EVE New Citizens Q&A

Greetings!

As a financially secure pilot with a successful Jita-based business, I would like to give something back to help new pilots into the game. This is an opportunity for new pilots to get off to a great start.

Let's get a few things established quickly;

• I am giving ISK to newer players, as an interest-free loan, repaid only when you are willing and able, to help you into the game
• You do not have to send me any ISK or offer any collateral as security - this is not a scam
• Repayment is optional - I will rely on your sense of goodwill and fairness

Eligibility requirements;

• You must have less than 10 million skillpoints
• You must have held your pilot license for a minimum of 3 weeks and a maximum of 12 months
• You must have less than 100m ISK in your wallet
• You must be willing to share your limited API (details from CCP here) privately with me, so I can check you do not have older characters in your account, or adequate financial resources already in place - there is absolutely no risk in sharing your API, however I need to protect myself from scams
• You must have some standings/proof of activity from missions, mining, or PvP, so I know you're not an inactive alt (I can check this via the API)

You must apply in this thread, and include the following information;

1. What you enjoy about Eve
2. What your goals are and what you hope to achieve in-game
3. The amount of ISK you wish to borrow
4. What you will use the ISK for - please be as detailed as possible to help me assess the amount required

How it works

• Post your application for financial assistance in this thread - as per the 4 points above
• I will then review the applications, generally one every day or two
• I will reply in this thread notifying you if your application is approved
• You will then send me your API for verification - I must be able to see your wallet activity, skills, characters in the account, and standings
• Once you are verified, I will transfer you the ISK
• You may repay the ISK when you have become more successful in EVE and can afford to - I understand that for some of you, this may never happen, but I offer this service in goodwill and hope to recoup at least some of the ISK

Q&A

Q: How will you afford this?
A: I am setting aside 20% of my daily trading profits for this good cause. I will loan out ISK up to this level.

Q: How will you ensure you get paid back?
A: I cannot ensure this. I know I will probably lose ISK. But I hope that enough new pilots will go on to succeed and repay me at some point in their future, that I will not lose too much money in the long-term.

Q: Why are you doing this?
A: My reasons are genuinely altruistic. To help new players out - but not just any new players, those with clear goals and who need a helping hand to realise their EVE dreams.

Q: How does the API work? Is it safe?
A: It is 100% safe and is intended by CCP to be used for verifications of this nature. Further details can be found at the official API guide here: https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/202428251-API-Key-Management

Feel free to ask any questions. You can also convo me in-game, if I'm online. Thanks!

you dont have a monocle
also this will be moved , inappropriate for here

instead of handing out ISK, why not hand out 10 packs of fitted T1 frigates?

Meh, disregard my previous post. Should have read the entire post before responding.

Thank you for your repsonses.

May I please remind you that this is a service for new players only.

To clarify, the only API data I need to verify an application is: characters on the account, wallet transactions, standings, and skills. This is so that I can verify that the character meets eligibility requirements.

Here is CCP's official guide to using the API: https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/202428251-API-Key-Management

From the Monocled Elite... not wearing a Monocle. What is this scam?

Sigh, apparently I didn't wipe my post fast enough. Sorry for the original response. I walked away thinking I that I covered my mistake quickly enough as there were no responses.
Not going to get into any argument about who is better at helping newbies. It is something I do because I enjoy doing it, not because I'm trying to one-up anyone else.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Time to roll 100 throwaway trial accounts and cycle through the character slots....

p.s.

People who rely on an API for security reasons are dumb as ****.

Buddy invites are 3 weeks.
Now, let's say, I buy a PLEX with the buddy and then sub the account for 30 days. This give my main the option of also picking 30 days of game time. So basically: 51 days of throwaway alt, for free.

You clearly haven't got a clue how stuff works and how it can be abused. But, meh, good luck.

Thanks for the Free ISK in advance, I will put it to good use.

You have to like how fast people come up with ways to scam whatever idea you come up with in this game. Its like thats all they do is figure out how to scam someone or the system.
