100 bucks is nothing for the amount of time eve players play.

Edit Isk for $ has been in the game for years and years, it's no secret.

In my experience it has also never been necessary to engage in the microtransactions to have fun.

I played EVE for years in the 2010s. Amazing game. I just don't have enough time for it anymore.

I played cryptic mmos for a long time and never spent a cent (well for myself we got a lifer for my wife)

Same here. It's hard or impossible to combine with doing anything in real life.

I guess the idea of paying real money for isk is the solution in a way, but if I'm not grinding eve for isk, there isn't much else to do. Why even do missions or go to null sec if I don't need isk?
