So, I hate the direction eve is going and am gonna quit. The question is what I do with my isk. No, I won't give them to you. But in the true eve spirit, I want to go out in style -- by screwing over as many people as possible. Terrorizing innocent bears is all well and good, but I'd like to see something more grand.

Anyone have suggestions? 40 billion isk budget, and all the time in the world. And if I get a nice idea, I'll toss you a bil or two as a thankyou.

P.S. No, I won't give you my stuff.

Horde PLEX and unsub.

The effect won't be apparent, but it's the most effective thing you could do in the grand scheme of things.

Beyond that, 40BIL is unfortunately a drop in the bucket in a sense, so any actual ship or market related shenanigans you get into would not be nearly as grand as you seem to want them to be, though they would nonetheless likely be extremely entertaining.

Suggestions include:

Smartbombing battleships along major trade routes, like the old days.
Pay as many rookies as you can to join an alliance with some silly name, then promote an executor, and see how long your legacy lives on.

Edit: I'm sure I'll think of more but... some of it would be rather outlandish.

...clearly the Ishukone Watch Scorpion is the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse, i.e. the Brown Rider, otherwise known as Poopie.

Try buying an important resource off the market for a couple of days and see how the prices explode (:

Hire people to smartbomb Jita.

Join the Goons in Ganking as many Macks as you can. But instead of using cheap gank ships, use pimped out ships to gank.

Also, might want to reconsider quitting due to direction after the latest two dev blogs. Just saying...

You may not have seen the new blogs today... Eve's going back to focusing on spaceships. You may want to check those out and reconsider.

However, if you truly want to go out in a blaze of glory, leaving an indelible mark in the history of the game... take out the Veldnaught. It would make me horribly sad to see it happen, but you'd leave in infamy.

Six months in the hole... it changes a man.

Buy T2 BPO's and destroy them? Something I've always wanted to do (for the hell of it, I don't build stuff)

Or

Hire a bunch of merc corps and have them fight each other.

1- Type "Cozmik R5" without quotes in-game
2- Highlight text
3- right-click, select "Character"
4- press enter to see Cozmik R5 in orange in your chat window
5- right-click, select "Give money"
6- ...
7- PROFIT !!!

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

To take it one step further:

40 Billion ISK to the person who lands the killing blow on the Veldnaught...

edit: And use Chribba to hold the isk in escrow...

Do something noble.

Fill a hauler with all the drones you can possibly buy off the market. Fly them out to the drone regions and release them back into their natural habitat.


Do something silly.

Fill a freighter with goodies. Hire some friends/locals/mercs to guard it as you fly it the short route from Jita to Rens. If it makes it, reward the guards. If not, well someone got rewarded :)


I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

buy all the Empire tags you can and then trash it all . After that , buy all faction mods and trash them all too .

It's not obvious , but that would create a shortage of a lot of popular factions mods , as screwing over a lot of L4 grinders (who are not all bear , it would also impact the one who are using an alt to fund themselves) .

buy a titan character, join an alliance that will let you hold a super carrier / titan. and than blow it up or get it blown up. the more times you can successfully do this without getting caught the better EVE is.

Something clever

Spend the next few weeks speculating on the Oxygen Isotopes market, since Goons are actively promoting Economic PVP there (killing the Ice Miner Bots that are the backbone of EVE's economy).

40 billion would absolutely destroy that market, and given that Goons are cutting off supply at the knees, it would take weeks or months to recover.

Without Oxytopes, there's a rather significant part of EVE's crafting system et all that grinds to an absolute halt.

Dude, just have fun. I actually think I'm better off than you are with your 40bil isk and my 4mil isk (new) because i"m having a hell ton of fun. I think alot of ideas above are pretty good and will net you a couple chuckles, but just pick what you think you'll enjoy and run with it.

P.S. If for some reason you choose my post to be the lucky winner don't give me anything more than a bs worth of isk, I don't play the game on handouts.
