Maybe I'm just providing a service here but it feels dirty. I'm sure you've seen people hanging out in jita with billion-isk killrights sitting within the docking radius. Clearly they want you to buy the killright from their alt; then they'll just dock up.

But as with isk doubling and miner bumping, there's a way to turn anything into a "legitimate" business. Particularly in a world full of trigger-happy gankers. So I took out Athena's catalyst (one of many alts) and ganked myself, generating a killright on Athena that I could sell. Both characters being under 900k sp means there's no real loss here.

Then it was time to set a more reasonable pricepoint. This takes almost no effort... 100mil? 100mil seems more reasonable a return than a bil for almost nothing invested.

Then it was just up to finding something that looked like it had worth but didn't.
The Primae. It used to be worth something. With industrial changes it becomes less and less worthwhile. But most people don't have one of their killboard. Load it up with a couple of mods that look like they might have some value, and sit clearly outside the docking radius of the station.

Then I did the one thing that's guaranteed to get you killed. I started autopiloting. Or I'd just let my ship sit outside a station and walk away. Soon enough I'd earned 100mil.

Rinse, repeat.

I set out thinking I was starting a scam.
But I'm beginning to think it may just be a completely legitimate service. "Gank a primae! Only 100 mil!". Maybe it should even be advertised. But it still feels exploitative.

How come it's an exploit if somebody is stupid enough to pay you 100mil for killrights instead of just ganking you with 2 mil dessie?
Well, it is making money on stupidity but that is basically how you do anything in Eve :)

It's not an exploit. It's a tax on stupidity.

If you think that's cool, try putting some plastic wraps in a freighter, fully insuring it, and sitting on a gate with a billion killright active. I've heard that works. Now, I can only condone this if you have a mining permit and stay at your keyboard to greet the agents passing by.

Just be aware that with a lot of -5 sec status pilots in FW you can have a few losses before a kill right worth selling (though even kill rights on -10 characters are purchased by those too quick to check).

The best approach is to roll a fresh character with no training, that way you don't even have to update the clone ever and can just go getting podded with no downside.

Well slap me with a herring and call me Charlie … are you saying the fee for a sold kill right goes to the seller, not CONCORD?

Yes Charlie. The player who sells the killright receives the ISK.

the only exploit is that you found a way to exploit ppl stupidity, and med isk of it.

this is legit, you stay within the boundarys of game mechanics, no problem here, may you become many rich with it
