Eve would be so much more popular and interesting if we had a similar system as in Wurm Online where it is legal for players to trade Virtual Items for real money on the forums. I played Eve for years, but left the game cos I was “working” for “pixel cash”. The Devs should allow people to earn some money on the side, doesn’t have to be huge “give up your day job amounts” just a nice little income on the side. I enjoyed Industry and mining in this game, but after a while I lost motivation, spending hours just to buy Plex so I could spend more hours Buying Plex with Billions left over for…more Plex…
I think the Wurm Online system should be allowed here as well, make this otherwise boring game more interesting.
Edit; It would also increase player retention, I can tell you now Eve has an incredible player turnover rate, when I played years ago I remembered so many characters on the forums, regular posts from well known players, they’ve all gone as far as I can see. RMT would keep the player base much more stable in my humble opinion, people would be more motivated, I can GUARANTEE that 99% of people reading this post will abandon Eve within 2 years, GUARANTEED.
