Its better off done open and transparently, because the way it works now it just creates a black market.
exactly, +rep
If you mean, Mr. calling people rednecks and other pejoratives, my forum signature, would you like to call out everyone else who has a forum signature? Including yourself and your LAs when you had them? Grow up.
Don't mind your signature one bit. Just you trying to say how great Arkadia is compared to Caly in every possible conversation is really really questionable knowing how personally interested you are. Will see after I have spent a bit of time in Arkadia on how justified the push to this promised land is, maybe there is merit to it.
Hmm I never called anyone specific redneck, just made a reference with this word to the group of idiotic Trump supporters (had no idea even it is offensive, guess all my knowledge on subject comes from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redneck_Rampage and some comedies) taking stand against stricter gun control policies
And you are sill off-topic'ing the shit out of my suggestion. Which was that complete skill transfers OVERWRITING the skills of recipient should be allowed and there would be nothing bad in it, MA could take a fee and even reduce the number of skills in transfer.
What people seem to miss with these accounts in an RCE is that the game is vulnerable to money laundering. Rules and such must be put in place so that it is not easy to participate in such activities that puts the game in serious jeopardy.
It could be done officially signing a contract in MA's office, so no money laundering / fraud / other mentioned problems could arise, in fact the current situation is encouraging that kind of issues way more.
All this bullshit about it being an RCE therefore you can sell your avatar.
Tangibles are able to be sold in EU (skills, items, time).
And no, girts, I don't want you to shut up nor do I care if you pay people to be you, it's weird for sure, but then there's plenty of weirdos around. I just recommend that you don't bring more spotlights on your position as someone who 75% of the time (you do pay 3 people, right?) isn't... you.
Because I'm massively for banning accounts for illegal behaviour (defined by MA's ToU); as are your socmates and many other EU contemporaries. Walking on eggshells is probably the right phrase, depending on how MA decide to proceed going forward
First, I don't pay people to be me. They cannot be me. They don't do the social aspect of the game just the mechanics. And seems like you do indeed care a lot. I don't believe in being silent on selective subjects or ignoring their existence. Imho if you cannot prevent something from happening (typically demand being there) and the subject not being completely unacceptable to society, legalize and control it. Not leave it in the gray area. This goes for many subjects in Entropia, including but not limited to:
* avatar sales
* playing for others
* "relative" healers
* the way tax system works
* weird workings of rare drops (waves, returning avatars getting good stuff, random walk by's getting good stuff)
* item hidden stats (enhancer break rate)
MA have stated before quite explicitly that playing for others won't be banned, but anyone doing it is responsible for their actions.
Second, the suggestion I made is not about transferring names/avatars. Just allowing to transfer all the skills (not including the attributes) from one name to another overwriting the recipient and taking decay. It would even not go against the quoted rule.
