EVE General Discussion

Doing PVP is like putting a drain in your wallet. This is really funny, 'cause folks come here all the time claiming this is a PVP Only game. Then, they cry about making money to "pay for PVP." If it were exclusively PVP, you wouldn't have to pay for it by other means. It would pay for itself. There's a bit of logic common thugs have difficulty wrapping around what brain they might have.

I find it difficult to believe anyone playing long enough to call themselves a "FC" as though it was a career position isn't aware of how to fund PVP. I'm also surprised to learn a lot of folks I thought were made of sterner stuff have melted like butter on this thread. (I did especially like "i just buy plex and sale them. so no need to mine or mission i can just pvp" [the word is "sell", not "sale", by the way.] That line just made my day.)

Get out there and sale PLEX like a good thug.

Yeah. Get in there and victimize the people risking all they own with you; the same ones losing money as fast as you are. Get in there and be part of their drain to stop yours up! That's how EVE is played. Screw as many people as you can as fast as you can. If that's not a recipe for cooperative endeavor in a social environment, I don't know what is!

+1 on screwing your fleet mates to use their money to pay for your PvP.
It's so "New EVE" I can't believe no one thought of it before! Nuevo EVE-O.

Imagine how sharp your game will be when you're playing with people who'd fall for it! Meta gaming. You gotta love it.

You get the added bonus of saying, "Everybody sucks but me!"

Best ''legit'' way to earn money by far is trade.The problem is it will take a good month of devotion to get the hang of it.After that it get's less time consuming by the week.

I used to do trade 3 months a year approx and that allways was sufficient to make enough for pvp.At a certain point it becomes more then enough for your pvp , plex and keeping the isk growing to the point where it only takes an hour a week to earn billions in that week.But at that point you will have been trading for at least a year.

Anyway , give it a try , but you will have to lower the FCing a bit at start , a small offer for what it can bring though.



On a sidenote , a lot of corporations and alliances do pay their FC's IF they are decent enough and if the corporation/Alliance can afford it.But i've seen it done in a lot of small corporations too as long as you are not whelping expensive **** daily.

Not my main way of making isk,


But place random shuttles in lowsec for 100mil isk is both absolutely hilarious and will net you some profit as time goes by.

Ratting

Doing esclations

Buy cheap broken chars, make then usefull in 6 months time, sell for profit.

Become the greatest FC ever and let your alliance pay for your stuff.

Spend one Saturday a month running incursions.

That's pretty much all you need to do.

Yeah, our head diplo runs with TDF, so I'll probably give Incursions a try

That's awesome money for a newbro. We have a few newbros here at Southern Syndicate who are earning that sort of ISK. Good luck with your mining career :)
