Now, I may be missing something. But, I don't have hours upon hours to spend online grinding isk just so I can accumulate enough to have fun. Anyone that says they are having fun grinding isk; whatever manner that may be is either a carebear or lying to themselves. I have a real life and that doesn't include spending my cash for a plex that buys me a few hacs or w/e. RMT? If that's not the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is.
I really don't find it feasable to bring a t1 cruiser when everyone else is flying hacs, etc. I don't care how good a pilot you are. Even Garmon's alts in ruppys will get pwned by a decent fleet within seconds.
Hopefully, that new planet stuff ccp is working on will be of some help and not require many hrs./isk invested on it to get some up and running factories. Rather, try to be of some help. Until all the morons price themselves out of the market.
How to fix the problems? Not sure. But, wouldn't eliminating GTC's and 30 plex's be a good start. Then, make invention something that works. Require less moon goo materials to build t2 ships. How bout some insurance for t2 ships. Any or all those suggestions will drastically fix many problems eve has.
Seen many frustrated friends leave due to the current struture.
Now, can something be done?

True that. Loss in Eve means something because you LOOSE it when the ship explodes. If you want cheaper explosions without effort, those explosions wont mean that much.. also around you there seem to be some wealthy guys. Try to get some iskies from them if you can't be bothered to earn your own.
If nothing of that helps - Sisi is that way >>
PS: you can be pretty sure that planets won't be rolling in the isk if they can be even more passive then POS - simply as everyone will be doing it.

no eliminating gtc's and plexes would not be a good idea. RMT's used to be a much greater problem, that they tooks a massive load on CCP's servers plus the fact that if they were eliminated RMT's would invade the game again to supply those not willing to figure out how to make money. that means putting subscribers at risk of real-life theft and account suspension. the current plex system helps the developers since RL-money being spent for ingame stuff, goes directly to CCP and that money goes into improving the game further. Why do think that the game has a massive intake of subs since Quantum rise?
Finding enough isk to pay for a months time, really isnt that hard. I came make enough to buy a plex in about 8 hours just missioning, while there are even more profitable ventures out there. mind you, you got 30 more days to make up enough to play for another month. so I think finding 8hrs in 30 days to do some boring-butt missions is time worth spending to play a game of such scope for free (technically).
If it was me, I would want to fly a tech 1 cruiser in a hac gang. being perceived of a low priority target means i actually get on kills. tech 2 ships dont provide such a great advantage over tech 1 ships as you might be lead to believe. You might be paying 20x an amount for a ship with only a 10% boost in performance; when in reality that 10% is only noticeable when your flying solo, and barely anyone does that today. the only tech 2 cruiser hulls that i think are worth that amount of money are recon ships.

Yeah I hate spending 2-3 hours per month moving stuff between my POS towersWill definately have to stop doing it and buy 10 plexes per month instead!
Dude, its incredible easy to make a fortune in EVE, the only thing keeping you from it is your fear of losing stuff. Cowards are poor in EVE, because they dont go out and take their chances in areas were people might shoot at them.

I think you need to join a large Corp or Alliance that has a T1 ship supply and replacement policy. Train your skills up to battle-cruisers and fly them with T2 fittings - medium T2 fittings and rigs are pretty affordable or go for decent named ones.
Many larger corps/alliances will happily give you ships to fly so long as you follow orders and arn't a dooshbag - it's a small cost to them to produce the ships.
Also, if you're in a 0.0 alliance then nullsec ratting is somewhat sweet in the isk dept.
If you tell me "I want to be solo" then that's the price you pay for being a lone wolf. That's life.

Edited by: Lexx Khadar on 24/03/2010 11:09:05 So your complaining about the difference of resources you a single player can field compared to a fleet? Maybe the fleet can afford shiny expensive things because they work together as a corp to afford it. If you get together with people and make isk together you can make far more than working alone.
The fixes you suggest have the chance to either/and destroy the economy as well as stop many people from playing due to not being able to pay with isk. If you need hours and hours to grind isk then your doing it wrong. And I don't think planetary interactions going to make for a free meal either. We have already been told it'll need financial and new skillbooks investment just to get started in it.
The markets working fine as it is. People try to scam you and some people try to manipulate it and corner it. But it does its job all the same. Maybe your just looking at the game wrong. You've made yourself think that your only useful when you bring the most expensive/shiniest ships and fittings to a fight by the sounds of it. Which time and again is wrong. unless you have a experienced fleet members with you and a good ship composition you'll just make yourself a target.
One thing I do agree with is insurance needing changed. I think insurance should be dynamically based on ship prices across all empire regions. If the average price of the ship goes up so does the insurance and vice versa. Letting it fluctuate with the market. Maybe the same for modules if that doesn't create too much database strain. OR to limit that make it take the averages once a week just before a downtime.
Ship loss means something in this game. As the old adage goes. Only fly what you can afford to lose.

Solution: (a) Find something which makes more ISK. OR (b) Do not fly HACs.
Problem solved.
Now, I want cheaper HACs because I like killing HACs, but eh, asking CCP to make changes to something just because you can't afford it is silly, particualrly when you consider how easy it is to make ISK.

Well I dont think EVE is too expensive for someone who has a job. I can understand it might be for students. Going to a bar in the evening having a couple of drinks sure is far more expensive. So I have my drinks at home, roaming the universe.....

Since I am a rocket scientist (no joke) I guess I am not the one to comment.
But, EVE is not an instant gratification game.
You just need to intelligently manage your resources in game, and also get rid of the notion that grinding isk like any other MMO is how to best make you rich. This strategy is just not that relevant to EVE unless you for some reason want to be alone and like spending hours upon hours grinding. With minimum team effort you can make a lot more isk then you can alone.
How about getting your fustrated friends to actually band togheter and work towards a common goal? EVE rewards the ones with some creativity and some boldness, and really punishes thoose who think the game will just provide for you just like that.
And why fly HACs if you think it costs too much? Fly BCs.
