Are you doing this on purpose or something now? I made my argument crystal clear and you are just misinterpreting every single thing I say or responding to things I haven’t even said.
I get it, you studied a bit of economics and want to show off about it, but it’s irrelevant. AFK cloaking is free for all intents and purposes, because players do it with accounts they are not using for anything else. Players don’t sacrifice ISK to AFK cloak, that’s the reality, that’s all that matters, deal with it.
And the inescapable reality is you are demonstrably wrong. You have said nothing to indicate the opportunity cost argument is wrong. Just a the ore one mines is not “free”; AFK cloaking is not “free” either. This line of nonsense is just that, nonsense.
…and to that I say, “who cares?”, because the reality is nobody who AFK cloaks loses anything, it doesn’t take long to fly to a system, and the account was not being used beforehand.
You can be 100% right but so what, that’s always been my point, so what.
Wouldn’t mind seeing those if they’re not too incomprehensible for an uneducated layman… but is it clear from the data the “payment” isn’t just deferred?
i.e. continued exploitation of one section of a population eventually leading to a future “cost” in riots.
Or, perhaps a hidden opportunity cost elsewhere in the system.
Can I interest any glaziers out there in my window breaking services?
You could even say that using 25 Omega accounts (have to be paid account to have the cloaking skill) is good for the game - after all, that’s 25 accounts worth of revenue for CCP to keep the hamsters fed…
If you think (that if you did have those standings available to you) you’d have a regular desire to use them (& were willing to pay enough) I’d be more than happy to grind them out & provide a 3rd party service… pretty sure I’m half way there anyway
There’s a channel for that. Last time i’ve checked, the price per request was five million isk. So you’d do yourself good, offering the service in your bio and talking in local a lot. For less, of course.
You can open a chatroom and link it in your bio. I don’t know how to link to a chatroom, though; you’d have to look that one up.
I’d certainly, as i have always, would prefer dealing with friends, than with strangers… so i guess you’d be the one i’d call. are you planning on doing mercwork, or are you just krabbing?
I do have the balls to drop them. It’s just that you won’t have the balls to undock with a neutral in local and thus I won’t have any reason to drop them and thus can’t lose them in the first place.
But if some magic happens and I get successfully baited by your corpies (very unlikely and nigh impossible if they’re even remotely like you), well, at least I’m going to have some fun and a good laugh about falling for it.
I always have the best laughs after doing something stupid and losing a ship because of it.
