    Aww... the drama is making me miss Eve. Now, I've been gone for more than a year, but through all this I've heard mention that Rhonyn was also considered a douchebag? Really? When I left he was... erm... if not the guy in charge of merchi, at least someone important. What happened?

    He was doing a lot of the same. Price gouging corpmates and taking advantage of newbies that didn't know any better. The final straw came after PL reset goonswarm because we were operating in completely different regions and Rhonyn called down some PL guys to shoot Merchis, then gave them intel on where the Merchis were located (specific belts) right before they jumped into the system.

    Delve is a burgeoning market. We just completed a remapping of our JB system this last weekend to facilitate better importation from Empire. We're also in the midst of the second great war and a great many of our producers are filling out orders for replacement battleships and capitals and corp/alliance spec tacklers. We haven't had several months of slow paced living to really stock the market properly. We've been front lining it for months now and haven't quite gotten ahead on production in a lot of ways yet. We've also had a MASSIVE influx of newbees since the Great Butan Push that ended Band of Brothers. This isn't like Geminate or Delve I where we had infrastucture in place and relatively few newbees as our veteransl were graduating to spec battleships and capitals. We've gotten literally hundreds of newbees since February. Frigates are a commodity right now.

    From what I know about Zzulu he's a pretty standup dude, and buying and selling is just good business. Goons have a reputation for being assholes, your shock and horror at someone trying to make some money off the market is fucking hilarious. If you're so worried about it give incentives for moving more shit into your space.


    What IRL company do you know sells for a 500% mark up? Buying and selling is good business in Jita. Goons are notorious assholes to everyone else. Perhaps all you white knights have missed the important parts of this thread.


    If he wanted to hyper jew a market, he could have done it in the Forge hub and done so much better. The Delve market is not your fucking playground.

    If I buy an item at station A


    then I move item to station B (where there are no such items at all) I can put it up at whatever price I want.

    This has just nothing to do with fucking anyone. Nor does it have anything to do with relisting. This is called importing/exporting. If person at station B does not want to buy stuff at price for that much money, they can go to station A and buy the item there, where there's tons of them to buy.


    I mean, this is not coming close to a violation of any rule.

    What? I have the right to put it up at whatever I want. I could have put it up at 5000% and there'd be nothing wrong with it. I'm not an "official" goon importer so I have no obligation to put things up at jita prices as long as I don't relist things on an already working market.

    The fact that you guys are in goonswarm and sperging over stuff like this is ...


    ...it's strange.
    Just saying. If it's not a big deal then why is he being blackballed?

    Uh, because the directors kicked me. Then they went out of their way to get me blacklisted. (they also accuse me of stealing) They say so in this here thread. It's not like any "goon official" is looking at evidence here, they're going to take the directors words for this.

    I sold a kestrel that I had imported from another region into a station in Querious where the market is completely dead.

    How does that translate in your mind to "fucking goon newbies"

    That's like saying there's a rule that if you import stuff from jita, you 'gots to sell it at jita prices'. Which is of course silly.

    Your logic is flawed, because there were no kestrels selling in the entire region before I put mine up. So if I wouldn't have imported anything, no one would have been able to buy a kestrel at all. And it's not fuck goons in any aspect.

    even with all this said, they blacklisted me before I gave them pics of my wallet, so this discussion is ridiculous relative to the reason why I was blacklisted.

    i'm amused that tykara is one of the only gs guys i talked to when i played eve and he's the dude who ended up giving this dude isk

    also when did 'spergin' become such a common insult to throw around can someone hook me up with a timeline on this please

    edit-i'm even annoyed with this dude for ordering a bunch of ships, i was one of the few people who did that kind of thing but had to because of my ship burn rate. how do you not get on kms/lossmails in a battleship i mean my god it's not even hard to die in eve i died constantly. other than that relisting has always been met with 'just undercut his prices' so i dunno why it's a big deal but hey whatev

    also zzulu i stand by my offer to get your shit out if you would like!

    double edit (i've been posting while reading 4 pages) - illiya, merchi isn't quite like goons, hate to break this to you but it's the explanation for a lot of the anger here

    if you're a newbie you should be flying rifters for free anyway, and then tacklemallers or something

    if it's on the OPEN MARKET, it's subject to market fuckery, bottom line. There is no 'fuck goons' clause on the open markets. If you want cheap/subsidized shit, it gets done through contract or trade.

    with speed nerfs and all that shit, it became more viable to ehp tank than speed tank when it came to newbies

    and seeing that you can fit bricks of 50k armor on a maller for next-to-no isk loss, it works out pretty good, and on top of that, it's a semi decent stepping stone from rifter -> cruiser that isn't a blackbird.

    Battlecruiser reimbursment is meant (as I see it) for Newbees so they aint stuck in T1 frigs until T2 Battleships, therefore expecting Them to have ZOMG 1337 Skills defeats the point of the exercise
