Kill All The Others Deprived of Existence by Mercenaries of the Night

Hey guys,
A big word of caution here. Over the last few days I have had several of my pvp/pve and carebear characters up for sale on the eve online forums. While most of the offers have been legit, I have rec'd several offers to sell my characters for real money (this is considered a RMT and is prohibited by the EULA).
It is my personal belief that persons that are attempting to pay for your character with real money are either unaware of the rules, or, more likely, they are very aware of the rules and are also aware that the trade of virtual items, such as eve characters is pretty much a win win scenario for them.
The simple truth is you will never get your money and they will have your character. You also have no recourse to get your character back as you will be unable to petition the loss to a GM because what you have done is illegal and the GM's are more likely to ban all your accounts if you do decide to file a petition.
The Dev's have provided us with a means to trade our stuffs here on the forums using game money and a systems to support purchases, even if it does take a bit of time.
Protect yourself and play within the rules of the game and the protocols which have been established. If a purchaser offers real world money to you, have the brains to say no and ask for isk instead. I would also strongly recommend that you file a petition immediately and copy and paste the convo into the petition field so that the specific details are included.
After the nuking that Unholy rage dropped on the isk farmers and sellers it seems quite obvious that those players need to get new characters and get back into business and they will have no remorse when it comes to screwing someone over to get what they need.
Protect yourself and support the game by playing within the rules.
Love,
Benny, your friend...even if I am shooting at you

Summer is coming to an end, it's bound to be a bit turbulent - some folks selling 'cause they won't have the time once work/school starts, others buying 'cause they're back at school and will have more time to play (and have no social skills).
I second Benny's original comment. I'm posting with an alt, but I've sold a number of characters over the last week and saw a few real cash offers come in.
Unless you're hurting for grocery money in RL the $$ you get will be next to nothing, and to Benny's point, you'll most likely never see the cash.
Your time in Eve is a sunk cost so don't expect to 'cash out' when you get bored with your toon or decide to leave. If you're bored, sell the toon for ISK and buy a new one. If you're leaving, sell the toon here and give the ISK to someone you know/like who's still in the game and will have some fun with it. It's a game. A big investment of time, absolutely, but don't fool yourself into thinking that you can turn that investment into real-life moolah.
Here's an idea for an ISK sink - 5B ISK for a permanent, anchorable in-game monument.
Oh, and if you are leaving the game, can I have yur stuffs?

Yeah, lotta scams going on atm.
Never pay real cash for a char and never transfer a char for real cash. CCP can track ISK payments but not you cash, which is why they have the rules the way they are to protect you from scammers.
A lotta unrealistic expectations from the sellers on the bazaar atm also.

And a lot of buyers putting ridiculously low bids on toons as soon as they're posted, in an effort to drive prices down.

I have an Idea how about you quit being a homo and quit trolling everyone and there mother on these boards. I have seen you derail multiple threads in the bazar today. Do you think you work for ccp? lol
Must have no life.
On a side note character sales are on the rise today, am I right? :):)
Any thoughts on the market?
Feel free to post away :)

i agree with the OP, it cannot be that if some by chance accedently sells for RL cash they get banned over here in denmark in the real world where i live, we do things right, you all do things wrong and because of that i know that i know that i know that i am right and you are wrong. great OP i really love reading this, also, did we group once in winding caverns? you got that blue cloth thingie, i was the one that ninjaed all the chests lmoa :) im not you i know that you know that i know that.

Who's stupid enough to give out account info before getting paid anyways? They deserve it. _________________
