CCP probably could give out a free car or house to some community person, and if it has no effect on the game, the backlash would be less. There would probably be some resentment about people's sub money going to such lavish gifts, but since I'm pretty sure no one in the community will be getting a car or house from CCP anytime soon, we're not gonna have to worry about it. Giving out some RL Eve swag though, I'm positive you'd have no backlash like this.The Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09943719085849242739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490340916886486838.post-86157593377273267282013-10-07T13:18:37.832+00:002013-10-07T13:18:37.832+00:00Nothing short of a full server restart would get m...Nothing short of a full server restart would get me playing eve again.

So let's look at who else should get free shiny's for creating content (this is only half serious and assumed this incident will set the precident).<br /><br />BNI – A POS module that generates random T1 frigates, fully meta 4 fitted, every 2 seconds for ½ the mineral cost of normal construction – for attracting and supporting newbro's<br /><br />E-Uni – 'Degree-level cerebral enhancers' +9 all attributes for 32days. can be used in conjunction with cerebral accelerator or implants - for supporting newbies and teaching carebears to escape their PvE prisons.<br /><br />BL – CUSTOM REVENANT BPC (that can be researched from a standard revenant BPC), builds revenant with special BL colours. - for being the first to kill a revenant.<br /><br />PL – 'Scrap' station. A null sec station, to be deployed wherever they want, that looks like the burned out hulk of their dead revenant. - for managing to lose a revenant despite having 12 spai's who could have said it was a trap.<br /><br />TEST – fuck, just give them ISK (if they're not disbanded by the time CCP get's round to it), Christ knows they need it. - for continuing to fight down to the last man in the last station when everything prior had them running and hiding.<br /><br />Goons – 'Cata-Kaze' unique catalyst x 10. does not trigger concord for high sec ganks, constantly has suspect timer. they'd enjoy that, and it would die quickly when used. - for being the other half of the great war and providing content through events like burn jita and the ice blockade<br /><br />RvB – custom paint jobs for all ships flown in their respective corps. Red for red, Blue for blue (Does not change the ship itself when flown by non-RvB members). - For providing a core of fun PvP.<br /><br />EvE-Radio – 'advertising drones' that fly around and play EvE radio, because if CCP are going to directly advertise 3rd party services they should at least be donation based non-profit – for being awesome to listen to when grinding through PvE or waiting for a fight. <br /><br />EvE Wiki – some collectors editions to give away to the top contributors – for providing an easy to understand guide/information service for all players.<br /><br />Dotlan – Collectors editions for all 'employee's' – for providing an information service that has helped thousands of capsuleers find or avoid fights. <br /><br />ThatGuyWhoWelpedHisNyxInFlightOfAThousandRiftersIII – Mini-Nyx to replace pod – for putting on an event better and more community-open than anything somer has done.<br /><br />.<br /><br />And many more. The point is few of them are making billions already off the backs of other players (well, maybe Goons are worse than somer since you don't choose to be ganked in the ice blockade, burn Jita, or hulkageddon, that's you opinion please don't comment here, but they're doing it in-game and i'll accept in-game fuckery as just being EVE.), but alas, at this rate CCP will be giving ships to ISK doublers for their "content creation" first. I suppose they'll order it by who can shit up Jita local most. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1490340916886486838.post-52471796108623137462013-10-06T05:47:05.442+00:002013-10-06T05:47:05.442+00:00Yeah, I mentioned this on Podside tonight.
