I may have missed the point, in reality, I am not smart at all ;)


Awk well you hold your own on these forums well enough that Ive seen and I have no reason to disbelieve you have no fear of grinding Lvl4s without a permit. Plus you have a loving family.

So you're doing something right.

Me and all my buddies that I played with ran level 4's asap to plex our accounts.

Its not that bad once you can you fly a battleship with T2 guns.

I'd aim for that first personally.

Not today spaghetti.

And we can only hope that CCP ends this,
so players stop focusing on grinding and wasting
their first weeks and months for this
and instead play the game.

I think it's really questionable that people join this game
and their first and foremost goal is to make enough money,
so they do not have to pay for it.

It's your right to go that path and you probably had fun,
because you had friends doing it with.

Now imagine the people who tell new players to do the same... but solo.

That's nuts.

We did them solo. There's no reason to share the ISK or LP if you can do them yourself.

Missions seem lame as hell now that I can do other things but when I was new building my space empire making that level of ISK was fun.

Not today spaghetti.

I feel the same way, except for the idea of paying for your sub with isk. I cherish my space money way too much, and 15$ is a pittance, I spend more then that on coffee and random crap during the run of a day.

But Doing L4's to be able to buy whatever the hell you want is a great approach.

On this: The ability to PLEX our accounts is a great perk to this game. The problem is, when it's presented as such to potential new players, they may enter with the idea that this is what you're supposed to do.

So... Leave this out of the presentation of the game? Not realistic. I fear it's something we'll have to live with.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued.
