Why should he do the work for you? Are you incapable of doing the research?

Still play eve. Just one question for you.<br /><br />Honestly how big is the RMT empire anyways in terms of $$$$? Are there really that many people that (A) Can't afford it, (B) Can't earn enough in game , (C) Don't want to pay CCP through legal means and thus have to go to more shady methods.<br /><br />I have checked out the few sites I know that sell ISK. I have even purchased gold in other games before so I am not taking a moral approach, I am more asking from a economical approach. Are there really that many people that buy to pay people;s mortgages?<br /><br />Not a criticism , more asking how big is this underground market to begin with?<br /><br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-67461544428706920872016-07-14T21:15:15.258+02:002016-07-14T21:15:15.258+02:00did you see this? you were right https://twitter.c...did you see this? you were right https://twitter.com/NorbertBensel/status/753186429363249152Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-14358137126319370142016-07-14T10:00:15.709+02:002016-07-14T10:00:15.709+02:00As someone who's had an alt in RvB for a long ...As someone who's had an alt in RvB for a long time, they have enough great stories to tell, I can assure you. Sure, it might not be about conquering sovereignty or battles with thousands of players, but that is also not their focus.<br /><br />People playing this game purely to RMT are a minority. For most people, this is still a videogame meant to have fun. And to have fun in PvP, you need to not be horribly outnumbered. That's why people arrange fights and RvB is probably the best example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-48484104053139012722016-07-14T08:18:25.634+02:002016-07-14T08:18:25.634+02:00@Provi Miner: good for you!

A reserve (or ghetto) of true players among the monetizer sea.<br /><br />@l2pnub: it's a costume that allow to process AFK about 2x longer. So you can go to sleep or work and your character earns money.<br /><br />@Anon: following someone to a new space is stalking on its own. Also, while he tries to maintain some kind of look of neutrality, his real purpose is to link his own paid PR articles to reinforce that he did everything in EVE and I'm not to be taken seriously.<br /><br />@Last anon: in EVE there is no stories BECAUSE of shit like RvB and the monetizers who stop them from being formed. By the way they couldn't stop the story of the fall of Goons. They could only steal credit.Gevlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07072766785893313616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-30557812705548155522016-07-14T07:35:42.078+02:002016-07-14T07:35:42.078+02:00The thing in EVE is that there is no real pve, no ...The thing in EVE is that there is no real pve, no storries etc. So you need your enemy to play along so you can have fun. That is th reason why RvB exist. If you think abot it a "RvB" style Wargame is the ultimate goal in eve.

I don't take the game seriously I am not space poors nor am I space Richie Rich. I make enough to replace the stuff I lose, some fights are fun some are not. I remember fondly wiping the grid with goons and PL, I remember less fondly of being wiped from grid by both. I can remember one arranged fight, and it sucked it almost cost my friend his place in provi. Core said "no one shoot pro god we agreed" to which my friends alliance said "we didn't agree" and promptly shot at pro god. Then again we are provi so we really don't play the way most everyone else plays, we seem to play an almost different game then everyone else in null. I know that there are some like us in game but none as concentrated nor as stubborn and silly like us. Lenny offered us money, he offered us a seat at the table (with the big boys), MBC even offered us "lands". Who could refuse such an offer? Provi did instead we fought everyone when we could find them, if goons were on the field we fought with MBC if goons blue balled we fought MBC. We don't take the game seriously but we sure as hell are not padding anyones RL wallets.Provi Minernoreply@blogger.com
