I've long wanted to encapsulate these thoughts on contemporary safe spots. Sadly, this issue is terribly unimportant, and who the hell plays EVE in 2024, am I right? But the fire burns inside me nonetheless. And now it burns inside you as well. Bobspeed, Capsuleer.

EVE would have been great if CCP wrent so greedy. Its just too expel sive to be fun. Paying this kind of money, for a game every month turns a game into a job that you feel you have to play, even when you'd rather try something else, just to get the subscriptions worth out of it.

Tbf, it really started to go downhill, when they got bought up.

I am generally in favor of a subscription model as opposed to the whole loot box crap, cause you know beforehand what you get and what it costs. Yes, it creates some FOMO, but this was partly balanced out by the passive skill training system.

Its just too expel sive to be fun.

I have a reoccurring "nightmare" in which I try to get back into EVE, log in, notice I logged out in a high value ship in the middle of null sec and struggle with the overview. Had a lot of fun playing for a couple of years, though.

The only reason why i am frustrated is also because i indeed had fun with it for quite some time. I even had multiple paid accounts at some time.

Now i feel its too pricy.
