EVE General Discussion

Why has this thread switched to talking about the multi-dollar media empire?

Oh hang on....apparently it hasn't. OK, RMT away Emporium.

"I gave my opinion that literally no one agrees with, so it's obviously an undeniable fact"

You should be a US politician Lucas. You'd go far.

So this is just a straight double standards thing from you then?

You post evidence of IWI RMT. You seem to be against them for it with no evidence.

What individual bankers have been banned for is no different to what a number of individual goons have also been banned for. Individual actions don't equate to systemic processes, unless you apply that same standard to both organisations.

I'm not a proficient forum warrior. Is there any way to hide replies quoting someone whose posts I've hidden? Once the lolfactor wears out it's getting old. Please advice.

Actually it wasn't the disagreement, it was that you were disagreeing with points I'd never made. This was also something explained to you which is again something you seem not to have read.

You could stop reading the thread, or just read the name before you read the post.

If they had been RMTing, they would have been banned. That's the concrete evidence that is available.

That hasn't happened. Plain, simple, verifiable, objective.

The only hurt blurf that gets dismissed here is the rubbish you post.

I'm not grrr gons. I quite like them. I also like having fun, so it's just playing the game. But overall, I admire what gons have done in the past. Not so much lately.

The only thing I dislike is the tears and whining now occurring because you've lost. You're happy when it's just gons dominating, when it's just gons doxxing, when it's just gons controlling the narrative of the metagame.

But crying and whining incessantly because you are losing is pathetic and worth making lots of fun of, especially as you're incapable of not responding.

Sorry if I hit a nerve. Just admit everyone has shown how absurd you are already.

Come on, this is just sad.

Lucas, if you have any evidence regarding wrong doing by IWI then present it to CCP.

They will consider it and reach a decision which we all need to accept.

Right now you just come across a sad, whinging loser on the wrong side of World War Bee.

Perhaps you are persisting with this hopeless cause to say on the right side of the increasingly paranoid mittens?

I haven't read the entire thread to be honest, but i'm wondering what point you're trying to make. IWI's isk is funding 2 alliances, not all the 20+ in the MBC. The CFC has roughly the same amount of ISK as the entire MBC combined, but the people who control it don't feel like spending it. IWI was a catalyst to get events rolling, nothing more - If you think that IWI is the only thing that keeps the conflict going, i guess (ex) CFC line members have been brainwashed more than i thought.

Any discussion about IWI has no relevance whatsoever on 'providing an advantage', as they provide very little of it if at all. ISK alone doesn't set up logistics chains, manufacturing locations, FC's, fleet members or even competence. If you believe that just having ISK provides any advantage whatsoever, look at CFC: All that isk, and they still have less space than a newbie alliance.

Which i think is rather ironic and amusing.

I don;t think the Imperium have anywhere close to the ongoing ISK coming in from IWI. And I don't think IWI stopping will stop the war, I don;t even think the funding of the war was a bad thing, it's very good and has created a huge amount of content. The problem I have is that a third party application is still being used to allow an enormous amount of income that would not be possible without it. Having anyone able to source that level of income using a method that can't be countered by in-game mechanics is a bad thing.

Not to mention that IWI is almost guaranteed to be involved in RMT, which is now pretty much confirmed by CCP.

Take ISBoxer or bots as examples. Those too allowed the collection of isk at a greater rate, and didn' set up logistics chains, manufacturing locations, FC's, fleet members or even competence. Yet they are deemed to be an unfair advantage because a normal player playing the game as it is would have no hope of competing with them. Just like no player using normal gameplay mechanics has any hope of competing with IWI.

Except of course that I haven't. I specifically mentioned multiple other applications, I've answered your questions on them and explained exactly why I feel some are bigger problems than others. That's not ignoring them. If you choose to not bother reading that, your incredible failure to make a reasonable counterargument is entirely on you.
