i have been playing this game for some time, and in that span of three years i have grown to love this game and its people. i seen many post on marco miners and thier hurting the game. i did not pay much attention to it till last week.
Was mining in my normal place talking to those who come and go. got to talking to a player that has played for as long as i have. as we talked he said he was worried about the game since marco miners dump billion of isk on sites out thier each day. i was thinking a addcit of the game till he told me that this game is a big part of his life. he cant walk and has trouble getting around and this game gives him somthing to do and contact with hundreads of people. so he moved on and as i mined i though how lucky i was and how a simple game like this can mean life to some.
So i went and found some of the marcos not hard to find realy they are all over. reported them and reported them and reported them. its not ccp falt thier is so few GMs and so many marcos. so as of today i will go after them myself i will report them as i always do then do all i can within the game mecanic rules to make thier life hell. as is said for evil to win all that is needed is for good men to do nothing......
if i am wrong so be it some things need doing no matter the cost...
Your friend will find a game to play, whether its Eve or not.
We all love it, and we all gnash our teeth at the insidious evil that is isk selling, that sucks the good vibes out of a game and turns it into a commercial virtual reality.
But realistically, companies can't do much about it, because the trade buys their accounts and pays for gametime, so its extra revenue.
And also I got to thinking. Some of my friends have multiple accounts and mine with all of them, whats the difference between that and macro-miners?
Some people have sex for fun, some people have sex for money, and I'm sure most of the time its a little of both, like Anna Nicole Smith marrying that old guy, of course she had sex for money, thats basically all marriage, its just trading sex and companionship for a %50 cut of what the spouse makes, of course theres real love involved.
I'm sure even the farmers do enjoy the game, even if they sell the isk for real currency to feed themselves.
So who is really to judge, whether someone is mining for fun, profit, or both, it comes down to the same thing anyway.
Bottom line : Find something you enjoy doing, and do it.
When that ends, find something different you enjoy doing, and do that.
The game is always gonna evolve, sometimes mining is uber-profitable, sometimes it sucks because of all the farmers dumping cheap ore and minerals on the market. Thats why we the players have to evolve with it.
I have mining 4 and astrogeo 3, but I'm not a miner, but you know if I ever found myself in a sector full of Crokite and Bistot, I would jump into a mining cruiser and suck down those roids like a cokehead diving into a mountain of cokaine.
