This 'salty old guard' still trades to this day. I don't haul ores nor do I do the Trade Events.
And if you read my previous post, you will see that I said "doing a couple of Ore runs per day can net you a billion in a week".
Not sure where the 24 hour grind comes in to it.
If you join today and by tomorrow you want a Cap Ship, CAUVIII, Cloak etc then, yes, you will have to grind for 24 hours.
That is you putting yourself under that pressure, not the Game, to make the money in the quickest time.
If you are willing to build up and do it over a few weeks or a month, then the grind really isn't there.
