also like, things i knew for sure elusif did for money:

market fuckery of faction modules
skillgoo farming
multiboxing abyssals

while obviously in retrospect he did a bunch of those with bots, they're all...things that people can do legitimately as well

this is late but elusif was legit running a skill farm, i sold him a lotta skill extractors this time last year, like 45bn worth
at the time he was unloading quite a few LSIs onto the market, like a bigger stack than anyone else had up, all in one order. i remember talking about it on the gooseflock discord bc it made me back out of LSI trading at the time, since he had such a huge supply advantage competing would waste my time and gently caress up his bag

i know elusif's history but fwiw within gooseflock at least publicly (I never had any access beyond basic member stuff ) elusif didn't ever mention botting, i didn't know he was still & had assumed he hadn't since he'd already gotten in trouble back in the day

he talked about playing very often and someone who didn't know his history wouldn't have had any reason to suspect he was doing anything or think any wealth he had wasn't from legit sources - he was always making bank from legitimate sources in large quantities & understand the eve markets extremely well and is undeniably good at generating wealth in eve without botting. it's a shame he did that, and that this happened

but more importantly he wasn't funding gooseflock. like he didn't fund it at all initially afaik, solo n i threw the starting cash in (i put in 53bn iirc, solo funded it more extensively & hands on) and as far as I can see it was self-sustaining after that, 300bn for a 500 member wh corp starting it with at least 1/3 that in pure funding before including any member assets, that practices any degree of collectivization or tax is nothing. there's 30 person corps out in wh space worth about that much in their pods. you can make 2bn an hour triple boxing poo poo in marauders in wh space lol it's a money flood. i haven't looked way into this situation but so far i dont see where the evidence for any outrage on that end is, it literally was one guy botting on his own.

I know for a fact that imperium had, and still has, and tolerates botting with an unspoken "DO NOT MENTION IT, DO NOT REPORT IT" rule and has its own little botting sub-community lol

re: solo funding geese, the dude bought so much compressed veldspar from jita at the start just to see what would happen that the price of trit increased noticeably for a few months. he also had so much compressed veldspar he set up a whole logistics chain to pay individual geese per m3 to haul it to our C2 and put it up on the market for 0.01 isk per unit. he probably paid out close to 100b from that alone.

we've still got several tens of billions of units of trit from that.

I had a hearty lmao that someone would trust elusif implicitly, but a lot of the people who are coming in here to make weird jabs at dragonshardz are really loving irritating. The reason I don't go back to eve aside from the fact that I hate the UI and its a dying game, is that the playerbase contains some of the most virulent homophobes and misogynists in existence. I can't tolerate that kind of bullshit and I hope that any mod reading the thread swiftly sends motherfuckers who are posting on the edge straight to the lepers colony, hopefully permanently. gently caress em, and we really don't need them here thanks for the :10bux:

No, you don't got to give them the benefit of the doubt if the argument sounds like it might be misogyny.

and yet one of the members of the CSM whose sole reason for being there is purely on the economy side of the game says that isn't possible without RMT botting. I think, and this may be a controversial opinion, that Angry Mustache might be a loving idiot

he seems like the kind of fuckwaffle who has a penchant for VBA macros and vlookups that makes him indispensable to GSF because nobody else wants to spend 3000 hours learning about the intricacies of excel so they keep him around

IMHO in retrospect the first mistake was implicitly trusting without verifying or investigating, the second mistake was being flippant about it in a corp discord channel, and the third mistake was forgetting we have enemies and running a CSM candidate without being braced for backlash, but that's definitely the fourth or fifth mistake, for sure.



I'm not trying to throw shade on d'ceet, dragonshardz, or anybody else, just trying to do a bit of reflection and learning heh
