EVE General Discussion

2/3 hours of mission running = 600mil isk payoff. Where da f---- you doing these missions?

Fact: Unlike other pvp mmorpgs, EVE's controls are simple enough and required interactions are low enough that simultaneously controlling multiple accounts is very easy to do.


This creates an environment where multiple accounts are highly preferable to gain an edge over an opponent. The advantage of more accounts is compounded exponentially by the hard counters that are possible in pvp, such as E-war, Neut/Nos, RR etc.

In other mmorpgs, players are forced to group up and cooperate to achieve their goals because it is nearly impossible for them to play more than one or two accounts simultaneously and efficiently. In EVE, you don't need to find another buddy to fill that tackler role or neut role for you because you can just easily, or even more easily, use one of your alts to fulfill the role perfectly.



Conclusion: some spoiled rich kid with 500$ a week allowance gets to dominate you in EVE 1v1 until you get competitive with your wallet.

Many intelligent people understand this about EVE and stay away.


Solution: Require more input from the user. For example, requiring some degree of aiming or charge bars with timing requirements in combat would go a long way to improving the reputation and game play of EVE.

I'm not a spoiled rich kid. I work for my money and I spend it how I please. Also for people who plex, their time is their own and they spend it how they please (grinding isk). So you're both (1) not prepared to work to pay to win outside of the game and (2) not prepared to work to pay to win inside of the game.

I think that covers everything.

I look at it this way - those who use plex to pimp fit ships are just providing bigger giggles when they get ganked. We've all tipped our hats to the guys who gank 2 billion ISK Tengus or fully faction fitted CnRs.

So I say have at it - eventually you'll end up padding out someone's kill board.

I might point out then that it'd be safe to say it happens to the majority of eve players, who are not, I might point out, the smartest people, based on the sheer volume of scams that are successfully pulled off.

Please point me to the in game activity that can earn me 14 billion isk a day, profit, solo. Please.
