Hello, so once again I log on in Amarr and go on shopping for my alpha Tormentor to pvp, using a meta Small Focused Modulated Energy Beam fit, and great, once again some ■■■■■■■ ASSHATS decided to spike the price of that module up to 3.5 mil again, which ammounts me to a total of 20mil cost for a tech 1 alpha frig fit… So like seriously … ? 20mil ? I cant fly any other beam weapons with an ancillary fit Tormentor, since alpha and lacking grid and cpu (plus I already had to spend 40mil on a powergrid implant to fit this and be able to “barely” compete in lowsec…) So how the hell do you expect noobs to be able to afford to learn and play the pvp game with such stupidly high meta module prices ? Do I have to waste my bloody time going to Jita to buy them in bulk at 500k ??? No seriously players, and CCP, do us all a favour and take your heads out of your profiteering arses (as if you didnt have enough isk already…???) and unfuck your ■■■■■■■ game and market decisions for the good of the little guy. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/new-alpha-player-rant-price-spikes-and-affordability/40045)._
