It'd make it even more satisfying to kill you, knowing you waste real money on ingame money and STILL can't keep from getting blown up. If you dont have time to make isk legitimately in eve i'm thinking maybe you shouldnt be playing eve :P (ratting 10m in rats takes probably 10 minutes?)

Originally by: trustfund So basically, I am rich. More specifically, I have a rather... large... trust-fund.
When you kill my ship (so far, 5 Drakes, 5 Ravens, and various small ships) I go to my credit card and I buy more game cards and sell them for ISK.
I have spent a few billion so far.
So how does that make you feel? Does it make you want to kill me more? Does it make you feel sorry for me? Angry?
Honest answers please.
Oh, and for the record, it is *slightly* annoying to have to buy all the fittings again.. :p
I like you, a lot.

Well I wouldnt be mad with you... Actually it amuses me that you have to spend RL money in order you can continue to support your losses in game...

Makes me think you're very charitable. After all, someone gets to loot your wreck, and fit their own ship out with your trust fund.

Dude if you have money and not getting laid then you really need to step away from the computer and go out.

^^Agree. Have to say that the OP is definately trolling and waving his $-peen around looking for attention. Honestly i could'nt give a toss, but you do know that this method of playing EVE will reduce your enjoyment of EVE? Its been said before by others in this post that part of the attraction of EVE is that losses mean something. By just throwing RL money at EVE you take away this factor and forever gimp your own experience.

For those who say "I got not that much time to play, I got a job, RL, family, whatever and that's why I buy ISK" let me ask you, do you do sports? Do you use doping of whatever kind to get 'competitive' with those who have more time to train and practice? Or do you play games with others, board games, pen and paper or whatever. Do you flip that dice or shove that pawn when no one is looking? After all, you got less time to play than them, the playing field is certainly uneven.
Buying virtual assets with real life money is cheating, there is no excuse that would warrant it. I myself played several MMOs in the past, often times with not that much actual playing time because of friends & beer or my job or whatnot. Still I can't comprehend why anyone would want to cheat in a game they're playing for fun, for relaxation. Especially those with a job and precious few hours to spend. Earning money ingame no fun? Then you're either doing it wrong or you're playing the wrong game. To that guy who said he earned 10m/h ingame... you're definitively doing it wrong. Unless you're a relatively new player, where you honestly don't need more than that as you can't fly all the shiny stuff yet.
Ah but whatever, yeah, should I ever hear that one of my victims used real money to buy his ship and fittings, I'll have a good laugh and a beer on it.

Lets strike a deal. Instead of me spending my time hunting you down to destroy you and then you spending your time purchasing and selling game time cards and refitting a new ship, instead why dont you just transfer that money you would have spent straight into my bank account and I'll leave you alone. That way we both save time and effort, it's a win win situation.

It was 10m a minute, and actually its probably more like 30m an hour but thats because i'm lazy :P
Other than that this ^^^ is win. Buying isk with real money is cheating, no matter what ccp says. QFT etc. That aside, i'd question the op's motivation to poast as the tone and just general attitude of the op and the poaster tells me he's doing it for attention, and poasts mostly because he knows he gets a rise out of the populace. It'd be like me starting a thread entitled "How does it make you feel when i log out". Nothing really to discuss there, but i'd enjoy getting the rise out of everyone.

It's far easier to make ISK in the game legit than to pull out the credit card by illegal sweatshop ISK for my hard earned RL money.
I dont think your sad for spending RL money on ISK, I think your sad for losing so many damn ships. Maybe instead of paying for ISK you should hire someone to teach you some PVP skills.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. As long as people like you spend money that you obviously have in abundance to buy cards to sell for ISK, people like me can play a game they enjoy and pay for it in ISK rather than in the dollars they have so few of.

I don't care too much really, as you are using GTC's for it and your selling of GTC's means that someone else can play where they couldn't before. However, I have to say it is that much sweeter killing someone knowing that it cost them real life money

I have bought my last GTC for ISK. It just happened that I had a lucky week in ISK making and thought it would be stupid spending RL cash on a game if I can help it.
So I guess I like what you do and would encourage you to do it more often. ------------------------------------------ All nerfs are meant to hurt you personally. Next time they are going to nerf you directly. Eve Forums. |

Originally by: trustfund Well, I don't have time to grind ISK, I am a law student -- frankly
...but only noobs grind isk for personal usage.
Well I am a noob. But how do established characters make ISK? If I could find a way to make 50 mil ISK in an hour or two, I guess that would be worth it.
Ratting in 0.0 only makes me about 15 mil an hour.
they shoot stupid ppl like you and sell your mods until the day you get banned for buying isk and then the next idiot takes your place.

Then perhaps you should "trust your fund" to the offering plate of a house of worship.(listen and believe)
Then...on your way home swing by your favorite bookstore and pick up a copy of the "Good Book".(read liberally)
This may serve to help you reevaluate your "quoted" problem of the last two months.

It bothers me that CCP allows to use real cash to buy advantage in a competetive game.
It bothers me that CCP encourage this method of ISK farming with dirty tricks, slowing down the game to deep boredom.
It bothers me that the players with slim RL wallet have a disadvantage in a virtual world.
It costs approx 10 hours in game "work" to buy a T2 fitted battleship, yet it costs approx 2 hours out of game work to buy the same BS if you excahge it through GTC-s. You may save 8 hours of ratting, mining, mission running, etc if you go and cut the grass in the neighborhood for some cash and all you have left to do in eve is to buy the pvp ship and have fun, no need the 8 hours bull***. How is it not encouraging?

All those who moan about isk -> RL money trades simply don't get it. It's CCP itself which opened Pandora's box by creating and allowing the GTC scheme to be operated as it is. So if you don't like it, whine against CCP instead of the players which operate within the legit framework as defined by the game provider.
Then, let's not forget that EvE typically induces more time spent on boring tasks than pure fun. So it all depends about how much money you make in RL, because if for ex. your main interest is PvP but you earn 90 Ç/hour when you work, you should be really dumb to spend 24 hours of your free time ratting to get enough resources to kit your PvP faction dream ship, if all you need to do is perform a few GTC-based transactions with the money you get in 1 hour RL work. It has nothing to do with unfair practices, it's all about maximizing smart use of your time which is not finite.
If there are peeps around which never factor in the time they spend on things (maybe because their time is indeed worthless or maybe because they never realized that their time could bear some value), then it's another matter entirely 
Anyhow to get back to the OP: regardless if you're lying or not since anybody can pretend anything on the net, just burn your isk that way:
Go in 0.0 or lowsec and try to take on people with your fully faction kitted battleships. Your uber mods will somewhat give you an advantage over plain T2 setups and compensate your lack of skills. On the other hand, whoever manages to pop you will get juicy loot.
Everybody happy

I'm guessing your not posting with your main on this, but what I like is that when I go to buy your GTC's, you are paying for my game time with your trust fund, and when I come round to blow up your ship, take the loot and slavage the wreck I get to buy those GTC's with ISK I made from your stuff. So keep it up.
But I find it funny and sad that you need to spend more RL cash than the average joe to suck at a game, but hey whatever floats your boat (or sinks it in your case).
p.s. I aslo suspect your post was aimed at getting other people to flame away at you. How sad indeed.

So basicly killing you makes CCP richer leading to better content, less bugs, better servers etc etc.
I personaly not only feel good about that but now that I'm aware of you I'll have an easier time picking targets
