I did, when it was fairly new, for about a month or so, then it became boring, because there is no real challange!
Exactly that shows that you have no clue about EU.
Manual aiming (RL skill) is much more efficent than auto aim, the outcome dictated by skill, well if I remember right there is a lot things skill based in WoW aswell, but where is the challange if you are maxed in a week or so.
Beside that, have you ever played a pen and paper RPG? A lot of fun, but at the end the skills and the dice rolled dictates the outcome of your actions.
Nothing wrong here
Simply wrong.
You can invest 100k$ in EU and still fail.
You can invest 20$ a month and really good.
You can play completely for free and still do really good.
If it would be pay to win, you couldn´t fail if you invest big, nor would you be able to survive on a low budget.
Ever played any of "Kabam" games, which is really pay to win? Do it and you will see the difference between a pay to win scenario and EU.
Complete BS, its not pyramid sheme. Otherwise it would illegal in a lot countries.
Its not well known because there is artifically no advertising, WoW does TV advertising you see the difference?
Well its popular becaue it is easy. Beside that, how many of that million accounts are gold farmer bots ? LOL
Already said above, Blizzard invests a lot more in advertising.
Oh and those moron Eve online players?

Played that too, 5 years, had my own POS in low Sec area, and a production line for Titan ships. It became more a job (maintaining all that) than a fun game. Sold my account with a nice profit, but the buyer was stupid and the account got locked 2 days after the sale. Really stupid to tell everybody that he bought the account from me (breaking EULA/ToU). Can´t care less, don´t want to get back into Eve.
I also played a lot other games past years. Non of it was as challanging as EU. Non of it motivated so much as EU.
I have seen people quit EU for some reason and have seen some of them coming back a year later, regreting that they sold all their skill and gear.
The problem why EU never will get mainstream is: mainstream has to be easy where everyone can get everything. An RCE can´t offer that, otherwise the economy could not work. Well atm EU economy is bad, but thats another story.
Since I started with EU, MA did a lot fails from my point of view, but they did a lot good things aswell.
In EU nothing is static, you always have to adapt and be up to date.
Thats why the 12 year old kids that play WoW, won´t play EU. The average player in EU is much older than the average Wow player (or any other mainstream subscription based MMO).
EU is a niche game for special people (like me and others who really love EU).
You as a mainstream guy, are only bitching because you refuse to learn. You refuse to listen if someone gives you a hint about how it works.
You claim to know all, and name it a pyramid sheme, where new players pay MU to older players, which is completely wrong if you would have understand my former post. But you didn´t understand it, and still continue bitching about the game.
All I can recomand now, sell out and leave. EU is definately nothing for you, as you are not able to learn and adapt.
As long you don´t change your mind, start listening, start learning, you never will survive in EU.
Go back to WoW for good!
Wow.... such a massive justification of your addiction..., Zeuxxx I mean casxx, got me locked out... I tried to log in today to sell what I got and try to make they minimum 100USD withdrawal. but they locked me out. So destroyed. I mean I make 100usd in 3 hours at my real life job. OMG I am so wrecked.
I am so wrecked.. Now I am forced to play the other 105 games I have on steam, oh, and dammit, now that I can't log into Eu I am forced to actually use my $1000 USD telescope and $800 DSLR and go out and capture real world space.. Oh crap now that I cannot log into Eu I have to go out in the real world. NOOOOOOOO...
But all the money you spend on this BS you can't do real life stuff? Like Buy a telescope? a camcorder? ya just wanna be in this "game" that is manipulated by Ma? Aww the Egg?
So GoNi, get a real life....
