Nope. It’s 100% accurate.
could be they can’t be bothered too look stuff up
So, stupid.
or they are not really invested in the game
People who aren’t invested don’t have that level of ISK at all.
they could be droping cash in to get isk
People who aren’t invested in a game don’t literally invest cash by RMTing. And if you RMT a bunch of ISK and lose it because you’re too stupid to learn how the game works, well, I think the label for you is obvious…
I see I see, your point is that anyone who doesn’t play the game exactly like you do is stupid. Anyone who isn’t after the same stuff you are is stupid.
Real healthy attitude you got there, best of luck with that.

No, my point is that people who make objectively bad decisions in the game for no reason but their own laziness or inability to accept how the game works are stupid, especially if/when they invest cash in RMTing their way to expensive lossmails.
It makes them bad players, does not make them stupid.
Nope, it makes them stupid. Their inability to understand basic concepts is an inherent failure of intelligence, and if they’re throwing away cash on RMTing those expensive lossmails then we can add a lack of financial understanding to their list of sins.
I’m going to side with Vixie. The lazy rich aren’t necessarily, inherently stupid.

I’m assuming that most people RMTing expensive lossmails aren’t in the real world wealth level where blowing $100 on a video game is a trivial expense, and so RMTing and losing ISK recklessly is a meaningful IRL loss.
X-FEANOR probably is.
I remember X-Fearnor happy days, wonder whats his new name.
No, to do that you find the mean of a sample, and then plot a distribution to calculate the variance.
The result you’ll get will be a textbook example of probability theory; with values close to the mean making up the bulk of the sample. This will put code’s average kill value somewhere in the 150-175 million ISK range (their historic value is 260 million ISK, but over the past few years, the values of all kills have trended down considerably, not just for CODE., but for everyone, likely due to material raw resource inflation).
Your claim that the outliers (Venture and 30-billion-ISK kills) drive the average value, while mathematically sound, is actually impossible in practice, because both groups are actually rare. Most players outgrow Ventures, and most players can’t afford 30-billion-ISK ships. Most players use fairly regular stuff, like T1/T2 barges for mining, or affordably-fit T1/faction battleships for missions.
That’s called being ignorant, and being ignorant is even worse that being stupid. At least stupid can be fixed.
that was just hypothetical example to make a point, not a claim.
note that I mentioned a transport so that 30 bill would mean ship plus cargo. If you gonna insult me at least do it right.
to be fair i personally am dragging down the Code average by popping shuttles /rookie ships to get at the juicy pod goo inside, which for many years has been mostly empty. i suggest if you removed my kills from the CODE kills i would expect the average isk per kill to jump up massively. And i do mean a massive jump as i have killed a lot

You’re gonna have to start being really explicit and concrete in your writing, then. Absent of anything else, I go by what I see, and you said…
…which is a really dishonest way to make an argument because you’re cherry-picking the data.
think it’s the other way around, you can fix ignorance with learning, stupid is incapable of learning therefor unfixable
really? it’s not obvious from that text it is an example?
i have a policy for some time , i DON’T shoot rookie ships ,shuttles and ventures
the dude can stop in front of me, ill not shoot him
tired of loosing standing for shooting dam noobs
