No loot and growing EU

Joker said:
people with the higher dps weapons can lose 200-300$ a day...
and in upwards of 105,000$ (not 100k peds... but $$$$) a year... that is a serious game eh ;)

If I had that kind of cash to 'spend' in EU, I would sooner take up a different pastime, like buying and running a small country.

Same arguments about no loot vs cheaper gear, ammo etc. I suppose the same tyres will be given another 50 retreads, because I constantly see people crossing the line from EU as gambling to EU as gaming . Hiding behind the costs for gear and ammo is, in my opinion, self-deception. As if folks cannot admit they have other issues.

I don't say EU is cheap for most, but we all know it can be played cheap. You can't have it all ways; the $5 slots are always going to be $5 per spin, because of the relative outcomes to the 25 cent slots. Oversimple I admit, but facing down all the motivations to play is not so easy for some, and it never will be.

I like EU and don't have a problem with the costs, since I play cheap or expensive or not at all... I'm not that hooked. I always think the biggest failing is in MA's blindness to the need of clever and well-thought out promotion. If this were the case, costs should and probably would fall.

Yup it's easy to make some PEDs. But is it fun? Does it reliable pay your rent? Is it more fun than your job and pays you better?
I was here for the fun, apparently it died.

Making some peds in game is a long way from this kind of money. That said, you can make this kind of money but it would require a lerge investment.

As for the fun part, nothing like the rush of hitting a global that is real $$$ vs getting some piece of armor/weapon drop in wow that will be useless in less than few months after a patch. When you spend 4-5 years playing another MMORPG like wow or starwars or whatever at the end you have a few memories and -$15/month + charge for expansions. If I spend the same amount of time and money in EU and level up, each skill at the top is worth north of $30,000 some much more than that.

I hit my first global huntting last night and it was more of rush than all the full loot PvP I did back in UO during the day :wtg:
 
So what do we all want? One person to hit a 227k ped tower or 10 people to hit a 22k tower or 100 people hitting a 2k claim. Although I see MA's thinking that 227k uber is great advertising, I also see that this one hit can make people not play or even quit. While I'm not sure it had anything to do with it, I have noticed since that hit my fl has 5-10 people on rather than the usuall 15-30 people
