trustfund	Posted - 2007.12.03 08:45:00 - [1] 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

Explain please? I'd say because you take less risks you lose less ships,however you also get less in kills so it could go either way.
Makran Caldari The Graduates Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.12.03 09:00:00 - [11] Edited by: Makran on 03/12/2007 09:00:30 I can't say I lean one way or another. Buying and selling GTC's for in-game isk has been endorsed by CCP, so I can't really nail you to any sort of rule breaking for doing it, hehe. I think how people make their isk is less important than how they lose/spend their isk. And as long as you're not stealing RL money from me to purchase your GTC's, go forth and spend spend spend, I say! Good luck and fly safe. /edit for spelling =====

The Snowman Gallente Four Rings Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.03 09:50:00 - [28] honestly? Doesnt really bother me, if anything im glad you are easily able to recover from your loss. The truth is, most people only "fly what they can afford" and are fully aware of the risks! so killing someones ship, no matter how they obtained it, doesnt make me feel any more or less emotional. The fact that you re-obain those ships so easily doesnt matter either, since most people can easily replace their ships also.

Gaven Blands	Posted - 2007.12.03 10:00:00 - [30] Every man has a price. Mine is $2 for 100 million isk. When it reaches that price, I buy it. It's not like getting banned will mean much at that point anyway. I strongly doubt I am the first person to have decided that a game that is supposed to be deliciously hard is really only any good if the vast majority find it hard. When people no longer give a stuff about losses, there's no point playing Eve with them. -- Awwwww Diddums! Did I wardec your highsec alt recently or something?

With GTC we have loose cannon PvPers with next to no logistical backbone of their own or regard for this aspect, which I would think is not what CCP intended. If you can't do the time then settle for less, easy as that. Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
trustfund	Posted - 2007.12.03 10:12:00 - [37] Originally by: ThePolitician put your efforts in something constructive instead of posting obvious fake treads. It is somewhat offensive to me that you say this is a fake thread. Obviously, I will not post details of my RL finances, but suffice it to say that I have access to millions of dollars of assets/cash/etc. It is logical to believe that out of the many thousands of people who play EVE, at least some of them are multi-millionaires? To me, playing EVE is no different than any other form of entertainment, such as an opera or movie or airplane ticket... just depends on what I am trying to accomplish that day/week/month.

That is about 220 90 day GTCs at today's price. Or $8600 which, given George's mismanagement, will soon be about 3 Euros.

Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.12.03 10:16:00 - [41] This is a troll post, but it provoked a flight of fancy: What if there was someone who had more RL money than brains who outright purchased a Titan pilot and a Titan, then intentionally threw it back in CCP's collective face? Personally, I think it would be the single most compelling argument for eliminating GTC <<<>>> ISK and character sales altogether.

Karyuudo Tydraad Caldari Whiskey Pete's Drycleaning Services The Acquisition	Posted - 2007.12.03 11:21:00 - [53] Mildly angry that you have advantages in real life that carry over into this online game. If I knew I'd go out of my way to kill you if I ran into you. On the other hand, I understand that you'll never have the thrill I will in PvP because you haven't committed time to earn your ISK, as so it is relatively meaningless for you to lose a ship. Whereas I'm fighting with hours of painstaking preparation on the line. You can make about 20 mil/hr in PVE if you're good, and that's enough for most. Or you can almost passively make a fortune working the markets in trade, though that requires you to be relatively well off in the first place.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.12.03 11:55:00 - [54] I think this is awesome. You pay for EVE, but don't really play. You pay RL money for ships, just to get killed over and over again by people who do really play. Finally, having a lot of money IRL has twisted your poor concept of the value of things to the point where you will probably never be able to appreciate what it is to really play EVE even if you want to. Like I said, awesome. - I wish I was a three foot female doll with a watering can and heterochromatic eyes.
N1fty Amarr Galactic Shipyards Inc HUZZAH FEDERATION	Posted - 2007.12.03 12:01:00 - [55] Can we assume you also bought your character? In whichcase you haven't done any of the hard work which helps you learn the game. Leading to you losing ships, isk, and real money hand over fist. Give a newbie everything they need straight away, they don't know the value of what they have, and they arent scared of losing it. So of course, they lose; constantly. á ============================================

