Cool, do you feel better now?
Donât underestimate the Sunken Cost Fallacy. When these people began their Eve carreer, it might just have been different. When I started playing it certainly was not paid to win, as you couldnât get SP with $ or ⏠back then. Another aspect is the fact you can kill a Battleship with a Frigate if you know what you are doing (the âbigger is not betterâ aspect of the game). While that aspect is still true (AFAIK) you are indeed able to âwinâ in PVE & PVP by throwing more money at the game these days. Not having to do this and still have a good time is a symptom of having enough SP to diversify activities to keep things fresh.
Iâm not the one who needs salve, friend. I am just fine, you seem to be the one having issues.
Can I have your stuff?
I just type numbers into the market and I get billions of isk in return.
Yeah, sure thing there buddy.
Do you usually go around calling people names?
You must have a lot of friends, yes?
Yeah, you do.
Continue to have a great life.
Bye
And you make that starting this year, yes?
Nobody cares.
Thank you for caring enough to reply.

CCP has the mantra that information is to be found, not given, when it comes to eve. very little has been given out by ccp, most everything you find on eve wiki, eve survival, etc⌠has been player found, cause thats how CCP has wanted this game to be.
There is 18 years of information on the interwebz about eve online⌠its up to you to find it.

Youâre welcome. That was just an FYI.
Itâs just a game. No need to get all emotional about it. Be happy that you only spent âŹ30 and then realized the game wasnât for you.
Imagine playing for two or three years all on Omega and then rage-quitting. It wouldâve hurt a lot more.
I hope you find a game that entertains you AND is easier for you, theyâre out there.
Try Elite, it may be more to your taste.

Yeah, problem with me is that I am stubborn. And hate to fail. So I will push through probably justt to find a way. But ef me if I ever saw less interested devs in my life.
I called you no names.
Yes, many. Most irl but a few in EvE, even.
So players who are not crushed emotionally and mentally by a video game are âelitistâ in your view? Ok⌠Real life is so much harder than a video game, people should be embarrassed how they mewl and thrash about in âagonyâ over a video game.

i didnât see you call him any names eitherâŚ
While thereâs probably a good mix of opinions on exactly how engaged CCPâs dev team is, one thing I can guarantee is that you are experiencing the early stages of the game exactly how it was intended to be.
I do, however find it interesting that you claim Eve is pay to win, and yet you paid over the odds for your Plex and skill injection, and did not win. Does this not demonstrate to you that while Eve offers ways to spend more money, it does not guarantee that that money spent will result in progress in the game?

To the OP, Have you tried begging?
There is good ISK to be made by begging in trade hub systems.
Launch a few fireworks outside a trade hub station and request that people throw some ISK your way for the performance.
Then weave some of your killmail losses into the begging script to prove how poor you are

Do you still have the 90m for trading? Could do station trading with buying from buy orders and creating sell orders. Or buying from one trade hub and selling in another trade hub.
I made 300 mil in 14h versus 90 in 9. What are you talking about?
Nobody likes to fail and I donât call it âfailâ in a video game, I call it a missed opportunity.
Itâs not that important. If itâs not fun for you just play another game. There is no shame in acknowledging that a game isnât for you. Lots of people play Battlefield, I donât, itâs not for me.
Thatâs another topic for another thread. Lots of players donât hold EVEâs Devs in their heart.
Any rudimentary Google search like âstay alive null-secâ or ânull sec dangerousâ or âavoid lose ship EVEâ would point you to wikis and videos explaining these various game mechanics. How you managed to find nothing after a whole week of searching is beyond me.
The fact that, as a gamer, you didnât at least assume that an open-world PvP game (you at least knew that EVE was an open-world PvP game, right?) with a science fiction space theme would have various gameplay mechanics like cloaking and electronic countermeasures means you need to reevaluate how you play games in general. You were literally using a cloaking device yourself, for the purpose of avoiding other players, and assumed that other players wouldnât do the same to you.
Additionally, you ignored your own instinct to drop off your loot at reasonable intervals and chose instead to hoard it in your cargo based on convenience alone. You knew that the possibility of danger existed, otherwise you wouldnât have brought this up just now. It was your judgement call to not act on this when you had the chance because you assumed that you could deal with any danger in the absence of knowledge of game mechanics like cloaking. This means that you ignored the possibility that someone else couldâve simply outplayed you, which is a very likely scenario in a game with tens of thousands of players logged in at a time. Even if cloaking didnât exist, you couldâve still died, but you chose to ignore this possibility.
That was your choice, and the game and the community are not at fault here at all.
So youâre telling us that someone screwed up by listing a sell order at buy order prices for an item with a 900% margin, and you didnât instantly buy it out and relist it for a huge markup? And are instead complaining about this rare opportunity to basically get free money as being cannon fodder for old players?
What you got is tens of hours of meaningless PvE grind time that did absolutely nothing for your progression in the game. Maybe you shouldâve considered actually playing the game instead of grinding out fake space bucks, especially since youâŚ
âŚDidnât really need them since you can afford to drop cash on PLEX.
Also, those level 3 and 4 skills take a few days to reach at most, and there are plenty of modules, rigs, and implants in the game that you can use to improve your scanning efficiency. Oh, you didnât know that there are plenty of modules, rigs, and implants in the game that you can use to improve your scanning efficiency? Well then why didnât you come to the forums or rookie help chat or something and ask if thereâs anything like that in the game?
The game doesnât even have a million active accounts total. Also you can see character details in market transactions, so if you have any empirical evidence that there are market orders being made by âCCP own botsâ you should show it to us.
