taco,the reason i mention that there is no option to choose withdraw is not for bragging(well,not exclusively anyway
)
but merely so aspiring new players can see that it is possible to profit and withdraw in this game without having depositted ever
if i was an new player and id see the pollresults which only list depo or no depo why the hell would i ever start playing this game ?
in an rce game i start to play when i see an opportunity to profit..wheter its eu or poker or stocktrading whatever
if i knew before hand i would have to depo and lose to play th egame ,id never start in the first place
Ok I guess I didn't see the benefit of showing both sides of the coin...yes, it IS good for new players to see it can happen...
but, bragging aside (that is my own little issue that I have problems dealing with) let's look at something else...when a person who isn't depositing anymore goes on here and claims they don't deposit, it may help a few decide to play, but in the end, it is all SPIN...it is muddying the waters, it is giving hope without explanation, and I think we can do better than that.
The depo vs non-depo argument is cliche and wrought with smugness and class division. It's time to stop saying one or the other. It's time for the
Golden Rules of EU:
The Rule:
If you do not play smart and careful, or if time is more valuable than money is, you will need to deposit.
The Exceptions:
1. If you deposit a lot, are smart, and get good gear CLD's or LA's, you will be able to
play for free.
2. If you don't deposit or deposit very little, are
very smart and love boredom (trade, sweat, fapping etc), with any gear, you can
play for free.
3. If you didn't deposit but started 10 years ago and were smart about not tt'ing things, or got certain rare bps, guns etc, you can
play for free.
Once you are playing for free, you can then uncover the deepest truth...the holy grail:
The Super-Golden Rule:
If you qualify for one of the above exceptions, you
should be able to
withdraw nominal amounts with continued smart play, or occasional
luck, and if you meet the 3rd exception
AND are smart too, or you meet more than one exception, then you can withdraw significant amounts.
This one doesn't apply to any of you in this thread, but lastly, the Dark Rule:
If you scam people, hack, figured out how to make amps or guns not lose tt or use bullets, or figured out numerous ways in game to exploit, you can withdraw too, because MA doesn't care to stop it, prevent it, or reverse it unless you are a chosen one.
