    sure, that’s a valid critique, and based on your objective experience.

    however, compare your experience with other games that could be interpreted as “abusive pay for play systems”. You’re paying for the monthly game subscription similar to other MMOs, rather than a pay to win system based on microtransactions or other predatory practices.

    From an outsiders perspective, what I’ve heard about Eve and their payment model, it seemed more fair and two way than most other games.

      So you haven’t played eve right? It is way more predatory than just paying a subscription. A lot of people doing PVP are pouring money into their account to buy ships they don’t have time to farm for

        The simple answer is to not do pvp then. Majority of Pvpers have been sublimenting their income since way before RMT was a thing in Eve. You can make enough money to do quite a bit of Pvp for just a few hours of farming or trading if you know what you are doing but some people will always prefer doing RMT whether it’s allowed or not. Has nothing to do with CCP.
