First of all, hoeing is life, beeing a lord is just boring.
Anyways, some useless bittervet comments in this thread I see. Either completely out of touch with realities, or just such a carebear that the comments probably makes sense to him.
The realities are that if you are just a normal guy with a normal life and just want to PVP in wormholes you will NOT be space rich by any means, many will in fact struggle. Sure thing, all you cool awesome dudes out there that say it’s easy to become space rich in j-space are right. It is, no doubt about it. There are riches everywhere you look. That is if you are a carebear, or if you have tons of time on your hands! Please for the love of God, don’t call yourself a pvp’er if the majority of your time is spent on making isk, talking smack on comms or planning the next awesome TIDI fest. Don’t get me wrong, all kinds of gameplay and styles are cool, including floating aimlessly in space shooting sleepers in the face, or criss-crossing your system endlessly in your epithal. Cool cool bro, you will be rich. If your leaders and FC’s call fleets the majority of the time you are logged in you will not be rich (but you will be a happy pvp’er). At best you will be doing ok if you are a reasonably structured guy, have a few hours to spare in your normal busy RL and, on the rare occasion, have the balls to tell your FC to kindly piss off with his fleet for once.
So please save your “All you wormholers are/should be filthy rich stop crying” If you live in wormholes to pew it’s not the realities, not even close. If you are a carebear or just in it for the memes you are golden.
So, cliff notes for the lazy;
The health of wormhole space all boils down to balancing prey and predators. “Rich” should never be the goal of a pvp’er, how silly. But they gotta eat.
