1 day old cahrs sell GTC for ISK and make lots of ISK and I work for a lot of months for ISK. They obtain wealth ingame by out of game means. I wll not use my credit card to buy ISK (through GTC) but it just plain sucks. Here comes Joe SHmo, with the credit card and outbids you and **** because he has bought a ton of GTC and made easy ISK. /rant
Scenario: Joe Shmo plays eve for 2 months, gets to know thge game and decides he wants more. Buys GTCs. Goes to the Sell forum. Sells GTCs, makes bills of ISK. Still on the sells forum...... Makes bid for BPOs, cool ships, many SP char. Comes ingame........

Well, let's put it this way. Would you like it if you got AS A PRESENT from CCP a "copy" of ANY account existing on the server, ANY ship you wanted (titan included) and a few hundred billion ISK to spend ?
No, really, think about it... WOULD YOU ? I certainly wouldn't. It would bore me to death and I'd probably just quit EVE soon after.
So let those who buy ISK buy it, it's THEIR problem, they're ruining their own fun. __ Always question everything. Including yourself. |

Keep your pants on there stranger. New players buying ISK, through whatever means, simply buy stuff they can't handle and then get pwned. Good for him, good for the economy.
The problem is in corps/alliances using the ISK to sustain a war they would otherwise have lost because of less attention spend on the economic side of corps-life.
But if that's how CCP wants their game to be played, so be it.
Suck it up and keep pwning ...

Also dislike it. I believe the mechnics for it need to be at least tightly reigned in from the sell forums.

Here is the lesser of 2 evils, you want GTC sales or ISK farmers?
I am certain you prefer GTC sales. We do not live in an ideal world, but we must make the best of it. -----------

No offence but we have lots of isk farmers still, ahm, now think how long it's been since the GTC introduction. True, they have to work harder for the same $, but they are still here and will not go away.

well i love GTC, i can't use a credit card, because i don't own one. why? because i don't want something that is, quite frankly, such an easy way to get into debt.
however, I buy my GTCs from the websites on the official suppliers list found on this website, and not from another player - as i believe that someone converting cash into in-game progress directly is simply wrong.
the GTC sellers in game are buying ISK as surely as they would if they contacted one of the chinese sweat-shops who opperate in this (and more or less every) MMO. ========================================== Iy |

Do not want to involve my corp you nub(hunter) but if you want to bring it on let me know to leave these guys alone and make a new corp. Or we could have a go in Querios or in Catch somewhere.
As for the GTC. Having GTC is OK. Buying them on ISK is NOT! If buying GTC with isk would help get rid of macroers than cool, but it does not.

only a short example ... today in jita an GTC seller was promoting his GTCs.
he was selling 19 30day GTCs for 150mio isk each. that makes 2.85bio isk.
after asking him how much he pays for the GTCs he said: 12.22Ç per GTC
so he bought for around 230Ç 2.85bio isk. that's if he his endevour is completly legal.
if we take a look at e-bay we see suddenly see that 100mio isk go for around 10-13Ç. in the worst case scenario for the e-bay seller his 2.85bio isk go for 285Ç - it's a win of 55Ç .. in the best case for the seller it's a win of 140Ç. (for spending 230Ç in the beginning) ___________________

i farm ingame ISK for my own personal ingame uses by simply ratting in 0.0 (as do most peeps that live out there) much more effective than using some GTC which is legal and i do support for those that cant play the game and at lesat with GTC = revenues for CCP = more money to improve the game
Ebay on the other hand cut off their hands and suicide bomb their macro bots as i dont agree with that.

I use GTC's to pay for my account. many people do. Are you suggesting that CCP get rid of something that is making them money? HA! good luck.
Perhaps making the sale of GTC's for ISK an exploit and a bannable offence would remidy this. ---

Sideeffect: number of active accounts would drop. A lot of people are running additional accounts and pay for them with ISK.

Without GTC's I would not have been able to play eve.
I made isk ingame and bought GTC to extend my account, I simply can not afford to pay fo rthe game that I love.
Its agreat concept for those who cant afford to play.
Its also a loophole to buy isk with RL cash, if people want to do this then fine let them waste their RL cash for ISK that you can loss in seconds ------

Thats the postive side of GTCs, is it worth the negative side. I don't know.
But you're correct experience counts. We have people on here asking how to fit CNRs because they've lost one or two. Then you see why, the worst fittings ever. You get people moaning that ships are underpowered then you see the fittings. How could they have got this much ISK without knowing the basics of fitting a ship? They've bought it and they lose it just as quick.

Pabs I stated the 1 reason only in order to explain why and what part exactly of the GTC system I hate. I know this would put you out of the game and it sucks but I hate the huge number of abusers out there.

gtc selling for isk is not bad i buy gtc thats how i play that game so if u kill my gtc i will kill u
and i think that if we will loss gtc for isk then another optional way to buy eve isk will come like ebay and we all know that ebay is BAD!

So what do we learn from this ? The people, who buy isk on ebay are misinformed or just stupid. They buy isk the 'illegal' way that gets them banned, if CCP finds out and they even pay more for it than they would pay for 'legal' isk. Nubies, sorry
