You have risen from the shoulders of labour to accomplish something as fast as you could without the noble tradition of your own blood sweat and tears. You now wear a fools grin and every step you take is a step you did not earn"
Ian Malcolm said it better when it was about maverick genetic engineers.

Originally by: Mystic Ray All great quotes often need to be reinvented to convey a sentiment - but you are right Ian did say it much better:)
I must confess I'm guilty of it too. Everyone needs a script writer.

Originally by: Rob Eagle Are you saying theres a problem with people buying characters with hard earned ISK aswlel?
There's a problem with people buying characters with real life money, or isk bought with real life money in order to start from a position of power. These idiots ultimately fail anyway because to be truly successful at Eve, you need to build up a social network to get anything of value done.
That explains why many players who buy their way in don't last long. Eve is not an instant gratification type of game.

Originally by: Rob Eagle So its wrong for a 2003 player to spend 1b of his isk on a Freighter Alt?
Of course not. He was referring to people who buy their way up the ladder who have never played the game from scratch.
