RMT is difficult to PROVE,


I can't buy into that idea...(see what I did there?).

Someone is marketing huge amounts of ISK on various Internet sites; that part is incontrovertible. This game is all about the database. And given that the RMT market for ISK works in specific amounts....tracking the movement of said amounts of ISK should not be that difficult. Time consuming? Labor intensive? Yep.........more than likely a manpower issue.



The simple solution to all this speculation bullshit is for CCP to hire an Ombudsman and investigate these claims and others like them. And that will never happen. CCP would be crazy to look under the sofa. They ain't gonna like what they find.

Frankly I love this drama. Makes you think these guys in 0.0 are really organized and make a tonne of RL cash farming 0.0. But we all know thats total bullshit, amirite?

"My character isn't very good at obeying others. So, after three (3) months I quit the job..."

He's talking about himself in real life. Is he playing a character at work? Sounds like he's talking about roleplaying in a game.

I'm surprised he didn't comment that the graphics weren't very good at work.

A big alliance leader who can't get his act together in real life? I nearly died of not surprise. Roll

I agree with this if you include everyone who ever bought or used a PLEX

I am not sure I trust a translated transcript of a voice chat. That said I would like to remind CCP of two things:\

1. US anti-online gambling laws clearly say that while money in is OK (microtransactions) money out is not. The US government can and has had credit card companies and paypal refuse to make payments to offshore casinos.

2. Every time there is a cash out in EvE it opens up question about the taxation of virtual assets. Allowing RMT places all players in danger of RL tax consequences for playing EvE.

It might be better if CCP simply altered its terms of service to allow alliances to incorporate as non-profits and pay their leadership.

Later what happened was that the ISK exchange rate fell, i.e. the lower the exchange rate, the more ISK I needed. Eventually in January I took 60kkk (60 BILLION) from the alliance wallet. I believe that if i hadn't done that, then RA financial situation right now would have been slightly better.


Confirming I have more isk in my wallet than RA.

Why are people surprised by all the RMT in this game? There is even a CSM member to make sure no game mechanic changes happen that might threaten RMT in this game.

I feel for Doger...

RL > EVE

Yet, again he is not leaving in a fiasco, and is being honest - no matter what the situation.

This is why I say you legalise bots so that everyone is on the same playing field, the tasks in EVE for ISK making are largely autonomous and boring, this would also eliminate the need to pay for ISK since why would people pay for something virtual that they no longer have to do any work for?

It's supply and demand folks, get over it, the game design is at fault here and people are simply choosing to ignore this fact.

p.s. Quitting to pursue a passion that will lead you to a career which you can enjoy far more and make money at the same time I can completely understand, but ditching a job in order to pursue a bloody video game is the most stupid thing I've ever heard



I recall one of the earliest multiplayer games were all about using a bot of sorts - basically you used a robot to work some resources, and then battled in markets over that resource. I don't remember the name.

It would be cool to be able to select deep space points and put autonomous drones there to mine and whatever else, but also fun if anybody could destroy them, or NPCs were also out to destroy them. Destruction of autonomous drones being allowed everywhere would make for some interesting game.

Not that we could expect that here, but I can imagine an MMO where autonomy in bots, agents, henchmen, etc (whatever the style permits) being built in from the start could have a challenge on its own. Just saying but not much because that's another topic entirely.

Yep, that's the one.

Funny how during the fall of NC PL stated their reasons for helping were because 'NC leaders RMT all their isk away'

Now they are the lap dogs of the RMT empire.

Irony much?

you do know what CCP is involved in RMTing everyday in the form of PLEX right?

You give them $15 they give you plex (500m)
This totals out to be about 150billion isk every week through plexes.

Yes this doesnt ADD money towards the game but it does effect the game.

When you are making real life money from isk things go to an entirely different scale. Very few people will set up bot networks in order to get an extra 20 years of play time on their accounts, but people certainly will if it means thousands of dollars in their bank account.

Huge difference between RMT through PLEX tho. RMT through plex goes into CCP's coffers, which in turn they use to "improve" Eve, while RMT along the lines of Dodger's goes towards paying for a car he can't afford.

A huge, and obvious difference if you ask me. I would rather my money go to CCP where there is a good chance the money gets plowed back into Eve, than some dude who makes poor finacial descisions, can't handle work, and is part of the cancer that could kill Eve.

XXXdeathXXX will never cascade as such, not while the leadership continues to make money. The names might change, but the same players will remain.

Now I am not accusing PL of RMT, or taking RL bribes, but the fact that is UAxDEATH has hired the best guard dogs in game to protect his empire. How the PL leadership or member base can stomach taking tainted ISK and protecting these people is beyond me, but with PL at his beck and call, his empire will not fall. Cry
