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.
See we agree then, good! Economy is not broken and just needs some balance tweaks and attempt to make trading more fun and/or buff it slightly!
Like you say yourself - people that want expensive stuff fast have to go through gruelling hours of numbing grind. And people that are ok with snubs and basic loadouts can make money for them quickly. I don't see what's broken about that.
