EVE Online | EVE Fanfest 2023 - Becoming a Tycoon

[@Grundalizer]

Amazing talk. Well done. Brilliant resourcefulness. Don't give in to bullies. Pay people to bully the bully.

[@markhatch1267]

Somehow EVE has hit a magical balance between reality and fantasy. It's fun for so many different kinds of people. The dynamic real time simulation game play works great for me. I'm not much of a first person shooter. I like the way flying action is one step away from FPS. Who would have thought that business simulation would have been so engaging as a game. I even enjoy doing that part of it some times.

[@chrisklugh]

I dream of so many things in Eve. But I never do it because I think it can be done in the real world with real world benefits. But the real world is so much harder because anything 'big' worth doing requires the cooperation of so many people. That's where I find myself dreaming of Eve. Cause its easier. Its just not worth my time doing.

[@Zfast4y0u]

the reason why i never bothered to start playing eve, cause its so complex and to do it right, u have to put lot of effort in it ( my type of a game btw ). if i gonna make my mind to do something big, i rather do it in RL instead in the game, where it dosent really matter...

[@pythonxz]

Have you considered that doing it in EVE is a way to test ideas without the issues that arise in real life?

[@chrisklugh]

@@pythonxz Oh for sure. One of the challenges I find is 'old vets' don't like to do new things. Like in all sales, there are rebuttals, and this would be an area to test and push though with all that. But in order to do such a thing would require a Marketing Plan. Something I like to do in the real world, but just like in the real world, takes a good amount of effort and coordination to pull off. The 'old vets' are content with what they are used to to go though with the ideas, even though they find them interesting. Frankly, the Eve community was 'less lazy' 10 years ago. Like much of the real world, we are all becoming more lazy. We would rather have our participation trophies then earn them it seems.

Interesting. Good presentation on this topic.

[@LeyStream]

Thanks for sharing o7

[@pythonxz]

I'm glad he finds this fun. I prefer making ISK by more passive means to support my PvP.

[@Amathylar]

Thats awesome and crazy! If one invested that much time and effort into RL business would be an actual millionaire in $$. Still awesome work. I fo not agree introducing copy paste from excel, just adding more market botomation.

[@Telearian]

Yeah but we can't clone ourselves and use 45 alts to make it work

[@BloodnutXcom]

How can one person update so many orders? Thousands of orders only take him a few hours?

[@Taz6688]

I don't think I could log that many characters, and update the orders in a day. Something missing in the story

[@BloodnutXcom]

@@Taz6688 exactly. There has to be some botting story here

[@Paikon097]

GIVE US 'MULTISELL' !!! with copy from clipboard option

[@retorik7246]

1,2T in revenue to date, what does that make me with 2T+ in cash and assets

[@hundun5604]

I wonder what the average age is from the crowd. ~40ish? Anyhow, I get annoyed editing 10 orders a week. lol. He does it for fun many hours on weekly basis.

[@BanControl]

bro made blackrock in eve

[@toltekus]

got 2 market chars, with 300-350 orders total and iam making 25-30b profit per month... only 1 hub, how can he make only 60b profit with 15k orders?!?

[@Australianreptilehouse]

Economies of scale

[@grauzikas]

yeah jita traders be like: look how much effort that guy needs to replicate fraction of our profits

[@AlexSKS]

I'm a third of his net worth at a tenth of the effort. I'll take it

[@jububoobaroo67]

The slow down popup is only a problem if you're using command input software aka botting

[@BearHawkful]

Not true, look up "evernus"

[@jububoobaroo67]

@@BearHawkful "and then it automatically puts the price in for you..." Tldr trade by hand like everyone else cheater.

[@BearHawkful]

@@jububoobaroo67 you can export market files to text file, there are programs that read said text file and put the price on your clipboard to paste, evernus is fully legal

[@danielancona5293]

This is why new players wont actually stay in eve and it will slowly die. When a single player runs 60+ characters what is the point. Multi-accounting. I wonder how many active players there are vs online accounts.

[@tomcat3070]

so much wasted time and life on a game so pathetic "shacks Head" think what this time and effort could produce in RL

[@TheZaguela]

Is time wasted if time is spent doing stuff one likes?

[@ricrypto8956]

the average player base in eve are older people very successful in life!

[@th0bse_]

the only pathetic thing here is your comment, honestly

[@Mihail_Lazarev]

Why is it that when people spend their whole lives playing football or the casinos nobody says about them that they wasted their time? Eve is the same game.

[@Zfast4y0u]

@@Mihail_Lazarev he said that cause its cool to roast ppl who play video games, cause in their eyes they falied life. ppl have hobby. some ride bikes, other waste money gambling. some enjoy virtual world. and ppl who wanna humiliate others for doing what they like to do in their lives, are unhappy scum who are jealous someone is actually doing what he likes.
