EVE has always been free to play if you aren't bad.
As far as my time goes I remote desktop from work and AFK rat so touche.
I have a career that doesn't allow playing games in the workplace.
That apparently makes me bad ...bad what, BTW?
Nah, take mah money, CCP!

**Raises hand**
Serious question here.
What's CBA?
I googled it and found:
Community Bankers Association of Georgia
Continental Basketball Association
Christian Booksellers Assosiation
And more associations...
Somehow I think this might be millennial-interweb-speak.
Please enlightened the uninformed.
Thanks,
Gadget - feeling old

You could have used that billion to buy something else. Saying a PLEX bought from the spoils of one month of AFK ratting is "free" is the same as saying that Carriers are free. If Carriers are free, why doesn't everybody have some, just for ***** and giggles?
If you give something (no matter what or how you got it) to get something, that something is not free. You could argue that Eve is not very expensive. That would be very subjective but hard to refute. But when you say it's free, you are mistaken. People in this game convolute opportunity cost to justify spending their RL money pixels worse than any other game I've played. At least when someone buys skins in real free to play games they don't have to try to lie to themselves about it and just call it a waste of money on a hobby. In EVE you tryhards think you are going fool anyone else as bad as you fool yourself into believing dropping 200 bucks on PLEX is actually a proactive thing in your life so you don't spend 3 months grinding out a super. Ya right...

This apparently has moved to a rant.
EvE is worth exactly how much I pay for it in time, cash, and will.

Go to the grocery store and ask them if you can give your time or will to put food on the table.
GO is the key word there.
To get groceries, I need to spend Time (getting there), Cash (someone's... almost always mine), and Will (meh, I'll go later).

WRONG AGAIN It actually means "Can't be arsed/assed". If you're wrong about that, what are the odds that you're mistaken (quite seriously) in this thread?
