It's really cute how you express your wishes and desires in such a stealthy way. ^_^

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

My affection for you grows daily.

I shudder to think what actions you'd take as ISD.

You go about doing this the same way our species has handled this kind of "business" for the last 3000 years IRL: Massive enterprise with a massive amount of sellers and obscene amount of buyers. But everybody keeps their mouth shut. We don't talk about it; it does not exist.

Hello there!

It's perfectly fine.

Prostitution for ISK or ships (i'd rather void PLEX directly) is way more common in New Eden
than most people realise. It's a legit way of making ISK and as long as you keep it private ...
... or stay classy and sexy in local (erotic novels are a thing you know?) ...

*kinks* (:



There is your response.

You need to learn that theory in many cases doesn't mirror practise.


So sure, while you can point out the silly rules which don't get enforced in 90% of the game ...
... at least not by default, pemanent technical methods ...
... everyone else realises that it's bullshit, because 99% of the people do not care.


Source: Hek, Jita, Dodixie local.
That's regular conversations.

Or systems with ganked miners.
Systems with ganked carebears in general, actually.

Carebears, who talk **** like there's no tomorrow, too.
They want to kill you, hurt you, wish you death.

The ones who are so disconnected from reality,
that they forget that identifying with the actions ingame is nuts.

I guess this might include you. And Basil.
Not sure about that. Yet.


Anyhow, I can not blame you for not knowing better,
and I won't blame you for your gigantic ignorance based on your imaginary superiority,
but I can tell you that ...

... you did not, in any way or form, answer my question.


Will people be heard if they petition? Yes.
Will it have severe consequences? Only when **** really hit the fan.


With "common sense applies" you might get an insight in how things work.

Hello, I am wondering if simulated prostitution is against the terms of service laid out by CCP. I know it is a funny question, but if you read my post history, you will see I do not troll. Please keep responses serious, respectful and focused only on my question(s).

Hypothetically: Let's say I would like to make ISK selling my virtual body. Would there be limits or restrictions placed on this type of in-game behavior? The sessions would take place via private chat, and only the sale itself would be announced in Local.

I would guess that in spite of Eve's reputation for unregulated market activity, there still has to be restrictions on the nature of the language used to promote the activity. What might those restrictions be?

I searched the forum and could not find past discussions on the topic. Has this ever come up before?

Reminder: Please keep responses clean and respectful.

That doesn't sound much like a carebear to me. P
I have seen them apologising to their alliances for their conduct on third party sites because they have been banned.

You don't see it. A lot of people come back from "a break" because they had some "real life thing that happened."

Yes, a good Amarrian never pays for it. What do you think slaves are for?
