used the mob / vegas method and then started to buy off everyone so he could profit for real money.
3. Somer eve got people to believe they were a third party service LOLOLOLOL. now that was some funny 5hit. Most other groups build stuff to support the sand box TMC, EVEnew 24, Dotlan, Chribba sites and many more. Somer was ripping isk out of this sandbox and leveraging it to make real money.
4. Somer uses shills, ban people from thier site, get gifted by the CCP gods and yet there game and web site has no over seeing organization and they are 100% trust worthy?????
Conclusion - "they are good at what they do" ie. wrecking the sand box. The same sandbox CCP built 10 years ago with hard work. I have seen people come in and knock down walls and remove sand time and again. This community has help repair those walls and shovel the sand back in. How many more times CCP are you going to let companies like Marcees dragon and in corp organizations like Somer wreck your only money making game. Gambling sites like Somer need to have over site period so they don't wreck the sand box. no matter how much isk they throw around they are not good for eveonline.
I am sorry if this dosn't read well but you get my point.
Dude.. leave already I can't CCP won't let me. Do me a favor and show me on the doll were I touched you seems like we met before. Someday I will share what happen during my Somer sale but I can't right now.
Erm... what? |

The sad thing is I don't think a single person other than those prefixed with "CCP " ever thought somer was a community site/service. Everyone knew it was a business - one we sometimes we gave our patronage - but a business none the less.
They are not like Dotlan, EVEMon, EFT, the mittani dot com, eve news 24, Chribba sites, etc.
And no one ever, ever thought they were, regardless of CCPs protests.
As you said, we'll see this very clearly now that their RMT route has been cut off (if it has, they still have the link up at the minute and appear to offer their blink-credit bonuses) |

I remember at the start of this when Navigator implied he had done a full audit of all somers transactions and systems and stated proudly that they honoured everything perfectly and were legit.
Did he miss the RMT aspect? Or was he confused by the fluid, uncertain EULA too? Does that mean he's going to reverse all those transactions that he totally audited and wasn't just lying about in order to promote somer? |

All that means is that they do what they say they're gonna do with isk. That is: give you some (or give you credit) to keep you clicking that button and buying that GTC when you run out of money.

Never underestimate the power of self delusion.
People at CCP knew what was going on. They rationalized it somehow because it helped sell more plexes.
The best part of all of this is that if CCP hadn't have given them the scorpions no one would have ever made a fuss about it.

Now remember though guys: If this is the way it sounds like it is going, Somer will have 10 days to cease RMT activities. Banning may or may not occur, who knows but CCP on that side. Either way, Somer may not be able, or may not be eager to carry on at the rate they are. Personally I'd advise anyone that still has an outstanding balance with them to cycle it through blinks and cash out as much as possible before the inevitable. If once the dust settles they are still operating, then you could cash back in.
I most certainly wouldn't leave an outstanding payment and cross my fingers hoping they'll still pay out to the community once this storm hits. But that's just me. The Indecisive Noob - A new EVE Fan Blog for news and stuff. |

I'm kinda curious about you people who are still baying for Somer's blood. I get that you're unhappy. I am too. Favoritism is bad. Messing with the sandbox is bad. There's a lot to not like. But have you really though about what it means if CCP were to kick Somer out? Do you not realize how horrifically bad this would make CCP look? Analogy time.
Old Lady: I would like to cross the road. Policeman: OK, go and cross the road. Old Lady: It is OK for me to cross the road then? Policeman: Oh yes. Policeman: Tell you what, I'll even give you a hand. Old Lady: Sweet! Policeman: That's OK, I heard you help out other people too. Old Lady: Yes, sometimes I do, but it often benefits me too (sinister cackle). Policeman: OK, you can manage the rest of the way. Old Lady: Thanks, almost there. See you around! Policeman: STOP! OR I'LL SHOOT. Old Lady: Errr OK, I've stopped. I've done as you aske.... Policeman: Sorry, got to kill you now.
Old Lady gets mown down in a hail of gunfire.
Is this really the CCP you guys would be happy doing business with? They've been giving Somer the green light for years. They've been thanking them. They've given them their blessing. This is indisputable.
Now you want CCP to do a u-turn and "mow them down". You're the same guys who ***** about CCP not being trustworthy right? The ones who get all butt hurt when CCP renege on delivering something, yeah? The ones who cry rivers of tears when you're told you can go ahead and do something, but then are told later you should stop doing it. At least they didn't ban you once you had stopped.
But now all of a sudden, you actually want CCP to act in this way. People, get a grip for once. Please. |

some dude deposited 16bil when the Guardian-Vexor thing was on the table and endorsed by CCP. when that plan fell through, he tried to get his isk back but Somer only gave him the run-around and then just straight up started ignoring him.

Crossing the road was always against the law, just because some cops looked the other way for a few years does not change that fact. Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!! |

yes, it would mean the rules are being applied fairly, for once. everyone else who shows the slightest hint of RMT gets a banhammer, but in this case we have clear evidence of massive ongoing RMT to the tune of over $135k over several years. if that isn't ban-worthy, i don't know what is. |

They dont have to kick Somer out. They just need to not let them be a GTC referral and give away isk ingame to incentivize people clicking the GTC button on their site. Somer would shut herself down real quick as it would no longer be profitable.
Or at least let other people like DNSBlack or the Black Legion. guy do the same thing she has been doing for years

Handsome Feller wrote:*stuff* It's not really like that though is it. Somer have been running an RMT scheme, thats what this is about. The fact that CCP gave them ships and endorsed them is a separate issue that was dealt with separately. This on top just makes CCP look stupid. I don't think for a second that CCP helped Somer RMT directly, just by misjudging them. Now if Somer stop RMTing, that's good, but it's already been going on. If another RMTer got told to stop and did, would you then say they should be left unpunished too? CCP need to fully audit Somer, figure out exactly how far this has stretched, then give an appropriate punishment. We would expect the same for anyone else, so why not Somer?

Aside from your terrible analogy which makes no sense (in what way is SOMER like a little old lady?), I would be satisfied to know that SOMER loses his RL cash cow. Who gives a rat's ass about the imaginary pixel side of it. RL tears, best tears.

Logic fail. There's only one cop and he was happy with you crossing the road every single day. He also helped you to cross the road. But one day, he killed you for it. |
