what kills the casual gamer is: Time sinks.
All the time sinks in the game that add nothing to the game at all.
1. Warping.. how much time have you wasted staring at the warp screen? Whats the point?
2. Fitting a ship with the current market. If I want to fit out a ship I have to run all over space finding the mods I need to fit out a ship. All the time traveling to 50 star gates and back to fit out a ship is a waste of time. Unless you only live in a trade-hub, you will need to travel to pick up some stupid mod for you're ship.
There are tons of little time sinks in the game that kill my ability to play the game cause I'm just not un-employed enough to play this game.
The time investment eve asks is ridiculous.

a casual gamer doesn't have the isk to buy in bulk....
i joined RVB with an alt and moved 100 of 1 of each race frigates and all the t1/t2 mods needed to fit those frigates...well most of them.
I spent 800Million isk buying the T1 frigates and mods in Jita and moving them to the RVB system. I played for 2 weeks till I got bored and then forgot about the account for a year and a half. I just recently logged in and sold all the frigates/mods for 600Million isk.
I've got isk to blow in the game, I don't care, but the casual gamer doesn't have isk like that. Not everyone has tens of billions of isk to play with.
I don't see a casual gamer spending 500million on mods at a time. Where is he getting that kind of isk from?
We are talking casual gamer here, not veteran player with multi accounts.
I can casually make a billion or two a week in game logging in 1 hour or so a day but I know what I'm doing and have the account(s) and experience/skill points, to do so.
Of all the expansions since i've played this game, 1 change i noticed was the removal of the session change to change ships in the station. That was miserable for the longest time and adds nothing at all the the game what so ever...... You remember docking and staring at you're screen for ever waiting to change ships????? F-. |

I heard something about ccp linking the fitting window to the eve market or something. something about an option where you can autobuy everything in the fitting window from the market...this can work if you are docked in dodixie/jita/rens/oursalurt/etc and have you're market filter set to "in station" only.
You are still "SOL" if you aren't in jita 4 station.
I would like to have NPC haulers in game that deliver mods to you for a fee. These haulers won't hurt market haulers who buy low in jita and rip you off in you're mission hub. The npc hauler would be limited to the region and/or 8 jumps etc. (whatever)
I'd also like npc haulers who would haul ore for you're miner main character in high sec so you don't have to have a second account just to haul ore in a badger 2. Ya sure.....you COULD ask a corpmate to haul for you ..but you can crap in one hand and hope in the other and see which hand fills up faster.....
The redfrog (?) and various market hauler bots would still make their tens of millions.
Making the game complex is great, there is nothing complex about time sinks.
There is nothing complex about: warp to 0/jump/warp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jump.......Dock/put comic books, mountain dew in cargo hold undock and...warp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jump/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jump/jumpwarp to 0/jumpwarp to 0/jump dock. |
