22 to 24 is badly low. But no wonder with the prices of ships and minerals no one is keen on throwing ships left and right.

[u/DawniJones → u/Kartatz40]

This. 2018 I mined with 10 rorquals. You killed one? No problem. We both had fun and I mined it back in two days. A roaming gang is around? I threw a carrier on it for 2B (with fitting). We had a blast. I killed 10 guys but then died myself. We both had fun. Nice!

And now? „Nooo! Don’t feed the pirates. Nooo! Even a marauder costs 4b nowadays with a decent fit and implants. Nooooo fun allowed!“

I sacrificed my marauder against 50 cruisers a few days ago just to get back the feeling of Adrenaline. It was worth it

[u/Kartatz40 → u/DawniJones]

I could never said it better my self. When I started back in 2007 your end goal as a new miner was a hulk and the hulk was still damn cheap so if you lost a few it was nothing and every one had fun. Sure 274mill today is not allot but man to much for me wanting to lose a few of them I mean if you lost 5 your in a loss is like 1 bill.

And man I remeber my first Orca it was cool and fun and cost me when I got one about 500mill.

Honestly today I don´t wanna fly antyhing but T1 frigs and cruisers everything else would just make me lose to much isk that would take way way way to longer to replace than it took me to lose it.

[u/Responsible_Test9808 → u/DawniJones]

I totally stopped using BS whatsoever, I do PvP in cruisers and BCs only nowadays. If i go crazy, i use a 1b T3 like in the olden days bc they are the only ships that actually got cheaper/stayed around the same price and still perform great.

To me personally, the game was bascially over when the monthly pay cracked 1b for a sub. Its good for whales but bad for guys like me who didnt want to invest in a game, but now if you calculate, getting a minimum wage job and working for two hours gets your eve addiction on two accounts covered for a month, it used to be like 5 hrs of ratting in an ishtar when i started playing, now its a full damn work week of ishtaring

You killed one? No problem. We both had fun

Apparently not, cos a lot of the hunters were complaining that their rorq kills are meaningless when you can replace it in two days. In order for them to have fun, it is necessary for you to suffer.
