Hello Nerds,

are i am the only stupid Noob that i ask my self : "Ok, you can Play for Free, but can you all please tell me, how your All Free Players buy your Ships and Modules on the Market???? With your Free ISK ? LMAO!.... so all go mining 2 years for 1 week PVP in Zero Zero ?

Or is it just the morning Sun that`s blind me ?


I play Eve for 5 Years now and sometimes i took my money and buy Plex, you now, for Fun and for "welping" Ships.

How the Free to Players will do that ? Or are there Respawn points maybe CCP? like in COD or BF ? ähhhh WTF ?





CCP : Hey Noobi, here go Play for Free Eve!

noobi : Oh thank you CCP now i can play for Free!!

CCP: ...... (hust)

noobi : ähhh how can i get this Expensive Ships and Modules CCP ?

CCP : GO Mining! Or buy PLEX my Son!



maybe this all is off topic or soo, but ey.....Eve comes free to Play, how can your Mind not be ****** about that. haha :)

the newbies join a GOOD newbro corp, get free t1 fits from corp. have fun in the game with said fun corp

then eventually actually buy the game and progress threw it like we all have. (to make isk in one way shape or form)

With my free ISK. I just started some High sec exploration and in a matter of 4 days of casual flying around some more deserted areas I got 200M ISK in item value (DED items, faction items, salvage, data cores, decryptors). You can also offer your Salvaging service in busy mission systems. Won't be a big burner right away but you can grow from there. There is ISK all over the place, you just need to know where to look. Thus, I do not understand what you are talking about. Free ISK, however, is not a solution to your "problem", it only makes the thing you perceive as problem much much worse. Maybe you should get blinds, shades and sun glasses so that the Sunday sun does not blind you this week. Blink

And don't go PVP in Null sec, go PVP in Low sec: More people, more small ships, fewer risks, fewer consequences if done right (ie. don't aggress first to avoid sec status loss wherever possible). Frigs do not cost a fortune to buy and equip, neither do destroyers. Alone, you won't be able to take on bit fish, but with a group of similar people you can do fun things that don't cost a leg and an arm.

PS: This is part of my biggest criticism of Clone States. Just like the EURO introduction to most of the EU, which is now blowing up into our faces, CCP takes the last step of a long process of improving the information availability to new players first and hopes that newbies, just like in all the years prior, will ignore it and buckle up with the things that you described and perceive as "problem". I hope that this will also blow up into CCP's face. Roll

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

With my first trial I used to mine in a venture for a few hours a day, I recall getting around 400M in a few days so I had the money for a BS but not the skills, still got me a Moa and a Blackbird and rolled a few missions with them

The last two years I've been making 5b isk a month. In pure profit.
