So you hunt and spent money. Many are happy when they get swirlies. For some reason that gives a thrill and make them not see that they lose more then they get. I did once read that mindark gives back 80/90% of what you spent..How its possible to profit then? Maybe if you are uber and only loot very rare things. But to reach that level you need atleast spent that much money you will make the day that you are there at that level..not gonna happen.
So you are not gonna profit by hunting. Maybe mining then? Dont think so. Before using no amp or an unlimited 1 might give litle profit. But ores/matters and amps have such low markup these days. that when you calculate the losses that mindark takes. the 10%, You will break even or lose when you dont mine smart. But lets say you break even, or make 5% profit on every 100 ped you spent. How much time you spent on it to cycle your peds. Is it really worth the time to make such little profit?
Not to mention abot crafting. That is only lose and lose more and finaly all you have, but hey, you can deposit some and maybe you get an ath...not gonna happe, wake up :p
So whats the thrill about this game? Its almost impossible to make profit, so whats left over? The gameplay?
You like killing animals maybe? If yes, maybe buy a real gun and start hunt rabbits. Its shure alot cheaper:p
Or Are you addicted to swirlies? You should know that those are some expensive ones. The swirlies you get dont make up for your losses.
So maybe its the gameplay or the story line that keep ppl play entropia? I think there are many other games with way better gameplay. But hey...none of those other games will get you an ath dont they? Well you wont get 1 in this game either :)
Why i write this? I aint pissed or mad. I dont hunt, mine or craft. I trade. I make money while you all lose it. I think alot of you ppl should wake up. I feel pitty for you gamblers.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself..Are you addicted to gambling?

:)
 
I pity the person that has never felt the rush of adrenaline, the thrill of the gamble or the joy of winning.

There are lots wrong with this game, but we each make our own choices, and in the end we each love it for our own reasons.
 
poor person that needs a game to find adrenaline :p

Poor person is who just understood low-life reselling, and not able to profit by pure game mechanics meanwhile having fun same time, instead of dumb AH-zombing.

And that person who is sees profit as target - double poor.

I feel pity for you.
 
If profit is the only reason you play then best to un-install now.
The game doesn't need those people anyway.

Personally I still play because of the people and friendships I've made and all the rest is just gravy ;)


I pity those that only see dollar signs........
 
If retrading in entropia is your way to make a living I kinda pity you :D I value my time a lot higher than the profit I can make in here per hour so I make my money elsewhere and spend it here having fun (well not much anymore but still..) :cool:

Agree with you 100%
Log in for fun, catch up with some mates n make the Ped last as long as possible. Then log out do other stuff, enjoy my family n life. Work and earn. When eu not fun.. Log out n enjoy other thing.
 
just because you cant profit hunting doesnt mean no1 can :)
im kinda lost on the purpose of this thread ?
 
Rather be addicted to eu gambin than gamblin irl. Peds last longer than cussin hole chips
 
dude, close this thread - I call troll. Why the Fu@k would you make this post.
"ohh i'm better than you and I make money from all you"

Don't bite the hand that feeds you!
 
if you're not hvaing gun, then you're missing the point of this game.

To the OP, I think these guys pity you and want to know why? Caus eyou're not having fun, they are.. the know what they're in this game for and it's not the money..it' the fun..

Also yes you get to socialize.. I mean hav eyou really sat down and talked to anyone in game lately? Maybe flirted with a young lady (and guys there are real women out there.. trust me on this!)

But let's be honest, if you're hre for just the money and nothing else then they have the right to pity you.. 100%..

if you are in it for the money, then you're not really having fun..

Now Mr. OP, before you wonder why I am in the game? Well I too have a purpsoe.. it's called I like to challeenge myself..

Let' me tell you and the rest of the folks here a true part of me in RL.. I'm leagally blind.. that's right that "Blind sniper Moniquer isn't a "Nickname or a pet name or whatever.. I truly and absolutely am legally blind.. and in fact why do I challenge myself? To see if I can do things..

Can I hunt certain mobs I want to hunt? Of course ..

