Another commenter put it best: "I've never had so much fun just reading about a game while never having the desire to actually play it".

EvE Online is a deeply interesting game, and I think it's a testament to how long the game has been relevant. But while I love reading about the economics, wars, scams (EvE allows player scams in game), I could never see myself actually playing the game. It would suck up far too much of my time and money.
