I'll edit this in weeks and months to come. Most of it has been posted several times over the years, there is unlikely to be new information here, and I dont take any credit for any of the (mis)information contained. I may even use it as a reference for myself - think slapping my face around with a wet fish. Or what keeps me going.
I'm aware that this post may stray from talking just about loot theories, ah well - c'est la vie.
If you wish, post and if I agree I'll add it (maybe not straight away - I may mull it over ).
Observations
1) Everything you lose in Entropia is noted, and recorded for future reference.
2) When your losses are paid back is random.
3) Entropia attempts to repay / stop you losing more than 90% of TT value over the long term.
4) Lost a lot? Take a week off, see what happens when you return.
5) If one profession just doesn't seem to be working, try one of the other two.
6) You'll have bad days and good days - see 1).
7) Timing is important - or is it? Not sure, some say it is, some say it isn't.
8) Location is important - or is it? Not sure, some say it is, some say it isn't.
9) People making Ped in Entropia tend to be v. quiet on forum, spot them, and copy them if possible.
10) Mark-up is important, whether you hunt, mine or craft, try and sell for more than TT.
11) If its really going badly, there is always chatting, sweating, fruit and stone finding.
12) And trading (although you may be called names )
13) If you see a post from someone claiming to be doing well - see 9)
14) You are paying for entertainment, no subscription. Cinemas, pubs, nightclubs & casinos don't offer refunds.
15) Are you using equipment that you can use at 100% efficiency? Dont complain about losses if not.
16) Hunt / mine / craft within your personal budget. For ex - dont hunt Proteron if you only have 200 ped.
Be aware this thread is under constant revision, please only quote the relevant parts. Thank you.

, and they'd have no cause to complain compared to how much they had deposited.
