Reported again.
You just cant help yourself, can you.
Its sad. Id have no problem discussing topic/OP of thread with you, but this is what you resort to instead.
You are the one deraling by posting inappropriately, taking discussion off the topic and wasting moderator time. Its a mystery to me, that you cant/wont see that.
Responding to a dishonest thesis is fundamentally flawed. There is nothing such a post can do to move the conversation forward. You accuse literally every single person in this thread of “derailing it” which you’ve just edited your post to hide (hmm, dishonest much?), so good on you. This thread is derailed when you defined “derailed” as “disagrees with Salvos.” Well, topic of this thread isn’t “salvos is right about everything” so, guess what, you derailed it long ago. And keep spamming flags. Moderators love that, I promise.
From your own posts, you obviously hadn’t read anything that came before, so no, you’re the one who derailed it and made it all about you. Thread has been broken for about 30 posts now. Should just be locked already.
I like how you (and a couple other people out there on these forums) automatically accuse anyone who disagrees with you as being EULA breakers. Last resort of a failure in argument.
Ok, I’ll address your actual theses. Making insane conspiracy theories based on broken analysis and then “prove me wrong!” is ridiculous. That’s the point of conspiracy theories. You claim “these things that there is literally zero evidence of ever having happened even once must happen all the time on a broad enough scale to modify the economy itself.” It’s laughable. It’s laughable that you assume your post actually merits a response. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but that doesn’t make those opinions even the slightest bit worthwhile. You broke the thread. You break every thread.
That would be a horrible idea. Suppose you were selling PLEX through a sell order, and a botter bought it? You have no way of knowing if the ISK you received is legit or not. Is CCP going to go back and refund your PLEX? What if you spent that ISK…does your character go negative ISK?
Horse crap.
You’ve spent the last 5+ posts attacking me, not my ontopic arguments.
That puts you in violation of forum rules, and beneath contempt.
And here you are, again, whining about me, and not on-topic.
Wtf is wrong with you.
You will never beat me with this crap, and will always fail when you continue breaking forum rules in an attempt to do so, in this way.
Address the topic and what has been said about it, not the person behind it.
How can you still not realize that.
And yes, reported, again.
You need a break to reconsider your behavior here.
what’s funny about that, is I did. You just chose to omit that from your quotes. Quotes you used dishonestly. You accused me of being an RMTer. Now you’re trying to walk it back and pretend you did otherwise.
And that’s how you ruin every single thread you post in. You may technically, mostly, stay within the rules, but you kill a conversation worse than any off-topic rants.
If every single idea needs to be refuted individually, at what point does it just become more rational to denounce the source of those ideas?
You didnt. I read it. It was random waffle about conspiracy theories and no actual rebutal to any issue/point made in this thread by me or anyone else.
Considering how you avoid the topic, in preference of personal attacks, yes, I increasingly think you have nothing except ulterior motive to destroy a thread on the topic.
I posted ontopic, till you showed up and started attacking me as a person, and not my arguments. I have stayed within the rules. You have not.
This is a stupid statement.
Ofc every single point needs to be addressed individually.
How the ■■■■ do you not know that. Its implicit in basic debate format.
Where the hell did you get it into your head that is you cant refute/rebut a point, that you should attack the person that made it?
Seriously. Wtf. Walk away and stop derailing the thread with inappropriate attacks on person, rather than addressing the issue at hand in the thread.
Most of the time, I just don’t like your ideas. They are bad, faulty, dishonest, etc. But then you say crap like this, and I don’t like you as a person.
I was on my way out the door before posting in this thread. It’s dishonest to do a drive-by so I stuck around. But now it’s time to get on with my day.
You know, once upon a time, CCP had the cash flow and profits to not only employ an economist to sort out all these kinds of things for their player base. but also have a dev who would try to answer questions put to him on his one public thread. Can’t remember if that thread was via Twitter, or simply on the old forums.
Then the crushing weight of all the brilliant decisions by CCP management over a period of years wiped out profitability, and both of these employees were axed, and their responsibilities simply abandoned. I remember when the dev answered precisely how many supercaps were in the game. That angered the null sec cartels, and most certainly contributed to his demise.
So now, we are left to speculate and try to figure this stuff out, because no one at CCP has the resources and/or willingness to get to root of the question. Go go CCP!
It was on the forums and the two did it in their spare time, not on the clock. That’s also why they didn’t do that for very long, because it took up a lot of time writing out the dev blog in detail and engaging with the community about it and that’s the reason Quant only posts pictures. He has his python script that he lets run, it produces all the pictures for him and then he calls it a day.
Can it be players activating/deactivating their accounts? If so, it should correlate with faucets. I mean if a rich player quits, he will no longer generate ISK (which made him rich at the first place). But no, there is no correlation:
Also, if it’s players logging out, than it must have some seasonality, ergo, the results should correlate with the previous year, and they don’t:
I love Gevlon. Its like Ancient Aliens based on EVE.
[Could]the positive isk delta spikes be a result of bot sourced isk/value being transferred to inactive wallet/bank accounts (invisible in isk delta), that upon re-activation, to refinance new bot-networks to replace banned ones, and to re-stock RMT stores, causing said sudden positive active isk delta even after months of deep negative active isk delta?
I remember a big stink over that happening years ago. Back before plex. Back when players were selling ISK for real money. Some players got banned or had their wallet set to negative for simply receiving dirty ISK through market sells.
