Well, as a member of Warants, which I was at the time!(some of you may know, that you cannot join warants unless you meet in real life, no problem for me, I have met many players IRL) So I went to MA offices and was given the tour by the now CEO and was treated to the first look at space, a week before it went live! As you may recall, there was an MA ship flying around with a load of gold to be looted by ''anyone!'' Phone calls ensued between warants and MA, whereby MA were giving us coords to the locations of the ship, so that we could shoot it down and claim the bounty.... Oh really EMW! well how come you didnt do it then? Well dear reader, our pilot was ill equipped in the wherewithal of ships and space at the time(as were most) anyway, the final call was something along the lines of ''wtf guys come kill us,we will give you another 20 minutes max and then we really need to leave the office and go home, sort your shit out!) Sufficed to say, even with A ''level playing field such as this'' We still failed to loot on THIS occasion!
Remember, the points of this thread so far! Ma are not straight shooters, no matter what you think about the fairness of how this game is run, I have first hand experience of how it is really run! It is not what you know, its who you know!(it was the question recently asked on (MA run pcf forum), which was the final shot up the ass for me to start and end this here BTW) Whereby the question was asked about a top (internet cafe owner in Gotenburg) player receiving special favours from MA).... Next episode btw! (again but with the full story) MA are not regulated, in any real sense of the word, mostly down to geographic laws! BUT also remember, THERE IS NOTHING VIRTUAL ABOUT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!! More to come x
So, many years later and still believing skills and gear mattered, I finally convinced Skalman to do me the greatest of ''favors'' by selling me the Unique and best armor ingame for the ''great price'' of 270k peds, part IRL cash and a full set of supremacy! So, I transferred 17000 dollars cash to Skalmans acount and gave him my full supremacy armor! Being overjoyed by finally getting this golden armor set at (rates for mates LOL) I invited Skalman over to Spain to celebrate!! (important to note, that I have no hard feelings about this transaction, it was my own choice and ''being great with my money'' will never end up on my gravestone!) After a couple of days of going out partying we then decided to play Eu some, various things went on during this online game time, including Skalman offering to spawn a rare mob, to which I asked, (Thinking he was more drunk than me!) ''really! wont you get in shit for doing that, without checking with MA first?'' So that idea went by the wall, I was then asked, ''WTF man why you using that amp on THAT gun, c'mon man why you not got a mod Evil?'' I told him about my attempts to buy one at a reasonable price from various people that I had given good deals in the past etc but they didn't return the favour! (that's life) He then told me that the ''coffee vendor'' had been given the bp by MA to make the MOD evil and he would call him to see if he would sell me a mod evil for cheaps! So, he called him, right there and then in my presence! Coffee vendor, apologized that he would like to help but unfortunately had just got rid of his last one.....
So I wont keep on with all this waffle, next weekend I will throw a live twitchcast! This is me letting you know some small part of how MA actually roll and how much you can trust your hard earned cash in their hands! Whistle blowing is not something that many will do easily! so imagine how many other examples there are out there!! My live twitch will show you how serious I am and urge you not to waste another nickel on this massive scam!
but if anyone can somehow link the old forum thread from when those assholes got a lot of our accounts locked from the mining amps scam.. I have another little to add to that too before the final adios!
https://www.twitch.tv/entropiasmostwanted please add my twitch, in time for next weekend! or please bump, post etc!

Thanks Narfi and Mastermesh, it was the old forum which I meant but anyway, the point I was going to make, was yet another case where its not what you know, its who you know in this game. I went to Gotenburg to meet up with Skalman, unfortunately it was the same time that a lot of us got our accounts locked due to the scamming assholes exploiting amps! long story short, again a phone call made to MA and my account was unblocked immediately and I posted this on the old forum, which some were unhappy about(naturally) I was then asked by certain quarters, WTF you posted on forum, you should have kept your mouth shut about this!! Hulk had my gun on his avatar at this time and was also locked , MA were not prepared to unlock his avatar, just to give me my gun back to hunt with Warants whilst in Sweden, maybe he should have joined Warants too.
Tyvm for the insights @EMW. It's a great service to the community that takes courage. Afaik it's the first time someone spills such secrets in public this openly. Hopefully it motivates others to do the same. I've added your Twitch channel to our directory and embedded it in post #1 which you can edit to change it.
It's up to each streamer to define that. And depending on your account it will stick shorter/longer amount of time. In order to archive for ever you need to export to youtube, might be possible to do automatically... Anyway, back to topic! Where are you EMW, the RX units are spawning! Although I assume these are not Skalman controled :)
Anyway, to the subject in hand, bit busy atm but will do the the stream in the next few days, I didnt rush to do it as I didnt get any extra followers but I guess from the above posts, you are just going to watch the recorded version 8) ok ok, got it! x
