Also because the average age is between 30 to 35 doesn't mean children don't play. Finally there is a free to play model now, it here to stay, all the op is trying to do is figure out a way to make alpha slightly more enticing without breaking the system.

As for toxicity, the only one being toxic is you, stop being a child an act your age, unless being a child is your age in which case please act like an adult.


Yes, child labor laws in the US say you can start working at 14 years old. They have for decades, since I started working.

Once again, why do you feel you deserve to play a game for free? Stop being a child and actually work for what you get, instead of trying to play games for free. You do realize game companies exist to make money, yeah?



So let me get this straight. You think it'd be beneficiary for the game company to make alpha clones lifes' difficult?
The game development company( in this case, CCP), would actually benefit from making an alpha's life a bit easier, since it would probably mean he'd enjoy the game more, so he'd stay more. Which actually increases the chance he buys a plex in the near future. GASP!!!

I'm alpha myself, and while this isn't a problem for me since I've found a WH space corp, why do you hate someone who didn't pay so much? You realize your oh so beloved game will die out unless more players start coming in? This game is very hard to get into as it is( player set up economy, sandbox, punishment for dying is huge). So you wanna make it harder on new players to reduce the amount of players in the long term?

I want a genuine reply to this question, not the "I PAID $$$ I DESERVE MORE!!!!"


I think the idea of alphas in the first place is bad for EVE. I also think on a fundamental level no one deserves anything for free.

You do realize the game will die out if only alpha players are here, right? You pay zero dollars per month. CCP can't run on that income. A subscription is $10.95/month. That's one hour of work IRL, if that.


Who said that players will remain alpha forever? Are you just making stuff up at this point?

Changing things to make stuff better for alphas will only increase the possibility of someone going omega, not the other way around.

No, they will not.

Do you even know, why people joined EvE in the first place?

It was hard, complicated and harsh.

Now it is a complete joke, too easy and mind dulling. The only reason for logging on are the people you meet.

Hardship forges deeper bonds and spoon-feeding leads to degeneration, which is the "new hype" these days. Shame on you!

Eve Minions is recruiting.

This is the law of ship progression!

This everyone is called the slippery slope fallacy.

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Confucius
