Max Leadfoot PAK	Posted - 2008.01.30 16:18:00 - [1] Hello, I was wondering when i was walking earlier. ISK donation help people in need? simple concept players donate ISK, and ccp have some sort of equivelant in real money to give into charity. 1. would help people in need, as all eve subscribers surely are well off "hey your spending time in an internet spaceship, so you dont have a problem filling your belly" that includes myself 2. isk sink, some money dissapears from the eve economy, as i understood it, there is alot of new isk coming in..aka bounties from npcs, this would make isk dissapear and not just move from a wallet to another "player driven economy" Would CCP be interested? thats a thing that i would avoid to get as an anwser from flaming people soo..... I don't know if CCP as a company would be prepared to donate real money into charity but im sure that with the subscriber base it has plenty lieing around.... yeh yeh "upgrade the server" needs a lot of money I know but i wonder if those 10k-20k USD a month less would really make such a big difference to a company making revenue of around 3m a month. let me know what you guys think and please keep this post to some level of decency
Kirjava Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.01.30 16:19:00 - [2] Heres a thought, gather donations and buy GTC for isk, then sell them on ebay giving proceeds to charity. Haruhiists - Overloading Out of Pod discussions since 2007.

Step 3) Get banned. Can't do that. Only legal GTC trade is through the secure website method and that gets immediately applied to your account. I need a sig....
Max Leadfoot PAK	Posted - 2008.01.30 16:33:00 - [7] I didnt know so about what goes on at fanfest... its a nice thing but a year event for charity is not enough...well its never enough an ongoing thing has more impact than a yearly event just had another idea: pilots give isk for charity... this is than calculated into real life money for people that pay real money to play the game will get a cheaper price for their subscription say I donate 100m isk, this than gives me 2usd less to pay for subscription CCP throws in those 2usd towards charity... i know just getting wierd ideas
Tajidan Mortis Angelus The Church.	Posted - 2008.01.30 16:40:00 - [8] FIX SERVER FURST!! sry, i had to do it. was my first and last one. All in all a neat idea, but maybe use the bought isk to buy GTC's to get moneys back and then give it to charity. c'mon there needs to be some use of all the ebay-isk http://www.eve-gfx.com

Shinori GoonFleet	Posted - 2008.01.30 17:07:00 - [12] Only evil people give to charities. Temporarily supporting people who can't be self sufficient is only prolonging their misery.

Fail. hence saying, ccp could "finance" the charity from their revenue So basically you want CCP to give money for nothing? CCP is a business, not a charity. It's not looking for ways to spend more money on bull****.
Kuranta	Posted - 2008.01.30 17:19:00 - [14] Would make great promo. Would be pretty unique. I think a lot of people would donate. Maybe CCP can think of a way to pull it off. Since those pesky ISK sellers use it for profit, CCP might be able to do something good with our play money. They had an auction at the fanfest for a children-aid organisation. Maybe a once-a-year christmas thingy.
Callisto Ares Companion Cube Industries	Posted - 2008.01.30 17:26:00 - [15] Basically you want CCP to donate say $30,000 USD to a Charity for based on a dollar to ISK ratio. You realize how insane that donation ratio would have to be per dollar to like say 100,000,000.00 isk to even remove any significant amount of wealth from the game. I know this may sound crazy, but why not just donate directly to the charity yourself like most of us do already? It cuts out the middleman, saves on inefficiencies in fees so all your money goes right to the charity that needs it.
Outlaaz Meridian Dynamics	Posted - 2008.01.30 17:31:00 - [16] Edited by: Outlaaz on 30/01/2008 17:31:43 I think many of you are forgetting the fact that ISK has no real value to CCP. Suggesting something like 'donating' ISK to CCP so they can convert that into real money which they then donate to a charity is basically asking them to give away money they worked for. Rather than asking someone else to donate to a charity, why don't you donate your own money to a charity if you are feeling so generous. Edit: Looks like Callisto beat me to the punch.
Angry Alt Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.01.30 17:42:00 - [17] Originally by: Thuranni So basically you want CCP to give money for nothing? That's kinda the idea behind charity, to give to those less fortunate/in need.
Kirjava Royal Hiigaran Navy	Posted - 2008.01.30 18:16:00 - [18] When I got given 2Billion in a "can I have your stuff" in an "I'm quitting" thread I donated ú10 to charity because I thought it was the right thing to do Haruhiists - Overloading Out of Pod discussions since 2007.
Princess Jodi Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2008.01.30 18:37:00 - [19] Much as we try to keep Politics out of this game, we need to avoid any sort of Charity. I'm sorry.. but this game is not for that. I certainly don't want to spend my playing time fending off convos from someone wanting isk for the 'Save the Children' campaign. It is also my personal belief that Charity work is actually counter-productive. For example, the FarmAid 'Feed the World' program did nothing to promote long-term sustainable farming in Africa. All it did is feed people who will again be hungry tommorrow. As a Corporation, I'm sure CCP looking into supporting Charities. But they do that for reasons such as Tax Writeoffs or Public Relations, not because the player base needs a means to support the world's unfortunates. Put another way: Do you really want Bums running up to your spaceship as you undock for Jita 4-4, demanding Isk so they can feed their kids, and blocking the exit till you pay?
Frug Zenithal Harvest	Posted - 2008.01.30 18:41:00 - [20] Edited by: Frug on 30/01/2008 18:41:41 Originally by: Princess Jodi Much as we try to keep Politics out of this game, we need to avoid any sort of Charity. I'm sorry.. but this game is not for that. I certainly don't want to spend my playing time fending off convos from someone wanting isk for the 'Save the Children' campaign. Wow. That's the lamest opinion i've heard in a while. Because that's exactly what's going to happen. Charitable organizations are going to start purchasing macros and spamming people for isk. Just wow dude. CCP, you should stop donating to charities during fanfest. I don't want to go to fanfest and have hobos asking me for money while I'm there. Originally by: Princess Jodi It is also my personal belief that Charity work is actually counter-productive. For example, the FarmAid 'Feed the World' program did nothing to promote long-term sustainable farming in Africa. All it did is feed people who will again be hungry tommorrow. So as much as politics should stay out of this game, lets start discussing the politics of giving money to people in need. - - - - - - - - - Do not use dotted lines - - - - - - - If you think I'm awesome, say BOOO BOOO!! - Ductoris Neat look what I found - Kreul Hey, my marbles
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.01.30 18:50:00 - [21] I wonder, would it be legal to offer to donate to charity in exchange for isk? What about if you didn't? ---- Anything less is wasted effort
Angry Alt Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.01.30 18:56:00 - [22] Originally by: Princess Jodi I certainly don't want to spend my playing time fending off convos from someone wanting isk for the 'Save the Children' campaign. ... Put another way: Do you really want Bums running up to your spaceship as you undock for Jita 4-4, demanding Isk so they can feed their kids, and blocking the exit till you pay? Where did you even get the idea that anything like this would happen? From the OP, it would be like a fundraiser. CCP would have 1 or more charities and for each XXX amount of ISK received (ISK sink), CCP would donate X RL money to said charity. Let's say for each 1,000,000 ISK you donate, it's $0.01 USD or $10USD/Billion ISK donated..something along those lines. Originally by: Princess Jodi As a Corporation, I'm sure CCP looking into supporting Charities. But they do that for reasons such as Tax Writeoffs or Public Relations... Exactly, so why not setup a donation mechanism. This provides for an ISK sink and it looks good for CCP.

