Are Ubers stealing our loot?

[Harvest]

Some times it seems that way but I would say steal is incorrect.

I dont see the ubers globaling on exos and feffs'. They are hunting aliens and other much bigger mobs. Its proportional to what your hunting.

Lets say that your chance of globaling on a exo is 1/50 (or maybe much higher these days) your chances of globaling on a Hog is more like 1/6.

So you will see their names all the time and the chances of it being big is higher but they are paying lots in ammo and decay as well.

So you guys think that PEDs circulating within the game effect MA's corporate bottom line? LOL

There's only ONE supply for cash in MA's accounts, and that's depositing. No amount of in-game trade by players brings additional funds into MA's bank account. They aren't "holding your money while it's on your PED card", it's where? Say it with me... it's in their bank account.

Anyone telling you otherwise is trying to pull some accounting legerdemaine on you.

The ony thing thak makes MA revenue is continued deposits, and perhaps the odd spot on the ad screens, or sweetheart deals like nightclubs, banks, and shopping malls.

PEDs don't count, Dollars, Euros, Rubles, Pesos, and whatever is in your Terran wallet... well actually in MA's wallet, does.

Well, actually the other day I went to get a hof, and guess what - BANG, some ubers got an Alien hof, and I didn't get any, surely because of them... But it was mine I tell ya, MINE!!!

Not

[tito25]

no,i think noobs stealing our loot-its funny 2 see ppl with 10k skills geting 3k+ on exa or other noobish mob or 15k in mining with 102finder without ampbtw i think im also noob but with 120k+ skills

[combo22]

So called "ubers" can steal ur loot only if they hunt same mob as u, if u hunt exa and someone hog, i'm 99,999999% sure they have nothing to do with your loot.
Since L items come along ppl that play this game for few weeks can have same eco as ppl that play it for years!!! I would say that today noobs are spoiled .

MindArk PE AB offers Entropia Universe as an exciting and entertaining virtual universe where the participants are free to choose how to form their experience. Your success within the virtual universe mainly depends on three things: your skills, equipment used and the dynamic aspect of the general economy.

Well about dynamic aspect we cannot do a lot, but we can do a lot about skills and equipment. Of course how you well know just few people have huge skills and equipment. I think they deserve a good loot. They spend a lot of money to gain skills and equipment (well be an old EU player help a lot too), so it s correct that they have often globals, HOF, all time HOF, fantastic-exclusive items in their loot windows. All is fine for me. But the point is: they are stealing the loot of the other people? when a member of one of the most skilled soc get one global each 3 minutes what happened at the all day total loot? it s like they dry the loot? what you think about?

The WoF got hundreds of globals all at once, others still globalled afterwards, during and before. Loot went up and down at times but more people hunting does make for more globals I think, especially after seeing 20 or more globster globals in an hour, several times in a row.

I say that every uber's are deserve their global's/Hof's/ATH's for sure.
Every uber spend so much money in game at least they spend a lot of time in game so no matter if player is noob or uber or mid uber, every player in game are deserve their Global's/Hof's/ATH's in game...this is fact.

You did not answer to my question

And to be honest I doubt the money stored in MA's bank account is invested in high risk and therefore rewarding stocks, because It's basically 1) not their money and 2) it's very volatile.

It may constitute a source of income, but it's not the sole.
As far as I know, the armor, FAP, excavator, implant extractor, refiner and finder decay all goes into Mindark's pocket, and not their deposit account.

Im getting in line with Witte here and also question the statement that the ones who earn peds in EU are thieves.
