13% of the human population goes to bed hungry every night, while others feel the urge brag that they're financially stable enough to spend $30 or more a month on a video game..... wtf is wrong with humanity.



Well that question could take days and years to answer, at the end of all that discussion we would still not have an answer. The best answer I have ever heard on that is, we are human.

Do we earn a wage from eve? No! therfor it's not a job. All we can do is earn to play for free. I did so until the price point got to a level where it was as time/cost effective to pay rl money as to plex it in game.

If we dont earn rl cash then it cant be called a second job. Shame really. If there was a way to turn eve profit into real time cash then it would be a job i would do happily. Perhaps ccp could look at this - say a cash return of 50% on the plex. Earnings would be capped by the number of plex on the market so there wouldnt be that much profit in it for the player. buy ccp plex on site for 10 quid buy game time with plex in game or recoup plex for 5 quid ccp still gains. although i guess they could be bankrupted by farmers :D

Happy idea probably a fail one tho.

Point is no wage then its not a job..it's a game.
