So a semi-noob player hits 592k ATH on the slot machines with EP2 recycle BPs. Meanwhile the top echelon of hunters/miners/grinders seem to never get rewarded the same way and have to spend thousands of dollars and years of grinding to acquire the skills to "cycle" the same click/bet size as some yolo crafters with zero skills and no barrier to entry.
The more of these hits that occur I always stop and ask myself how the "it's not gambling" argument is defensible when there is zero barrier to entry to click 20tt+ at the slot machine every 4 seconds.
the similar scenario applied to huntiung would be putting lp100s, mod mercs, and lvl 13 amps in the TT and making their skill requirements virtually zero. I don't think the issue is "who" hit the ATH, but rather "How" it was hit. It rubs me the wrong way and i'm sure it does the same to the lot of you, but feel free to explain in the replies.
The argument that "better gear and better skills = success" is weakened by these events
The argument that EU "isn't gambling" is further weakened by each of these events
I don't think i would feel the same way if it was some eomon stalker or something that hit for 500k, but that simply will never happen.
