> [@Sha\_ri](#): > > I haven’t yet realized I’m rich because I am a new capsuleer so I am not rich I figured you’d define rich by how many hearts you collect. I mean, you have at least four of your characters in this thread alone passing them back and forth. Now go away. Mr Epeen 🕶 ---

Greetings to you, @Megazor I realized I was truly rich when king Osric gave me a jar full of diamonds to bring his daughter back. That plus the Eye of the Serpent should last me a lifetime in New Eden. But in truth, I am rich to be able to spend my time online and play a game all day when others have to toil for their dough. Truly rich indeed. ---

Exactly. I would argue that the new-player experience is something that should be protected and allowed to happen naturally. IMO, giving a new player billions of ISK is just inflating your own ego in a selfish way to destroy the experience a new player has. Its totally selfish and immortal under the guise of altruism. Disgusting and ignorant. ---

When the last time I bought PLEX it was selling at about 2.8M ISK, left the game years later to come back and its now selling 6.7M ISK. So I bought a Golem and didn’t even blink about it. ---

> [@Chad\_Frostpacker](#): > > Don’t go getting all chummy with new pilots as they don’t know how to spend their isk You witnessed all the isk I gave away. Where did I go wrorg? 😉 > [@Distaine](#): > > IMO, giving a new player billions of ISK is just inflating your own ego in a selfish way to destroy the experience a new player has. Its totally selfish and immortal under the guise of altruism. Disgusting and ignorant. Giving isk to _any_ new player who shows promise (and true, there are very few) is worth the investment IMO. I make more than I can spend. I give advice to those willing to listen, I give out isk to those “I” deem worthy after the forums have vetted them with me. I even double the payback after a kill to those who ask “how did you do that.” I was surprised as to how many did back then! I won’t even bother to insult you like you did me, but you are a player who drags down the game by not sharing knowledge and wealth to those few who stand a chance. Meh… I try to help those who are worth it, have a sense of humor and enjoy the game. I’m fuzzy now because I tried to help worthless players. Does not mean it was not worth the effort or expence. Can you say the same? 🙄 > [@Uriel\_the\_Flame](#): > > Hope you give it divided among them instead of billions per person because I personally witnessed newbros wasting big portions of the ISK gifted to them on overpriced stuff because they were too lazy to make the trip to a trade hub with better price and other such nonsense because they didn’t care anymore. 🤔 I hope the above responses answer your question. ---
