this implies that you intend on making real world profit on imaginary world money. nobody spends $100-150k without expecting to get something out of it.

If you'd be interested in something like what you stated above you'd have started reading the TOS and the EULA first.
The next logical step weould have been to contact ccp as they have all rights to their service. The contact adress is easy to find. You only had to use the 'contact' link or the 'ask a question' link. Strange, but such things happen.
How would you contact people whose names are easily accessible with the ingame tools and the alliance forum (called alliance forum) and who could easily contacted using ingame means? I think you're not paying your full share of taxes, nor do you use your Brain1.0 enough.

I haven't said I plan to sell isk..
I get the feeling you yourself sell codes for isk, but somehow you're exempt from the thrashing I'm taking on this thread.
Must be nice.
even if i had the money to buy time codes and sell them for isk i wouldnt be doing it to make a profit

This is lower than the guy publicly begging for ISK a few weeks ago.
It's people like you that ruin MMOs. I hope you get banned or at least investigated.
And please explain to me how this doesn't imply that you wish to make RL profit out of it?

Let me guess - it was just a slip of the 'tongue' and you don't intend to buy GTCs to sell for ISK to convert back into dollars at all...
You will find that in this game the buying and selling of in game currency is frowned upon even more so than in other games. I would be supprised if you found people willing to buy off you if they knew what you implied you were going to do.

Ok. Lets put it this way.
You buy a game time card for 15$US.
you then sell if for say 100Mil Isk.
How are you going to make money(US Dollers or what ever you use) from this?
the only person recieveing money is CCP for the cost of the Time card.
Why everyone is jumping on you is this.
If you buy $150,000 US Dollers worth of time codes, you would recieve 10,000,000 Mill Isk.
When you have that much game currency, how is that equated to US Dollers you are going to spend? The only thing you can buy with Isk, is more time codes..
nowhere in this situation are people giveing you Dollers. YOU are the one paying for things with dollers.
So it breaks down to this.
your 15$ buys a 1 month time code, which gets you 100Mil Isk. where do you make a profit in US Dollers?
Do you see where we get at. All we see is you tradeing large sums of US Dollers for imaginary money(isk). What will you do with that imaginary money(isk) that will earn you REAL US Dollers.
The logical conclusion is you will be selling that imaginary money(isk) for real money(US DOllers) which is illegal, highly frowned upon by the player base, and a horrible thing to do that will get you sent to hell(if you believe in it).
Does this clear up why everyone is calling you scum?
If there is something we don't know about, please inform us. becuase from what you've stated, you are a "Gold Farmer" which is a hated thing in all MMO's.
well, until I figure Illustrator out. :)
And I cant' type eiterh. :)

Or he is going to buy a bunch of GTCs and sell it cheap and fast. Make a reputation and then buy some more gamecards. Sell them to alliance for huge amount of iskies. Then use the iskies to buy GTCs from other players and then sell it.

CCP investigate and ban users buying and selling ISK. They can't watch everybody, I have feeling that you just fell under the spotlight.
With the amount of people that I know who have bought isk and gotten away with it, I seriously doubt what you are saying ;-)

c'mon people read.
What he's saying is that he's looking into brokering deals for those looking to sell gtc's and buy isk. In return, he gets a small share of eithe rht eusd they spedn or the isk they get for it.

Did you totally miss the part where he said he buys the cards himself from EVE online and spends roughly 150,000 dollars a year?

He buys, then resells them for cash to people looking to buy isk, and brokers the deal with the people looking to buy gametime for isk.
He's looking for a high turnover and a reliable market for those wanting gametime, he knows he can find a reliable market for the isk already. His comission seems to be a 1-2$ fee that comes on top of the normal cost of the gametime card he 'sells' to the isk buyer as part of the deal.
That is at least the gist of it as I understood it.

There are plenty of places to buy timecodes online already, and no brokering is needing since ccp will ban anyone who tries to scam aswell as reverse any isk that was stolen.
He also wants them to pay him 1-2 dollars for every deal he brokers? Again, why would anyone pay him when they are protected by ccp anyway? Plus hes profiting real life money out of ccps game by encouraging RMTing even further.
Damn, go out and get a real job instead of mooching every dollar you can by encouraging isk for real life money sales.

First, in the scheme of things, $150,000 over a year is peanuts to CCP.
Second, CCP would make the money anyway, unless players quit because they could not buy their GTC's from this individual.

Lots of love in this thread.
Probalby because the guy is more than likely the same guy who riped off a bunch of people over on UO a coupleof months ago, bascialy someone traded UO version of GTCs in order to make a small margin for himself and then after a while started tradeing fake GT and then bailed.

This is hilarious.
Buy a timecode and sell it for isk = WTB 100 mil for 15$.
No matter what you say, thats the same as buying ISK, so you don't flame the people buying ISK but you flame those selling it? This guy is making some iquiries, address them or don't flame. It's flamers who ruin the game.
No doubt I'll be flamed now for not conforming to the Collective Mind of the Forum Warriors (CMFW for short).

I'd buy them from eve online. Traditionally I spend anywhere between 100 and 150,000 dollars a year in gametime codes..
That's the kind of volume I was doing in ultima online.
I'm looking to do more in eve online.
I know..it seems like a lot..but I'm content making like 1-2$ on a deal. Which with a good reputation and fast service usually tends to dominate the market.
But again I'm just getting into eve so I have to do some lookin around first hehe
admits to selling the isk for real life cash, ban this scum please!
Your a moron. Nothing was admitted and in my first post I said I'm new to eve, so how could I be some huge mega seller..Take a chill pill and relax a little. I'm on more of a fact finding mission here than anything else.
So far the only facts your giving me is that you have a crappy attitude and a rude mouth.
Try to educate not player hate :)
ok MORON, look at the red, you said it, you admitted to it, you are planning to selling isk for cash, ccp is notified.

There is a system in place to allow players that cannot afford the monthly eve fee to play by spending isk on a game time card that another player buys. CCP don't lose out on the subscription fee and a little isk changes hands between some buddies for one paying the sub for the other. There's no way to stop it so they legitimised it.
On the other end of the scale is this. This constitutes mass abuse of the system. There is no way in hell that CCP intended something this outrageous to be allowed, but it is. They know that the abuse of the system is there and Kieron has posted before that they tried to do this as something nice for the community to allow something people did anyway but that they are aware that it has backfired on them.
I, for one, would like to see the isk for game time card trade made against the rules again. It has no place in an online game. I could use it to buy my way into eve (character and all) or cash out on the many billions I can make in eve. I could run eve like a business and make enough RL cash off it to pay the rent. I don't but if they don't disallow it, there may come a time when I throw my moral stance on this out in favour of paying the bills. It's a slippery slope and eve is falling down it fast...

Locked to prevent Editing.
I'll bring this one to the attention of the GM team.
While selling GTC's For ISK is permitted, doing it en-masse and making an out of game profit is prohibited.
This ends the discussion in this thread.
