EVE was once a legendary game. I was young when the Goons vs BoB war was raging. News articles and entire books have been written about it from observations of its player-driven economy, wars, and industry.

That was the game that was. That is not the game that is now.

CCP has no idea how to design a game anymore. They now only know three things:
1. How to nerf
2. How to monetize
3. How to ignore the feedback of the elected player representative council.

Do you like industry and mining? CCP will nerf it to the ground and then try to sell you badly-kitted mining ships. They pull it back, but they poorly hide their intent to do it again.

Do you like PVE? Virtually worthless outside of nullsec. Have fun being fodder for suicide gankers when they get bored from all the miners leaving since their chosen career has been nerfed to oblivion.

Do you like PVP? That's all the game has to offer in mainly three flavors - wormhole fleets, ganking, and big bloc alliances. Except CCP keeps nerfing industry and income, so eventually you might find yourself starved for cash or for powerful late-game ships.

Lo and behold your corporate overlords will descend from on high and offer you the shiny new billion-ty plex pack complete with supercarrier (amateurly fit of course because the developers obviously don't play their own game).

Don't believe me? Keep watching. I'll happily eat my words if CCP manages to clean up their act and start designing a game again rather than a gatcha game with pewpew spaceships tacked on.

Don't waste your time. The developers don't respect it.
