As the previous poster says, war is good for business, and business is good Cool

Other peoples wars covers my PLEX every month, hauling between trade hubs, manufacturing ammo and modules, mining raw materials, these are things that casual "carebears" like me do, because others in the game see it as below them. Feel free to blow up stuff, I will quite happily resupply you with ships and modules, you keep me in business, and in Eve, by buying up my stuff to destroy so I can sell you some more, your random destruction puts isk in my wallet and pays for my PLEX.

Beware of eradicating the casual player from the game, we are seen as prey which is fair enough such is the nature of the beast, but the moment you make your prey extinct, what do you have left?

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I'm not sure about casual, but I fly solo alot. Occasionally I join a pvp corp or alliance to get a good pvp grind. I would never think of suggesting things that are listed in OP. There is tons of solo content out there that can net you the big ol bucks... pvp isnt that great solo unless u like ganking hopeless miners/haulers/frigs or whatever with the occassional real battle, but there can actually be more rewarding isk to the solo player as theres nothing to split and banter over " but i got the killmail" or some crap. This is a sandbox fit for all, casual , hardcore, insane, or no lifers.. all got the same ends.. just different ways of getting there... so those who do wish to have what OP says solo players want.. htfu and learn the game or gtfo

Is the OP the new king of the cowpie?

Hes definitely the king of something in his own mind. And he lives up to his character name, but the real question is does he play EVE or just forum post all day?

Hmm....
