and the other 1% wouldnt have come in the first place
This is true, the only reason I came was because I needed a new challenge, after becoming one of the top merchants in a major MMORPG that uses generated cash there is not much else to do but keep on acquiring more generated gp, I wanted to see if I can use what I learnt in my 25 years of playing market games to break even here and eventually profit.
I admit I may have been niave about the potential just like everyone else I guess, and have butted heads with many here about Mindarks wild claims, fairytale/fantastical exchange rates and downright over-hyping (see non-existant gold cashcard that they
still advertise on the main page of site) but it was the legal RWE element that originally brought me here.
I may not be the most successful player in the game with riches beyond counting but for someone who has deposited about £50 and still has that in game wealth as well as all the skills I have managed to pick up along the way and all the higher quality BPs and various toys I dont think I am doing too badly at all.
I never thought I would be able to make £1000+ per week and that would be just plain stoopid, but I am holding my own and plan to keep on doing that until so long as Entropia exists.
What you have to do is set yourself a goal, when I first arrived I got a handle on the entire game economy as a priority, learning what makes it all tick and now know the general mark-ups of pretty much everything in the game at a glance, if something is entering the final moments of an auction then I know instantly whether to bid on it and if I stand to make a few pec, this is what funds my ongoing play as well as it does for everyone.
Of course I make the occasional mistake, not least the whole QR system for blueprints made me lose a whole load of ped...as well as all the other little things I have collected along the way I think will rise in the future.
However,
YOU have to make that choice to treat EU either as a game or a serious lesson in economics, simply put...if you dont have a clue of prices or monetary value you will lose.
This is where the challenge comes in, in a game with generated cash that you simply get handed for nothing there is no challenge, you can basically pay any wild price without much consequence, here if you do that you may get in real trouble.
Once you deposit some cash, think of it as gone unless you have a very real plan to do something with it.
Guys, am I the only one who noticed this is the same guy that made that joke thread about offering guard services to noobs from PA to sweat camp for 5 PEDs with an opalo?
This is just another joke thread meant to cause polemics and farm EFDs...
That may be so, but doesnt everyone have the right to spam these boards with useless topics as well as anyone else and devalue the EDF system?
