So it has become more and more difficult to have make Isk due to hostle blobs everywhere exept hi sec. On top of this galentee keeps getting nerfed. The only way ive found that it is possile to make isk is by carebear mining*gasp* but that is so far from being a sustainable income for one account.

Point is it is impossible to make isk without buying PLEX which is wrong because I already subscribe to the game. I shouldent have to pay for other parts of the game due the fact I already pay to play.

PvP- Blob or be blobed. PvP in this game has nothing to do with what you have or how good you are with it. It is all about who has more guns on field.

This sad fact makes CCP's balencing of the game USELESS. My 100 rookie ships will kill your tens of billions worth of blinged out Battleships anyday.

Point is this game is getting very stale. Skill doesnt matter. The only thing that matters is who can buy more PLEX than the other guy will win. I have never gotten into an even matched fight in 1 year playing this game. People will only fight you if its 4 of them against you. It simply isnt fun being blobbed or honestly blobbing people. Unfortunately that is the lame nature of this game. I cant stand being in fights that last 5 secconds.

Long story short I do not feel like my subscription fee's are fair for what I get. Now we have to pay for ship paint jobs too plus being allowed to use our charicter slots? We already subscribe. I just feel ripped off. CCP needs to worry less about balencing ships and actually making good fights in the game. Balenced ships are pointless if you cant get a balenced numbers fight.

Plex is high priced because Incursions are money printers and causing things to inflate.

There are other causes, of course. That's just one I felt like pointing out.

Yes, the point is indeed wrong by virtue of it's inherently contradictory nature. If it was impossible to make ISK without buying PLEX, there would be no ISK to exchange for those PLEXes. The PLEX prices right now ar just a bubble anyway — the same ISK bouncing back and forth between speculators.

Your other point is also wrong: wasting more money on PLEX doesn't mean you win. It only means you lose more real-life cash on a futile hope that you'll be able to compensate a lack of skill with more shinies. Fortunately, the game doesn't work that way.

At the risk of sounding clichéd, if you're getting into a fair fight, either you or your opponents have failed. EVE isn't fair. But fair has nothing to do with it.

Probally megacorps/alliances doing that. Please explain why the PLEX value is skyrocketing to me.

With that in mind I realize eve may not be the game for me but at the same time if they eliminated that it could be so much better...

There is no such thing as a fair sandbox. Everyone has the same tools. It's just up to the person to decide whether or not they use them. Equality of opportunity. Not equality of condition.

In those terms everybody has to have more tools than everyone else to be successful.

No, they just have to be better at using them.

That just means you're bad at using the tools at your disposal.
