So I Wonder, this goes for all of you not running proto in pub games, and indeed the mass of players getting butthurt of Our general use of it. If I now keep using my 41K fit, making a profit in every game, + keep ringing in PC making even more ISK. What the hell am I supposed to use all this isk for?

For the wast majority of the playerbase, using a cheap fit like this or indeed even cheaper, what do you do With Your isk? Or is it some sort of point to gathering and keeping billions? I don't get it.

And no, I can't "use it for PC" since PC is were I earn my isk and pubgames is were I've so far burnt it away by playing in a stupid manner in a 235K isk logi suit.

What the hell am I supposed to use all my isk for?

Best Idea gets a 10 M "thank you".

You have the money to run prototype class gear and you chose to run lower tier gear. I just don't understand you. Maybe its because I am poor. If I had your isk I would run prototype gear forever.

But depending on how much ISK you actually have saved up i got BPO's for sale for stupid high price that generally only people with stupid high amounts of ISK can afford and will most likely never use because they can still afford to run proto but keep the BPO's as a rare collectible. <-- One of the quickest way to burn your ISK in this game i guarantee it.

Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens League of Infamy 592	Posted - 2014.02.20 09:33:00 - [15] - Quote If you are going to have a surplus and know that you won't need a huge amount soon (risky proposition), I would find a reliable money changing service and try out EVE. The ratio is generally very favorable for DUST mercs as money is slower to make. Start up an account and try it out with some extra cash. If you really have that much extra DUST isk, see if you can trade it in for PLEX (30 days of game time that you can buy from CCP with real money or buy from a player for isk) and play for free. If this whole market integration thing happens, you will probably at least want to see what EVE is like considering they will be supplying your toys. I know that I am keeping my manufacturing alt active because if something I want isn't readily available or is ridiculously expensive, I know that I will always have a supply of it. Even if you don't do that, still try out EVE. You can get 2 weeks free or 3 weeks free if you use someone's referral link, and people will generally pay you 10 million to use their link.

KingBabar The Rainbow Effect Negative-Feedback 1908	Posted - 2014.02.20 09:55:00 - [18] - Quote I said good suggestions. Why would I like to play EVE? If I have trouble sleeping I will put on some old black and white documentary. I've been in EVE With a friends account and everything was so slow and borng, even the fights were slow and boring. I tried to ask him, "Who the best pilote in his corp was", and he said that this dude had the best ship. Yes thats fine but who's the best pilote? Who has the best aim and Control of his ship? Then he said that this dude had a sort of tracking thingy on his ship and I startd to realise that EVE isn't affected by player skill at all. Yes the co-ordination of a large fleet, ship fitting and such but when it comes Down to an actual engagement the numbers rule. In Dust you can easily take out a proto suit With a starter fit if you get the drop and knows how to aim, I've died countless times due to a militia ARs in the back. In EVE, a starter ship vs a bigger ship of an experienced player is a sure loss. You can't use Your player skill to outmanouver or outgunn a superior ship so the entire game IMO loses its fun factor. And I'm not gonna swith from being a Assault/support player to be a vehicle player just to burn through my isk, if I actually wanted to fly I would. And using stupid fittings like plasma cannon on a protosuit so that I will die more and become useles to my team is not gonna happen. I play to win the games I play and the difference between a 40 K isk ebhanced suit and a 240 K isk proto suit is negligeable at best. And no, I'm not gonna keep saving isk on the off chance that this game might get good in the future. As I see it, I have enough isk to run full protosuits for the rest of my Dust career. So, am I to conclude that protostomping is the only viable way to lose isk in this game? And a question? How is it possible for so many players to go "broke"? I see it in local chat and on these forums, "I need isk, I'm soo poor". I mean, you can fit a 35-40 K suit thats almost as good as a 200 + K isk suit and then you should always make a profit, if not every game, at least every day of playing. I don't get it.

Firstly, they would need to give you something..so it would be a trust game. Say give me some isk and I will double it. Say they give you 1isk..give them 50k isk..its one click, say to them it was easier that way but you are serious youre talking millions.. and then if they give you 1m+ then give them your start money wether that be 100m, 200m etc. try it, EVE/DUST full of scammers, but if some corp falls for it..then you can say be careful etc. Be the Peoples Champ- no homo Public Relations WJR Its a leopleuradon Charlie a magical leoplueradon, its gunna guide our way to candy mountain!

Grenade suicide in front of your enemies with proto grenades to really give them 'the bird' Everyone was quitting Everquest when DAoC, Star Wars Galaxy, and Everquest II came out. Everyone was quitting World of Warcraft when Aion, Age of Conan, Guild Wars 2, DC Universe Online, Rift, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Warhammer Online, etc. People like to say "I am leaving X when Y comes out" but it generally does not happen. Their friends are still in X and they are familiar with it. EVE is completely different than anything else on the market; Economy MMO Simulator. I don't see Star Citizen going that route.
