It would be pretty amuzing if a ISK farmer now sent everyone in this thread 300m ISK.. well.. if I wasn't in the thread that is. Love to see you all 'prove' you didn't buy it with you API keys and forum foo 
Step 1: Oh, hey, some stranger called "jdfhdsf" sent me 300M ISk. WTF? haha what a moop, well he's not getting it back. Welcome to EvE.
Step 2: Oh, hey, what if he's an ISK farmer? Welp, I'd better petition it:
"Dear GMs,
This guy called jdfhdsf sent me 300M ISK, and I have no idea why. Can you confirm that this ISK is legitimate and mine to spend, and not sent to me as a result of some ISK selling operation?
many thanks for your time and help,
Mal"
Step 3:
"Dear malcanis,
In fact jdfhdsf and his freinds are known ISK-sellers. We have removed the 300M ISK from you account, so you're back where you where. Thank you for helping us combat RMT ISK selling
The GMs"
Step 4: Oh well, I'm nothing down except for spending 2 minutes creating a petition. Carry on as before. |

well if i were you, i'd look through my wallet and locate the name of the GM who removed your ISK, then go over to the crime and punishment forum and place a bounty on the GM for 150 million isk.
if everyone starts doing this, then pretty soon being a GM wont be such a rewarding career in EvE.
oh and if your name happens to be Mhonaverge or Leader Tim, i'd start looking over your shoulder when you undock from now on
Good plan. I approve of this, because tipping GMs for removing RMT ISK is a great idea. |

/ms awaits Fifth Horseman calling GM Guard a fanboy post......
No, it's just a job. I bet he saw it advertised in the local paper.
I wouldn't eat your words just yet. The last thread like this started out the same way, smart ass GM being all proud and***** sure, then with Prism X and GM Nova back peddling like they were on steroids, then with a rather convenient Mitnal Ker-Plunk.
It ain't over till the fat lady sings. It doesn't sound great for this pair at the this stage, but I'd rather wait and see, thankyaverrrymuch.
After all, it isn't possible that you were wrong and even less likely that CCP are right.
At least, not in your posts. It's ironic that you call people "fanboys", since you only ever make the most hostile posts about CCP and refuse to interpret anything that happens in anything other that that which casts them in the worst possible light. For what it's worth, I don't think that you're a butt-hurt ISK buyer, like whatsisname Stormborn (6.5Bn in the hole, LOL) or a propagandizing ISK seller.
I think you're just an attention-seeking forum troll, with an outside chance that you're employed (or imagine yourself as being in their employ) by some other game company as an astroturfer (yes such people do exist).
Since you hate worthless, incompetent, dishonest, cheating, lying, biased CCP so much, stop giving them your money.

Ban half the farmers and increase the price of illicit ISK to that of the 'legal' GTC isk. Problem solved.
Oops, that would require CCP to lose those farmer subs instead of forcing people who want to continue to play to buy GTCs to get out of that negative balance.
Or the players could just STOP BUYING THE ******* ISK. 
Reducing the comparative advantage would help with achieving this goal, I think.

Just an FYI on the ISK farmer front:
I went through my "buddy" list last night (yeah, not many "buddies" in there ) and 90% of the farmers I had in there from 6 months ago appear inactive now. I watched over a few days to see if they were ever on when I was and...nada.
To conclude, either the farmers are recycling characters to disguise their activities or CCP do actually banninate them in significant numbers.
Yeah ok, not that much 'I' in this FYI. Sorry. 
Actually that's pretty encouraging.

And believe me, sooner or later this kind of thing will end up in court, and CCP's EULA and TOS will not count for ****...
Wont happend. Why? Because its CCP property! They are only giving you access to it!
Sorry, no. As players invest greater amounts of time and money they begin to acquire rights that will sooner or later begin to be recognized by the courts. At that point it won't matter what the EULA says, the courts will begin to eviscerate the EULA. That's just the way it is, moreso in some countries and less so in others. The sovereign power of the state trumps all in the end.
As I tried to allude to but you apparently didn't get, there are contracts you can sign now, today, that have clauses that cannot be enforced. Employee non-compete clauses are unenforceable in most States in the U.S. because courts have held that no one can be prohibited from earning a living. It's also widely understood that in the U.S. system you can't sign away certain rights. You can sign, but it's unenforceable.
I'm pretty sure that no matter how much they pay, they won't be granted the right to cheat.
Professional footballers earn tens of thousands of pounds per match played, but they can't sue FIFA when they get a 1/2/10 match ban for breaking the rules. |
