Margin trading is an awesome skill. It allows traders to have more concurrent buy orders, which increases the isk sink through taxes (not much, but still) and parts fools like you with money they didn't deserve. All of that being valid uses within gameplay mechanics.
If you don't like that, then unsub, state 'ME NO LIEK SCAMERZ' as reason and be gone. No one is going to miss you.

p.s.: I'm seriously very interested what would you do if CCP was an american company? Really just tell me, pretty please :)


I'd get a job there so I could secretly funnel awesome crap to Surf \Big smile/

This is best part .

Hmm maybe you could write to Obama to nuke Iceland. I think there is proper reason "making US people look dumb" .



I don't want to live in this country anymore :(


Keep with it Micheal, It seems only us Americans that have actually left the US realize that the US is awesome, but at the same time very, very disappointing. In reality I think we need a revolution.

To the rest of the world.... Please don't judge us few intelligent and worth while Americans, on the actions of the majority of dumb Americans.

I see the Margin trading scam as an example of a broken mechanic. Glad I've never fallen for it.

Just a few tips good sir.

You have to accept EvE is more or less lawless.
It is the pinnacle of the game.
Without that, there would be better games out there.

EvE isn't a next level MMO, it is completely out there.
Do not underestimate the AI, because the AI is actually a real person trying to outwit you.
This is allowed at every level upto EULA

You are not talking about kids either.
I think it is save to say the average age is around 30 / 35
This means you have a whole lot of people with some life experience and know how to manipulate.

This means, whatever you plan to do in EvE, even trading, you need to do your homework first.
Do not stop at the how to make money.
Also read about the trading PvP and how it works before doing anything.
(which also goes for every other aspect)

Not doing so, is underestimating the gameplay and its player base and WILL result in you loosing.
Also know, you will loose sometimes, whatever you do.

that said:

Try again, but this time, make sure you know all the sunny AND dark sides of what you are about to do.
Even if, you only want to focus on one particular part.
Design a strategy that will always keep YOU on top of things.

It is not just buying low, sell high.
You need to know what is the usual pricing bandwidth.
You need to know about quantities being moved and what is a reasonable amount to trade.
You need to spread out your risks.
You need to make sure you always have something to bounce back with when things go bad.

I could fill pages on how to trade and make 10s of billions a month while taking losses when needed.
You should make sure you can to, before venturing into that area.


And no, people wont tell you the contents of their special sauce
You have to cook one up

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

A bit off topic but anyone think this is an alt of the guy that was complaining about wormholes staying the same when incursions were getting nerfed? I don't remember his name but his motto was "burn everyone equally". The thread was pretty popular until it got locked, these two seem similar in sentence structure, idiocy, and general lack of command of the english language.

I think we should all complain about "stupidity" and demand it gets nerfed.

I think "stupidity" is a self-correcting problem.

As I have stated, unless someone can explain to me how the order was cancel when the player is not online, then I would believe that CCP is not involve. And if it is due to margin, then again, the mechanics was was the sole purpose of scamming. How then CCP is not involve cos they create the mechanic in the 1st place.


No not IF IT IS DUE TO MARGIN...

That's exactly what it was, and it has been around for a long time. You are not the first person to experience this but hopefully it'll be the only time you fall for it.

That is of course if you take the time to understand the mechanic and take measures to avoid having it happen to you again in the future.

It was until the invention of the warning label. Leave it to humans to muck up Darwinism.

Ok so now were getting the intellectually superior in their own minds types posting. The guy is new, he looks at the market as buy low sell high, problem is as for anyone new, he doesn't know all the skills, this is not a matter of intelligence but knowing some pretty obscure rules, so settle down geniuses.

Having said that, OP you are getting a bit paranoid there, claiming some of these "geniuses" are CCP, they are just trying to feel better about themselves based on you being new and Fing up. Also you are better off just taking your loss and not bitching about this. Take it as a lesson learned, most here have had at least one.

I know someone who ironed a shirt while he was wearing it. Got some nice burns. Warning label wouldn't have helped... he was one of the dumbest people I've ever met.

So that's why it's written on the manual you cannot iron while wearing the clothes... I have always wondered why that totally ******** warning was there.