An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.01.30 20:00:00 - [31] While I certainly believe in corporate responsibility, this is hardly the right way to go about that. Also, just because I play Eve does not mean I am "well off". It is more like I "get by" and happen to have $15 I can dedicate to Eve.

Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.01.30 20:06:00 - [32] Actually, don't forget that a good number of eve players don't have the money to spare for Eve. That's why GTCs sell. ---- Anything less is wasted effort
Auron Shadowbane Pelennor Swarm	Posted - 2008.01.30 20:08:00 - [33] just send the money to me... I promise to donate 1Ç for every billion i find in my wallet. if you send more than 5bil you mgiht even choose which cahrity guys I'm sending the money... tell me again what ccp would have from getting isk? they can print them if they'd need isk ...
Angel DeMorphis Gallente	Posted - 2008.01.30 20:21:00 - [34] To those that are saying "ISK has no real life value, and therefore cannot be turned into cash", I just have to say: How does walking 60 miles on those "Walk for <name charitable reason here>" become cash? How the heck can you moving one foot in front of another mean anything to making money? It is only because someone else said "Hey, I feel like being entertained. For every mile you walk on this day, at this time, I'll donate xxx of my own money to <name charitable organization here>". Therefore, the OP is saying that instead of walking, Eve players could donate ISK, and then CCP would fish money out of their pocket based on how much ISK is donated, according to what they would agree to before the "ISK Walkathon". To those that are trying to say that this would actually be a good idea: What the heck? You are feeling so charitable, that you are willing to give up some of your imaginary pixelated money so that someone else can take actual dollars/euros out of their pocket to actually donate. You selfish piece of crap. If you are actually feeling charitable, take the money you would have spent to buy a GTC that you were thinking about selling for ISK and donate it yourself. Take some money out of your own wallet and donate it. Don't try to force CCP to give to charity to make yourself feel better because you are giving them some imaginary money they own anyways.

