So I resubbed for a month to post on the forums thread about jump changes. All the while racking up ISK though the IWANTISK gambling site referrals. I have quite a few and some of them actually play so I make around 100m every couple days, so basically I've been logging in and hitting withdraw every so often. Today  decided to ban all 5 of my accounts (4 of which are unsubbed) for 7 days due to "buying ISK."I haven't even logged in game, I've only logged in forums. How and where in the actual physical gently caress do they get their logic from??

I'm impressed and legitimately can't wait to try this out. Blowing up barges is mostly a way to troll pubbies and amuse yourself (though it can actually be pretty good practice for some of the mechanical aspects of the game as well), but the leniency in policing means you can play as an honest-to-god space pirate. When a ship dies, everything in its cargo has a 50/50 chance of surviving the destruction and remaining in its wreck where it can be looted by anybody (stealing from the wreck of someone you murdered can make you a legal target to anybody, but vigilantes are very rare). Some people don't really get what kind of game they're playing and stuff everything they've ever earned into slow, fragile transport ships which they autopilot down obvious shipping lanes. There are quite a few people who make their livings off this.

This is the kind of thing - the blowing up pubbies who think they're safe for a living - that makes me want to try EVE out. Then I remember what the game seems to actually be like to play, and I don't want to try EVE out anymore, though this thread is at least regular entertainment.

Questioning his sexuality or bringing up that he used to stalk "women" in RP channels will also, not end very well. In fact, anything you can do to rouse his anger will never actually be forgotten and he will use that against you the next time you cross whatever imaginary rule boundary he can conjure up. Always just take the Ban in stride and act as though it was just someone trying to get a rise out of you. Xolve fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Oct 9, 2014 |

On the bright side if my ban gets reversed they might give me something. Still, I have no loving idea where they get the RMT thing from. I'm space-poor 99.9% of the time.  Even with the referrals the ISK seems to vanish in to thin air whenever I get it.

If that's the case, you should probably also be holding whoever was giving you that ISK responsible, as they most likely got banned too.

Just get a loan in excess of your negative balance and then do something that earns you the money to pay it back. Or run off with the money if you didn't borrow from gsf/cfc I guess.

You can't be sent money and you can't sell stuff. You have to actually earn the isk to get you back in the black.

I thought the only reason you can't sell stuff is because you lack the funds to cover broker's fees and taxes, but there shouldn't be any barrier to just being given ISK by another character. AFAIK, the CCP-approved way of working around a negative wallet is to buy PLEX with rl money, sell them with an alt, and transfer the ISK to the negative balance main.

That's the strange thing. They've even banned my old accounts I haven't used since 2 years ago. I've never bought ISK. They did however seem to think I did buy ISK cos I scammed a gently caress-tonne ages ago (2010). They apparently said the mark has been removed, and yes it was a bitch for them to put my wallets back into the positive. So them actually reversing the negative and removing the proverbial "black mark" would make me think that they saw they were in the wrong. However, 7 day banned for current active 5 accounts, and 7 day ban for un-subbed 4 accounts never used since 2010, which only have some useless high-sec ganking alts. Judging by what jEveAssets tells me I seem to have nothing confiscated. Also, they're terribly slow to respond. At this rate they'll respond after the 7 day ban is over.

Also the fact that you randomly log in every few days, click a button, and *poof* you have more ISK. No market transactions or nothing. I'm sure that looks pretty fishy on their end.

Various jump cloning skills, going to need to add JDC V to one of the accounts because it doesnt have it, etc. Mobility enhancing skills to somewhat counteract the heaping pile of bullshit coming in a couple weeks. Infomorph Synchronizing V and Advanced Infomorph Psychology IV are two that stand out, because you are going to be jump cloning a LOT to get from A-B, or at least to be in the right neighborhood. Not gonna resub yet, still ticking on cancelled sub time, I've got 3 months left on both accounts. The other 3 were paid with either PO2 or plexed, and expired. It's  to bother loving with those as they were mainly just personal cyno characters, and a whole loving lot of good jump drives will do us post patch, huh

So one thought that I've had regarding the mobility changes for cap ships: is that it's going to be nearly impossible to actually take a region of space from someone who already has supercapital presence there because... you can't get your own supercapital fleet there to actually duke it out with them.  Am I missing something, or is null about to get even more stagnant than it already is?

The idea is if you are fighting a very large empire, you hit where their supercaps aren't. Today, that is impossible, since supercaps can cross the galaxy very quickly. Post-Phoebe, it isn't.

You've pretty much hit it on the head, supercaps are going to be functionally useless, however IIRC Phoebe will also roll sov structure HP changes, which should theoretically reduce the need for Supercaps Online™

GW was where EVE Uni pvp'ers went to experience null  . When I first started playing, I would roam there or Syndicate. GW was almost always dead outside a few systems. People used it to rep their sec status to engage in more lowsec PVP.So, are the jump changes going in exactly as proposed or have the CSM, players, moderated those in any way?

Some time ago someone mentioned that CCP had introduced tackling frigates to the FW missions, meaning that you can't burn through easily with a bomber anymore. Is that true? Has anyone worked out a way to keep using bombers to run these missions, maybe an extreme-range fit? I noticed that Amarr seems to have rebounded to T3, and was thinking or re-upping my FW account to make some money on it, but only if the bomber-thing still works.

I noticed that Amarr seems to have rebounded to T3, and was thinking or re-upping my FW account to make some money on it, but only if the bomber-thing still works. This was me actually that noted this. I lost multiple Manticores to Gallente FW mission before finally going "gently caress this" and unsubbing the alt account. I had pretty good skills on my bomber. T2 torps, AWU IV, max shield skills, level 4 missile support skills, etc. I felt it was almost near the tippy-top of what you could do with a bomber alt. The fit I used was the same fit as in the OP of the FW Boogaloo thread or whatever. The problem with Gallente FW missions is the jamming rats. Even at 80-90 km range with an ECCM II fit, the rats would still successfully jam me and shut off my DPS juuuuust long enough for the tackling frigates to close onto me. Once you get tackled, you're basically hosed since you can't escape them fast enough to escape all the incoming DPS. I lost maybe three Manticores this way before giving up and decided it was no longer worth the effort. What I imagine you could try is some kind of cap-stable MWD fit that allows you to race the tackling frigates and slowly plink them down with torpedoes (heh.) While this would in theory work, in practice it would be extremely slow-going and soul-crushing (at least for me.)
