If you can get me a job that pays to play EVE, that will solve the problem....and i'll be your willing slave. 
I'd link you to where you want to be, but it's against the EULA. Is there anything else I could do instead where you would be my willing slave?

While studying to be a therapist we often discussed what 'reality' is. I personally believe, based on studies i have read, that the only true reality is each individuals perception of the world around them. If it's real to someone, then it's their reality and the world in which they uniquely live.
So compare someone who goes and works in a factory, doing as much overtime as possible and after a certain amount of time buys himself a motorbike which he uses solely for pleasure; to someone who mines in eve for the same amount of time to earn enough isk to buy himself a battleship.
If the two people get the same amount of pleasure from the motorbike and the virtual battleship then isn't the isk spent on the BS as valuable to that individual as the RL money spent on the motorbike is to the other guy?
I think the amount of RL money that people are willing to pay for virtual items on ebay backs this up. People will pay to improve their quality of life, and if that means hours of fun blowing stuff up in the virtual world of eve, then who's to say that virtual money doesn't have real value to some individuals.

Personally, I try REALLY hard not to think about the time and effort I put into eve compared to RL. If CCP were suddenly to go out of business I would TBH prolly be put in something of a personal tailspin.

Well said carca.
no one I know irl seems to understand how I can enjoy sitting infront of my computer for 4 hours on some days in somehow enjoyable. O find being logged into eve as enjoyable as almost any activity in real life. Plus I save my real life money by having something that keeps me occupied so that I dont want to go out and spend it.
