Why do we need to prove anything? Your theories about our finances aside, here's the reality of living in a properly run 0.0 alliance:
-Properly maintained jump bridges and intelligence channels give ample warning to pilots willing to pay attention and communicate. A basic culture where you cooperate with your allies is what makes friendly space friendly.
-Free ships are provided for new players, so that participating in PvP is never a burden, and learning the ropes costs nothing. In fact, with insurance, you make money. Reimbursement covers PvP for fleet operations and small gangs organized through coalition channels, keeping PvP affordable at all levels. Fleet doctrine fits are especially reimbursed, so that anyone who flies ships which make organized fleets powerful is rewarded, and doesn't have to worry about income to participate even at the top level.
-Newer players have access to veteran players to learn how to make cash, form gangs, and survive in the wild. Getting information from people who have made it out in 0.0 alone, in small groups, and in large fleets is complex, and so a lot of teaching is critical.
-Organized interest groups in various areas provide content so that people who want to do something can find like-minded individuals to discuss methods, and coordinate. Incursions, specialized gangs, industry, scouting, even ratting, it takes all types. We don't mine, though. It simply makes no sense as a source of income.
-All of this is set up so you can put in as much or as little as you want. After my first week, I barely logged in at all for two months, due to real life constraints. This was accepted. This summer, and this past week, with our new recruitment initiative, I've been very busy in game. Players that put a ton of effort into alliance infrastructure are further rewarded for making this sort of play style possible for the rest of us. The concept of a 'red pen' operation is anathema to our culture.
So where's the catch? There isn't one. We take care of our own, and while we have had a few people go out in spectacular fireballs, it's (usually) to the tune of billions of ISK, and a permanent goodbye. We do take care of our own.
So whether you believe me or not, just consider this reality in EVE, and then think about if I missed anything that would improve life for a player. If what I'm saying is true, is there something that I didn't mention that's worth throwing gobs of moon goo money at?
If there were an alliance this nice in EVE, who wouldn't want to join? |
