Don't worry, I've gone from 6-7 accounts to 15 in the last year so I'm picking up the slack from your poverty stricken acquaintances.

Are you sure these people aren't just bad at the game?
I ask because if they've been mining for income during a period of very low mineral prices only to stop that activity when the mineral prices shoot through the roof then then might be, you know, "special".
Missions have been a terrible way to make isk for a long time too, so I'd have to wonder why they hadn't moved on to something better long before now.

This is nothing new, people have been quitting EVE because they find it too hard since the game launched. That doesn't mean we should make it easier in order to retain these people. You have to remember that a lot of EVE's most loyal and long term players are so because of the relatively challenging nature of the game.

Ok, you have issues here.
Firstly, I'm not sure what your definition of "real manufacturers" are but it appears from this paragraph that they are people who manually gather the materials. The word "manufacturer" seems to have been miss-applied here.
Secondly, you don't seem to understand what an isk sink is. An isk sink is something that removes isk from the game. It is not something that removes isk from an individual players wallet and relocates it to another players wallet. It is not something that destroys a product that was purchased with isk.
Thirdly, you don't seem to understand the concept of opportunity cost and therefore appear to believe that minerals acquired from alternative sources somehow cost less than those purchased from the market.
I think that maybe you should spend less time posting on the forums and more time trying to improve yourself intellectually, because posting isn't going to improve your situation. |
