o, after almost 7 years I decided if is time for me to play like a newbie. What I wanna see for myself is if it is possible to play the game for free as a newbie or maybe, if needed, invest $15,-- a month. What I did is put everything I own in storage except my newbie clothes and my VSE. I use my Jeep as storage now, so I will not mix stuff up. So now what, well I went to the Quarry and sweated more then I ever did, so far about 1500 sweat, but believe me that is a lot for me. While sweating I was thinking about what to do with the sweat, I could try to sell it to another player, but that might take forever, so I decided to cheat on that. Every time I have 1000 sweat I will sell it to myself for 4 PED (still got money I took from my ped card and put into storage) unless I see someone buying. So, after a while I got my first 1k sweat and sold it for 4 PED. Bought myself an ARK-10 and some ammo and returned to sweating, but killed the dry Halix. Well that 1 PEd worth of ammo did not last to long, so I just continued like I did before, running the dry ones to the turret. A few days later I found some of the 'treasure' Raven put all around Celeste. Picked up 3 guns with the idea to sell them to the TT at first but thought I'd the the same as with the sweat later. While on my way back to Celeste I ran in to Raven and he PM-ed me asking to put the guns back, which of course I did. Like I said I found 3 guns, so I got myself 9 PED from storage (the PED I would have gotten if I TT-ed them). With my new found wealth I bought some more ammo and started swunting Halix again. Got a nice loot from one of them (3,5 PED), so I am reasonably happy. The balance After a few days of playing like a newbie I have 15,30 PED worth of stuff in TT value and I am happy with that.
