I was just talking with my friend and he has been rather successful in life. We were chatting up in MSN about old times and he said he wanted to purchase some GTCs.
After some chit chatting, well, here's what it came out to:

I wouldn't worry about it.
I am sure there is a cap on how many GTC can be sold over a period of time. IF he tryed to purchase that many GTC's I am sure he would find it.
Then he has to sell them all. A case of supply exceding the demand. What he could do it drive the price of GTC thru the floor. Can anyone say 100 Mill or less for 60 day GTC

If he somehow managed to offhand so many GTC's at a reasonable price, it would definitely number him amongest the richest in EVE, I doubt it would be enough to make him thee richest though. However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

*ahem* Trillion
Don't disillusion the poor guy with being able to count, let him dream, and learn the hard way. A trillion isn't really that vast an amount of money in the grand scheme of things, it has little chance of upsetting the eve economy, look at the moongoo exploit of a couple of years ago, that was generating much more money than this and that didn't cause vast upheavals.
Besides, you'll be one among many with all those people getting mails from CCP letting them know they have several trillion in their wallets ------------------------------------------------ You either need a punch up the throat or a good shag.

Ok just clicking thru the process it looks like you can only do 6 GTCs once every 24 hrs anyway for like $150ish. It'd take 2 years of buying/selling them. Something seems off there too tbh since that'd be about 1.7B every day (assuming you could sell them all every day for current prices around 300M).

What are you talking about?
I regularly order 20-40 60 day GTCs at a time. These GTCs convert fine into plexes, and they sell quickly in that format, especially if you do them at multiple market hubs.
There are plenty of people who are turning a minimum of 5 to 10 billion ISK a month in PLEX alone, and a small percentage of people (probably half a percent) that are doing 20+ billion. Based on the last QEN and some very conservative estimation, there is somewhere on the order of 170 trillion ISK of real money in circulation. This doesn't include assets at all, which jacks up this number significantly. I think you could easily see 500-700 trillion ISK in EVE. The number is probably much higher.
$100,000 is nothing in terms of revenue for CCP. CCP makes $4.5M a month conservatively on EVE. $100K is a drop in the bucket, though it does represent about 5,000 accounts.

I'm horribly addicted to Eve and all but spending that much dolla on isk is just tragic.
You should be planning an intervention not encouraging him.
Of course he is welcome to do what he likes but just

Hrm, your friend needs some advice.
First, if he came into a enough money that he can spend it on some game, 100,000 USD you say. Then his RL is going to be pretty easy from now on. Sooner or later he will be bored if too many things are too easy. Eve play has consequences. If he just has a throw away money, then where is the challenge, where is the sense of accomplishment? It's a game that delivers a sense of accomplishment because there is also the possibility of loss. If he circumvents that, then frankly, why play? |

ugh. There are people starving right now. At least do the half decent thing and live in excess in proper dissolution. Wasting thousands on a video game is just sad.

You're probably right. I was just looking at the purchasing page showing a dropdown of only 3 options and a once every 24 hr thing in the notes I found somewhere on google.

If someone is truly considering dropping that kind of a money on a video game rather than helping friends/family/charity, they are pathetic and in need of some serious help.

That's a whole lot more than 850...
and on topic, tbh even if he did spend that amount of gtc, it'd take years to sell off so I seriously doubt it would make any difference at all.
