75 hours of WORK to fund something that is supposed to be something other than WORK. 75 hours to come up with the equivalent of $15 subscription cost. Your time is worth $0.20/hour to you?

Hippys are why you can act like total butts and they don't put you in a straight jacket and lobotomize you anymore... come to think of it, maybe I AM opposed to hippys after all.

What? who said anything about work? The only thing i stated was that you'd need to play EVE 75 hours per month, making 6.666.666 isk per hour to be able to play it without using real life money.

Hopefully there are a good enough number of people that pay for their sub simply becouse they want to support the game.
And I really truly hope that we wont get to the point when everyone paying for their subs is seen as eve players of lesser quality.
Support your game and be proud of doing so.

Id like to see CCP post what % of the population of the game pays with PLEX thatd be interesting and may encourage other games to adopt the idea "Some say that he is actually dead, but the Grim Reaper is too afraid to tell him." "Some say he is the 3rd member of Daft Punk and he did the vocals of "Technologic" song. All we know is,he's called EVE Stig"! |

Poor logic, weak math. You base it upon a single account and "doing" in the game.
Run an indy alt - POS or highsec slots for R&D and production: 1-2 hours a week onlline, including move time and sell orders. Run a marketeer alt -- a couple hours a week max - more or less, same as above, doing long term buy & sell.
23 hours a day for market activity, 24 hours a day for research & production - then re-run your numbers. You'll come up with perhaps 8 hours a month logged on to "earn" more than 2 billion a month.
Initial start up of it is the only bottleneck portion but normalize those time-numbers across a few months and they shift to minutes.
It's really not RL time-intensive and why "get alts" is a huge thing in this game. |
