1. very little margin ? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: Ulstan I always laugh when someone tries to 'drive out' a competitor by tanking the margin. The barriers to entry and exit from a market in EVE are non existent. It's trivial to stop adjusting your order when the margins a...

2. Faction Ships Via Market - in Market Discussions [original thread]
In fairness, its a trade off. Yes, putting them on "the" market will help push down spreads (and consequently margins) due to the adjustability of offer prices and the 0.01 ISK game. But remember that every player can view every contract from a...

3. "Hi guise !" Buy PLEX. Thank me later. - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: Durnin Stormbrow EvE is already Free 2 Play via isk for Plex, and the entry requirements and grind time can't get much lower. Grind to play != free to play. You don't get anywhere near the same folks by saying "Hey yo...

Edited by: Thrasymachus TheSophist on 02/12/2010 02:25:50 Originally by: Ash Donai Let's think about this, F2P works based on the fact that there are a great many players who are willing to pay far more than the $15/mo which in turn s...

5. "Hi guise !" Buy PLEX. Thank me later. - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: Diomedes Calypso The part in the dev blog about becoming a dinasaur sorta got me thinking that there was some small chance they would move away from as expensive a monthly subscription price. A cheaper monthly cost could re...

Originally by: Tasko Pal Originally by: RAW23 A response to Thrasymachus' last post. This exchange is going a bit faster than my own research can keep up with at the moment so I will just sit back and enjoy for a bit. Quote: ...

7. People say that courier contracts aren't very profitable... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
The issue as I understood it was whether or not it was ethical to breach a hauling contract in Eve, not whether breaching a hauling contract IRL is a crime or a tort. The importation of criminal law and legal remedies such as conversion is irrele...

8. People say that courier contracts aren't very profitable... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Raw: You misunderstand "efficient breach" and you asked your friend the wrong question. Efficient breach says that the "penalty" for breaching a contract is merely to make the non-breaching party "whole" under the governing legal system. In Eve,...

9. People say that courier contracts aren't very profitable... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: RAW23 What I haven't, unfortunately, been able to find is anything on situations that might be more directly analogous to a partially secured or under-collateralised courier contract in eve, such as putting up collateral i...

10. People say that courier contracts aren't very profitable... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Raw - Because you seem legitimately interested. Research the difference between a "recourse" and "non-recourse" loan. All contracts in Eve are non-recourse. As for your page 3 recap, I can't but help think you're still missing my point: Why woul...

Originally by: Caldariftw123 Originally by: Thrasymachus TheSophist Consider: If the offeror was simply relying on trust (the violation of which underlies your ethical obligation) why have any collateral requirement at all? The u...

Originally by: Mme Pinkerton Edited by: Mme Pinkerton on 11/11/2010 23:04:35 Thrasymachos, I don't really see what part of your argument does not also apply to only partially/not collateralized debt as traded on MD. Could you clarify...

13. People say that courier contracts aren't very profitable... - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: RAW23 If collateral is set at X this is actually a signal to the person accepting the cargo telling him its value, either as much as or rather than a protection measure for the person setting the contract. As far as I can s...

Originally by: RAW23 Ermmm ... the cheer section does realise that this is theft, right? There is no difference between stealing from a courier contract and scamming a bond or loan. Yes, the mechanisms are there to place adequate collatera...

17. Diverse income sources? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
While there is a chance of losing money in trading, it is minimal. I have only been seriously burned once - on Y-T8 MWDs. Yeah, it hurt, but it was made back in a week. Just flip through popular items, find ones with decent volumes and good spread...

19. Diverse income sources? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Edited by: Thrasymachus TheSophist on 10/11/2010 03:56:15 You can make a ton of money trading - this is true. But its self-regulating, at least for those who have some semblance of sanity. Its booooring as hell. My suggestion would be: Char ...

20. Why are CCP helping the scammers of Eve? - in Market Discussions [original thread]
Originally by: Bluebeard I would propose that the skill remains unchanged, but if a buy fails due to insufficient funds, then the funds held in escrow are reduced to zero. This makes escrow into a non-refundable deposit, or you could cons...