AntonioBanderas Empirius Enigmus Navy	Posted - 2007.12.03 12:08:00 - [57] if this started as a troll thread it evolved in pretty interesting read. as someone said, I also don't like your rl privileges in EVE. I also don't like spewing GTCs for every ******* thing in eve. If i HAD that kind of money, i might think otherwise, but at this point i don't like it. But if it makes you happy, go ahead. ON HTE OTHER HAND, many ppl simply don't have the time to earn enough isk to enjoy EVE. I personally bought one and sold it. I'm not online often enough to earn that kind of isk (well, if i started to grind missions i guess it'd be enough, but i enjoy pvp so...) But we're talking about isk to pimp your battleship + some change, not to buy faction death star. If i started to do like you are, buying EVERTHING with my cash, EVE would instantly lose it's magic. My losses wouldn't count anymore, and that's the reason i play EVE. P.S. I'll contact you whenever i need GTCs if that's ok ith you
ChimeraRouge Caldari Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.12.03 12:09:00 - [58] i feel that people like you "liars in training" are the scum of the planet and what you do in this game isn't any different.

Nama Saya Chickens with an Attitude	Posted - 2007.12.03 12:16:00 - [60] 83 kills, 4 losses, 20.75:1 ratio, 6.51 billion ISK inflicted in damage , and 150 points (I consider myself still as a nOOb pirate ) Not sure who your main is but if you're on my killboard then yes, it feels good to blow up your ship again You can either fund yourself as you do now, or be a carebear and make isk that way. Spending RL money sounds like not such a good idea. Maybe highsec in a NPC corp is better for you?

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. One Empire, One Emperor, One People, Forever under Heaven. Amarr Aeternus.

Posted - 2007.12.03 12:50:00 - [67] 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.

Intel Cylon	Posted - 2007.12.03 14:00:00 - [84] 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?
Semkhet KR0M The Red Skull	Posted - 2007.12.03 14:00:00 - [85] 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
Le Jackal	Posted - 2007.12.03 14:01:00 - [86] 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.

Also its kinda cool to imagine we are shooting your RL wallet while you can only hurt our ingame wallet. Its atleast twice as much fun to grief you than to grief someone who just has alot of isk ingame. I like thinking of it like this: 1. I need gametime. 2. I go shoot me a trustfund. 3. I sell his loot, now i have some more isk. 4. Trustfund needs ISK. He buys a GTC for cash. 5. He sells me the GTC, i pay partly with the money i made killing him. 6. I tell him that he is a great guy and we should meet ingame to run a few missions together . Ofc there are alts involved on both sides, but im pretty sure this is how its supposed to work .

It used to be less visible, but nowdays the RMT is really bad. I've cancelled my subscriptions and am now buying GTCs from my remaining ISKs and those I get from Datacores to keep training my chars.

Or I could go and earn those 3 days worth of isk in two hours in real life, and then just play eve for those 3 days instead of grind. Every second you spend grinding for money in eve is time which could be spent grinding for money in real life. You'll get paid better in real life in most countries (and you'll have some kind of prospects other than sandbox mmorpg champion), probably better to do your earning there, and leave your playtime for the virtual online world.

Don't wanna spend a week mining and trading and risking your ship to buy back what some ganger took from you...then don't just sell your time codes for some isk and get your instant gratification! I don't wanna spend all my time just earning the isk to buy my ship to play, then just lose it in 5 minutes of pvp... I would rather play the game and help some poor bastard who can't afford 14.95 a month out! :-D

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. I don't think it's cheating, it's just lame. My irl wallet is fine, I work just like everyone but I don't do this. When I'm about to lose a ship, I know it's been farmde (-edit- big lol about that. farmed with a french accent of course ), earned with painfull things to do (belting is my only profitable ressource). I like it that way. And it makes me play the game really better, as I tend to not lose that much my ships recently. 2isk

