You know, for a Russian bot, your English is really good. I'm quite surprised actually.

This is quite possibly the dumbest idea you could propose in this game. The trillionaires that are board with EvE would just sell all of their isk for hundres, maybe even thousands of dollars, and then quit the game for good. Also, lets no forget how much illegal stuff in RL would be happening through this "free" laundering service.

-1 Russian bot, go back to your creator and work on a better program.


Isk would become Russia's third largest export after fossil fuels and internet brides.

Case in point is that people go over all of this for ISK and drama: from awoxing to doxing and theft, to disbanding of whole major alliances through director level spies. Imagine what will be done for real life money by some contingents, if the mechanics and the workings of the game stay the same.

Even zKillboard attaches real life value to the kills right now, which I see as a travesty.

CCP could easily act as a middle man. For example and to better explain.

Player A wants to acquire 20 Billion isk.

Player B has 20 Billion isk he is willing to part with.

Player A advertises on isk exchange forums.

Player B sets up trade. CCP oversees trade and takes a cut. Say 10% of the cash exchanged.


This idea dosn't work. What CCP wants and what is valid is that they get the real money when you purchase isk. REAL money means Dollar, Euro, Pound, Ruble, whatever but not ISK. You purchase a PLEX from CCP, you get ISK, they get real money.

In your example player A pays real money to player B and not CCP. CCP only gets isk and there are easier ways to create ISK sinks in the game.

I'm actually fairly certain this wouldn't even be legal for CCP to allow, as it would facilitate money laundering. The only way such a system would be allowed in many modern countries is if CCP would impose very strict rules on their account registration, requiring someone to confirm their identity somehow (copies of ID or passports) and confirming someone's place of residence. Needless to say, this would effectively kill the game because no-one is going to do that just to play a game.

So even if CCP would WANT to allow it, they couldn't without effectively killing their game. And that doesn't even go into why allowing RMT is such an insanely ret*rded idea...

Russians are always engaging in massive rmt and its pretty much impossible to do anything about it.
