Ok let me shed some light here - i dont normallly do this
I think i am one of the top 50 avatars ingame (dont quote me), I live in a crappy house thats almost falling down (probably have nowhere to live after september as we have to find a new place), I rent it too with my partner who is sick. and i try to use all my excess money to take care of her, I live on my pension and my weekend market stall, I have autism, i cannot multitask (EU is a very hard strain on my brain) I cant play long hours without having a sleep during sessions. I work awfully hard in the EU, Ive deposited many thousands of USD these past 2 years, and finally im starting to keep money inside , I have no flash armors (i borrow angel from time to time) I have no uber guns (imp21 is the best i got) I invested my whole pension once to get an evil amp last year (probably the most expensive item i have at the moment), I buy the best guns I can afford all the time with the skills i have, I buy the best mining amps i can cycle efficiently , I use the cheap MU E-EAMP 15 all the time (cannot afford 2 x 106 amps), and i turnover close to 800-1000USD a week day hunting and mining (cant really work in EU on weekends) - that is more than I ever had in real life, My virtual life is my work life, I work hard , I have profited this year (not by much - only deposited 800USD this year in january), but im still on a major loss from previous years - Ill get there though, had no ATH , only 1 hof over 20k 2 years ago and 2 hofs over 10k and Ive turned over about 80,000 - 90,000USD this year alone (not counting the other years) I have never cheated ped , I have never used bugs to my advantage ( look at all the hof with noobs on fire drake stalker , they run back circling while they shoot so the drake cant touch them much) I am so upset that i work my god damn ped off that mob and i see unskilled players hunting these mobs like argonaut, why dont they get banned. I stand there and shoot and i burn through 1 ur200 every 8000 ped turnover).
But in regards to these avatars that have been locked - look at my history , people may think why dont I have a nice house and live comfortably, Im not stealing ped im not using bugs to my advantage why do you make those horrendous accusations against some players just because they live a run down apartment, doesnt mean they may put all their money into their virtual life and just live barely in their real life .
Cheers
