You are roughly 120% wrong about this.

But hey, as I learned, whatever Lucas thinks the game should be like is the only acceptable definition of gameplay. Glad to know you know more than the rest of us mere mortals.

You are by far one of the least creative people I have interacted with in EVE so far.

ITT Lucas Kell can't understand how "Give Isk" function works, which is sad for an older EVE player.

Dear CCP please provide a tutorial for players to explain that GIVING Isk to a player is a choice of the player and not dependent on game mechanics. It is obvious the line is too blurry when long time EVE players fail to understand the difference between being GIVEN isk and acquiring isk.

I suggest a brief tutorial with an example, for simplicity sake have all new players give ISK to me, Mario Putzo. It will teach new folks isk transferring is done, and make me gorillions (hopefully) that is a win win!

Tut tut Mario.

Don't you know that's cheating. That lets you acquire ISK at an accelarated rate compared ...... oh never mind. No it doesn't.

The poster you are reffering to once told me that he only posts here when he's bored at work. I found the cure for that. All I can see from the poster you mention (unless someone if fool enough to QUOTE him, please stop doing that btw) is this:

I'm telling you, using the ignore feature made coming to this forum a million times less irritating...exept when some not-smart person quotes that poster.


Also using that feature. Unfortunately like you say the poster in question is quoted quite often, as his special style of ignoring what you write and then tell you what "you really mean" rightfully agitates quite a lot of people. There is nothing like that you suddenly have to defend opinions you never had to begin with. it is almost an art... almost

This formidable, I didn't know you could do that.

Excellent.

Was scrolling down most of what he was writing anyway. Big smile



This thread has become so much shorter. A pity that Lucas has drowned any interesting discussion.

Oh, Lucas understands everything quite well.

He is trying to get threads locked very much with intention.

Arguing for the "fun" of it.

Nobody could really stubbornly ignore so many things in such a way so often in so many threads unless they were doing it for a purpose.

He's trying to get threads locked.

If it were in my power I'd bring the permanent forum banhammer down on him for messing with the forums intentionally long-term.

No, I'm saying the application gives a bigger and more unfair advantage.

Also this is another of your strawman arguments.
No it's not, you stated quite clearly that your ship would just be random parts thrwon together because you had no fitting tool, implying that prior to fitting tools people were incapable of fitting a ship properly.

Dude. Come oooon. It's not 'trolling' to point out that you literally call the same thing both a fact, and an "opinion" all in the same post.
Except I'm not calling the same thing both that's referring to two different things. It's a fact that the IWI application is what facilitates his accelerated acquisition of isk. It's my opinion that it conveys an uanfir enough advantage that it should be be disallowed.

If you say so buddy. It's not my fault if you don't know what constitutes normal gameplay when referring to a game even though it's a simple concept. Why don't you go get CCP to define it for you if you wont accept that the game without tools is considered normal gameplay.

Sure I can, you just can't understand what "facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate" means. I've made it as simple for you to understand, yet you seem to ignore it. Here, I'll do it again. If IWI the application were not allowed to be used, they would not be able to acquire isk at the rate they do, thus the application is what facilitates the accelerated acquisition.

Except I'm not, I'm stating a point and having a bunch of people deny reality at me. This is what's funny. The point of contention is where or not the benefit gained is unfair, yet they are too busy trying to swear blind that there is no benefit or trying to suggest that because other unrelated software which benefits multiple people exists, that's proof that software allowing one players to be richer than 40,000 other people is also acceptable.

The fact that you disagree with my arguments shouldn't get me banned. In fact the thing that should be banned is people like yourself choosing to attack the poster rather than be part of the discussion. There's a block button if you want to use it, or you could simply not read my posts. You could even just opt out of threads I'm a major part of. But no, apparently insinuating I have an alternate agenda and complaining that free speech exists is the preferable path to you.

