Is population really declining? I’ve just come back after 6 years. The numbers look similar to me. A better question would be, “Why has CCP failed to expand the game?” ---

You should indeed count yourself fortunate. The whole thing is very cringey. Salvos considers his total lack of knowledge of game systems to be completely irrelevant. The fact that he clearly doesn’t understand the first thing about EVE Online in no way invalidates his opinion about it. It’s pretty bizarre, sit and think about that for a moment. Consider the level of arrogance required to think that way. ---

Of the remaining 15% a full 10% dedicate their lives to manipulating the 85% for economic and or political gain. Then there’s the 3% who also know what’s what but just ignore the whole problem and concern themselves with their own happiness and try not to hurt the idiots. Then there’s the remaining 2%, to whom we owe everything good and beautiful on this earth. ---
