Let's not forget that the actual number of subscribers is cut drastically when you figure in the majority of players have more than two accounts...paid for by game time cards, purchased with isk (in game currency). CCP sell game time cards for real money. Players sell these cards to each other for ISK. CCP does not survive on in-game currency, how could they?

It used to be the case that a very good driver would be able to stop quicker without ABS than with it - the system is a compromise between all the different conditions it has to encounter, dry roads, wet, snow, ice etc, whereas a human can adapt to the conditions. The problem with this is that *everyone* thinks they are the aforementioned "very good driver", and that ABS is for all the other idiots that can't drive. I don't know if the old "good driver being better than ABS" thing is true any more though, I find it hard to believe that the technology hasn't progressed over the years.

God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.