Can I mine? I sure can mine and I don't complain if i get even a level I hit..

Crafting? I crank out welding wire.. by the ton.. and I got people who I don't reselle to either.. I sell to them for a reasonable price..

but I go out there every day and challenge myself.. Righ tnow one of my challenges is to be a Sargent in the IFN Military branch over on arkadia.. I enjoy the terrain, and I don't mine talking to all the men and women out there.. I mean even socializing is fun..

the point is this.. If you're not having fun becaus eyou think it's chaper to kill rabbits. then mister I hope you have the 900 or more USD to go kill rabbits.. ((And that includes the gun, the ammo and the skinning knife..

and what do you get out of it? A bunch of dead smelly fly infested rabbit corpses..

me? I will just go on and have fun? But what about you?> Ar eyou just going to sit there andd complain about how bad your life is? Or are you going to tkae up the challenge and beocme a hunter, or a miner, or a crafter.. or are you just going to be the town whiner? No I didn't say winner I saiid whiner..

look if you think this game is too hard and you don't enjoy it, then don't bother player.. or play and socialize.. or do whatever.. there's plenty to do in this game.. Want to be an animal tamer? Get a whip and whip a few of the crittersi nto shape.. Don't like that? Try to craft textures and then apply themn to a piece of slothing.. DOn't liek that? Try your hand at space piloting and dodging pirates.. don't liek that? Go out and take a nature walk looking for stone fruit and dung..

The list goes on and on..

Sure if you want to trade that's okay too, but let's be reasonable.. if youre' going to sit every day and hope you are going to get rich just by selling or reseeling peoples loot, then the issue is.. you're mssing the boat..

maybe it's time you try something different.. if that doesn't work try someothing else.. and if all else fails youcould be a beautician.. or a fashion deisgner..

hey lots of options very few people waiting around..it's your chocies tht affect your outcome.. not some ped card..

ah ewlell, time for dinner than off to the hunt..

There are some fucking funny replies here! Ty for that, it was needed! :beerchug:

The last couple of days irl have been the shits... Literally... My damn main sewer line in my house is fucked... :banghead:

So ty OP for putting your head on the block. Much appreciated! :yup:
 
If retrading in entropia is your way to make a living I kinda pity you :D I value my time a lot higher than the profit I can make in here per hour so I make my money elsewhere and spend it here having fun (well not much anymore but still..) :cool:

Indeed, irl is where i make my living, if i trade with gear i use over time ingame its just damage control :)

If playing wasnt fun, id leave in a heartbeat.
 
Some answeres might take under consideration that making money out of video game is fun itself and life goal for some ppl - nothing wrong in that. OP is just stupid enough to say it in offensive for comunity way :D
 
I dont hunt, mine or craft. I trade. I make money while you all lose it. I think alot of you ppl should wake up. I feel pitty for you gamblers.

So we should wake up and stop hunting, mining and crafting? Maybe we should all start trading and profiting by selling guns, armor and mining amps to each other that we can hang on the walls in our appartments since none of us will have any use of it anymore.

You really fail to see how this game is put together.

Most of us also have RL jobs that pay more than you can make each hour by trading. Id rather work an extra hour or two and deposit those $ into the game, than spending an hour or two spamming the trade channel, staring at the auctioneer and ruin my ingame reputation.

Funny that two most arrogant traders Kaatje and Infinity both are from Netherlands... I wonder what do they feed their children that they grow up being such arses?

To OP, You can profit in EVERY profession if you dedicate yourself to it and dont let fun get in the way. Same with trading you can trade for profits or trade for fun.

I wonder which traders ppl choose to trade with if both pay the same prices, the ones who make arrogant posts about the regular players being stupid, or those who make 10 ped per trade and put it all back to lootpool?

I used to trade for profits also (while i was unemployed in real life (while in university)) now i just trade to fund my gambling addiction (and yes i deposit also).

So dont bite the hand(s) that feed you.
 
