(1/3 of the value per month for insurance? How many noobs can afford that for large ships?) That's severe frustration.
When i started playing eve i started as most people with mining.You started mining in a frig , then a cruiser to eventually end up in the ulitmate mining ship , the apoc.So after having spend many many months i finally got myself the thing i started for , a raven , and i lost that ship within the time span of max 4 hours ''hello ecp and beybey ecp '' .
My mind was blown and i was gazing at the screen for minutes wich seemed hours ... and then it hit me , the frustration was higher then i had experienced in any other mmorpg/game i had ever played and eve got me hooked for years and years to come.
Why this story?Because that is how ''vets'' got hooked into eve but today's ''players'' mostly do the opposite.Any game that can give you a downfeeling is thrown in the corner because of it being '' too frustrating'' as you play to relax from rl stuff where as the oldschool/and to some extent the exeptional newbro plays to get the thrills wich rl lacks.
Take away the frustration from backstabbing / ganking / steeling asshats you meet in your eve carreer and you end up with a game as blend as the other mmorpgs.All of the former are playstyles i haven't done myself and i doubt i ever would because of ''eve-bushido'' but if it was ever removed from the game i would immediatly cancel all my accounts.
But then i'm sure that one day that will happen and CCP will be ''forced'' to adapt to the general boredom that is mmorpg's these days.

Bobby is too much busy with making tea these days it seems  .
