And you miss the point too.
If you play smart and invest your deposits with brain, it lasts forever.
I am in a possition where I wouldn´t need to deposit anymore, but still depo my 20€/month to support EU/MA.
My accounts value constantly increasing, not only by skillgains, also by PED value after MU.
I did a fair number of fail investments in EU, shit happens!
I am still on the profiting side, considering my total deposits vs the value of my items (skills not even included), if I sell it all today.
It matters how you approach to EU, how you play it, what style you play.
If I would deposit more, it would just increase the speed of improved value.
You may ask, why I don´t deposit more to create more value on my account.
Its a matter of trust and risk calculations.
Personally I consider every € deposited as a lost €, thats why I don´t spend more than 20€/month.
Even with that small deposits I would lose some thousand € if EU shuts down befor I can withdraw anything.
Actually I don´t even considering to sell anything or to withdraw some PEDs, as I still have my fun in EU.
For me EU is playing a game, not making my living from it.
I dont even need to profit, although I do it.
I konw some people who constantly lose in EU, who dont care at all, because they simply enjoy to spent the money for the entertainment they get. There was times when I thought that way, too.
I have adjusted my playstyle and it works much better for me now, than it did in the past.
MA could make this game the best game ever, if they start fixing the economy, add some deepth into the game and deliver what they have advertised in the past.
Sadly they lost the story, did not deliver and that hurts the trust of the playerbase.
Exactly this is the main problem why some old players left the game and it is hard to keep newer players in game.
The game mechanics itselfs (loots) are fairly good and cost to play really acceptable, even if you play on a constant loss, what is not needed if you play smart.
If you lose more than you can accept, its only your own fault. Adjust your playstyle!
There is a lot activitys in EU, that are way above my budget, where I very likely will lose more than I am willing to lose due to low turnover. Do I do this activitys? NO!
Sure I still could try it and hope for lucky loots, but there is no luck involved at all if you play smart.
Many explained it already, its just you who dont get it.
