Try thinking out of the box, take a look at RL and accept that there are 2 types of EvE (or any game for that matter) player.

1) The younger gamer, student maybe ot between jobs that has lots of time on thier hands, Cash is in short supply do they feed their gaming by playing lots, grinding isk and buying plexes.

Those plexes do not appear out of thin air, they are created by :

2) Older gamer, has a good job that pays good cash. They have cash to spare and already have everything they need in RL. To have this level of comfort requires either a lottery win or work many hours.

I am Gamer 2. I think nothing of buying 12 plexes and selling them to pay for my PvP habit. I dont have the time to grind ISK, i get home from work often late, and just want to log on and blow up some internet spacehips in my very limited available time.

This enables me to play EvE, Play another FotM game/MMO, keep the Mrs happy, spend time with the kids, go out and eat steak every night if i choose and run a mercedes.

I do this because i work hard and deserve to have an easy grind free fun playtime.

I am Damned if some unemployed peasant dictates to me how my gametime is played. When station walking comes into play then so will EvE politics, Alliance discussion will be conducted around a table not IRC, As in RL image will be everything, In RL i wear designer suits to make the right impact, they more than pay for themselves thanks.

EvE will be the same, the more high value wealth you display the more credibility you will have when conducting business or declaring war/peace in the stations.

I think its clear where this game is going, and one other thing, there are not many premium MMO's out there that give you a chance to play without subscription.

I would think about that if i were you before they do decide to go deeply down the F2P route. If they do i dont care how many officer mods give you godmode in PvP, i will be able to afford to buy better.
