Say you received 1,000 when graduating high school. You then got a job making 100/month, signed a lease and moved out of the house. You have expenses of 180/month. How long before you are destitute?
I suppose one man's regulatory capture is balanced by another man's monopolistic behemoth pushing out a competitor that doesn't have an alternate revenue stream.
This is the beauty of Eve. Suck rocks for ore while watching movies. Solo/team hunting pvp. Venture capitalist. Space Trucker. Honest Questor or other PVE solo/team player. Absolute troll who creates a roleplay justification to being the worst of bastards to newbies (but just inside the rules). So many playstyles.
I liked the stealth game as well. Work your way in a stealthy ship deep into Nullsec and do your thing - whether that thing is a bunny rabbit of a frigate designed to find and steal cookies and outwit the fox, or a stealth bomber that hides near the cookie jar to squash the unsuspecting. And both of these have to find a way to get back to civilization with the lootz.
