Market Discussions

If you only have a few hundred mill, really you shouldn't be worried. If you have 3 digit billions then yeh, like Zaxix says, just wind down all your orders, trash wallet history with region junk buys that will cost you a couple of mill. and move isk to another new account trashing disposble characters. Not really rocket science :)

What a compelling argument.

I don't have 3 digit billions. I've been playing for 12 days. But, sure, I suppose I would do that if I were interested in flushing my wallet to join a corp, but it appears this game is full of the worst of the worst of the internet. I mean, the people you elect to your alliances actually publicly advise you to try to terrorize players into killing themselves? First time that happens, CCP is going to get a huge lawsuit because they only suspended that guy for a month. It'll be a cold day in hell when the public lets terms of service override wrongful death.

CCP is doing players a major wrong by incporating wallets and transactions into APIs. The corp heads should have to ask for a screenshot or something if they're that worried. They are well away of the kind of internet scams people play with both fake and real money and giving people all your transaction history is the numero uno way to fall into one. What spy would be stupid enough to create a 12 day old spy toon and then transfer it a billion or something wherein someone would need to see the wallet.

It's interesting that you brought up flushing the wallet with minerals, because those are the last major transactions on my wallet. I'm sure it's just a coincidence though... https://imageshack.com/a/img21/6938/ri3l.png

Of course, I'm just making control towers and nanite whatever they're called. I'm going to make a whopping 800k a day after customs tax and it'll take like a month to make up for the cost of assembling the colony. Though I wonder if CCP is going to look a little harder at Glenn Beck's claims about the Behngazi attack now and explain to me how people "happen" to know my transaction history and how the first person who contacted me "happened" to know a great deal about the tiny little sect of Christianity that I was raised which nobody else knows about which happens to own the U.S. Government organization "C Street." I can even send them the police reports directly connecting me to Ted Haggard, Pat Robertson, Loren Cunningham, Lou Engle, and a great many other people.

If you guys are stalking me in game, whatever reason your corp gave you is ostensible, I deal with people like that in real life because I ratted out some people to the police who are more powerful than the police.

If you're just mad at me for exposing your little API data mine, well, then, I guess it's just chance that it coincides with the guy who seemed to know everything about the little cult that is the real power in the U.S..

Classic.

I dont want to make the OP even more paranoid, but, in addition to locator agents, there are also passive targeters and cargo scanners which people can use to see what you are carrying.

In addition, there are several out of game sites people can use for various things, all without having your API.

It is not difficult, via, locator agents, and reading ability to figure out what someone is buying.

Short version, if you are as paranoid as you are making out, make a 1 man corp and do everything yourself, you can get boosted by Estel Arador for POS standings, so you can do your own research and invention etc, so there is not even any need to grind.

B: Cheeking it.

That depends what you are checking for.

Evemon, Jeve, EveHQ for basic stuff, basically, any app that you use to do stuff with for your char can be used with someone elses API.

I will tell you another secrets:
1. All software/sites that use your API to show you trade/refine/etc data are acctually spy on your info creating a huge database which later used to make tons of isk.

2. CCP sells your data, and many others, to major alliances for isk. This way eliminating isk from the game. Ask any major diplomat about "isk for info" and see.

3. The NSA uses fake corps to collect API to monitor black market transactions through RMT that sell guns, body parts, etc around the world. CCP refused to hand this info to an american agency, thats why they make the fake corps. BoB was founded as an FBI corp, dont know about the NSA corps.

4. The Mossad had a program of recruiting spies, then checking if they fit by asking them to infletrate eve corps. 11/12 BL spies are former Mossad recruits who just kept playing.

5. China used to do market manipulations in jita in order to test future IRL economic plans.

6. MCB Quantico has a room with computers, future officers are tested as FC's in EvE before recieving the rank. Its not the only test related to mmos btw, they also lead raids in WOW, the generals get the loot :(

7. During the purchase of "Tranquility", CCP visited a military bunker in texas to review the "persistent layer". It is believd that during that visit CCP Rise spotted an alien vessel hidden frim public. The design was later used to create the "nyx".

8. Knights templar, used the Jove space to test plans of world dominance.


Ok, now almost all the secrets are out. People can comment and provide more info about this if they have any, i only have partial info.

Now who's the epic troll. Whereas I certainly see the benefit of using effective "no-rules" economic and warfare sims examine methodologies, I think you're very amusing. I mean, after all, the U.S. Government spent billions on programs that would be far less educating than economic simulations, like their ostensible 20 year, multi-billion project to find out that LSD doesn't control peoples' minds.

I deal with people who do this stuff in real life, the corporate warfare, murders, illegal trade, etc.. I was a bit thrown off when someone from their sect was the first to approach me in game as they've already physically attacked me and my family, IRL.

I think this game should stay just the way it is. I'm a socialist and history tells us that people engaging in this kind of behavior have the best chance of overthrowing capitalist totalitarian regimes because they become conditioned to show what un-cultured looks like to the masses.

Anyway, those of us who have studied Greek religion and philosophy know exactly why the one unreachable spot in the game is called the Jove empire. Just as we understand that Royal Amarr Institute's logo is a vertically skewed eye of providence and Khanid innovation is quite literally the Eye of Providence.

I'm aware of cargo scanners. If you want to blow up my mark V with my 4 million in minerals in .9 space, go right ahead. Anything much more valuable than that and it's worth the 500k/jump to contract with shippers. I'm not the paranoid one, you people demand my financial info, I say no... simple as that. I'm simply advising new players not to freely give out sensitive information like that to scammers who are data mining it.
