Is it just me or have the isk sellers gone berserk lately? Rats leaving sinking ship? Anyways, earlier today was doing some missions when saw the ads again, and again...After docking started thinking am i just wasting time trying to get isk (slowly) by doing missions and and other stuff? Or even playing EVE?
I mean, why do missions when i could buy isk? Or mine, manufacture and sell when i could buy isk? Or research, copy and sell when i could buy isk? Why even subscribe? SINCE I COULD BUY ISK without paying CCP 14,95Ç a month.
<..heavy breathing..where did i throw keyboard? oh there..>
And now i can't undock. Heh, well of course i can, just wondering why i should.
Played Dark Age of Camelot some 4 years and towards end it seemed to be more and more Roll Character > Moderna Grav > LV50 PVPking on Broad "lol noobs!" ~ PM "hi m8! eh, how do i equip my weapons?". Reason for Emperor station being so cluttered? Ooh i'm in space in battleship! Hmm, how this works? Or maybe it's more relaxing to dig nose (or other cavities) in zero G? Yhh, just had an nauseating vision. 
So are isk buying/selling (don't think sellers even care, there will be other games) people hoping to see something like this in few years:
EVE Extreme Released! Pure 100% PVP! Only two systems! Choose a side and jump into instant action! (i.e. buy isk > buy ship > equip > JUMP > "ffs lag..lol lag..rotl..pwned.." > repeat).
Which would be a shame since this is really a great game. For example the 'leveling' system is best i've seen. Ok, basically your paying for little counter ticking time away. But so you pay in other games too, and in addition you have to kill mobs or do wharever to gain 'xp'. Thanks to EVE i will never grind again. Probably most idiotic way to waste this one life we have. If a doctor says "you got 3 months left, how are you planning to use it?" will you answer "I think i will kill same mobs over and over again!". Right..
Finally:
Selling isk is against EULA but how's the buying part? Can't win them so why not join them. Thinking about deactivating accout(s) until i need space fix again anyways. Maybe . What the heck, if i buy isk and get banned..not sure if i care.
Oh well, after all this whining i'll probably be on EVE tomorrow too. Still not rich but less bitter and confused. Better sleep over it i guess. Or play something. 
To possible comments concerning:
Corporations
Can't/will not join human corporation. Took me almost half a year to get Abaddon, and not gonna lose it because someone who has wealthy alt/buys isk declares wars because he/she is bored. So guild like social life is not an option in EVE. Still don't think EVE should be changed, possibility of losing ship kinda keeps one on toes. Ruthless like Nethack, but how rewarding would it be if you could save at each level? But hopefully in Conan one doesn't wake up naked in guild hall after dying in PVP..
Timecards
Someone who can probably fart 200M in hour gets to play free on my expense? Ain't happening. Rather buy isk from chinese if it comes to that. But how the hell they can have those amounts of isk for sale?!
Characters in other games:
Irrelevant. I've seen Cable Guy and don't need any "Whoo, let's be friends always in all games!" stuff. Or the opposite.

You buy, CCP takes.
example: you buy 2 bill, ccp will make your wallet turn into a pretty - 2 bill

You have some odd ideas about EvE.
I dislike ISK farmers and ISK buying as much as anyone. But what the hell, I still enjoy the game greatly and have all the ships I need (and more) without buying ISK. Don't buy ISK - it will just make the game worthless to you.
And you're really missing out by not joining a GOOD corp. Yes, many corps are run by people with unusual social skills and egos that can be seen for low orbit. But not all of them.
Without a corp, all you have to play for is to get more stuff. With a good corp., you have something to use that stuff for.
Trust me on this - I tried the lone wolf thing and it's just not as good as having friends in the game.
Why do you care about your Abbadon anyway? You're on the verge of quitting anyway, so why does it matter if you lose it?
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

The OP has just the right mix, of absolutely no clue, and hitting the nail on the head.

... to have fun? if i was subscribing with the purpose "to make ISK" i'd long be gone from EVE because if i was playing to earn money i'd rather make real life ISK in same time, at least it is, you know, real ...

If my doctors tells me I have 3 months to live the LAST game I am playing is EVE LOL!
"OH My! 3 Months! I have JUST enough time to train up to a Command Ship and get it insta-popped in low-sec! I better get right on it! Isk Grinding Here I come!" Um...No.
As for the Corp thing, I hear you there. If you do not have "friends" in the Corp to begin with it is probably a waste of time. Moreover, as you mentioned, you will be war decced eventually and the chances of having whatever you hold dear annihilated for kicks from someone who is bored in that scenario is rather high. (Unless you just do not undock anyway)
It is very annoying to know that you work your arse off for anything that someone else just throws RL $ into and gets in no time flat, that much I agree with 100%. I doubt CCP is not trying to kill the Isk Trade BS but where there is a will there is a way and the Isk Traders have a LOT of Will lol. Maybe you should make it your life-long EvE goal to annhilate them whenever, whereever you can. A lot do it, it is fun and profitable if you snag the Mission Runners.

This game is becoming too ISK centered. Long gone are the days when you could hop into a cheap ship and roam without meeting 15 Recons, 10 HAcs and 7 Command Ships on the way...
