Eve Online: Incursion Detected Derelik Region (large screenshots)

You're aware that I only act dumb to be annoying, right?

Anyways. I mean. It sounds good and all, but the monthly fee sounds pretty lame. And if the only way to get good is based on experience, then, I mean, I'll need more than 20 days... so maybe later.

The skills you train just train automatically after a given amount of time, and eventually the time it takes to get to the next level of a skill becomes pretty absurd. It seemed to me like you would need to keep an account active just for the sake of training skills, and playing the game would probably become a secondary feature.

It would take some 18 years to max out every skill in the game with max implants that give bonuses to training times. You do not need level 5 skills to be effective in the game.

Indeed. Still, training (at least a large part of) one subset of skills (e.g. Gunnery) to level 5 is a good way to make things less painful. That is, at least if your intentions are to make enough money to buy one PLEX per month as a by-product of having fun.

Monthly fee >> pay 2 win
And when we're talking about a single shard universe with 30,000 concurrent users, it's not cheap to maintain, so no, it's not a false dichotomy.

I said nothing about pay 2 win.
Holy fucknuggets, it's like none of you have ever touched Imagine before.

I just explained why there are only two plausible possibilities.
