Some farmer makes some even more isk from a sold GTC that he bought for real money! And why would he be banned?

Originally by: Commander Krispy Man, you guys either need to take off or put on your glass's.
I can buy an ETC for isk, no cash to CCP. I can buy ISK and play the game for 1/2 price, no cash to ccp, cash to xjytcs instead.
Any player that has the brains to do simple math is probably already doing what I have spelled out and CCP gets no cash.
No cash = no means to support the hard costs or keeping the game online.

Krispy, if CCP actually sold GTC's for ISK instead of real dollars, then yes, they could be in trouble. Therefore, they only sell the GTC's for real dollars, then OTHER PEOPLE trade those GTC's for ISK.

Seriously Commander Krispy, where does the GTC come from that someone sells in game for ISK?... now don't rush an answer, just think about it for a day or two..
Now consider the fact that there are unemployed or students in the world, unable to pay for the came in real life cash, but they are part of this community we are part of and love, but they can do a days missions or mining and pay for a month... and CCP still get their money, and thus more customers... so better for us all.
If only satire could be this satirical
Read the above, think about it, and tell me where I am wrong :D please.

IF he did not fly to Iceland, to go to CCP Headquarters, in order to personally place the money in whosever pocket it needs to be in, the cat cannot play.

Any player that has the brains to do simple math is probably already doing what I have spelled out and CCP gets no cash. No cash = no means to support the hard costs or keeping the game online.
GTC bought -> CCP gets the money used to buy the GTC GTC used -> bye bye goes the code attempting to keygen codes -> surefire way to get BANNED (at least I hope so) once you use a GTC, CCP should be able to know WHERE you bought that code from, originally... their own shop, or some online retailer (because, guess who issues those codes) if it's their shop -> instant identification if it's a retailer -> at least they know which retailer, and they can ask/check if the code was actually sold already
So, basically, ACTIVE accounts means money for CCP, regardless of how exactly that money is paid to CCP, directly or indirectly, and no matter through how many hands it passed
The reason why the "price" of a GTCs in ISK vs the "price" of real-world money is out of whack is because FARMERS DON'T WANT GTCs so much as they want real cash. So, for all intents and purposes, whenever you buy ISK illegally from a farmer, then shift some of those ISK as GTCs, all you're doing is being a middleman and "taking your cut" in the illegal resale of in-game ISK. You're an ISK dealer. Nothing more, nothing less. Buy low, sell high.

And the GTCs, where do they come from? Out of thin air?
To CCP it doesn't matter if they give out a 30 GTC for $15 or if they charge someone $15 that he can play 30 days.
In the end the money for playing 30 days ends up at CCP. So your theory doesn't make sense to me.
Furthermore you mix up things completely. ISK farmers do not sell GTC, why should they? They have enough ISK already and don't need any more, so why should they pay RL money to get ISK for it when they farm it in game already. Some farmers illegaly try to exchange their isk into RL money, but that is exactly the opposite to selling GTC for RL.
Additionally you mix up isk sellers with GTC sellers. But was I said, these two things are completely the opposite to each other. Maybe you should think a bit more first?
And finally you say that everyone will buy GTC with isk and so CCP's income will go to zero? Well, as above explained, that is simply wrong.

Actually I split my sides open reading this thread as well. Not because of Krispy either.
I am laughing at the 35 douchebag morons posting stuff like "epicfail" when the epic fail is in the lack of doing the simple math to realize that selling the GTC to then allow players to sell for in game money IS A BOON FOR ISK FARMERS!!! READ THE CAPS AGAIN....IT IS A BOON FOR ISK FARMERS BECAUSE YOU CAN BUY MORE ISK FROM THE FARMERS COMPARED TO THE COST OF BUYING THE GTC YOURSELF!
So, lets review I go buy 1billion isk for $50 to which I can buy 6 GTC off of players and have 100mill left over! I just bought 6 months of eve playtime for 50 bucks!
Now, can we please surgically remove the cranial rectal insertion blockage please!

Let me see if I understand...
I go out and buy (outside the rules by the way) 1 Billion ISK for $50.00...
I then take that 1 billion ISK and use it to buy 6 months of GTC's (cost 100 million ISK) thus for $50.00 I get to play for 6 months (normally this would be $14.99 * 6 = $89.94) and have 100 million ISK...
After 6 months, I can do it all over again...
I still have not figured out the point where CCP is "Losing" money... they are still being paid for my account (By the GTC seller)...
Ok, Ok, so I may log in to find I have a -900,000,000 in my wallet (CCP reclaimed the 1 Billion ISK) but that is just Eve...
By the way, Can I have your stuff? (if CCP is going under, you will no longer need it)
None of us is as dumb as all of us...
