Comment on EVE players abuse faction warfare to produce trillions of ISKparent

What made you stop?

Time.

For me, I found myself spending far too much time worrying about my product inventory or how to optimize my logistics chain to squeeze a few more percentage points out of my margin.

Basically, I realized I could be doing the same thing but making real-money instead of space-money. I never really enjoyed the combat part of EVE (it kinda sucks), so when I realized that I was basically playing at business...why not start building real businesses?

It's an awesome game that I'd totally get back into...once I'm financially secure and playing EVE from a yacht.

That line sums up EVE for a good number of bittervets, I'd imagine. It's the reason why I don't want to sign up again, not until I'm on a yacht (as you put it). Also wassup goon buddy.

This is matches perfectly for why I stopped playing as well.
