How to Profit in EU (For Real!!)

Savek · 06-03-2008, 22:23

+ Rep and EFD is welcome if you feel I help here.

Here's what info I can give about Profiting in EU. It's ALL that I know and honestly everything you SHOULD need to know to make Loads of Profit in game.

In order to profit in EU you have to look around and ask yourself... "What is it that MindArk needs people to do in order to make this game more appealing to other players and FUNCTION as best as possible?" If you align YOUR efforts up with MA's intentions... I'm SURE you will be successful. MA would be idiots not to reward behavior that is, essentially, the Community doing alot of MA's work for them.

I feel that I am betraying myself by posting this information... cause if you guys REALLY grasp what I am saying... it'll be THAT much harder for ME to profit...

Anyways... here are a few things I think MA HAS to reward... in some fashion or another.

Society Management: MA would want to reward people that are in Society Mangement (I believe) because they are the people (if they do their duty) who will make the Social side of EU worth experiencing. How many people have YOU known that continues to play a MMORPG simply for the Friendships they have developed over time. Also, Socs help people not feel so lost and help newer players learn the game faster and not abandon all hope.

RESELLERS: (Here I do myself the worst Dis-Service) Regaredless of the BS that people talk about Resellers.... they are essential to this games economy... if NO ONE bought and resold items... it would be MUCH harder for someone to find a particular item at ANY time during the day that they so choose... and imagine SELLING an item to something other than the TT without Resellers... OMG.. it would take forever... think of Resellers as the people who Hold an item that no one wants ATM until someone does want it... and charges a little markup (or alot if they feel it's neccessary) for the SERVICE.

Crafters: Crafters suck up ALOT of ores and resources... in the process making the whole EU economy go round.... they are essential players cause if they weren't around... if they didn't invest CASH and time.... where would hunters and miners sell their stuff? They are a Staple of the EU Economy.

Miners (and hunters to a much lesser extent): These people are the Suppliers of Raw Materials to the Crafters.... if not for them... many of the High Depositing Crafters couldn't do a damn thing... so I believe these characters actually benefit most immediately AND most Consistantly.

The Reason I say "and Hunters to a much lesser extent" is that hunters are the "Fun" profession... and therefore the most Popular (and most costly). More people are trying to do this than anything else.. so economically you have more competitors for Mobs, Equipment, and Buyers for your Loot.

Oops.... almost forgot. DO NOT to expect to profit off of MA... they can't allow that... you will only ever be allowed to profit off of OTHER PLAYERS... soooooo.... providing a SERVICE to others is the key. Ask yourself.... "What can I do for someone that they may not ahve the time, skill, knowledge, patience, or PED's to do themselves....."

Without going into much more detail about Trading and ideas I have for my own future... this is the extent of my knowledge on profiting in EU. There's no better way I can think of.. and no more honest assessment of the situation... IMHO...

Now let's hope it get's hidden WAY down deep in some forgotten folder so it won't be used against me LOL.

Good Luck and Good Loot!!!

Basically, your whole thread is summed up in the quote above. The rest, i don't believe has much impact. I know several soc leaders who have poured 1000s of dollars and aren't profiting. In addition, they are crafting, mining, hunting and reselling.

Making money from other players is the only 100% guaranteed method of profiting and that's a fact. The rest, i suppose is luck and gambling until we crack the loot code.

Offering blowjobs for 5 ped

Ill dance sexy for you for 3 ped

or my favorite as of late

You give me 1000 peds worth of mining bombs and when im done ill sell you the ore for a markup

The only problem with what you suggest is, your not really playing the dam game are you, how many skills you gonna have at the end of your reselling carreer? None
So you are basically doing the most boring thing in the universe for like 5 ped an hour when you could easily work for real for 20 times that amount

"I know several soc leaders who have poured 1000s of dollars and aren't profiting."

Well... you have to keep from ASSUMING they are doing what they do in the most efficient and effective way. Another Point...... it's not very smart to spend 1k usd in 10 different professions... instead.... focus on one.. and be patient... pick a good one.. build your Friends List around you being the Middle Man of whatever you choose to do to make peds.... if you are a Crafter.... make your FL all Suppliers and Buyers.

"Making money from other players is the only 100% guaranteed method of profiting and that's a fact. The rest, i suppose is luck and gambling until we crack the loot code."

I would bet that Higher leveled players that are Professionals and Experts at their chosen fields would differ in opinion some... if they were honest....

Some people consider being SUCCESSFUL and not being Suckered by the System as pretty fun..... I mean... in other games.... one of the dumber things I have heard is someone saying things to the effect of... "If I didn't loot it... I didn't earn it..." or something stupid like that. Well, if that's what you think... then the game Company has you.... they design games like these to Suck up your time and effort in such things... learn to cut some corners and be smart... not someone's Pansy.

Nobody can't profit from MA in anyway except of Luck hitting the "big loot", but in that case too, he/she profits from other players cause before they lost this money to MA.

As Ubercrafter you also can't profit from MA cause as we all know since ages, loot isn't connected to skills, you just can craft stuff that not everyone is able to craft and that you sell to other players, making profit with the markup that they are willing to pay.

You can turn it as long as you want, in any case, the profit you get is the other player's loss, or do you think MA is giving away free PED ?

Edit: You can "work" as reseller, people playing the game "right & bright" won't like you, but 1000+ PED / day are possible with a bit of knowledge.

I yesterday had the chance to sell an item I bought some hours before for 400 PEDs more than I bought it, maybe many people think I should have sold it, but well, I bought that item cause I wanted it to play with and not to making profit on it. PE / EU isn't meant to make profit, and yes, I wish that self-named businessmen ripping other players would search some real work themselves and let us play...

NEG REP ( I don't do it often)

I profit doing things that you say make me a "Sucker" and/or a "Pansy"

Grow up already. Your OP make no sense at all, except for the Captain Obvious part that you almost forgot.
