It -is- too easy to make ISK.
The reason people claim to be poor is because they don't like spending time making ISK, because it's not as fun as PVPing, and because people ONLY fit t2 and refuse to fly cheap (How many t1 cruisers/frigs piloted by non-noobs do you see?) People then go, take these ships and get them blown up for no real reason. CCP's goals are:
-PVP isn't PVP just for PVP's sake, PVP instead as something to protect your income source. Straight from CCP Dionysus. CCP Zulupark also mentioned that the primary income source for combat pilot (Hisec missions )were imbalanced. I believe CCP's goal is that people PVP not just forthelulz but for territory and such, even in lowsec.
-Make PVE more interesting. They're improving the AI and trying to make PVE interesting as well (through better mission arcs, improved AI, etc), so it's not so incredibly boring and grindy.
I think what they mean by "Too right" is that having low ISK just means you need to go back and grind a bit in hisec for a few hours to rebuy your ship of choice. I think they want to change it according to what I said above so that it's not such a grind, and it's not just mindless grindtime since you'd be doing it out of hisec
**** If my interpretation of CCP's goals and changes is incorrect, CCP, please feel free to bow before me and apologize for making your intents not as clear as they should be. Don't worry, I'll forgive you.
people play to have fun, not to grind 80% of their time away.
anyone that puts their mind to it can make isk but it requires so much time
that the game loses its appeal. many have found a balance between how poor they are willing to be and how much they are willing to grind.
the rich ones use GTC (there are WAY more of these than admit it) or are
part of an alliance with moons and resources that most don't have. character farming
is another source of isk. look at the volume of posts in the gtc and bazaar forums.
players are doing just about everything they can to avoid grinding BECAUSE ITS NOT FUN.
CCP can think whatever they want about ISK and how easy it is. when the game
is no longer fun, I will stop playing.
