Indeed it will not hurt many players (except maybe your competitor traders). In fact you’re helping other players to sell their items faster and buy their items faster by renting them your trade slots for a small fee.
For many people the quick sale is worth more than the price difference, but for other players (like you) that price difference may be a decent income. Especially when the amount of trades is scaled up by using multiple trading characters at the same time.
OP, +1 for being on point. I agree, many aspects of this game are boring and could use an overhaul, so it’s not so stale. Look at the announcement section, lots of underwhelming …announcements.
Yes, to some extent EVE is an “old player” haven, because the longer you’re active in it, the more you learn, the more skills you have, the more strategies you know, the more traps you learn to avoid.
You’re observing here that the “knowledge fee” presented by EVE is too big and takes too much time for you to bother with - an old concept that’s been around literally since EVE’s early years:
And yet here you are, finding ways to mess with other people in the game - pretty much what EVE is all about.
Keep in mind that every single new player over the past decade-plus has confronted the same issues you have, and somehow surmounted it. In most games, you learn by doing. In EVE, you learn mostly by dying.
Keep up the good work, looks like you’re making progress!
One thing that would really enrich the game would be blops being able to target while cloaked. I was disappointed to find out they couldn’t and assumed they wpuld be able to.
“I’m not going to put time into learning, instead I’ll put all my time into doing the exact opposite of what my main goal was”. Yeah this seals the deal: it’s a hoax, a fake.
I got a relative newbie to a point where he could afford a cynabal in a few days, to then lose it and go “ah well I’ll use my stabber for a bit” and now he’s back in a new cynabal.
It’s really not difficult if a newbie is willing to learn, listen and try stuff.
One an a half month is few time. This game never ends. At some point you will find something. Rakovene, triglavian wrecks. Found that by chance crossing a wh and with a venture and an imicus made 3 billions in a month as an alpha. Also stealing wrecks arround jita meant lot of isk. 2020 was when i installed the game and weird ■■■■ happened. 2021 was all omega game so easier to make money.
Industry is not for new players, it is a complicated structure and the supply and demand are player driven. Unless you already have some clue about supply chain management and infrastructure you should not even attempt it when starting out.
But Gee wizz, BILLIONS you say, that must be some Hulk loadout with all fancy pants modules.
Sounds like a great gig you got goin there, I might try mining Uedama with a fleet of 5 Catalysts.
Just out of interest, do you add any buffer tank to your Hulks?
