I think the the money is on the money. You can already see how much tear 3 or 4 ship will cost. What you wanna do ? Make it so a capital ship cost $7000.00 usd to buy. Eve has that kind of cost to it. Thats why no one will get into that game anymore.
Well, as a T4 pilot I can say is there a huge different in T4 ships cost, a much bigger jump from T3 to T4 than the prevous Tier jumps. But only in the cost, not in the rewards, so I think is not worth to play in T4 at the moment.
How bad can it be, I am only under 20 hour’s into the game and have gotten free gold and have T2 ships and gear. I need to play more because I want to achieve more. So far its been good. Allot of relay good pilots with way more time in then me. Hey thats the only way I will get better anyway.
