Well lets just look at a few of the area's in which you can choose to play this game, bare in mind MA business model is based on so called ability to pay your RL bills by playing a game (but EULA says this is NOT a game lol).
Ok lets start with Hunting the profession in which most of us start this game in, i'll break it into lvl's.
LvL 1 Hunter:
Like to sweat hunt combibo's, diakiba's, Exa's etc, this is a very good way to play the game and by sweating the mob before killing you can help boost your loot return maybe even making your hunting actualy profitable. This may not cost you much but dont expect to be making huge amounts of cash from the game in this manner of hunting.
LvL 2 Hunter:
Graduated from mentorship bought your first set of real armour most likely Shogun, Paladin or Knight. You can now hunt lower lvl Argo's, Drones, Feffoids etc and no longer wanna sweat. Dont expect this to be profitable at your skill lvl as you must factor in your gun, armour FAP decay etc, but you do stand a chance at hitting one of those nice globals or HoF's you seen while a noob and may actualy have a few hunts with good profit. I'd recomend your hunts are 100-200 ped ammo.
LvL 3 Hunter:
You have Ghost you have 5B plates and now your using Korss H400 with good amp maybe FAP 50-80 or EMT 2350. You now in a good position to hunt the Atrox, Atrax, Maffoids, mid-high lvl Bery's alot higher mobs than before when at lvl 2. This again is an increase in the health of the mobs you hunt so more ammo needed, more decay on armour due to having plates on it and if taking alot of hit with your bigger FAP more decay on that average decay bill for your hunt is 40-80 ped depending on your amp and what your hunting.
LvL 4 hunter:
You are mid lvl player close to if not over the Medium health point, your hunting Aurli, Kreltin, Hogglo's, Scips, Big Argo's, Big Molisk etc again you can do this with a Ghost set and 5B with EMT 2600 FAP. You are buying guns like the P5a or Apis or your at about 45-50+ hit on UL weapons so your using something like ML-35 or Camo or Adj Mini Sweeper (i'm using Karma Killer). Again your further up the ladder so more decay for you again on CP 200 ped ammo can mean 100+ ped decay same with Hogg's. No you need the globals or your hunts are a disaster.
LvL 4 Uber hunter:
You can solo Dasps Spiders, Seg's, Hogg's, dome 4 CP, big Scip's, Flax etc now your spending a good few peds per mobs anywhere from 10-40 ped per mob in ammo decay etc. You bigger spend should mean more return from your ammo spent but not always, so with your big outlay expect big returns but be ready for those big losses.
Crafting:
Well same as before the higher up the tree you move the more you spend per click but again the more you can get back, if your just crafting for globals on condition well all I can say to that is
, be aware yeah that 1k-10k HoF might come along but think about what if it dont come and your just feeding the loot pool for someone else? Can you afford $1 per click on OA-101 on condition if you do a 250 click run? say you dont HoF and only get 6 globals total returns is 50% of your input, your run lasted 15 minutes and you do the same all week trying to get that big hit to win it back. 7x $125 = $875 you lost in 1 week can you afford that?
Mining:
The higher up you go the better knowledge you get of area's etc, your thinking about amps, so you buy some think about how many bombs you get per amp and how much you can lose if you dont Global or HoF. Can you sustain the output over the course of a week if you contiue to lose on amps? Take CND everyone goes with OA-103 amps looking for the big hit 140 per amp 56 bombs + decay on finder lets say 200 ped for a round figure thats $20 only takes you 30 mins or so to drop your bombs so in an average night you can burn about 6+ 103s thats $120 per night over a week on CND = $840 output but what about your returns? What if you dont hit the big one? You can easily lose $2000 per month if your a gamer and play most hours of the day (like me) think about how big this loss could be it could easily be $10,000 per month if your not careful.
Now that all being said you could be getting steady returns from your proffesion or now you have knowledge and your set up right but what i'm trying to say here is EU is NOT too expensive, you just need to find a lvl that you can afford and stick with it, if your lvl is low and its boring and you dont like it then try the bigger lvl but if its not working then know when to stop and think about if this realy is the game for you! I'm sure you can profit in EVERY proffesion in game but what lvl you need to be what mob you need to hunt equipment needed, items you need to craft, ores you need to mine is what you need to work out, once your at the right lvl with correct set up then you'll see it yourself, until then play safe and remember if we all made profit easily then the game would not exist its not a license to print money.
We all know this game is Gambling even if MA proved in court its not we know it is, gambling is a drug and if your getting in far too deep seek couciling PLEASE, many people can easily lose alot of IRL cash in here and then you might lose your house, your car, your life basicly.
P.s. My examples are not exact just to be used as a guide to show you should pick a lvl suited to your budget.