Steppa...sadlyI concur with you concerning the OP. Then only to learn that he is also a law student. My sympathy abounds for him. Sincerly Actually, I think everyone is missing the real point as far as the OP is concerned. Despite my irksome feelings towards people that lord their genetic lottery over others, he's missing the REAL fun of Eve. Whether you like pvp or not, there is one inescapable truism about Eve. Eve pvp entails real loss. Loss of time, if nothing else. But, to my point, if you actually expend effort and time building up the resources, isk, modules, etc to outfit that ubership you've been wanting, the first time you find yourself in an actual pvp situation, your heart will race and you will have a gaming experience unlike anything that's ever come down the pike. If you're milking the tit of your forebears' effort in order to buy ships and modules for pvp, you're actually missing most of the fun.

To take your facecious comment at face-value: No dude you weren't a fool, that's just not how you want to play the game. I totally respect how you want to play the game, and it is undoubtedly a purer and more complete experience of EVE. However it's not an experience that is possible or desirable for everyone.
trustfund	Posted - 2007.12.03 17:42:00 - [119] Originally by: N1fty Can we assume you also bought your character? In whichcase you haven't done any of the hard work which helps you learn the game. Leading to you losing ships, isk, and real money hand over fist. Give a newbie everything they need straight away, they don't know the value of what they have, and they arent scared of losing it. So of course, they lose; constantly. Naw, I didn't buy my character. That would be really pointless.

Nagen	Posted - 2007.12.03 18:08:00 - [123] I think that even earning money in EVE is part of pvp experience. If you cut that out, you're missing half the game. Treating a computer game as a job is the wrong approach. Sure you can earn more money with your real life grind on your real life job per same time, but EVE is not supposed to be your second job. It is supposed to be a game where you come and play with and against other people in this virtual made up world. What's the fun when instead of playing you just make yourself a shortcut and buy all the stuff? Ok, so you got all the stuff but just missed all the game of actually playing to achieve it. So what does you achievement, as a player, amount to? Nothing. I have no problem with people buying a code or two to make up for the time that they cannot play due to excessively restrictive schedule. Many players with a more free schedule can and do play 20-30 hours a week. If you can put in only 10 hours and figure you can make 200-400 mil in those extra 10-20 hours you aren't playing, fine go sell a code or two to be on the same level as everyone else. You'll miss a lot of the game but real life takes precedence. But if you're trying to buy your way ahead in EVE you're missing a lot of the game for no reason. Then of course there are cases where people cover up their own incompetence with their credit card. Either case is usually quite transparent and on the player level i don't have much respect for these people as they haven't actually achieved anything in EVE by themselves, with their own ingenuity and effort.

Why grind belts for hours? You can make alot more if you have some understanding about market economics in highsec, a few well placed buyorders or searching contracts for good deals you can resell at higher value can make you 100mil much faster. Also you can do it while you hunt targets, most of the time your waiting for something to happen anyway.

Unlike ebaying, you still have to do some sort of work (advertising the sale of, and completing the sale of a GTC). Unlike other MMOs, you can't really gain a significant in game advantage over other people by simply having a lot ISK. I'm pretty certain that the BoB vs. ASCN war proved that, and ISS vs IAC too.

Oh, and for the record, it is slightly annoying to have to buy all the officer fittings again.. :p tbh i dont know if the op is trying to show off but there are people playing eve with easily billions of isk making perhaps a bil a day using it to pay for ingame mods and GTC and never aying one red cent to play eve . so all i can say is if you need to buy GTC trading just to play eve , you kind of suck at eve dude ( unless your actually using it to subscribe instead of just trading RL money for isk ) signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link to the image URL) - Jacques([email protected]) why dont you just tell me ?

Stitcher Caldari legion of qui Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.03 20:53:00 - [138] OP's wallet nerf coming SOONÖ Yeah, small thing about ISK-buying - the GMs tend to just deduct the purchased amount from your wallet when they catch you, regardless of whether or not the purchased sum is still there. This can lead to wallets with negative balances. Sometimes negative balances of BILLIONS of ISK. All of which deliciously means that ISK buying is ultimately counter-productive. - "Stitcher" is just a call sign. My name is Verin Tarn-Hakatain.
