Your reply is so BS.  If you are a hardcore gamer in EU, you would know that you could loose 100us$ in less than 30 min.
Why?

Depending on your proffessions, there is a few things to do to acheve this.  Ammo/probes/bombes. Decay on weapon/amp/armor/tools/Fap. Using (L) items...  Also the creature you hunt have lot to say...

What's missing in the post, is the proffession he got. Also he fail to inform about his skills and weapons/Tools he use. This would help a lot, but still there is many possabillities to loose loads of money in a short time.
Should he revice the way he play EU?  Yes, he really should :) 

The problem is, after all these hype with the press, like CP - TI - CND - Shopping Malls, there have been many joining EU who deposit loads of money. They buy skills and wery expensive equipment, hoping for good loot. Many of them don't know good enough how to play and loose big time money...

Who benefit from this?
Mainly MA and then the traders.
Don't know the trade price on high lvl items atm, but Fap2600/Imp Fap/AS-xxx/DOA-x/FF BGH/M&L-ML-xx/Katsuichi-x among some, have become wery expensive after each press release from MA, when new people join EU. This is because of the limited supply of many of these items and high demand from ppl with lot of money... (well, as a player in EU, it looks like they got more money than brain) (ML-35 TT+4865 PED / ML-45 TT+3275 PED = 1500~2500 increase in price last year) Prices on items also depends a lot on WHO the trader is.

Thats what I mean. And sure you can burn even more than 100USD in 30min, actually loosing money isn't that difficult thing to do. What makes it stupidity.. well if you hear that investing in Wall Street can make you loads of cash in no time, and you rush to buy expensive bunch of stocks without proper investigation and loose all you put in, what should you call that?

At least one should examine the different possibilities with small enough amounts first, and only gradually start taking bigger, preferably somewhat calculated risks.

i have to agree with the OP but disagree with how he said it. With the new changes to the game they have made being an OJ even more hard, it seems like there now "slum lording it" which is to say, they clean it up so it looks good, so someone comes in, gives them some money, then realizes there mistake and leaves, without getting money back. PLease don't say i'm just mean or trolling or whatever, i LOVED this game for a couple years, but now with recent changes things are getting VERY hard, alot of items are becoming (L) Loot is just plain TERRIBLE so terrible one of the MAJOR players in the Game Akoz, who owned several land areas and held tournements on them, SOLD HIS LAND, and i havent seen him on, i think he slod out, though i cant say for sure, but none the less this means loot is SO BAD that someone who has played the game since gold has decided to cut losses, on his land, knowing no one will hunt there anymore. This kills alot of  the game, because traders cant sell weapons and armor now, cause miners don't realy NEED them, they can avoid mobs.hmmm... let me see if i can find the screen shot of me and a friend killing 2 whole herds of exasaurs and getting maybee 10 ped of loot (used over 500 ped of ammo and decay) and this is a recent shot they were so great... what happened MindArk!

screenshot is up keep in mind those  "this creature didn't carry any loot" messages are scrolling both up and down.
