After the 50 mark for games played without having any new stuff, you will desperately seek to try out the lasers, scrambler rifle and others. It is natural, you will get sick of grinding for a pointless reason, heck you will probably even lose most of the dropsuits by the time you get back up. And that will take absolutely ages, see you in 6 months when you're back on the level.
I'm sorry that I understand how this game works better than you :p The fact that you suggest splintering off to try new playstyles is proof that you don't grasp what it takes to stay competitive. Don't threaten me with the whole self-compliment thing. I've been here since the beginning of the closed beta and I've been on EVE for almost 6 years, I know how stuff works, and you WILL get bored. For me, an odd 4 months of the same old AR made me as bored as heck, and for me even just a single month of the Harbinger made me want to get a Battleship.
It is quite possible that he will be fine with it. I had played the same style for a few months and wasnt bored.
Not because something doesnt work for you that it wont work for other people. Stop being so self-centered.

Dude. I've been playing for a year. I have played every single play style (except LRs and the new weapons), fairly extensively at that. Trust me bro. I have NO desire to do anything other than slaughter noobs anymore. I AM proud of it, I made my decision fully aware of the consequences, just because most couldn't easily pull themselves out of the pit doesn't mean I can't. ^_^ So wait, were you misinformed by a poorly worded email, and thought that the extra ISK was legit (as you previously claimed), or did you KNOW it was an error all along, and knowingly took advantage of the situation, fully aware of the consequences, like you're claiming now? Either way, I'd say that your actions in this situation are nothing to be proud of. If you're fully specced into one role, why not? It's like a loan from CCP. I like that it'll be a couple months before I even consider looking at the marketplace.
Does this not seem just a little unfair to the honest and/or new players who DIDN'T exploit the situation? It's bad enough that the Beta vets didn't get reset at launch, providing them an immediate advantage over the influx of new players, but now many of these same vets have stockpiled a ton of the best gear, essentially removing any short-term risk for using that same gear, further compounding that advantage!
How can noobs expect to survive and compete against more experienced players who now have a seemingly endless supply of the best gear money can buy?
Maybe the rest of us should submit a ticket to CCP Support, and ask for a 100 million ISK advance on our next three months of gaming?
Apparently the Bank of Dust is now giving out interest-free loans! No job? No credit? NO PROBLEM!  |

You're just full of excuses, aren't you?
"It was a misleading email! No, I knew it was an error all along and spent the money anyway! No, it's compensation for Dropships (but, apparently, only given to certain, randomly chosen people)! Yeah, that's it!"
Just admit that you saw an opportunity to scam the system, and took advantage of it.
If nothing else, at least I could respect your honesty, then. |

It was a misleading email. When you say ALL ISK will be refunded, one tends to think that ALL ISK will be refunded, especially when you sign on to see that ALL your ISK was refunded
I didn't know it was an error all along, I just know how CCP operates, and prepared for the worst
It is compensation for Dropships, as indicated by the email that says ALL my ISK will be refunded.
Questions? |

You saw an opportunity to scam the system, took advantage of it, and now you're making excuses to justify your behaviour.

So will those with negative balance want to reverse those purchase, or just keep gear and remove negative balance is the real question. |

How is it "taking advantage" ?
You know what happens if CCP decides to set me back to 30 million ISK?
I stomp noobs and restock fits
You know what happens if they don't?

What, that the email I received said all ISK would be refunded, right after they removed assets and refunded ISK, and then I was returned to my initial amount of ISK (130 Million, lol fail ships) It doesn't matter to me, this game is in a hilariously bad state right now, it's just plain boring. I couldn't care less, I'm just calling out CCP's complete lack of transparency and inability to properly word an email, is all. I bought 500 of my basic, advanced, and prototype suits knowing full well that CCP wouldn't keep their word. As I said, even at -100 million ISK I'm far better off than at least 70% of this games population, and I'll earn that back in a quarter of the time it takes most to earn half that
lol. I feel ya, man. CCP includes the fine print just because. They ignore it or change whenever it is convenient. If you're new you might believe CCP is on your side. If you've been around for a year like some of us, you'll more likely believe this is par for the course. Once this is behind us CCP will break something else and then do whatevr they want without any real regard for the players, or by listening to whichever group QQ's the loudest.
Wow. I used to be such a fanboy. I'd laugh, but I'm just too sad.

I didnt get burned by this because i understand that the forums are mandatory. But my roommate vag eye lenol hes an idiot. He asked people in game and got incorrect info. Should have seen his reaction when i told him the money was being taken back. My other roommate captwright who is only a casual player heard us talkin bout this and asked if ccp sent a out a ingame mail. Can you believe that idiot expecting the info about the game to be in the game. What a piece of ****. At least no one changed their spending habits to much. |

Follow up question
How do you feel knowing others like myself werent dumb enough to go throwing a bunch of isk around still have bank accounts in the positive while you have to dig out of the negatives?
Here is how i imagine a majority of the population plays. They play for maybe 12hours a week. They unlikely have any ingame friends or go to any of the chat channels. They use fail fits and one they got on an saw extra ISK. They probably thought it was a gift or something. A minority of the gaming population uses the forums. I imagine a small one too. We have like 5k players in game at any moment how many names do you see as regulars posting on the forums 40? How many people have you seen since your time on the forums ? Hundreds ? |

Rannici wrote:so. i got 400 million bonus isk yesterday.
i checked the forums, i asked some people.
there was no relevant explanation for it.
bank error in my favor? yes please.
so i spent a large portion of it. long before ccp issued a message saying 'whoops, my bad, we're stupid, please don't spend that isk we gave you'.
this is so unfathomably irresponsible and dumb on ccp's part.
the fact that anyone is negative right now is a testament to the failure and incompetence of their developers.
The same thing happens in real life sometimes. If a million dollars shows up in your bank account without explanation, I would strongly advise you not to spend it until you figure out where it came from. |
