My reaction to warbarges is hostile! Copy/paste from different thread:

Warbarges are not real content, just a pretty menu where you farm components and upgrade stuff. It's basically one of those freemium mobile games, and like a mobile game, it's not fun, and heavily monetized to the point of being obnoxious. Wait an unreasonable amount of time to get what you want, or spend a lot of money and speed things up, and to even claim some items created by a subsystem costs even more time/money. People paying money to get access to the damage bonus (while everyone else lags behind, and can't be comparatively competitive) is straying into serious P2W territory.

I was fine with the instant boosting, booster stacking, respecs, BPOs returning to the market, Apex suits (though colors are gaudy and unfashionable). I could tolerate loyalty ranks despite them counting AUR spendings massively more than any other factors. I didn't like strongboxes because they manipulatively prey on human psychological susceptibilities regarding the addictive nature of unknown rewards, and the rarity of keys under normal circumstances was excessive, but ultimately I could tolerate strongboxes. Warbarges cross a line, and frankly I find it insulting that this is the central "content" of an "expansion".

Not to be rude. but it's an added feature. Eve has many of these. You can choose to participate or not. You don't have to take part in all the content. You don't have to pay aurum. when i started eve many years ago the skill tree to fully max out would take 70 years. NO BODY COULD DO IT. thats why i play eve you have to pick a niche and stick with it. So something that takes time I'm a fan of.

The gui okay its a little tacky. but then the industry window in eve isn't much in the way of state of the art either. Its a game not a nasa test site. which look pretty dull as well. Feel free to apply to cpm, ccp, or go make a better game yourself.

overall in the end you will be making more isk, sp, and doing more damage. something which every player has been asking for a more elite tier to look forward too. Or if you're adhd go buy it now.

Support 'Keshava' for the new Gallente HAV name in honor of Cat Merc's cat which recently passed away.

Or if you're adhd go buy it now. So I don't have to take part in the whole warbarge thing, but if I don't, I'l fall behind everyone else and their built-in damage bonuses (which AUR users will get access to and max out waaaay before anyone else; for a time they will be the only ones with access to it). I'm affected whether or not I use the warbage, because I have to fight those that use it. I would not have much of a problem with warbarges if it wasn't designed in such a way that I will fall behind for not using it.
