Implying it was ever great.
Pay to win games can't be great.

And that's why we're voting for EVE Online instead of Black Desert.

To be fair. EvE's payment mechanic was always pay to win, witih the possibility to throw rl money for endless ingame money you have the potential to always buy the best stuff.

That said EvE's game mechanic actualy prevents the pay to win style because all the ISK in the universe will be worthless if you don't excel at the game mechanics level.

So far never met a person that is a good player and spends endless cash on EvE.

Having the 'best stuff' =/= winning. I lost a curse the other day to two t1 cruisers that alpha's can fly. Additionally, define 'winning' in EVE.

You don't win EVE.

EVE wins you.

No offense but I have seen many players like this. Ive even profited handsomely off them as players.Roll

The reason you ask? You can buy friends for in game isk too. Buy good friends and never be bothered. If you have enough isk its not "renting" anymore its just buying your stuff, and apparently if you buy enough you arent classed as a renter anymore. Funny how that works huh? Spend enough and peoples opinions change about your "social status."LolTwisted

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

There's a pretty shiny barghest on my KB from a few days ago that will tell you he didn't win. Unfortunately, we didn't either. Loot fairy says no.

Indeed. And then in the mails he sent following his defeat, he accused me of bringing 5 or 6 other people to help.... despite there only being two of us on the mail. "No but I bet they were waiting somewhere, cuz you're a coward. See you soon, coward," he said to me.

So I replied, "I'm looking forward to it. Next time, bring a calculator."

Anyway...


VOTE EVE!!!!

I'm by no means old enough to remember this time. But I think "always" is taking it too far as PLEX were not invented on day 1. Looking at this thread I would suggest that PLEX were introduced in 2008 after 5 years and game time codes (their predecessors) in 2004.

Well... I guess the whole history needs definition of 'win'.

His KB says that he actually HAD this shiny thing.
Your KB shows that you kill it (and yes, didn't get any of his shinies).

If 'win' is ISK value on KB then yes, it's your win. If 'win' is ability to actually fly shiny things and not caring about it then 'win' is his (depends on his reaction to that loss actually).
