PrettyGirlsMakeGraves	Posted - 2007.10.20 18:56:00 - [31] YOU SHOULD BE PERMA-BANNED and YOUR PERSONAL INFO SHOWN FOR ALL TO SHAME.
Jacque DeCoure	Posted - 2007.10.20 19:14:00 - [32] Originally by: Supi This is stupid. Going after individual buyers, the people who like the game enough to spend more of their own money on the games fake currency, when you have whole corporations full of people who are obvious ISK farmers is ******* mind boggling. Taking queue from the US war on drugs? Wrong. In this case it isn't comparable to the War on Drug Users - it is closer to an attempt (by most countries) to discourage a Black Market Economy. A player who wished to purchase Isk can just Purchase GTC's and then sell them for ISK easy enough - much different from a US Citizen who wished to smoke a joint legally.
Dax Jarvanus Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2007.10.20 19:16:00 - [33] yes buying isk is lame. But, true, going after the buyers is pointless, because, in reality, these are just people looking for a different kind of shortcut, which may still be cheating, but buying the isk is alot less of an infraction than selling it IMHO. Anyway, this whole thread reminds of people in jail. They're always the dumb ones, cause they're the ones that got caught. It always made me laugh when people in jail act tough, cause its like, "Ok, tough guy, but you're still a bonehead cause YOU GOT CAUGHT!!!". Anyway, kudos for being honest and willing to share your experience. I also think that after all is said and done, for how long this type of thing has been going on, people that get caught now should probably be banned. I mean, we all know better by NOW, right? DONT BUY ISK!!! EARN IT, or STEAL IT (bu stealing ore, maybe?), just don't buy it.

citizen amarr33sd3g4	Posted - 2007.10.20 19:42:00 - [35] So after a few weeks of ratting you will have learned nothing.

Ethan Bejorn Pator Tech School	Posted - 2007.10.20 20:12:00 - [37] Same thing happened to me, but the difference is I did not buy ISK. I have 1 billion ISK removed from my main's account and now he is at -827m and is the CEO of a large corporation. I don't know what I did that makes them think I bought ISK, but they say I sold an item to an ISK seller and they have revered all of his transactions. I can't even update my clone at this point and will lose skill points if I am to get podded. I would think that busting the ISK sellers would be the answer, but I guess CCP wants to punish their long time paying customers for their ignorance.
Lemptie Gallente Glass House	Posted - 2007.10.20 20:20:00 - [38] I wanna thank all the isk buyers,for the isk sellers spam on all public channels.i wanna bet you will see them soon on all forums also . Thank you isk buyer,that eve is looking day by day a bit more like WoW.
Valea Wrath Of Khaine	Posted - 2007.10.20 20:22:00 - [39] Shame on you for buying directly! This is totally unfair, people with more cash should not have an advantage at eve. This is why game time cards are a totally fair altern-oh wait...

Cipher7 OldBastardsPub SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.10.20 20:30:00 - [42] You bought Isk from farmers. In pennance for your crime, you must buy Isk from CCP.
Bella Oxmyx	Posted - 2007.10.20 21:24:00 - [43] How the heck is a new player to know that buying ISK isn't cool? The first thing you see is the spam on the rookie channel, *right in the game*! The Eula? Who reads the Eula? Prior to Eve, the only MMORPG I'd played was Second Life, where buying stuff off site was part of the fun, and encouraged. The way I got clued in that it was a no-no was by talking to a guy in a game store who was a long time player. Shouldn't CCP put it in the tutorial or something? Or maybe it's me, maybe I'm a little F'd up maybe...
Teraos Sanguine Legion	Posted - 2007.10.20 21:30:00 - [44] Your lucky you didnt get banned...
Ebodhisatva Gallente hunter killers	Posted - 2007.10.20 21:38:00 - [45] Originally by: Lady Disortium I an the one, becuase by judging by everyones attitude no one else has done this. This is a cautionary tale. I bought 1.5b isk a couple of weeks ago and was merrily ploding along and playing my game. I logged on a few days ago to a -1.34b isk wallet (I bought some goodies with the isk). Now I can not initiate convo's, I can not do in station trades, I can not put anything on the market. Be warned that if you decide to buy isk the consequences are kinda hard to deal with and you will be left with 5 options. 1. buy GTC's to bring your wallet back to a positive level. 2. reroll your character 3. mission and rat until you have a positive wallet (keep in mind ammo is going to be a problem) 4. quit eve 5. hope your friends and corpmates will bail you out I know, I am a terrible person and you are all doing the lmao/rofl thing and that is fine. I have elected to mission and rat my way out of it but that isnt the point here, DONT BUY ISK is the point. The consequenses arent worth the shiney new toys. You are a CCP member to check the moral issue's on this matter, PROPS for you m8, now get back to work Originally by: CCP Prism X You wont have any LPs. You need LPs with said Corp and like I said I just nuked your LPs.

