Originally by: Ethen Bejorn I did, what exactly am I missing? They call it ETC instead of GTC? What, you still buy isk for real life dollars do you not? I don't give a crap if a person buys isk from IGE or CCP, both is just as bad. CCP just monopolizes the market and makes more profit off it. Nothing has changed, they just wrote a blog about it.
I suggest learning to comprehend what you read and perhaps opening your mind to the possibility that your understanding of the world around you is narrowly defined by the limited parametres of your own intellect.

Quote: When you buy an ETC and then sell it for ISK via the Secure ETC Trading System you are directly contributing to the growth of EVE as the code will be applied to an account and someone will be using it to play. Some players do not have the means to pay for their subscriptions with credit cards or similar and the Secure ETC Trading System helps them pay and play. The economics are quite different as well since wealth is redistributed between active members of the community rather than injected into the game.
Oh, so CCP says this and it makes it okay? I don't a flying F if you can't pay your sub with money, get a job you lazy pieces of %*#^. Paying RL money for ISK is paying RL money for ISK and no matter what CCP says that will not change.
Idiots.
So since I've been playing long enough now that I can afford to pay the isk to play eve for free I'm an idiot? How many games do you know of that allow you to pay for your game play by playing the game? You are one angry little dude, chill out. Fact is if I use isk to buy my subscription, that isk is isk I may have just given away to noobs (I've been known to do that), wasted on a ship I would be inclined to be more reckless with, or just saved up. Since to me this is eve online, spaceships fighting game and not eve wallet building online, the extra isk serves me well, and serves eve well since it keeps me in the game and another player in the game, and no isk is used to make real world money for someone else.

Originally by: Ethen Bejorn Edited by: Ethen Bejorn on 08/04/2008 15:41:45 My point is, and CCP admits it in their blog, they are hypocrites in the eyes of thier paying customers. Do you think it is fair that 4 year old players with hundreds of billions of isk, people in 0.0 alliance which own Dyspro moons, or tech 2 BPOs, get to play Eve for free?
I use isk to buy gtc, I am none of the above stated players. I am not a 4 year old player, I don't even have a billion isk in my wallet let alone hundreds of millions, I don't live in 0.0, I'm not in an alliance let alone one with moons and I don't have any T2 BPO. Care to exaggera...I mean elaborate a little more?

Originally by: Ethen Bejorn Pretty simple if you ask me.

Don't believe CCP did ask you. The only thing simple is your feeble argument. You have an isk farming alt? selling some isk on the side? I really don't see how cpp's gtc policy can get you so worked up when it really has no bearing on your personal game play. In the mean time, I'm off to play some EVE free of real world cash cost to me.

We've gone waaaay off topic. The whole point of the OP was to educate everyone, especially noobs that buying ISK is wrong, it changes the player we all know what god mode does to the over all enjoyment of any game, we enjoy it for less time and it's not as fulfilling. HOWEVER! The point of the OP was that the Dev Blog should be stickied so everyone can see it, everytime they go on the forums. Right or wrong, buying isk from an isk seller for cash is against the EULA and this devblog would give fair warning so we in turn have less "a gm took my isk" whines. So back on topic (I hope), this dev blog should be stickied.
BTW I think we've pretty much covered every angle many times over.
