Passive income is terrible for EvE, it reduces the activity spent by players in game, removes social requirements for earning income, and creates power blocs whose sole purpose is to farm isk endlessly thus inflating the economy for players who choose to actively play the game to earn income. Passive isk generation turns EvE into a Ghost town, no longer are miners needed to strip belts and work as a group, now all you need are moon mining pos's and botters to supply your Alliance with income.

I was a fan of Ultima Online, botting ruined the game for me, I remember when IPY 2 launched, everyone was using macros to skill up, the place was just filled with people who may as well have been non player characters. EvE needs less ways for people to AFK through the game. Moon mining and planetary interaction are some of the worst things to happen to EvE online, the inflation from these brainless isk generators is obscene. When will CCP step up and admit they've just created a bunch of ways for Alliances Bloc leaders to generate passive income in game and then launder the isk they make through p.l.e.x sales on websites such as player auctions? The passive income generation isn't here to make the game better for the EvE players, the passive income generation is to help people make money in real life through leading massive Blue Donuts such as the CFC.

Money only has value because the people in control claim it does, real value comes from power.