Max Leadfoot PAK	Posted - 2008.01.31 12:39:00 - [35] wow.... cant believe people can become *******s even when talking about charity anyhow... my idea was this: make an isk sink and at the mean time something charitable as axel so well put it in a private convo, most of charities dont work in the long term and as someone said in here, you feed them a day and than what? they go hungry again the next day? was just an idea

Originally by: Max Leadfoot chill pill ??? no thanx, you can keep your chill pills. It makes me sick. Giving to charities is like a freakin hobby for some people. Give it a rest. aren't u late for church or something? or maybe some fundraiser somewhere? In fact, now that you've really poked me, the whole concept of charities is crap to begin with. If you really want to help someone needy, turn off the computer, walk out your front door and look around your neighborhood... Odds are there's some poor bastard barely scraping by that could really use your freakin help... but no you could take that same 20 bucks and give it to a global charity that employes thousands of PAID workers so that 3 or 4 dollars might actually get to someone needy. But nooo... you can't really go about bragging to your friends how you donated to billy-bob neighbor-guy down the road... that wouldn't be cool would it? People might even think you were being crass. Much better for watercooler chatter if you can show your fancy donatathon pin/award you got for being such a benevolant donator. gah, i'm off, this thread has made me physically ill. /rant off -- No love for the Matari

MarkyP Caldari Aphex Corportation	Posted - 2008.01.31 13:33:00 - [41] Originally by: Ris Dnalor how about keeping your real world crap outta my escape from reality? if i want to donate to a charity then i will. I get hounded enough by a billion needy people on tv, radio, email, newspaper, my freaking front door... I pay to play eve, I expect to be left alone here. I know that Ris is coming across as a bit "Full On", but I do think that he makes a very solid point here. When I am logged into EVE, it normally entails that I have come home from work, administered to my RL responsibilities and done all the things that need to be done to remain a productive tax paying citizen. EVE allows me some time to myself where I can switch off for just a little bit to relax and concern myself only with ship fittings, rat hunting and all the other aspects of the game that make it what it is. What I don't want (Personal opinion only - not proclaming any laws here!), are constant reminders of the RL world that I have to face and deal with for probably a good 95% of my day when I do actually get the chance to log into EVE. This is just an opinion though, probably not helped by the fact that working in the heart of London means that I cannot even have my lunch hour to myself to go and get a sandwich without the constant intrusion of armies of "Comission Earning Charity Clipboard Holders". I respect their right to earn money for their charity, but in return, expect them to respect my right to not want to be harangued just for having the gall to want to get some lunch!! General point I am making? I suppose its that RL issues should stay out of game, and be the responsiblity of individuals to make their own choice. But as I say, thats just my opinion, I'm sure that others have theirs which they consider just as valid.

Anhammerad	Posted - 2008.01.31 13:53:00 - [43] CCP is a business and they make far less than a lot of other companies out there who you do NOT see giving away free money. Businesses are there to make a profit not fund charities and the impoverished off their own backs for free. I wouldn't even consider giving away money to charity unless I was pulling in so much revenue I didn't know what to do with it. All profit can be reinvested to make more profit and up the ladder you go. Yes CCP pulls in ú3m a month (if your figure is correct) but what percentage of that is poured into overheads/development/equipment/staff wages and what percentage actually goes into the pockets of the company owners? A lot less than you would think I bet. I'm sorry, but that's just how the world works. It isn't a whimsical fairytale place of free giving. It is hard, capitalistic and a *****.
Adonis 4174	Posted - 2008.01.31 14:17:00 - [44] I could see this being a way of taking isk out of the economy if inflation ever did become out of control but frankly, CCP does raise money for charity in more sensible ways. Things like this. There really is no need to ask CCP to commit to donating an unspecified and potentially huge amount of money to charity. Your subscription fee already goes towards their ability to donate as it is. ---- Anything less is wasted effort

Epic FAIL. aggressive behaviour solves nothing dude your second paragraph... grow up before you insult people you dont know, but to some extend i agree what you mean Well, people tried saying it nicely (well, sort of), so I thought a more straight out approach might actually get it through that "giving up" ISK would mean nothing for real world charity. And I suppose you're right, perhaps you are not a selfish piece of crap that doesn't want to donate his own real dollars/time, maybe you are only ignorant (and didn't know that "giving up ISK" can't translate into real world dollars) or shortsighted (and didn't think your idea through before posting). Anyways, it makes no difference to me. At least you and others now understand that you can't have an ISK drive like this to mean anything for charity. Now for a more constructive post, something that had a possibility of helping: The Buddy Program. It could be possible for CCP to say "For every account that signs up through the Buddy Program that Eve has, we will donate such and such amount of money". In this way, you can do something that actually helps CCP, by recruiting more players/subscriptions, and CCP gets actual real world money from this effort, in the form of subscriptions paid, that they can use to send a portion of it to charity. Though the problem would still lie: Which charity to donate to? And who gets to decide? And would this actually benefit CCP? (As in, some people not recruiting others for the sole reason that they don't want money donated to that particular charity.) My sig taken from this site. [IMAGE REMOVED]

You make it sound as if we'd be giving the money to people who play eve daily but cant fill their stomachs with food...maybe they dont need RL cash DONATIONS but more like a RL friggin job??? _____________________ Originally by: Locus Bey Intelligence isn't a prequisite for being a Goon, in fact its a deficit.

Go back to sleep op. This is a game.. for fun.. why do people keep tryin to turn it into RL .