Normally I would be in favour of banning ISK buyers, but since you have been good enough to admit that you were wrong (even if it was only because you got caught), I'll just say thank you for publicising the fact that ISK buyers DO get caught and DO get punished. By doing this, you help undo some of the harm you have caused. I hope your corpmates will give you enough ammo to help you honestly restore your ISK balance. It shouldn't take all that long if you can 0.0 rat or run L4s. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.

Adonis 4174	Posted - 2007.10.20 22:24:00 - [48] Originally by: Acoco Osiris Originally by: Lady Disortium I am missioning and ratting until my wallet is in the black again. Isn't it usually called "in the green"? Not in the UK certainly. Your balance used to get printed in red or black depending which side of zero it was. Probably another practice to fall by the wayside courtesy of the colourblind but the term remains. ----- Visible Implants - good for so many occasions
Major Death Caldari Space Salvage Incorperated	Posted - 2007.10.20 22:34:00 - [49] Quote: You're wrong. Going after the buyers is the ONLY way to stop this problem. Probably right, as long as there is a market there will be isk sellers. However until the buyers get wiped out, the isk sellers are hurting the people caught in the middle, so measures need to be taken against the sellers as well. Quote: Be warned that if you decide to buy isk the consequences are kinda hard to deal with and you will be left with 5 options. 1. buy GTC's to bring your wallet back to a positive level. So CCP punish players for selling and buying isk, then give the offenders an easy way out by buying isk from CCP? Is there no word in Icelandic for hypocrisy? My original sig was 'Enjoy lag free play in a dynamic space MMORPG'. It was removed for lack of EVE content! ;)
Chr0nosX Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.10.20 22:41:00 - [50] Stupid thing to have done tbh. Though GTCs are almost as bad.

Toria Nynys Minmatar	Posted - 2007.10.20 22:44:00 - [51] You guys don't get it, do you. CCP supports ISK for GTC sales to combat ISK for $. They know that people will spend $ to get an advantage in game so they provide an out that doens't encourage massive farming ops overseas. The GTC sale proceeds go directly to the company providing you this game instead of the pocket of some sleazebag with roomfuls of starving farmers slaving away 23 hours a day. People can do the math on working an extra hour at a fast food joint vs. ratting for a month. They will be tempted to take shortcuts every so often. Hate it or loathe it, it's life. At least CCP has a creative solution to the problem that benefits the game (more development $) rather than harming it (massive and ever increasing farmer presence).

The GTC sale proceeds go directly to the company providing you this game instead of the pocket of some sleazebag with roomfuls of starving farmers slaving away 23 hours a day. The problem is more that people who buy isk are allowed to dig themselves out of the hole by buying more isk, instead of having their character deleted. Its a pointless punishment. Plus ISK sales, no matter what the source, hurt non-isk buying customers. My original sig was 'Enjoy lag free play in a dynamic space MMORPG'. It was removed for lack of EVE content! ;)
Ed Anger Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.10.20 22:51:00 - [53] CCP please block any use of the term WoW from now on, for everyone's sanity.

No, I'm not back. I'm just on the forums posting in threads related to farmers to further my agenda against farmers to maybe encourage CCP to become a little bit more proactive in ridding them from the game. Lol! He's so self righteous he's willing to pay for an account just to protest. Voogru should get a golden mall cop trophy or somefink. \/ ================================================ Endless Love
DHB WildCat 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.10.20 23:54:00 - [58] The punishment you recieved is just. I bet you dont do it agian 8). Dont listen to the omg ban him babies. The lesson was learned, the punishment hard, and the ability to inform the public about what will happen beneficial. As I frown and scoled you on the isk buying, I apload your courage to admit the fault. Learn from it, and trust me. The shiney toys are not worth it. 8)
Fuazzole	Posted - 2007.10.21 00:51:00 - [59] Edited by: Fuazzole on 21/10/2007 00:52:26 That's not all the consequenses, your only counting what happend to you, you forgot that you just... Funded terrorism, now some one in a Rogue state like North Korea, America or Irac now has the funds to slap together a bomb. Also thier would be no <in-game-money> farmers if their were no custormers, and their will always be the "I learn by doing"
Terex193 Amarr Advanced Security And Asset Protection	Posted - 2007.10.21 01:20:00 - [60] this post is merely a warning,DONT BUY ISK! buy gtcs snip Sig contains inappropriate words. - hutch O come on its Censored! A dev called me a Forum Warrior :)
