Hi,

I'm total newbie in the EVE universe, just started few days ago. Reading information about EVE, I came out to one confusing thing.
I believe, I read somewhere that if I have say 500ml ISK( or maybe higher) I can buy a PLEX and then extend the game time. Unfortunately, it seems wrong (no?).. For example this thread->https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=165359&find=unread

States, that I can sell PLEX for ISK's but cant do the way around... hm..

So, here is some people who has billions... what do you do with that ISKs?? What's a point for you to trade or mine? To make billions and not use them at all....
I was thinking it is possible to sell ISKs, PLEX, and etc for real money...

P.S: I think ISKs are helpful for newbie or some mid-level player who needs to upgrade ship and buy some other ships, those who growed up, ISK doesnt make any sense. If you feel so, do not hesitate to donate few mlns to newbie;) would be appreciated

The more isk you got the higher "level" your char is :)

Translation: I don't see why you should need your ISK. Give it to me.

EDIT: In case the first few paragraphs weren't just a disguise for your begging thread, late-game players need ISK because their ships die. Ships only exist to explode.

Big smile I was waiting for this kind of answer)))). The main thing, which made me disappoint is that I can't extend game time with ISK and I'm looking confirmation for this one. And of course as you've mentioned, I want some kick start in the game)

You can use isk to buy PLEX which you can use to extend your gametime. Selling isk or PLEX for real money is not allowed.

He seems to be attempting to use begging to kickstart an RMT business. A novel approach, I'll admit.

What would the f* RMT business mean, I've no idea. As I said, Im new to this game and dont want to spend real money to get upgrades and etc, instead I wanted just some kick start. Seems you big daddy, arent going to give any sh*t, can understand, but to call it "begging" is ridiculous.

P.S: i've got an answer for my question. can delete the forum thread, can't read this pro-gamers anymore

More isk means you get to play in new markets and unlock new gameplay experiences, and you eventually get the ability to move markets rather than simply reacting to them.

In short the OP translates to '' Donate your isk to me it has no use for you'' .

Luckily for you... I am the real ISK doubler. Any amount you send me I will double. You can get a kick start this way! :).

He has probabbly been banned allready for even thinking about RMT, well anyway I'm off to check up on my 50 mining bots. Don't worry CCP it's all Kosher I'm just botting super caps not for RMT purposes.

I'm actively reading the forum, and I've got one very important thing. Unfortunately, didnt know it before, but thanks to this forum and people like you Brewlar and etc, who is commented...

I've got one thing: YOU are not going to give any sh**even to your brother if he will be in this game)). Just made 2 mln doing simple tutorial missions and for some reason you love so much ISK and this game.. God people, just asking is not prohibited

No it really isn't prohibited. You just don't know how to properly communicate with your fellow capsuleers. Just standard & basic communicative skills is all this game requires, you have failed to meet this somehow.

It wasn't Brewlar that said that. His failures in communication are mostly deliberate.

Still, you are right. When asking for help on a forum the onus is on you to communicate your needs in a manner that your audience understands... and without displaying an attitude that removes their desire to help you.
