I'm a casual player and i pay my GTC's with isk because i don't want to spend a monthly $30 (2 accounts) on a game.

Ok.

When you signed up to the game, it was on the understanding that a 15$ a month charge was required to keep an active account/subscription.

This is NOT a free to play mmo.

The 2nd point rather obviously, you don't need to have 2 account/characters, nobody forces the thirty dollars on you other than yourself, there is a 15$ a month charge to play, as a casual player im suprised you feel the need for 2 accounts?

If that's the main competitive spirit of this game you see i think you are playing the wrong game. Imho the main competitive spirit of this game is in its PVP (being better in fighting/trading or whatever you like)

Actualy (aside from the fact you failed to realise this isn't a free to play mmo) it's yourself that might be in the wrong game, as you fail totaly to understand the point of pvp/fighting over/trading ect in eve as opposed to most other mmo's

It's competition allright, thats what every Commodity and resource within the game is placed for.

The better at it you and your group are, the lesser the Opportunity for others, the best (money making) roids/complexes/sites/moons/regions/items be yours as the competition.

Thats what the game (eve) is touted as by the developers, and by it's greatest stalwards.


ofc who needs to compete for those resources when making money is as easy as paying your subscription fee's.


Thats where the spirt is totaly lost, you can and have the same Opportunity to replace your losses at the same rate as your opponent who holds the greater in game resources by way of buying isk.

You might as well be playing warcraft if all pvp is to you (or isk buyers) just shouting over braging rights, and not playing it to it's true nature, aka a game where loss, concequences of lack of effectiveness or actions matter to individuals or groups.


Thats what Eve online was before they allowed isk buying through timecode sales.
