I’m still trying to figure out exactly what the OP is complaining about other than wanting this game to become a mobile/phone game, which EVE was never designed to do and attempting to re-design a complex game created for personal computers into some simplified version to make it easier to use on a phone would just not work without virtually scrapping everything about the game and at that point you may as well just make a brand new game.

I got a much simpler method of evaluating how many players actually play EVE online (since we got a classic click-bait title, I’ll dedicate this part to the title instead of whatever bloody thing the OP is drunkenly ranting about). Take the number of players online, divide it by 2 or 3 and that’s how many actual unique players are in the game. That is because virtually everyone and their uncle likes to have an alt or two logged in at the same time.
