Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 04:10:00 - [1] Voogru... Sold! BTW people, head on over to the game time code forum and tell the guys selling game time cards about the issue of farmers. Some of the GTC people are unaware they are selling to farmers, and others will not do it when it is obvious that they are selling cards to farmers. just one more thing we can do to help try to stop the spread of dirty isk.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 04:39:00 - [2] Originally by: Verx Interis I just single handedly added about 60 or 70 to that number... And my fingers hurt... TBH guys, it's not about inflating a number. I spend a TON of time, as does Voogru and others that hunt farmers. CCP needs to acknowledge this is an issue and try to help us help them stop it. If they see some really huge number because someone hit reload 50 times it means zip... if they see 10,000 people on the forums with this sig it starts to make them think about it.

Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 14:05:00 - [4] Originally by: The Wounded Just get a gang up and kill them when you spot them. And tbh i doubt a signature will help. They cloak. They log. They have the 'I win eve' button, at the moment. And they infest the game time code forum heavily, so do your part in pointing them out to people and fly with this sig :)
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 14:56:00 - [5] Originally by: GM Nova Hey voogru, Can you add /buyers after the "Sellers." You're my man voogru... Nova.... What of the massive number of farmer accounts that infest eve using GTCs? If they are using dirty isk for the GTCs do the sellers of these GTCs get burned when they get discovered? I know it's not fair to the GTC seller but some of it is just blatantly obvious.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 15:32:00 - [6] Originally by: Sqalevon I support this. I'm glad because CVA protect farmers in providence.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.09 22:09:00 - [7] Yeah, pull up contracts and go thru the faction item contracts. Within the first 5-10 minutes you will find a farmer selling a faction item that has bought 1 paradise cruise missile or a defender missile for 1 billion isk or some other inflated price. We know, CCP knows, the isk farmer shops know that we know, but keep doing it beacause there has been -0- action against it. The instant the 1 billion isk for 1 unit of ammo or a noobship trades stop producing legit isk transfers for them they will probably move to something less public, like trades at the station that we cannot see, but inconvenient for them. At that point we will have no way of tracking the trillions of isk flowing from farmers to GTC sellers that end up with lost GTC and isk. (poor bastards) Yes, it's trillions of isk. Go add it up.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.10 16:09:00 - [8] let's keep the load counts legit tho :) More people having it means you support our cause. If you hate isk farmers in eve put this image in your sig.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.10 16:18:00 - [9] Originally by: Mashie Saldana The problem is that CCP estimate up to 10% of the playerbase to be ISK buyers so that is about 20.000 accounts that the farmers happily can supply with ISK. To permaban buyers at the first offence would be a good start. It's too easy to legally repair negative wallets using GTCs. The numbers above is from the GM roundtables at Fanfest btw. Ok that is just not cool. Then the numbers of isk farmers that I suspect are out there actually fall in line with that. I have maintained that it takes at least 2 accounts to supply 1 isk buyer with his billion a week. An isk farmer told me that they can usually produce by ratting only about 250m a day in isk. That is including the 10-15 officers they get but excluding loot profit.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.12 20:37:00 - [10] Originally by: Cpt Fina Originally by: Pitt Bull CCP is behind the ISK selling, and if not, they are terrible at enforcing their own EULA... CCP probably gets half their subscription income from the farmers. The farmers are making more money than the employees at CCP Got a link? I stopped counting when I passed 30,000 farmers documented. That was a year ago, and no it does not account for banned accounts. At the rate that accounts are banned, if 5,000 of those in my notes were banned - that would be an astonishing number to me. There are some 450,000 accounts (give or take) How many are REAL people? Think that one over...
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.12 22:01:00 - [11] Originally by: Cpt Fina Like to know which criteria one has to fullfill to count as a farmer to you. I started to count 6 months before you did and I don't have any proof of anyone being a farmer. Think that one over... I love this guy! CCP fanboy in an epic farmer thread You sir, never saw a farmer in eve? YOU FAIL.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.12 22:57:00 - [12] Originally by: Cpt Fina Loyal Servant: See Mikelio Raijan's post. Even proof is not enough for a fanboy. Look at other posts where I have posted proof. I guess that all of us that hunt farmers in eve in our spare time are just fabricating this? Instead of giving me a hard time why don't you go look in your nearest empire ice field or random 0.0 system, or have a look at some contracts... follow the isk like the rest of us instead of telling us we are wrong. Prove me wrong... Prove us all wrong.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.13 01:04:00 - [13] Originally by: Cpt Fina Originally by: Omega Man CCP can change the EULA anytime they like. Till that time voogru is simply asking CCP to enforce their own rules. Was that an answer to my post? If so then I'm not sure how it is relevant to what I wrote. You mean that they can change the EULA so it includes guidelines to how we, as players, are to identify isk-farmers? Please elaborate Only a matter of time before people start chiming in asking for us to prove these guys are farmers. Why would CCP state in another thread they are, and claim to ban them - yet they show in my address book. That thread was named 'Large scale criminal activity' Add some of those to your address book, and then ask me why they are still logging in... banned? I did not say it, a CCP representative did.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.15 22:14:00 - [14] even on Slashdot..... They talk about isk farmers in eve.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2007.11.24 05:51:00 - [15] Originally by: Amarria Black There was a new board flood yesterday morning, Voogru. Nice to know CCP's taking direct and decisive action. The three major measurements of power in this game are money, time, and connections. Now, two can be easily bought. New board flood? I don't understand.
Loyal Servant Caldari Viper Intel Squad Pure.	Posted - 2008.01.02 21:53:00 - [16] Originally by: Ang Sun Originally by: umop 3pisdn Originally by: Pitt Bull Originally by: Stitcher I still don't agree with the practice, but it's stopped me from blowing up every macro miner I see, because at the end of the day it's taking food out of someone's mouth. If someone relies on playing a video game to feed themselves, I wouldn't lose sleep if they died. Harsh.. but yes, IAC/KOS/Smash/CPU/hopes of pirate/all other farmers should die LOL dont call me a frikkin farmer. I'm broke all the time. You wanna give me cheap isk for free m'kay ? But dont forget to make those isk legaly i wont take your bought iskies. I gonna include something im my sig but yours is just Nice idea though. Btw is paying 14,95 a month like buying isk?!?! He did not call you a farmer. As a matter of fact I find his response and argument that 'it takes food from someone's mouth' to be completely and utterly false. To argue that you must farm isk to feed your family.. if you got yourself into a situation that you have to feed your family by farming isk in eve...... shoot yourself and make room for someone with half a brain that actually wants a job. People that farm isk and gold want jobs, but they are kids that are being taken advantage of most of the time and are looking for a quick buck, that is all.
