Market Discussions

Start by getting rid of petty tyrants who think they know what's best for everyone else.

I always thought MD was where economics went to die. Sort of an elephant graveyard for the industrialists and their latest and greatest ideas.

MD is where people use and talk about internet spaceship money to boost up their ego.

There is an occasional good post in MD with useful information.

So easy to write off someone who is pretty new to the game is interesting. Like I said before, read back through the MD forums, like a few years (I know you posting on you're one year old toon gets you a lot of rep) and see how it was and still very much is.

I respect you asking for the knowledge and views of the MD "peers/lurkers" as you call them, but I still fail to see what you are truly asking for, as in the end, this is the MD. People will come here asking for advice that are much too lazy to use google (and 99.9% of the people actually making ISK on the markets won't share more than "here are the skills you need, do you're own research"). Others will come asking for investments, 95% of which will be written off as scams, 4% invested in and end up being scams and the lucky 1% who are actually legit will either be troll'd to death, stick through the trolls and scam or end up being decent players who want to make a bit and need the capital to start.

All I said from my initial post is, why if you do not enjoy what goes on here do you keep coming back? I wasn't trying to troll you or cause any trouble, I just asked a question. Yea the MD may be stale, lacking content and overall a nesting pool for scammers and troll's but again, that is what the MD is isn't it?

Edits as I awaited a response.

Anyways, as to you're original question. I know there have been and still are a lot of ideas floating around the MD (google is a good start).

Let's create a channel for everyone in the MD forums to join, lets call it MD Local. Anyone and everyone can join. Moderators will be assigned to people who frequent the channel, don't spam/cause trouble and offer advice to anyone interested in what is going on in the MD. Hell lets open a TS3, share skype info or even login to the in-game voice chat and have some conversations. Anyone who has bulk sales (yes there are channels for this but what the hell, many are ready to play some isk-war games), budding traders(will clear up the "I want to station trade any tips?" threads), investors (I have lots of ISK, do you have collateral and a decent plan in mind) and any others who are interested in the vast market world.

As the ask question's thread at the top of the MD isn't used, well ever, why not start a new thread. Something that new players who clearly skip the sticky to ask questions ignore but find after searching through the first 3 pages of the forums to ask questions. With all the well respected players around I am sure someone can come up with sound advice. Make some rules for it, no asking what to start out trading where to trade (as this should be in the initial post) ect.

These may as well be farts in the wind but I have had a few beers since the start of this thread. I will attempt to articulate some more as I see fit, otherwise I await you're response.

Edit: I think I will use that as my signature, how do you edit signat....wait google ty.

Your are premature.I will list only 2examples because I've been here since old md.
1.I come here when i want to find a fast loan with collateral.
2. I made crapload of cash because people were speculating on md about how npc will make you huge % if you invest in it before PI was ingame.For someone who doesn't read patch notes threads like that are priceless.

..I figured that with your pedigree in the markets of Eve, you would have something worthwhile to post. Strange.

CCP has somewhat arbitrarily carved up a game into what they think are relevant forum subtopics. Therefore, it is our duty to make some ill-defined "thing" from nothing in one of said subforums, as opposed to just posting what we like within the overall forum rules.

This is one of the most painful threads I have ever seen on this entire forum, and that is a tremendous feat.

Pod yourself, ingame.

Have a look at general discussion , then visit CAOD and on the way there go by crime and punishment.


Now enlighten me why MD forum would be SO much different ?