Your tears are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too delicious to do that.
Instead of being butthurt about (rightfully) losing your space, how about you grow some balls and just accept that Mittlers RMT empire is over and your carebear paradise is being burned to the ground with no way of getting it back.
Crying to CCP won't change that. Be butthurt all you want about Aegis sov. It's working EXACTLY as intended, whether or not you see it that way.

Arguing with you is like arguing with a 10 year old entitled rich gore. You keep whining and whining until everyone shuts up and makes jokes about you in the backyard, while you got to convince yourself that you've won whatever imaginary battle you came up with. The truth is, nobody gives a ****. The only reason you're being argued with is for all those delicious tears that you keep throwing around. You've been made a clown and are amusing everyone but yourself. That's the ONLY reason people are still answering you and you just don't get it and keep fighting your imaginary battle.

Honestly, just drop it. At the end of the day, EVE is still just a video game and you're taking it way too seriously.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

Except of course that my opinions on this go back to long before this war.

What's funny is you claim it's "tears" as you people tend to, then you immediately start throwing around "mittler" and the ever classic and as of yet unproven "RMT empire". It's even funnier that it's in defense of a IWI who is considered by our communities RMT expert as more likely than not engaged in RMT.

It's not really working as intended which is why CCP have not pushed entosis onto citadels and have indicated they have plans to move sov away from entosis and into citadels. To be more accurate you should really say it's working as you hoped, since it gives an advantage to non-sov holders.

How is Mittani financing his life?
He has no job.
He's constantly on parties.
He's got these yacht boat trips all over.

So where's that money coming from, since that failed legal assistant isn't working. All he has is his multi-dollar media site. That's his income source, and that's why he's so butthurt about his empire being burned to crisps.
No empire, no media site, no ad income. And thus, the RMT cycle ends.
I never accused him of selling ISK, although it's probably a dead given that he's involved in that activity.

Whatever. I'm not going to argue with you since it's nothing but a waste of time, as others have pointed out so often already.

By running a gaming media site focussed on EVE (and I was under the impression he's got a lot of money from his family too). What's really funny here is you are simultaneously attacking his site by calling it a "multi-dollar media site" to claim it makes no income yet at the same time claiming he's earning enough to go on parties and yacht trips frivolously. Which is it, does it make no money or is he rolling around in cash on a yacht lighting cubans with benajmins?

I don't think you know what RMT is. RMT isn't just someone making money from playing a video game, if that were the case, players like Rixx Javix would be an RMTer as would all of the streamers. RMT is when in game items or isk is being traded for cash, amusingly something that Nosy (and most other sane people) thinks is likely to be occurring at IWI.

By the way, see things like when you say "that failed legal assistant", that's you launching out of game personal attacks on the player behind the character. It's funny how people like you get on your high horse about other people taking things too seriously while you aren't even able to restrict your hatred to in-game rivalry.

And yes, oftentimes it's pointless to argue with me because many of the people attempting to do it don't actually have well thought out and valid points, they have rage, bias and wild assumptions.

I wonder where I said his site doesn't make any income, since I clearly stated that's his income source.

Yet again, you have failed to understand a post you're replying to. Happens a lot, doesn't it?
So, comment to this whatever you want. I won't reply another time, but I'll continue to read your whiny posts for my amusement. They're just too good to give up.

So you're saying you calling it a "multi-dollar media site" isn't in fact you trying to insult it by claiming it's low income? Be serious mate lol. And if you seriously think ad revenue from a site of that size is enough to live a lavish lifestyle you have serious misunderstandings about ad revenue.

Linus Gorp wrote:

I don;t particularly care. Anyone taking the game so seriously they feel the need to launch personal real-life attacks needs a reality check, I really don't care who it is. You're just the one doing it here then accusing me of taking the game too seriously, so I'm pointing out the hypocrisy in that.

Linus Gorp wrote:

Then it should be no problem for you to dispute the points made rather than just telling me how awful a poster I am and complaining about non-existent RMT.

I could do this all day, this is easymode.
