Well I have nothing to worry about, since I use cash. Big smile

I'm a nerd, you can check my stats!! Skilling Int/Mem at 45 sp per minute is how I mack!     I'm like a lapdog, all bark no bite.

oh that must have been something, yeah don't buy stuff from RLMT source just buy plex if you MUST have that shiny new ship, and....don't go to low sec if you want to keep it for more than a few minutes.

Though surely, with that many warp stabs, youdve been able to warp away?

What the? I don't even?

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

your ability to survive any sort of pvp relies on the amount of money you have paid to ccp...in addition to your skills and number of space friends. you can be skilled out the wazoo, but if you're buying stuff from rubyfam and selling it in game to buy plex, ccp will crash your program as soon as you jump into a low sec gate camp. when you log back in you can forget about your ship working properly as the space nerds take you apart



Although I'm still wiping the coffee of my shirt after seeing your fit I do sympathise as I have had more than a couple of DC's ruin my day but as your post mentions you are potentially RMT'ing my sympathy just went the same way as your ship and pod.
In before ban!!

So, you're upset because you RMTed and then you DCed and are claiming the DC was because you RMTed?

Well, I've got some news for you, DCing isn't connected to RMTing, it's due to network issues. However being banned is connected to RMTing.

Also, that was a mercy killing to prevent that Phoon from further abuse.

1.) I have a lot of sympathy for DC'ing at inopportune times.... I've lost more than a couple ships because of it... and I don't know why it happens. Chalk it up as part of the game....

2.) I have no Sympathy for people that buy ingame goods from third-parties for REAL MONEY.... This is known as RMT, is a bannable offense, and if you ever do it again, I hope you get permabanned. RMT companies make most of their isk by botting, hacking, or cheating in some manner, and purchasing things from them supports that behavior. The ONLY in-game item you are allowed to purchase with RL Money is PLEX... and you are only allowed to purchase it from CCP approved retailers.

3.) CCP straight up BANS accounts that get involved in RMT.... so unless you were banned during that specific random point of going through a gate into hostiles, CCP did not cause you to disconnect. If you were banned during that exact point, I'm fairly certain is was just a coincidence.

Locked topic for ranting, and removed RMT site reference.

The forum rules frown on both these things.

I would like to remind you that trading in game items for real money is strictly forbidden.

If you would like to buff your in game wallet, we offer you several legal options on our account management page, you don't need to resort to illegal methods which will bring you into trouble.
