EVE General Discussion

The best way would obviously be to not buy ISK.

lol at the first person. ive done all the tutorials and have 4.0 and 3.0 standings with lots of agents. I hit the missions pretty hard all the time. anyway, does anyone have anything useful information to add?

corp is just me, my guy is only 1.9m sp strong, I actually didnt really know the game had rules against buying the isk, least I wouldnt have thought theyd care that much being that its just isk. but Ive come to learn people are pretty hardcore when considering this game, and ccp is kinda greedy. so obviously im trying to abide by the rules now, although my wallet balance is negative enough to where most of my missions only pay like 800k total and maybe some extra from salvaging and looting. to begin with I spent 8 bucks for 500m isk and I guess the account had been compromised from the start I think or atleast it was busted. lol its weird how everyone makes a big deal out of it though, kind of astounding for a game to of come to this point, but all in all very interesting at the same time. but yeah I owe like 437m or so right now and a plex is more than enough to solve that if sold.

saw that and tried to accept, this is precisely what it had said right after ''Your wallet contains only -439,323,127.29 ISK, but you require 0.00 ISK to complete this operation.'' then at the top of the box saying that it says NOT ENOUGH ISK.

lol thats roughh ccp went hard.

I think you can reverse redeem the PLEX and grab it on an alt in the same station and on the same account, and then sell it.

I made a contract, just check for it

Understandable for a new player, especially as all the "eve gold" (sic) sellers make it appear as if it was both legal and necessary to buy isk.



Most of the isk from those illegal sources is stolen from fellow eve-players who got their account compromised. Very frequently those compromised accounts have bought isk themselves and were asked to enter their account details at some point.

So CCP is protecting your account by asking you to not go and buy isk on a third party site. Also: did you change your password since then ? If not: do it right now !




2 reasons:

1) illegal isk buyers are the first to get their accounts "hacked". I put hacked between quotes, because they mostly gave their account details willingly away.

2) ISK is the fuel for the big mean war machine. ISK can be converted into PLEX, AURUM and most importantly: tears.

Or in other words: if isk was unimportant, why did you feel the need to buy it with real cash ?

After Incarna it will still be burned, but mostly for being a dumbass.

Make an alt on the same account, use it to sell the plex and transfer the isk to your main.

CCP likes people paying for ISK then they can force them negative, then they MUST buy PLEX to play Eve again :)

Win Win :)
