I remember picking up a book in a book shop obviously,,, called 'Poor Mans way to Riches'

It was full of quots of people buying the book and with in months they were rich.. I stood there read some, looked about the shop, popped it in my coat pocket and walked out.....

I was going to do a test to see if i could get rich, but not by buying the book as it was obvious that he got rich selling the book...

Guess what happened...... !!!

After a little while in PE I think the only guaranteed way to profit is to not play. Instead of playing you can re-sell or sweat or ? But playing is gambling and by definition many will lose while a few will profit. You are fooling yourself if you think you can routinely profit by hunting/crafting/mining. Sometimes you win but usually you lose.

Of course there are things that can be done to improve your odds of winning though, or more accurately, lose less.

Thats my whole mindfuk about this game.
Its smartest to not play... Thats so true
I used to have this grand Gain skills and get better.
well now you have to add in all the L crap you have to buy
Then you have to face reality you usually lose and lose alot
Then the reality that skills dont really matter, even the most skills players in the game lose way more than they profit
Then you have to face the fact you have alot of time and money invested in this game and the fact the company who makes the game changes the rules every couple of months to make it harder and make your skills less effective
The simple fact im on this stupid forum and not playing the game says everything

"PE / EU isn't meant to make profit"

That's a silly way to think... tell MA that EU isn't for making profit LOL...

"And yes, I wish that self-named businessmen ripping other players would search some real work themselves and let us play."

It's NOT ripping people off... it's providing a Service.. and if you would THINK beyond what's immediately in front of your face.. you might catch on and not lose so much ped in game. Also, if you think reselling ISN'T work... then you haven't done much of it .

Hold on, wait, wait, let me spend hours looking for a really Great deal and then turn around and sell it to you for the same amount i paid for it... That's the SMART thing to do.. really.... *sarcasm off*

seriously, you seem to be lacking some profond understanding of EU and how "dinamic" it really is.

Nothing wrong with trying to help ppl, and for that, thumbs up.

As it stands, the only way to really and reliably make profit in EU is by profiting from other players. You were just stating the obvious there for most ppl.

Sorry.. I don't waste my time (much) posting stuff here... I'm begining to regret even posting this thread.... some people are just dense... and there's no helping them... (not talking about you so much here.)

And to adress the Obviousness of my post consider this... How many people do you know of that have BLOWN tons of Peds trying to profit mining and hunting? Trying to profit OFF OF MA.... well... I was trying to give a somewhat thorough and straight forward warning.

For you all that will think beyond the obvious... you'll see that the activities I listed and detailed... combined with the knowledge that you will NOT directly profit off of MA... will lead you to success.

don't believe me if you don't want to.. I don't give a damn... how does it help or hurt me if any of you are successful or not... I was trying to be helpful.

I survived all of 2007 with that quote in mind. One word....Korss! That is until the drop was shifted and the feff redone. I knew there was a demand and I knew that MA wanted them in game so I took advantage and just hunted feff. It got boring at times but I was always profiting. Not enough that I bought anything huge with the profits let alone had enough to withdraw but I played free, skilled free and upgraded some of my gear.

+rep for effort.

OMG, Ty.... there IS hope!

I think you're going to take this thread down another wrong turn and with the tone of that reply don't be surprised if you end up with red rep. I wont do it but don't be surprised.
