This is why I quit playing EVE. I couldn't afford to buy a new ship in half the cases because in a misguided attempt to make certain ships 'special' they were priced out of any sensible range.
I. Can't. Play. That. Much. Each. Week.
So every time price gets jacked here, in the name of 'balance', that's just one more thing I will likely no longer have access to buy. Sure it stops some people from buying ship X or thing Y... but those "some people" are not the pvp/trade/whatever-whores that spend 10 hours per day playing this game. They're guys like me who want some variety and new experiences in their Disco play but spend most of their time in fighters and transports by RP necessity.
Do I want to fly a Liner? No I don't RP anyone who would have a Liner, but I just watched my faction's cruiser double in price and have no clue when we'll be able to afford one now. STOP IT. please.
