Hi,
It's an interesting thing - I do wonder what it solves though?
After all if time mattered - does EVE turn into a grind like other .. err .. places ?
Anyway, thanks for an interesting post - I look forward to seeing what debate it brings.
I've unfortunately had to remove some off-topic and non-constructive posts.
Please keep it on topic; I'd much rather contribute than snip.
Thanks and fly safe!

I think the reason most people that play this game do not count their time as being a cost is simple really.
It is because everything they do in this game is play.
I don't know about you, but I do not consider my cost per hour when I play chess, or when I play axis and allies, or Euchre, or PS3. Or when I go to the park and play. My play time is invaluable. Not that is has no value, but invaluable in the sense that you cannot assign a value to it.
Now my work time has a real value....whatever the market will bear. This is a different thing.
Eve is a game, and as such, I cannot put a price on the time I spend in the game.
I think that is one reason why I do not count the value of my time. If I valued it at the same rate I do my regular job, I would never play this game.

Valid point is valid. But I'd just like to point out that CCP has managed to assign 2 values to your invaluable game time: 1) $14.95 for 30 days.... 2) $20.00 or 550 mil isk for the same 30 days.... How you choose to value those 30 days is up to you. Allot like your annual leave then...
Nope, as another person pointed out that is my "gate fee" to pass through the gates into the amusement park.
How I spend my time, be it riding a ride or sitting on a bench watching people go by neither increases nor decreases my gate fee.
Thus you cannot look at that as a valuation of my play time.
