Ok so it’s been awhile since I last posted, lots been happening both in-game and out. So the Tech 2 stuff didn’t go great. I didn’t have the time to play the game properly to actually put myself fully into it so I only went in half-heartedly, this was a mistake which I hope to fix this summer. Along with a lot of other things. The corp did join the Amarr militia for a while and that didn’t go too bad we got some kills, Well I didn’t as I’m not a pvper in anyway as my Killboard shows.
I have been meaning to set up some PI in the low sec systems around where we live but currently can’t get myself to do it, Going to wait till I get my alt into a black ops and then just covert cyno into the systems to grab the produce.
My main ISK income currently is ice mining, yes this isn’t the best income by far and its most likely the worst, however it means I can play the game and make ISK while working on my other things, namely setting up Minecraft servers, writing game reviews and typing up pages of coursework.
Ok now onto the main reason I really wanted to post on here. The micro-transactions. While I am writing reviews I will read other people's reviews and many game news sites. The majority of which have had at least one news article about eve and its micro-transactions. The problem that I have with this is that they do not get the full story. Many will be posting how the monocle costs $70 and that's overpriced, with this I agree it is a lot for an in-game item and CCP could have done better with their roll-out of the system by also integrating the cheaper items. However my real problem is that the news sites bring across that this is the only way that you can buy the items. They do not see that players can spend ISK which they gained from mining, ratting, mission-running etc. I have been talking to some people mostly on the eve-radio irc channel and they been saying things like people have still had to buy the plex with real money, my response to that is that yes the people have had to buy the plex but they sold it for ISK, so they then don’t care where the plex goes after they have got the ISK safely in their wallet. I for one buy the plex and convert it into game time as I don’t have the real life money to pay for eve currently but still wish to play the game. So in conclusion I really do wish for game news sites to actually fully read up on the news story’s before posting them. However I know they won’t and many people in the comment sections for the eve news articles wil complain and all I can do is post on these comments and finish off the news article so people can actually read the full story on the eve micro-transactions.
In other news my main character also turned 2 years old 14 days ago, seems strange 2 years ago eve was different and there were many friends who used to play. Ive been through a couple of corps and really enjoy eyed my two years of playing, all I can say is roll on the next 2 years as I can say that I won’t be leaving eve for the foreseeable future, even if some of the community continue to annoy me enough to walk outside and do something else.
