MODERATORS
sure, that's a valid critique, and based on your objective experience.
however, compare your experience with other games that could be interpreted as "abusive pay for play systems". You're paying for the monthly game subscription similar to other MMOs, rather than a pay to win system based on microtransactions or other predatory practices.
From an outsiders perspective, what I've heard about Eve and their payment model, it seemed more fair and two way than most other games.
So you haven't played eve right? It is way more predatory than just paying a subscription. A lot of people doing PVP are pouring money into their account to buy ships they don't have time to farm for
And who are they paying to do that.
