Maybe I'm missing the point. Are you whining because you're pirate status(of which you chose to obtain) forces you to "grind" it off in order to move your ships?

This doesn't really qualify. As it is a self inflicted problem. The grind in EVE is(if you choose)non-existant. You level offline as well as on. You are not shackled to the keyboard or (much more likely) forced to "bot", in order to remain on par with the player who can dedicate 12 hours a day to the game.

I can fly most anything, but choose frigates as my weapon of choice and any new player could be on par with me(skill wise at least) in a relatively short period of time. EVE is truly not like other MMO's in that you are not forced to do anything really. As far as ISK goes...lol. I have never in my life found a game that is easier to make money in.

You might have to do some grinding, but that is almost always a byproduct to some sh-t you pulled on your own or a goal you have set for your self.

Either way, it's not forced on you.
