Imagine thinking this game is about shooting other players and not about collecting rare virtual items. How ridiculous.

Are you space poor or something and this is your excuse?

Why would you shoot other players? For virtual killmails no one cares about?

> [@Vuhdo\_Rin](#):

> no, your not the golden pod because lot of ppl can buy the golden pod 😉

I identify as a golden pod.

You are probably a wooden pod which represents your social staus in this rare virual space items collectable game as a space poor.

i know you only play this game because you think youre the best if you collect useless items 😉  
if you want it → do it !  
is it helpful ? → no !  
is it useful ? → no !  
does this improce anything ? → no !

wood is way better then gold xD you cant build anything from gold that has any stability ( as we can see by you 🙂 but wood is strong ! you can build usefull stuff from wood ! gold is only a think if you want to compansate your little wheeny 😉

**“Sentimental”** value they say.

" **Historical"** value they say.

**“Investment”** value they say.

All hogwash to keep the prices high and the item exclusive vs the masses.

It’s just a ship skin like the rest.

it is still limited you douche bag…

we got them for free with the 10th anniversay, this year is the 20th and you have to pay for them…at the 30 yr mark if we make it that far, these items prolly wont even get looked at for distribution.

If I had only useless cosmetics like you, I would not want to identify with them either. You probably don’t even have a golden pod.

Everyone plays this game to collect rare valuable digital items they actually own.

The difference between you and me is that I own countless highly valuable and extremely rare digital items (including a golden pod, which defines my sexual identity) and you own basics skins they give out for free to the poor, so you can switch the color of your ship from light brown to poo brown to display your social status in the world of EVE to others.

The “I just shoot space ships” is just a lame excuse of people who completely failed in the current collectable meta.

This is basically my retirement fund. Once Hilmar converts all my rare digital valuables into NFTs, I can cash out and buy a real space ship to Mars

Notice how he didn’t even know about the 7 days omega, indicating he doesn’t actually play the game. Yet he’s crying, raging and whining about space pixels and space honoure. In fact he just can’t stop posting.

Meh. The ‘Eve is dead’ crowd will always conjure up some excuse when the traffic rises. Free SP, or Omega week, or vast armies of alts, or whatever. Fact is, the traffic was already rising even without any of that.

Wanna make a bet that after the free omega expires (which is 28th), there won’t be 36000 online at following weekend?

I will bet 2b on that. If you can’t even it up then the highest you can go.

Actually, they aren’t. They are mandated by law to benefit stakeholders. Is just a recent trend to imply that shareholder \<=\> stakeholders. In reality clients are also stakeholders. Workers as well. And so are shareholders.

thats to easy … clear it will drop a bit ! nobody said they didnt effect the online playerbase !

but they arent the reason why the player count goes up … you would known this if you watch the data… since 1st october the numbers going up constantly ! and there wasnt a 7 day free omega !

nobody else then CCP can say why the player count goes up !

“Supply and demand / free market” enjoyers when their speculative digital asset incurs risk by losing artificial scarcity.

I’ve had my golden pod skin for ten years since buying the special edition. That means I’ve also lost any sort of benefit from the DUST 514 skins, the Templar Mk. II that never even made it into Valkyrie, the Gnosis ships that they’ve since handed out like free candy, and the mystery pass that they stopped supporting. Yeah it sucks that theres not much to show off anymore to signal that you’ve been a long time player that chose to support the company back then… Wanting something for your character is completely understandable. Grabbing up these digital items to sit on them like an NFT for a decade to play the economy then freaking out when you lose that gamble? Ehh. I could honestly care less.

but why do you need to show it ? only one who needs to know is CCP ! and i can guarantee they know it ! if you want to show it to the whole eve community then its only youe ego who wants to show it ! i

it is a confirmation of your ego and nothing more.

yes it is ! but still its only for your ego, and as you start to understand this then you can get over it and lough at it if you “loose” something.

Materialism and nostalgia are for losers and suckers but I’m still a vapid, sentimental slave to my fashion. I’ve made peace with the fact that my ego makes up part of the wider tapestry of the masses but individual aesthetics helps color that tapestry to prevent us from becoming undifferentiated consumers to be processed like cattle.

At least, thats what I tell myself, I’m not a monk and getting enough shrooms for ego death is too expensive. The truth is EVE at its core is the story of _your character_ in the wider world and one of the easiest ways to communicate what your guy is all about at a glance is cosmetics. So I’ll never get the cosmetic monkey off my back.

> [@Mr\_Epeen](#):

> Exactly how much less could you care?

Yeah. I was mulling over my word choice there and if that would peeve anyone off. But like. I think it works still. Some _marginal_ part of me cares and could probably empathize if I wanted to, but its not worth the effort getting bent outta shape over. I care _some_ but way too little to do anything about it.

And can’t we all relate to that feeling?
