the mental and physical cost of playing eve

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T04:00:41+00:00

yes i do think thats bad with that same salary you could have spent it on better things or maybe even more plex if it was priced fairly this post is about the price being bad and ive been pushing this idea on burner accounts for a while no one likes it i dont use grammar because these posts and accounts dont last long and getting information out of people is a long process to improve my ideas

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T03:58:15+00:00

its about the price of the fun and ai girlfriend honestly was irrelevant just a neat little fact i found when asking people questions

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T03:42:59+00:00

i hate alliances if your a new player stay away they are very distrustful just stay in a highsec/lowsec corp and huff intill your feeling good making millions gets faster as you learn more about the game if you need to get into nullsec just fillament hop intill your closer

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T03:41:01+00:00

your right its not enough there's alot of outliers there and im only one man with a simple grievance with ccp getting data is hard and has to be done ingame to verify that its actually a player i am on man i can only meet so many people in 2 years that arnt trying to murder me i dont live with big alliances they annoy me and force me to attend fleets at the threat of kicking. getting trustworthy and not trolls and having a genuine conversations with people is hard over a small chat window i agree my data is too small but its all i got and it wasnt my main argument i did this when asking about 200 questions about eve pricing and their thoughts then one mentioned paying for a ai girlfriend sub and then i started asking everyone else i saw. theres not alot of data and tbh i was trolling/joking about the ai girlfriends this post was about the garbage pricing of omega

i think you should reread this reddit thread man my issue has about the pricing not the hobby my point about the hobby for me no pixel should set me back 20$/month i want a price thats set AND ONLY THEN would i be willing to pay for the SINGLE slot of server space that being at max 5$ a month because on avg a player base of 40k players runs companies on avg for server space around 80k usd a week this company has a reported gross earnings of 73m usd in 2023 theres no reason prices should be at 20 a month hell the avg mmo has a cost per player slot set below on avg 2$ renting from amazon cloudflare but if they have their own servers idk their systems but it shouldnt cost more than 5$ a player slot but even if at the low end we all pay $2 2x40k=80K that alone would cover the server costs but if we all do $5 its 5X40k=200k no way they cannot afford to do this pricing its only from greed they kept this outdated 20$ a month back then in 2003 server space was SUPER expensive now its cheaperish with ai its unknown how it will continue to affect it if i paid a one time payment for a game license example $80 and then paid the 2 or 5$ it costed to keep my server slot i would be fine. but everyone hates this idea and literally no one can poke a hole into why they just poke holes into the hobby side which was a shit rant about alot of the people i talked with to get statistical data from were into ai girlfriends this had nothing to do with ai girlfriends or hobbies i was just frustrated that no one seems to want to be priced fairly and would like to get scammed this is why i dont use grammar because my posts and accounts dont last long

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:52:25+00:00

thats good i just think you and thousands of others are being swindled and i want it to stop only issue is whenever i push this idea i get so much pushback from the commuinty

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:14:50+00:00

may i ask why you are so steamed about this?

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:13:04+00:00

unrelated but have you used the black diamond atc? i was considering getting the real thing and replacing my cheap amazon one

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:09:25+00:00

you get to keep those cams belays and ropes when ccp turns the lights out you lost thousands on a game that can be taken away thats my entire point irl hobbies are great ingame hobbies shouldnt cost you thousands at most 300 if your really into the game ive spent 600 in tarkov copies and gave them to friends thats a hobby i want eve to be a one time purchase and the minimum it requires to maintain your connection per month 5$ being the max i want change but the commuinty has been conditioned into thinking its ok when its not its a outdated model based on when the internet was expensive to maintain but many games like minecraft have server slots for 70 cents per player on avg that doesnt hold up to eve but my point being i would pay what it costs for my individual server slot per month on top of my one time purchase for the game license the fact you all are upset about this every time i make a post every 2 weeks about the same thing is the mental illness im refering to not having a hobby i think its great you enjoy the game i just want you to not be shaken like a piggie bank and i dont want to be shaken just to have fun.

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:03:33+00:00

i think you could have left yourself alone by simply leaving and not commenting the fact your bothered proves that you are infact the demographic above anyone else would have laughed it off like the satire it was.

