EVE General Discussion

Discuss

I believe that CCP are aware of this yet do nothing to stop it because it's one of their main sources of income. Individual players who can barely afford one character are at a great disadvantage due to the fact that they're competing with people who are able to exponentially raise their influence by just buying more characters. Not everyone, especially newer players, can make such an investment given the current situation in EVE. The situation being that older Alliances have monopolized Nullsec.

for example;

You purchase 10 accounts
You train those accounts for industry
You purchase a sub for multibox software
You create a 0% tax indy corp in Hisec
You continuously get ganked by Alt corps that belong to a nullsec alliance
You realize that it isn't profitable and that your attempts of generating a return on your investment is impossible
Were are you going to go? Nullsec?(lol) Unsub?(only choice) Who's going to reimburse the $1000 you just spent? CCP?(pfft)
So what can you do?

It's impossible to gain any ground without joining them. It's safe to say that EVE is now a game about who's played it the longest, has the most toons, and who has the largest mass of mindless followers.

I'd like to see how much more interesting EVE would play out if everyone was just bound to one identity.

Use a covops/blockade runner to transport high value items like blueprints. Use a freighter service with full collateral. Easy.

Always the goons.

You could rent space :D
Also, you could move to one of the many solar systems where ganking is less rife (if your region is Domain, The Citadel, The Forge or Metropolis for example, you're doing it wrong). You could also fit your ships for anti-gank rather than pure yield. Also if you are all within 5km of each other, you're doing it wrong again as clusters of miners are great for mass ganks (imagine your miners have to do that thing kids do when they are in PE, where they stick their arms out and spin, and if they clip another kid, they are too close).

ISK is a LOT easier to make now than it used to be. Being a noob now is pure glory compared to how it used to be.

Also, high sec mining isn;t really the best isk. It's alright, but alone it's not great. Running a manufacturing corp and a trading win alongside it might increase your profits over the "all eggs in one basket" approach of mining.

BULLSHIT

You play EVE for a return on investment?

You are " playing " wrong, I've been with eve about 2.5 years and in that time I've never plexed.
The moment you make it about plexing it becomes a chore.

I have three accounts now, still don't plex them even tho I could, it sucks the fun out if all you are chasing is a fat wallet

Confirming multi-boxing is the only way to make good money in EvE.

Also confirming I just confirmed something.

Oh, and the OP is as blinkered as a rat in a toilet roll. I'm confirming that too.

I can also confirming it's all CCPs fault and rage-quitting is the answer.

I think I've confirmed enough for today.

Crimson. Have you ever thought that there maybe a reason people gank you?
I'm considering finding your alts and your area of operations and ganking you til you ragequit in a puddle of tears. There's plenty of advice in here, and good reasons not to cry about peoples alts, yet you just write dumbass responses. Best of luck getting good responses when you act like a child.
