Well, to aquire 2 battleships, even just two tier 1's, thats still like 120+
million ISK. As a solo player (freelancer) you would spend quite some time
to aquire that. Normal playing time, I would guess WEEKS ;-) for tier 2
battleships it would be over 200 million. So yes, VERY bad deal, guess you
had to be very feed up with EVE to do such a deal tbh.
And no, you dont need to be bolted down in front of the game screen 24/7 to
get anywhere. Last 3 days I built: 2xScorpions, 2xApocs, 1x Tempest, 3x
Typhoons.. I do all the work myself. Played the game for soon 11 months I
guess. And far from bored yet.
The thing about EVE is that you have to forge your own destiny and walk the
path of your own choice, you cant sit around and wait for someone to
entertain you. You have to entertain yourself.
