Well, I didn't read the EULA when I started out but having played several other MMO's I automatically assumed that buying isk is a big nono, unless proven otherwise.
I don't understand that whole GTC thing, personally I see no difference between that and Isk sellers but that's probably just me.

Originally by: Adonis 4174 Can you transfer assets with negative money? We've established you can't convo or sell items on the market.
Yes, by direct trade (if both characters are online at the same time in the same station) or via a corp hangar. Contracts are out of the question, because a deposit of 10,000 isk is required even if no isk changes hands.
Wrong, I can not do in station trades either.
wow, this is harsh ... it's like being semi-banned

Originally by: Lady Disortium I an the one, becuase by judging by everyones attitude no one else has done this.
This is a cautionary tale.
I bought 1.5b isk a couple of weeks ago and was merrily ploding along and playing my game. I logged on a few days ago to a -1.34b isk wallet (I bought some goodies with the isk).
Now I can not initiate convo's, I can not do in station trades, I can not put anything on the market.
Be warned that if you decide to buy isk the consequences are kinda hard to deal with and you will be left with 5 options. 1. buy GTC's to bring your wallet back to a positive level. 2. reroll your character 3. mission and rat until you have a positive wallet (keep in mind ammo is going to be a problem) 4. quit eve 5. hope your friends and corpmates will bail you out
I know, I am a terrible person and you are all doing the lmao/rofl thing and that is fine.
I have elected to mission and rat my way out of it but that isnt the point here, DONT BUY ISK is the point. The consequenses arent worth the shiney new toys.

Fix farming...
... render all NPC corps war-declarable. Under sufferage of constant war camps they will form PC corps, get wardecced, loose their farming fleets of haulers, and quit.
Farming eliminated.

I think this is a good post and i think people criticising him are idiots personally.
In the majority of games you start with stuff, die, dont really lose anything and begin again. not eve.
In eve you start with nothing and gain through hard work and / or intelligence. Either way eve is a hard graft and its feasible to lose everything fairly easily. But in my view this makes eve a great game, you have to struggle, but once your on top it makes everything worthwhile. Also it makes fighting with something expensive a real adrenaline rush, unlike most games.
During my time in various corps in eve i have known people that have bought isk and sold / bought characters on ebay. it is more common than people think and is bet everyone knows someone that has done it, whether they are aware or not.
Im sure a lot of people dont know the eula and dont even realise its illegal ingame. As some other people have pointed out with lots of outgame sites selling isk it often appears legitimate. Also its difficult to see how selling gtc is different than buying isk direct.
People are periodically warned about buying isk, but people often dont realise the consequences. Its good to see the consequencesin this post. if it puts people off then it serves a purpose, and thats what the op is trying to do.
I personally think there will always be people willing to buy isk whatever posts are made. The most important thing to put people off buying isk is a realistic chance of being caught. The more posts like this showing people being caught the less people will buy isk, so they are a good thing.

so so wrong. the only way to fix farmers is to nerf cloaks, and introduce npc aggression.
i see farmers in 0.0 all the time, lots of them in fact, you enter local they safespot, cloak, log off or any combination of these. how will being able to war dec them change this.
the sane will happen in highsec / lowsec as well, dont underestimate the farmers they are intelligent, and probably more intelligent than you.

Originally by: Sky Grunthor I'd recomend in-eve over this tbh. Don't know this site so don't trust it.
Yeah, I've only been in EVE for 4 years. So i'm totally trying to scam people.
I made this tool when in-EVE did not use the API, this tool is intended to thwart character scammers.
And its also exposes some scammers who tried to sell characters with negative 1+ billion characters which I was able to find their threads, find out that due to the disclosure of the wallet they chose to use in-EVE instead of my tool, and I was able to bust their scam attempt.
I'm dangerous! Watch out! |

Hopefully Augumene will be a killer ore that fixes the macro miner problem. If they nerf cloaks hopefully it won't be with the oft-suggested "make all of them have 10000 CPU", but instead just make the cloaks hurt all the ship stats they currently hurt, but more. If they made it so that it caused a large capacitor reduction (maybe 33-50% or something) and reduced lock time down to like three or four minutes (for battleships), it would make them undesirable for use on things with bad scan res. It won't make cloaking completely obsolete, which is apparently what some people want, but it will make farmers less likely to use them since they cut back on ratting productivity so badly.
Making NPC corps deccable won't help, since the farmers will just form up a new player corp whenever the corp they're in gets decc'd.

Edited by: Telemicus Thrace on 28/10/2007 09:06:56 Soryy if someone has already suggested this. Wouldn't it be a ***** up though if cheats like this got to grind their way back through 1.3bil then got their account banned.
Now that my friends is punishment.

Edited by: Dirk Magnum on 28/10/2007 09:41:20 I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. CCP should infiltrate the ISK selling market at EBay and wherever else such transactions take place and offer their own ISK for sale (obviously from a character who seems like the run of the mill ISK farmer), and subsequently hardcore ban everyone that buys any. Distrust over ISK buying will become so great that the market effectively shuts down, eventually. Between this and making in-game changes that make farming harder, it should eliminate a large percentage of bought ISK from Eve.

Heyy, for every raging white-knight-armchair-economist in EVE that gets an farmer account banned, or farming Raven shot up, some fella in a developing country just lost his wages (25US cents) for his (twelve hour) shift! Yaaay!
Farmers damage the player balance and the immersion of EVE. However I don't grudge them, because the most of them are doing nothing more than making a precarious living out of it. For this reason I'm pretty reluctant to jump on the KILL AND *****ALL FARMERS bandwagon.
So OP, while you're going to feel ashamed of what you've done, and you're going to have a lot of work bringing your wallet back into the black, look at the silver lining - you probably helped some poor sod keep their job.

As demeaning and dare I say pointless a life is if spent sewing shoes together for Nike, it's still better than spending it generating fake money in a computer game.

I suggested this almost 2 years ago and look what happened. Easy solutions are not gonna happen in eve.

It's against the rules, so whatever punishment is applied is fine I guess.
Seems a bit odd because it's not like buying isk is "imbalancing" when it's done legally. It's not like this game suffers from inflation when it has artificial mechanisms for inserting capital (I.E. bounties for Rats who die by the hundreds of thousands a day, valuable ore that comes back every day) and it seems to me that the trend has been a DECREASE in the price of goods since I've been playing rather than an increase. I suppose it's being done to protect profits from CCP's end, and I'm sure at least one accountant is very worried about the matter but it doesn't bother me in the slightest that it happens.

Not really. For all it's worth, gaming sweatshops tend to be safer than most industrial work environments (no fumes, chemicals, dangerous machinery or the like) and pay slightly more because because of the 'skilled' nature of the work.
It's a better living, though a really precarious one. I've never bought isk, but I'd hesitate to take action against farmers unless they were proven to cause grave damage to the game.

GTC sales are just as wrong as isk buying. CCP has double standards. I have no problem of people buying isk as they are only ruining their own gameplay. Making billions of your own isk ingame is rather fun. Then again, some people have real lifes and grinding their nuts off to field a pvp ship is not always an option.
CCP, STOP NEFRING EVE! Fix APOC!
