I have one account. On that account, I have one pilot. I intend to keep it that way. Anything that I cannot achieve by playing this one toon will not be achieved.
I think it's silly to have multiple accounts. Anyone complaining about how much ISK it costs to fuel their multiple accounts needs to rethink their playing style. Maybe you have too many accounts. And for those sitting on trillions of ISK and near 20 accounts, well, good for you. Sounds really BORING to me to control 18 accounts just to mine every single day in High Sec. Good job. If you were that dedicated to doing menial work in real life, you'd be rich there as well and perhaps you are. I'll pass however.
I run a Fleet Issue Hurricane in null sec on my toon. Ever since I started playing this game, everyone told me that I could make a thousand times the ISK in null that I could make in high. This isn't true. I'm in null now and all I can manage is a fraction of what I used to make. Null offers a lot of things, but money isn't one of them. It's still fun, risky, and entertaining, but it's warp paths aren't paved with gold.
Here's why: I don't have a corp that specializes in mining. Mining is where the money is and frankly, if you have a mining barge, you can make just as much money in High as you can in Low. My Hurricane can barely handle the easiest anomaly in Low and as such, I'm unable to loot because the waves continue to pour forth. Without a battleship, you can't get ahead enough to loot. I don't have a mining barge currently, nor someone to sit there and guard the vulnerable ship from rats while I do mine and I'm not going to train up an alt for it. I'm really close to being able to fly a battleship and so my money will improve, but it will never equal what someone with multiple accounts can earn by mining in High Sec.
The real pain in Null is that you cannot sell your "loot" without flying back to High which requires the corp to use jump ships. It's such a pain that it takes scheduled trips which slows things down. Also, the Empire in which they jump considers me a criminal. It's my curse for being the only Mimnitar pilot in the group. I'll never leave this corp however. These guys are awesome! I love them!
My point is, if you have alts, you can do whatever you want because you have your own corp that will do whatever you want because they're all your accounts. When this happens, you can mine every single day and immediately fly to a refinery, or simply sell your ore and you have instant ISK and PLEX to keep yourself going. In High Sec, it's all about ease and convenience.
Those that insist that Low provides ISK opportunities have it wrong. It's all about high Sec. Null is simply more fun! Hell, even running Level 3's in high was fast because I could fly to a starbase, repair, recharge my shields and cap instantly, and head right back into battle. After looting, I could fly to my favorite system to sell everything I looted for the best price around, and go grab the next mission.
I'm rambling so I'll sum up... Eve sort of dropped the ball on this one. Null is a LOT of fun and I'll get my ship soon to handle rats. I've got a hanger full of garbage that's waiting to be sold and I continue to rat belts rather than the anomalies for now. Eventually, my income will be above what it used to be in High simply because the bounties and loot for ratting is much higher, but I'll never in a million years earn what those ISK Boxers earn in High Sec.
Not unless Eve makes some serious changes!!!!!!