Im here in game to relax and have a laugh and relax with the many freinds I've made online here in EU. For me it has a social as well as sometimes serious aspect to it which I enjoy.
(see that word enjoy? It means take delight or pleasure in (an activity or occasion) ).

For me EU isnt about how much profit I can make hunting, mining or crafting its much more than that.
 
Didnt think i will see more stupid post after some of mine and most of whining sceptic but there you go . Man you just get the bigest hof of stupid post ever :D:D:D:laugh:

Congratz !!!~~~!~!~!
 
@op

You are rude, talking down to the most people who participate in EU.

Yet, you got a few points right. I'm around long enough to witness some former mates had regrets about the amounts of money they spend on entropia. Anyone long enough around will know at least one or more people who are that way. Its no secret that some people play to push the ath.

But this regrets will most time show up on the end of a gamers entropia lifespan. Between his first login and the point he leave EU he had lots of fun and if he was the social type he probably had a blast playing EU. Losses weight more than good memories that's why some people tend to forget about the good times and become "negative" at the end of their journey. Funny thing is, after some years the losses fade the memory and people come back because they suddenly remember how much fun they had.

EU is more than just profiting. Its a goal you can chase, you can try to get as close as possible to it but its only a part of the game. Making friends, building trust, trying to outsmart everyone else, finding your niche that work out for you and many things more make EU worth spending time. If it were just gambling you could get way more adrenaline (and chances to make money) buying a knock out certificate on the stock market and watch the ticker.
Beats every casino.

Being a trader and all is fine but you shouldn't look down on everyone else. The reasons to play around inside EU are as many as stars on the sky. There are, without doubt some gamblers around and a small amount might have lost their reason and spend more as they should. But that's not the majority. After all , losing some money fund the game.
 
I wont be buying anything from you, or selling to you.

Congrats on your success.
 
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Not only insulting to everyone, but also the stupidest shoot-yourself-in-the-foot OP of the year.
Good luck with your trading, it sounds like a lot of fun, like a really really low paid job.
Maybe some day you can upgrade your life and your income by start working in mcdonalds.
 
This is such a troll

You say your a trader and made profit wooopy do. But as a trader wouldn't it be more constructive instead spreading negativity that you come up with constructive suggestions to improve the game thus increasing your income long term ???? or are you a typical sales person blinded by short term gains??? Better delete your character right now and start a new one you just nailed the coffin for your trading career. :laugh:
 
What a stupid post, I dont even know why I am justifying it with a response. all I can say to OP is

F@@K OFF

This game / universe is for entertainment / fun and by the way that cost money. 2 tickets to the cinema for my son and I $25. plus popcorn / drinks another $10 so 35 dollars and my son and I are entertained for 2 hours. That money would last a hell of a lot longer than 2 hours here (unless you hunted flat out and got zero returns)

In fact lets say you burn 350 ped in 2 hours, even the worst case scenario MA will graciously give you at least $20 back and who knows it might be a profit run.
 
I trade. I make money while you all lose it. I think alot of you ppl should wake up. I feel pitty for you gamblers.

People choose to participate in various activities at a loss for many different reasons. If you intend to do nothing other than trading then you don't really need to understand these reasons. Just understand that without these ppl there would be no demand for items and it would not be possible for traders like you to profit. You should understand this and respect the decisions of other players.

That was MA mistake and wrong from start in PE or EU.
There is no skill system for tax collectors and traders.
There is no case that item paid evaded being deployed or that unskilled trader missed to pick won item in AH.
There are no restrictions or MA taxes on reselers profits on unrestricted MU - yea free market, lets all stop doing anything and become traders.
There is no way that unskilled LA, CLD ect owner had "near succes" in geting tax.
There are not requierements to be online and present (not AFK) for traders and tax collectors ( for other profession doing same could mean imediate ban )
So possibility to contribute to game by investing in own avatar skills and loosing peds and loosing time like basic 3 professions do is minimal.
Do we need so many out takers in environment wich was supposed to be a game ?
 
Not sure why everyone is picking on OP. The thread is called negativity and thats it. Mission accomplished -rep from me. :laugh:
