If the character was legally transfered to the new owner, and the previous owner had bought isk off farmers then there is no way the new owner should be punished, I know CCP have **** poor customer service, but thats just ridiculous.

Once again. CCP's stance on "isk buying" is garbage. Until they stop allowing GTC's to be sold for isk, them busting ISK sellers is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Dulcinea Toboso,

How much are you in the hole? I am willing to donate the isk to you to be at zero isk if you're still in debt. As long as this is ok with Wrangler and i'm not violating some rule that I wouldn't know about.

Evemail me with 'Dulcinea Toboso' the name of the character to transfer the isk to.

*laughs* He's already had at least five players in the corp offer him the ISK before he posted this.

The problem, Wrangler, is that after 4 years in this game you still havent removed the mechanisms by which isk farmers are allowed to flourish.

For four years we have had static level 4 courier missions and isk farmers running them 24/7. Even where agony lives we have reported characters that haul 24 hours a day with the same char. Nothing has happened to those players. Down in Misaba, the haulers run constantly.

Macro miners still infest the high sec regions of space and even the low sec regions. With the instant intel of Local chat, Macro miners and ratters can operate in 0.0 with impunity, merely fitting a cloak and warping off whenever something comes in local.

CCP has castrated the ability of the player base to handle the problem and they haven't handled the problem themselves and that is the reason this unfortunate player got caught in the crossfire of flying fish.

Instead of spending time and effort tracking down hapless people who supposedly bough isk 6 months ago, you should be devoting those resources to repairing the problem.

Farming is not EULA violation. Buying ISK is ...

---

Clause 16 of the Terms of Service could be applied to that, though.

Game only costs $10-15 per month. So a farmer would pay this amount extra for the game per account that he owns. Right now they sell 1b for $55 so which means that $15 is 270 mil in ISK that he'll have to sell per month. A single farmer account would have no trouble generating this money. Assuming they make something like 10 mil per hour with one account this is less than 3 days for a farmer to make enough ISK to sell to get $15. Meanwhile demand for ISK will surge. According to some studies I've seen one out of every 5 people has bought virtual currency and EVE is one of those games where this statistic is even higher, possibly 1 in 4 people has bought ISK and many are frequent buyers. It is very obvious that without the GTCs farmers would make much more money (and CCP will make much less).
