EVE General Discussion

D'oh. Forgot about those. It's been a few years since I bothered to mine last, is my excuse.


I've no idea why you'd bring this onto the table, at all.


The first one to get off a cycle, gets the content. Player vs player competition.


And I can undercut you with 0.01 ISK to the point where you never get to sell your stuff, because I'm always the "preferred buy/seller order". Player vs player competition.


You're still competing against other players.

I ran out of milk just now so I went to the shops. There was some ************ in front of me in the queue, so I was all like "hey fucknuts, you're making me spend more time here, I could be making money instead", so I slapped him down and went to pay for my stuff. Woman at the counter tells me "that's £1.50 please" and I'm all like "the ****? are you ******* with me? I know your game, you're trying to take all my money and leave me with jack ****", so I punched her in the face and go to leave. On my way out, I notice this woman sneakily trying to put some fruit in her basket. Weeellll... ***** ain't getting ME with that asset denial bullshit. After I finished teabagging her, I went home, had a coffee and laughed at all the sociopaths on the Eve forums for a while. Idiots.

PS it would have been better if you'd suicide-bombed a milk truck as well, but nvm we can work on improvements.

Topics like these make me wonder why I even bother reading these forums instead of doing my work sometimes.

Why not buy those ships and resell them? Should be easy money then, you don't even have to move them.

Has it ever occured that it could be an NPC selling them just like those that sell books, ammo, ships in general and the basic mods, all of those that are on a 80+ days waiting list, just so there are items of that kind in case nobody has bothered to manufacture them? Good job on undercutting an NPC and screwing up it's business.

As for you still getting your ships sold even after someone undercuts you with one item. That is exactly what I was talking about. Good job on proving my point.

You haven't proved anything other than he understands how the market works. Just FYI there are very few NPC vendors, mostly in starter systems, and none of them will be undercutting you on the market.

As far as the other, you get missioners who don't play or don't know how to play that throw an item up under an actual trader who has quantity. The prevailing thought in my mind is by severely undercutting an actual trader will come along and buy it up to resell at his market sell price for profit, which works fine for me becaues i get paid fast. OR some lucky guy who actually needs it stumbles upon it and gets a great deal. Onsies aside, your wallet will not blink when you finally run into real market competition, if they put 25+ of the same item up for .01 isk less than yours, good luck selling because that's going to continue to happen unless you actively play the game and start an isk war.

Or you know, you could just give up and sell your stock to the guy for substantially less.

You do not appear to understand the definition of PvP as it relates to this game. It means Player vs Player. Unless you mine alone in a belt with no-one else present, refining those minerals to build a ship for yourself and never ever have any interaction with any other player in the game, then you are partaking in PvP. Whenever you buy or sell anything to someone on the market, that's PvP, whenever you attempt to get to a resource before another player, that's PvP.

Whether you can accept these facts is up to you, nothing you say or do however, will change those facts.

Then I must be very good at EVE's pvp since I always sell the items I want to sell and very quick at that, well except that ship I had in Amarr 18 jumps away, cough, it was too pricey, nobody bought it, eventually expired and was taken off the market, but that's one out of the many thousands I have sold, so it's like 99.99:0.01, a pretty good ratio for PvP don't you think? The best part is I can always go there, change the price, or even sell it to the first buyer and make it the perfect 100% win ratio, I think in that case I deserve to get a title for getting a perfect 100% sell record, like "Master of Trade PvP" or something. After all I have to put some effort to get that record, I mean flying through 18 gates is a big F deal, it requires a lot of work and planning, I have to check item prices, number of items, how long the order has been on the market, all that kinds of trade PvP stuff.

Yeah, Kortanil really doesn't get this whole PVP deal. That's okay, not everyone gets eve.