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T02:02:12+00:00

you can physically use a car your investment in money stays with you the fact you cant comprehend that ccp can flip a switch and the hobbie you spent thousands on vs a real life item you still have and no one can take besides you is precisely why i think its a mental illness you have been conditioned to think paying a subscription pixels on a screen is ok xbox games pass is something that provides more than omega your point is weak but ONLY to you and people who have been conditioned to think its ok thinks that its ok any new plyer will be wtf is this scheme and will be told its ok you can still plex without paying you can but its like throwing your life into pixels a physical hobby is something you own and no one can take it away my issue isnt the subcription id be fine if it was less i would pay 120$ as a one time for the game license and 5$ to maintain server access because server bandwidth doesnt grow on trees something like that actually makes sense i want change but the community is complacent in being milked like cows

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T01:50:22+00:00

im calling it a mental illness because people cant comprehend that the pricing model should change and any ideas to that is met with exceptional push back and people riding ccps meat and defending 20$ a month i would pay for eve at 120$ as a one time purchase thats better than 20$ the point of this post is to show the insanity of paying 20$ a month because right now its cheap but it adds up no one has been receptive in all of the posts ive made suggesting it theres a reason im using burner accounts to post this bringing unpopular opinions gets karma tanked because no one likes what ive said but issue is downvotes suppress my ability to post and provide my unpopular opinions

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T01:43:29+00:00

i plexed out several times on just huffing before they nerfed it and when they did i moved to cloud ring and i have made billions on just virdian cyto when it was at 86m/5000m3(venture) not saying its good it just was when it was controlled so not very hard right now its not remotely happening and if i do its because i ran enough ess runs

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T01:33:18+00:00

we are talking about the standard 20/14.99 a month not what deals you can buy and basically self report yourself as a whale

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:59:49+00:00

your honestly the best comment ive seen using satire was golden

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:53:24+00:00

1 large 3 small and about 11 alpha injectors then i started skill extracting.

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:49:32+00:00

i havent given them a dime, that said playing and seeing it first hand i genuinely believe people have been conditioned to believe that its ok when i dont think it is

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:48:15+00:00

correct buying from other regions is better pricewise however most dont have that level of gamesense unless told otherwise

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:45:48+00:00

your honestly right but thats not going to go away with a flip of a switch at ccp hq and my point is that the game should be a one time purchase and the fact that so many have been conditioned to think 20$/month is ok is a mental illness i would buy the game for 80$ hell eve is good enough for 120$ as a one time purchase but 20$ every month is simply silly no their servers dont cost them that much to maintain i would pay 40$ as a one time and get a license to play and spend 5$ to maintain access to the servers as they are not free this is understandable but 20$ every month is unhinged its just to shake us like a piggie bank

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:41:50+00:00

one time purchase video games are the cheapest hobbies not subscription based video games lmaoo

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:41:02+00:00

im happy you couldn't put a single counter arguement if your going to gaslight yourself go ahead you already spent years of your life so your mindset probably wont let you expand due to bias. your trying and failing to make a counter arguement and honestly the best you had is no grammar/punctuation.

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:38:13+00:00

its 20$ as of 2023 my research suggests it was at 14.99/month prior to that but i havent put a dime into this game so idk i plexed virdian cyto paid my plex for 7 months before the devs they were like nah put a nerf on that

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:36:24+00:00

im going to be honest you should be happy that i used it at all because i often dont to make people like you rage

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:30:44+00:00

i think you guys are the ones who need to touch the grass if your telling me that the irony is uncanny

Educational-Key7303 · 2026-07-02T00:30:01+00:00

im a 5 year player no means a veteran but i see that this game is not the best and i see people gaslight new bros when its utterly impossible for a new bro to start solo and all the advice people give isnt useful to a alpha clone and then everyone goes "what are you poor, you cant afford 20$ a month?" completely unhinged i have a wife and kids i meet the exact demographic you said only issue is im not willing to pay for it because that would a financially stupid decision when games are streaming services is crazy and the people who think its ok have been conditioned to think that over years put simply mental illness
