Most people that wish to pimp their PVE ships are those that basically play this game in order to PVE. Since they don't have any other use for any ISK they generate other than to put it back into shiny toys there really is no problem with them doing so.

Whether or not this is ISK efficient or indeed necessary is irrelevant. If they enjoy PVE then let them spend their time doing what they want to enjoy.

Generally the majority of other people flying anything remotely pimped are doing so in a judged balance between form and function and do so in order to maximise income for use in other area such as industry or PVP. Again, big deal.

It's actually quite rare that you get people that needlessly pimp their ships in some false belief that a 12b isk battleship is going to rake in the big bucks way faster than a standard fit.

Overall the OP sounds like one of those arrogant "you are doing it wrong" morons that really should just mind his own business rather than worrying about how other people like to spend their time.

What would you have people spend their isk on rather than what they apparently wish to? Clearly they can afford such things or they wouldn't have them, your views on wether it's a prudent investment or not have no application or relivance to them or their preferences.

The way my income matches up against my losses, I could afford to uselessly pimp every ship I fly (including frigates) into the multi-billions with fairly little concern. Being wasteful is of very little concern to me, I can make far more isk than I have desire to spend and indeed have optioned out of generating large portions of my potential income simply because my tastes are more modest than my means.

I simply do whatever I feel like (which for me at least is actually fairly cheap), the cost incurred along the way is of little consequence... profitability or efficiency isn't a factor unless I particularly desire it to be.



TL;DR- People make isk and spend it how they want, I even make less because I don't care to spend it. Get over it. Lulz
