As long as it's officially sanctioned, you might as well get used to it. Take comfort in all the good karma you're saving up by not doing the same thing.

As the buyer in that system of GTC transfert is no more protected by CCP, the buyers are taking a serious risk.
Be cheered by the thought that he can be a scammer.

What the hell are you all on about? The secure way of trading GTC is supported. If he is a scammer or gets scammed, he is fully supported by CCP.

I agree, makes me sick to the stomach. CCP, you either support RMT or don't ******* pretend that your game is free of RMT. This is ********

1 guy selling that many is just laughable and stupid... but at least it's been giving the CCP seal of "we don't care just do it"

50 people are now happy they're playing without paying. 1 person has some fancy junk he didn't work for and will probably lose to pirates.
I don't see a problem really.

EVE has been RMT for ages... It's actually even worse than you think since people who buy T2 BPOs can make their investment back in real $ ... Not to mention those people who are earning real $ from winning the T2 BPO lottery.

i'd just like to quote this, because it's important enough to read twice. he's right, you know.
spend enough time being morally outraged, and pretty soon your moral outrage loses focus and you stop rationalising. who honestly gives a **** what somebody is going to do with that much cash? 8 billion is a drop in eve's financial ocean.
what if he'd sold a character created especially for sale? that's good old fashioned honest work and totally acceptable, right? of course not. you just create it and log in occasionally to change skills. exactly the same principal though: real life cash = isk.
care less.

actually this is what you can call racism..
you are complaining and trying to remove the chenise for farming and selling isk for $, and at the same time it's okey when some one else do it.. it's butting the chenise in a box saying "you can't do it, but we can" and thereby thinking your better then them and have the right to do this. this is the closest i have seen to racism on this forum :) (although the word have been used ALOT without any justice for it)

I personally like the system.
The rich players don't have to waste time making isk, they can sell GTC's and enjoy the game their way.
Players like me who are not quite poor but have time to burn can putter around, have fun making isk, and have our game time paid for by the rich people.
It's a win/win situation really.

plif?! did i TOTALLY miss something when people complained about chinese farmers?! if this is not a problem and you don't think its a problem that rich people can have a unfair advantage then WTH?!
lets just try the thought for a secund and drive it to the exstreme. let say some one wanna do the BOB trick, and he is Freaking rich IRL. this means he can solo handed pay his way to owning and ruling whole systems without even playing the game?! O.o
but well if this is your appinion then by all means do it.. BUT DON'T ever complain about chinese farmers and leave them to do what YOU clearly think is right for the game and its players ..

Yes, you definately missed something.
It's not racism. We don't like Chinese gold farmers, not because they're Chinese, but because of the underhanded, unsanctioned, bannable methods they employ to farm gold.

i dont see how selling gtc for isk affects the game in any way. for example, players may have lots of isk in game but not much money irl, may have families to feed and ecetera. but a single person buying 50+ gtc at a time is excessive and maybe that is where the problem lies?

okey exsplain what is wrong with there method ? almost all of them are ratting/missioning (because this can be done 24/7 in the same place). as people have said when you enter a system there in they get to the ss and cloak.(this would mean you don't even see them).
so i really don't see your problem with them unless its just because you think its wrong that THEY as a non ccp member make money from selling isk? if this is the chase, your saying its okey for some but not for others, and those others a of a nationallity which means your putting one part over another and this is what racism is.
kvote : "Racism is bigotry, prejudice, violence, oppression, stereotyping, discrimination or any other socially divisive practice whose primary basis is the concept of race.
However, beyond that, the term has varying and often hotly contested definitions. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another race or races. The Merriam-Webster's Webster's Dictionary dictionary defines racism as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race, and that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief.[1] The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism thus: the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others."
PS: i don't have a problem with any of this isk selling buying BUT it should be fair for all.. either its WRONG or its OKEY.

Chinese is a NATIONALITY, not a race. What the heck is with the "OMG RACISM" posters that come out of the woodwork every time someone says "Chinese" or "American" or "British" or any other country that people can be citizens of?
They are Chinese gold farmers because they sit in MMORPG sweatshops in China, farming gold for a Chinese business, and they speak Chinese. It is not an insult saying they are Chinese--it is a simple, straightforward fact.
Nobody is claiming that all people in EVE of nationality X are gold farmers. They are saying that some gold farmers in EVE are of nationality X. You don't need to go nuts over someone saying the name of a country.
