I fully support the selling of items on ebay. It allows those with more money than time to enjoy games the way they want to. The only people that cry about ebay are the people that want to make things that much easier for themselves by eliminating competition through non-game means.
Just last night I stuck up a bid on eBay for the heck of it. We'll see what happens.
I DID buy something silly already: the location and passcode to a container somewhere in emperial space with unkown conents. If the feedback is reliable, then I'll get something interesting for my money and trouble.

I agree, Cake. Gold farmers dont' take anything away from an in-game economy, they just spread it around. If they weren't buying it from gold farmers they'd be out getting it themselves instead, so there'd still be just as many people camping the Great Money Beast spawn, just different people.
All the problems blamed on gold farmers in MMOGs are, without exception, the fault of the developers: overcrowding, bad economy design, etc. Gold farmers are just a convenient target.

By the way, comments on the website? Gonna post some stuff about the other encounters/outings as well. But, just wanted to get something up there for starters. Anyone want to take over and design a better one?!

I agree. Some people have crazy stupid amounts of time (like college students... Troy) , other people have money. We all use our resources as we see fit.
If they don't want "gold farmers," stop the activities that lead to it.
People are saying that while the amount of ISK as gone up with the population, used to be like7-8k, now upwards of 24k during peak hours, the amount of Tech 2 BPOs has not.
Thus there is a stranglehold on the Higher level tech 2 stuff, which only the older vets would have. Also, since it isn't in proportion with players, the prices have been skyrocketing as late.
You can take that as you will, either good or bad.
