> [@Nujenif\_Talvanen](#): > > He was a noob! > How could he have known! See this thread: > [@ISD\_Athechu](#): > > Be able to afford a loss > > - Never fly something (or with something in the cargo) you canā€™t afford to lose. Yes, not even in highsec. Meaning that you should not fly a ship you cannot afford to replace and refit. Itā€™s literally rule number 1! If this was in the starter space, well that shouldnā€™t happen and CCP will/should step in an fix this and punish someone messing with newbies in the starter system. But the tutorials teach you that ships can be lost, not to mention the game was designed so that new players didnā€™t have 32B ISK in stuff to lose. If you ignore the tutorials, or RMT yourself a bunch of stuff on day 1, you kinda have to take some responsibility for your loss. There isnā€™t any way a criminal can know you are a clueless new player once you leave the starter system, so you are fair game. Exactly as the Golden Rules above spell out. ---

Thereā€™s 1500 killed Ibises in the last 7 days - without further filters thereā€™s no chance to find that kill. So as long as you donā€™t show a killmail, I consider that ā€œfake newsā€. Most expensive Ibis/Velator/Impairor/Reaper loss the last 7 days: [https://zkillboard.com/kill/87384841/](https://zkillboard.com/kill/87384841/) Bad luck, in Jita, 1b because of just one expensive booster you receive after buddy invite. But not a new player. A newbro transporting 32b is either ignorant and way too rich, or not existing. That looks like ouch: [https://zkillboard.com/character/2058664068/](https://zkillboard.com/character/2058664068/) Thatā€™s why we propagate these 8 golden rules. No noob as well, though.

this is what it is really all about PLEX, giving you access to the best ships and skills in the game, while also allowing you to sell your PLEX for millions of ISK on the in-game market which you can then spend on ships, weapons, and equipment! players should not expect to earn isk any more. (see recent changes) its all about buying and selling plex to get your isk and injectors ---

I make my EVE living by making ISK. To be fair, LP is actually an ISK sink, and a good one at that, but I have not paid a cent and am going on 2 months omega. I certainly expect to be making ISK in the future, and this game is not pay to win, or even pay to play. The amount of experience and skill needed is one of the many reasons why I like this game. ---

You could have summarized this whole write-up with the following words. ā€œstay dockedā€ This is obviously just a way for experienced players to lay claim to the entire game. This is not the point of the game. This should not be an economic money machine for CCP by doing negative intangible asset swaps at the objection of players. My response is, this way of running a sandbox simulator (note i did not say game) just leads to a fraud scam system. CCP must decide if it is a game or a sandbox. High sec is for players who pay real world money for in game assets and low sec is for players who run in sandboxes and print isk using organized racist militant culture. ---

Actually ā€¦ money goes to PA. Not CCP. They are just people workers with salaryā€¦ and replacement for old and expensive developers ā€¦ If you read tiny bit about their other game of PA: BDOā€¦ you will see vast majority of comments like : its beautifull game but too much pat to play ruining players that feeling of they keep farmed by the PA. Its corean company ā€¦ and they believe CCP share the same geneticsā€¦ one of reason they bought CCPā€¦ before that transfer i had never experienced that much inrisions to games eco system cause real life money demandā€¦ [Previous page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/8-golden-rules-for-eve-online/3973.md?page=17) [Next page](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/8-golden-rules-for-eve-online/3973.md?page=19)
