Isn't that the point of every MMO?

Ah, "Market PVP"

Edit: It is however, incredibly expedient to make a quick buck off of exploiting someone less competent. I was once fleet command for my high-sec corporation, who were all PVE whatsits and wanted to go pirating, but had no idea how to do it. After weeks of herding sheep to no avail, my CEO and I had a chat and I said that "If I were to pick a corporation to go to war with for easy money, it would be us."

He laughed.

Next week, I broke corp and went to war with them. Alone.

I made 1.5 billion ISK in two days.

The funny thing about Eve is that you don't need bots to automate the game for you. If you run a solo mining operation you have to press like one button once per five minutes or sometimes per hour. A lot of players in that position are apparently mistaken for robots. Flying around hunting down mobs doesn't have to be much more involved.

Now, I have a question: How is it physically possible for one person to spend anywhere near three million dollars on a game server? And how could anyone think that kind of business would go unnoticed?

Wait, the sources are divided here. I read somewhere that the woman had received three million in player donations and such, while others say Blizzard are "missing" that much in potential profits which is a pretty big fucking difference.
