i feel eve sub of 15$ per month aint worth it until you get to the later game,

it aint about the 15$....its about the principle.....you could say hey, if you dont have 30$ to buy this box of matches then you have other things to worry abotu in life....thats not the point, point is value for your money....you aint gonna pay something 100 times more than its worth although you can technically afford it right? i feel eve sub of 15$ per month aint worth it until you get to the later game, and maybe even then its questionable if its too high for the general population of part time players.

Eve success and longevity is BECAUSE it is not like Most MMOs.

And no... there is no "later in the game" or "endgame" in EVE.

Skills and ships simply give you more options and makes things a little easier / more comfortable. Nothing more or less.

If you want to go out and do something, DO IT. The game is not mechanically holding you back.

this is just BS, lol.

hello guys. i played eve really hardcore from 2003 to 2010 then finally quit since i saw it chewing my life away. Now i saw the alpha stuffz and said why not, ill give it a go....

so far my alpha experience is that i only have motivation to log in on the 2 accounts i made to put skills into training...what im really wondering is... why would an alpha have a 2x slower training time? is seems like its bait ccp made ...if you sub you train up 2 times faster blabla so sub right now... because for me the plan is to get some skills first to actually start playing the game properly....so now i need what, 6 months to train up the full skills of alpha and then maybe think of a sub? why not speed up the tempo....i might resub 3 months earlier if i maxed out my alpha skills faster, plus i would explore the game again much faster too and keep interest in it more since im getting more toys faster....kinda feels like a 2x slower training for alphas backfires a bit here....and especially for returning players that have basically seen it all in eve already....

second, and i kinda support the op's idea....15Gé¼ per month is a bit steep for a noob account....i like the idea that you could pay like 3Gé¼ per month and get the lets say 7 mil sp package...5Gé¼ for 13mil sp etc etc....with 15Gé¼ being the full skillset of the game if you want it....at low skillspoints it feels like the game is just not worth the full subscription when your running around in your little destroyer for 4 months with your d!ck out playing with your colouring pens with the other kids in the kindergarten...

i always thought this game would go bananas in popularity, population and overall fun factor if the subscription was like 40-50% cheaper in general...and i know many others that would still play it if it was, if nothing else to skill up their chars...but that always means that they are sooner or later back in the game...this way alot of people just quit since its not worth it being a part time eve subscriber.

its not mechanically holding me back? whaa? thats exactly what it does....thats exacrtly why ccp limits alpha accounts and thats exactly why they want to sell me full sub - so i am not mechanically held back in the game.

ok dood like i said....i played for 7 years about 10 hours a day....spare me the lectures......if you wanna test it lets do a test.....ill play your account for a month youll play mine....and tell me its tooootally the same for you to play a 500k sp char flapping hid d!ck in highsec/lowsec in a t1 fitted rifter or your 30+ million one thats already heavily integrated into the game tropugh the years and can fly mostly everything there is and fit any role ....yea...there is no later game...nope...zilch...toooootaly same

were talking abour returning players here.....that have basically seen it all in the game...and no, they aint gonna be impressed again for a loong time.
