It's been shown in the past that some VERY rich people play EVE. And were shoveling money into GTC sales that shifted balance of power so much that for a time it looked like one alliance might have been able to "win" EVE.

I'm kinda new, must have missed that one, could you elaborate for me?
Feel free to PM if you think openly disscusing a sensetive subject may be unwise

It's not Econ, it's finance. Finance 101 would have covered it. It's a sale of stock and the first sale, "initial public offering", IPO. CCP sells the shares directly or to an "underwriter". The money they raise from the stock sale is then used to run the business.
So there isn't stock now and there will be....
or
there is stock but they wnat to make more because they believe there company is undervalued?

This might seem like an illustration that traditional CCP has already been experimenting with free-to-play in EVE, by allowing rich subscribers to essentially pay for others to play, in exchange for virtual currency GÇö something that has been used by 40,000 people, the company says.
Can someone explain what this means? Rich subscribers paying others to play? "Rich" player pays real money for own subscription, and plex. "Rich" player puts Plex on game market. "Other" player buys Plex in game with fake money, and uses the Plex to extend subscription. Thus, "Rich" player has paid real money for someone else to play, in exchange for fake money to throw around in-game. Yep for all the people I helped to play for free, you are very welcome. Bought $4K in GTC's over the last 3 years.... I get Grind Free ISK, others who can't otherwise afford to play, get to play. Everyone wins...Oh and for those who say "You could have spent that on other things", well I certainly did that too...
I don't really understand how 3rd party GTC transactions work, I know there are sites that sell them, but how do they aquire them and whats in it for them?
