Income and IQ had no correlation in what I posted. I said EVE had the creme de la creme of gamers because it takes an intelligent person to flourish in EVEs enviroment be it legit business person or successful scammer. Patience is a quality of an intelligent person. The more patience required the more attractive the game becomes to the intelligent.
You even mention "catch up" and that right there shows precisely how short sighted and clueless you are to the sandbox. You don't even understand how everything fits together.
You can "can" the polite overtures, the core of EVEs playerbase has zero interest in your typical buy it now mentality that pollutes every MMO on the market. There is a reason we all play EVE, to get the hell away from people like yourself.
You will never buy skillpoints, so suck it up and deal with it.
Actually I have to agree with this statement. Patience and the ability to train while being busy with real life is one reason I play Eve. In all honesty, I am heartily sick and tired of grinding in MMOs. I prefer the ability to get real life stuff done instead of sitting on a computer to keep my e***** growing with the new gear and level.

I may have a different perspective had I been playing the game since release, although it would stem from the selfish desire to maintain a permanent advantage over any player that started playing after me.
Right there you fell into the stupid trap. THERE IS NO CATCHING UP. It has been discussed for ages and proven. Seriously, why do people interpret the only MMO where you do not catch up and don't need to catch up with every other mmo where you do need to catch up.

Originally by: ALEX THAGREAT it would **** me off so bad if they started selling game progression. that defeats the point.
It's already in the game under a different format: Character Bazarr. In reality, there are little differences between CCP selling SP and allowing players to buy/sell characters. But with SP sales, CCP gets in the direct line of the supply chain; which will fatten their bank accounts.
In the short run yes. But never in the long run. People seem to forget the math: Short term - people raise their skill points quickly. Are unable to understand Eve mechanics and fly capitals. The balanced Eve economy crashes. They die. Enraged they quit. Your short term profit is gone.
Long term: people progress and learn the dynamics. Less balancing issue because there aren't capitals everywhere and demand for them isn't instantly spiked. People can learn, if they wish.
