This game is junk with its entrenched player base that pays nothing to play and makes the most noise.
The PVP is worthless and the PVE is boring.
REMOVE PLEX and make people pay for this game out of pocket to have real players who contribute.
REMOVE PLEX and get rid of the PAY to Win model..
Don't buy Plex.... it's Steroids ...
People do pay to play this game . where do you think this plex comes from ?
And dont worry free to play is so passe these days , we have a new business model to look forward to .
it is the BBP model and has proven its self to be quite the cash cow . (Break the Bank to Play)
in order for eve to be relevant in this new order of gaming economics CCP will have to adapt this model to eve .
1st: the eve we have now will be called the Starter Edition it will come with current game content that we all know and love minus the ships and player owned structures .
the starter edition will come in 4 flavors minmatar, caldari etc... it will contain 1 starter frigate. and a 1000 aur
it will retail at $$$
2nd. all additional ships will cost extra $$ or $$$ or even $$$$ depending on the ship desired. of course to make this desirable you get a high quality 3d printed ship that is pluged into a usb data port that reads the ship into the eve client. ala skylander / disney infinity. (also start citizen has shown people will spend insane money for digital starships)
3rd. there will be eve trading power packs the packs contain a random assortment of power ups that can be applied to your ships base, this gives your ship a buff and they are available in single packs for $ or of course you can buy a box for $$$
4th. all featured content will be released as odysseys, they will come in at $$ per episodic content pack they may include cool new ships or power packs.
5th. lets not forget about your in game character . thats right for the cost of $$$ you get my lil eve dressup play set
comes complete with a walk in closet and a assortment of vanity mirrors. But the best feature of all is that you can even have a friend over for tea !!
There will also be supporting content packs that cost $ and $$ and even $$$ they will get you special clothing and accessories cards that can be traded in game among the player base remember ! gotta collect em all !!!
this is the new gaming model of the future .
skylander set the stage for this and disneys infinity will slap everyone across the face and make them realize that gamers just cant wait to spend their money on digital gaming goodness.
say good bye to free/cheap years and hello to the creation of the most expensive hobby of this decade.
