But EVE players and developers hate roleplayers with passion. Actually the main problem of EVE its that is designed for ganker in mind, from ground up.

I mean , when lead game designer is calling miners CAREBEAR (which is deragatory term in mmo slang...and yes you know it)

So designing a feature that brings, nothing...apsolutely nothing to PK player ... that is just waste of time in EVE

At least they mentioned miners, log in and try to find a player that has a trader as main. With 20-30 thousand players online there will certainly be a few out there.... right? I will be generious and give you 24 hours to find one... err not enough time? A Week then?

I played EvE for 2months and then uninstalled it. It is a impressive game, but with some serious balancing issues. More than 40% play Caldari for some very good reasons, it is the best race to start with, looking at stats, Cha is the least used stat in game and Caldari is able to spend least points in it at the start. Add to this that it has the best ships for mission running. The only reson to not be Caldari is that it their ships is regarded to be bad in single pvp. However since the Cladari players currerntly is having a campaign to buff that part meaning there will most likely be even less reason to roll another race.

There are 3 Classes you can be in EvE and these classes have 2 sub-classes. These Classes are Soldier , Trader and Industrial. Most  mains are Soldiers, fewer of them but most alts are miners, miners is a Industrail subclass. Very few are Traders, again for a very good reason, it is pve class in a game with no pve area, is the cargo worth enough Isk you can, and most likely will be shoot down even in high security space.

However EvEs "goldfarmers" are alts with minimum skill points that is doing the highest quality of trade missions. Doing a rank 4 quality  20 combat mission requires a battleship, a trade mission of that quality and rank requires a bot and a ship worth 1/200 of that of a Battleship. And yes, the Isk sellers are indeed very active in EvEs chat channels.

Biggest flaw has to be the combo of Titans and Sov 4 systems. Titans are impossible to destroy in Sov 4 systems since capital ships, that is their only threat can´t enter those systems. Meaning that the side that can make most Titans will eventually "win" EvE even if that side in terms of players is heavily outnumbered.

And since EvE is a pvp game this is the thing that will kill it. With a winner there will be no pvp since there is no one to fight. That is what happend with EvEs China server. Needless to say, that server doesn´t have many players left.

Add to this that the biggest corporation in EvE with at least 3 times as many solarsystems than the second biggest corp, having most resorces and is given rent from its Allies thus virtually has unlimited resoureces to build Titans and having a history of EvE game developers among its members. ( BoB got a monument raised to their honour when they killed a driver less ASCN Titan, unsurpricingly there is no monument  of the only Titan destroyed in actual combat since it was a BoB Titan).

The last thing, the corruption of CCP, siding with a corporation in such way, is why I will not ever trust CCP as a game developer. It is as if they want a side to win within 1, max 2 year and then move on to next project, since EvE with a winner and thus no pvp will have no future.
