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
The simple answer is to not do pvp then. Majority of Pvpers have been sublimenting their income since way before RMT was a thing in Eve. You can make enough money to do quite a bit of Pvp for just a few hours of farming or trading if you know what you are doing but some people will always prefer doing RMT whether it’s allowed or not. Has nothing to do with CCP.

And who are they paying to do that.
They are buying space money with real money, and the space money goes to other player who make and sell the ships.
Neither of you answered my question, who is getting paid.
Are you asking who gets paid in a transaction?
The person selling gets paid.
I’m not sure how you’re still not getting my question, yes if it needs to be reworded to “who is the seller?” there ya go.
