Full Passive Passive + Active Full Active All have their principles, advantages and disavantages. I like the Passive + Active system because it gives players the good of both worlds. You can advance without having to worry too much while you go to your job, attend your kids, do your tests at your education, and rewards those who have time to invest. Now, what are the main disavantages of those sytems? Fully Passive will alienate the younglings because the want it all and they want it now. A lot of regular FPS gamers are accostumed to a fast paced aquisition of benefits and it-¦s not a fps mindset to wait for things to be used, no matter how much EVE is exactly that. Plus, it makes a lot of people to create account and never play the game, and i think you should AT LEAST afk a match to earn something. If it were a paid model, fully passive is ok, but it-¦s free, move your butt do to the minimum. Fully active will alienate those that have other stuff to do in life. I can-¦t conciliate my work, my family, my sex and my stuff with a fully active game that requires a lot of attention. I used to grind in Lineage II, but i did so watching 4 seasons of The Office, because we all know grinding in this kind of games is "Press F1 F2 F3 many times, move a bit, repeat". I hate this kind of advancement, and i only played that damn thing because i had a group of RL friends, and as soon as they stopped playing, i quit. Yes, there are a lot of younger players and all that, but those with the cash are the people who are now 30 - 40, and they won-¦t play a game that has a high time and skill requirment like this. Demographics is important to pay attention to.

Standard free to play - you get the normal starting amount of Isk and SP 2. +1 million SP = $15 3. +2 million SP = $25 4. +3 million SP = $35 5. +4 million SP = $45 6. +5 million SP = $55 This could be applied to a NEW Starter account only ONCE. It would allow new players to jump into the game quicker based on their wallets but does not affect the gameplay as you do not get any ingame abilities that exceed an existing players skills. Paying to get SP? Big big big NO NO. Learning curve is mandatory, SP can-¦t come in a package.

I need to cap my SP this week so I don't fall behind!" I'd rather play the game than the game playing me. A lot of people have that mentality. I only have it partially, cause i want to be an effective Logi / Sniper, then Disregard SP, Adquire Fun.
