What's the opposite of ebil?
I've suggested ebil types do something like this - give a whopping ton of inf to complainers, sort of a "no, it is easy to get" proof of concept; but I had attached to that the caveat that you make the player promise actually read and follow the usual market suggestions and to never complain again, "Look, here's a billion now hush your prattling and go away."
At one point I offered to give a whiner-on-the-boards 100 million inf (it was a lot at the time) to shut up. For some reason they didn't take it.

The opposite of "ebil" must be "goob".

You don't just pull 400 million out of thin air. You take it from the hard-working casual player. So people who give away lots of inf are still ebil, because they have to be in order to be able to afford to give away said inf.

Also, I am a casual player. I don't even play that often anymore.

I don't know about you, but I doubt a single individual is giving me all the money I get from the market. If it is, then that guy has some deep pockets.
I think much like everything else in CO... its about finding what sells for big bucks, and what sells pretty well. In plain English, learning the ropes!
A lot of people I know seem to have some kind of "farming..." Whatever, and then just literally pummel their way through AE collecting INF and tickets. They then have the option of using said tickets to buy valuable salvage which they can sell for about 2 million a unit, plus all the inf they earned pummelling their way through AE in the first place, it all amounts to 100% profits no matter how you look at it. May not be mega bucks, but if you have a Tanker or a Brute than can solo a farm on +3 or 4 and x8 and you could potentially earn 30 million inf an hour (ish). I did this morning.
If you can lay your hands on some of the most sought after recipes too, Kinetic Combat, Reactive Armour, Aegis, Obliteration, just to name a few, most of those are attainable either via reward or alignment merits. Or even via tickets in AE for random droppage of recipes.
Truthfully though if you are short of inf another thing you can do till your reserves are levelled off accordingly, is try to turn off super group mode. I personally earn my inf via a combination of AE farming, and tickets usage. Its slow and its monotonous, but, if guys like me didn't do this, there wouldn't be all them lovely recipes that you Wentworth, Black Market shoppers crave so much.
Given that what people dub as ebil is actually just doing something incredibally easy for big rewards... I'd say the opposite of ebil is stoobid.
That said, what the OP did isn't the opposite of ebil. He was trying to win an argument, not save a starving child. Though I do appreciate his actions as well played.
I gotta make pain. I gotta make things right. I gotta stop what's comin'. 'Least I gotta try.
I like Goob. As in "He goob'd me".
I have actually been goob'd. When I bought a heap of ixp I complained on chat "there goes another 150mil down the drain". And some guy emailed me 150 mil .

Want Inf pretty quick?
Cash in those alignment merits on a couple of Kinetic Combat recipes. Craft it, hell, don't even bother to craft it sometimes. Stick it on the market for the going rates each. Wait a few hours, sometimes minutes, and pow. 300 million+ straight into your greedy coffers.
Libe ebil? I LUB that album!

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
Maybe instead of being ebil start being gude instead? Being gude means selling at the lowest price possible thats above what the other ebil people are buying for because you want to give your fellow players a break. Purchase things only with the inf you earn via missions and npc kills. By only spending money generated thru combat is the only way to take the ebil out of it. If you do those things your on your way to being gude.

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
Last night someone in a global channel was complaining about how he had run 40+ iTrials and still didn't have a VR to show for it. I explained the alternate methods for obtaining them, both of which he shot down (saving up Emps for purple recipes in Incarnates Ascend, not enough inf to upgrade the 40+ non-VR components he'd earned). So without even blinking I sent him 400 million inf, fully aware that the cost to upgrade to a VR will decrease by 75% in a couple weeks.
I've had piles of disposable inf for a while now (not nearly as much as some folks on this subforum, mind you, but more than enough), but this was the first time I realized how comfortable I was spending it (I also recently used a few hundred million to build up a personal SG base).
I just can't figure out how people think earning inf is hard.
