Sure , theres mining , ratting , ganking and shooting missiles at customs offices
But then... whats the fun in seeing your bank account roll into the heavens when you already have the money to buy everything you want in the first place , with the only problem being you don't have enough skills for it .

Why the duck is this game rewarding me for NOT playing?????

you don't even need a PLEX
you can go ratting or lvl 4mission grinding for a day and you'll be able to afford one and buy one off the wallet warriors
AND I'VE JUST BEEN AROUND FOR A MONTH OR SO!!!

SP for PLEX, otherwise known as skill points for plex:

The ability to buy skill points with in game currency, often proposed in badly written F&I threads, or alluded to in borderline illiterate GD rage posts.

what I'm saying is , there are so many isks lying around in New Eden , if you play for the money , it makes no sense at all ,its like getting a trophy for having 20 grains of sand when you're off on a Mediterranean holiday .

You can try to pvp , but then again for new players , they might as well as donate their isk to new players .

Playing for isks in 0.0 makes no sense at all.
but new players who are too weak to play for "fun" will have no choice but sit back and "grind till they blind "

SP gain is easily one of EVE's best features.

It lets us people with responsibilities have a game to play that doesn't include ridiculous time demands.

Get back to me when you can afford a titan, and I'll be relatively impressed at the imbalance between your SP and your wallet size.

In the meantime, no one cares that you can afford to throw away all the thrashers you want.

Of course, this dear OP person forgets there is indeed one thing that does demand time: loyalty point and standings.

If Isk is so easy to come by, then they should exchange ISK/Hour for the wonders of standing grinding. P

THey can also give me the ISK in exchange for the unassigned SP I have...

that will take a year before I'll can even get in one , not to mention YEARS before someone can actually be competent in it instead of being just an oversize turkey .

it'll be 3 more months till I can get my DPS up to 700 .

This game makes me feel like I'm a billionaire child with his nose pressed against the windows of an expensive toys shop ,being mocked by all the jolly wallet crunching legos and scaletrix on display ,the only problem being you need a license to play .

I'm going to take that to mean that, no, you can't afford a titan.

Why don't you train for a T3? Instead of whatever it is that you are at the moment. I presume you are doing something silly like aiming for a battleship after a few months.

It is that way on purpose. No way to skip ahead to the front of the line. With this game you have to put in time. Real time not game time. It rewards those that have persistence. It does not reward instant gratification. That is why so many older generation people play this game. That is a core concept which will never change no matter how much you squawk about it.

I AM already in one , breezing through AEs and GEs lvl4s , but I just don't see the point for me to do so
:P
then again , "training" , which can be done by watching YouTube videos while belts stripping...
Is this a game , or is this a second job for rich companies executives brokering business deals with EVE online on their desktop background while ignoring their spouses and being emotionally dead???

You can buy SP for ISK. All you do is convert that ISK into PLEX, use it and then play Skill Queue Updater™ for 3 years and you can fly pretty much whatever you like. At which point you'll decide you want to do mining and realize it takes you 3 months to get into a Hulk. Shocked

You do have a point ,but then again
a game is a game
you don't go to Ireland so that you can get your eyes gouged out
you don't go to New jersey to get shot up.
No
you go to New Jersey to experience Jersey Shores and Ireland to purchase Heroine
whats the point of gratification when you don't even have to work that hard for it and money comes so easily????

This is not meant as a troll, maybe I am a bit slow or stubborn, but I still don't understand what is your problem? Online games are always silly, there is no reward for getting pixels to shoot other pixels, they are just for fun and entertainment.

If you want real meaningful rewards, you will have to look for them in this thing called "real world".
