Alright, lets say you make minimum wage. So you spend a bit more than 2 hours to pay for your month of gameplay. 2 hours is less than 5 days. Shocking isn't it?
I'm also assuming that your average EVE/MMO player has a bit more disposable income than your average high school drop out.
2 hours is less than 5 days? wow you are fucking brilliant
thanks for the math lesson, professor .. you must be a genius or something |

Down here in Australia the minimum wage is $20 per hour. I've heard from some Americans that minimum wage there is around $7 even.
Doing a quick Google search revealed this to be true. |

Quite funny, yet the sheer self-denial "We are not typical MMOG geeks, we are tough elite of MMOGs !" is almost tragic.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I really enjoy it, particularly the business side. It's just the prospect of paying out a rather large sum every month that makes me wish I didn't. 
Then don't pay the sub mate. As others have said 350 million ISK will buy you a month's subscription. Running level 4 missions alone will net you that in less than a week, if you're really into business and trading then you could make that in an hour. The really big Eve tycoons who drop billions without blinking are nearly all traders and businessmen. |

A dude in my corp spends 5 days mining to pay for his month then goes and does whatever he wants to rest of the month.

If you get good at making money in game you can easily pay 350mil ISK to purchase a plex.
A dude in my corp spends 5 days mining to pay for his month then goes and does whatever he wants to rest of the month.
Tho you'll need a hulk and orca to do how he does it like a billion in equipment alone :p |

Eve is an entirely different beast compared to most MMOs. Where most will provide you with a large portion of the experience within a month, a month is a drop in the bucket by Eve standards with whichever path you chose.
I divert your attention to this classic graph:

plex is an in-game item that you can buy if you choose to get rich quick without going and buying isk from illegal websites.
Plex is also used to renew your subscription but it can be expensive or cheap depending on how you look at it.
End of the day you don't really have to invest more than $14 for a month's subscription.
As far as the other thing you mentioned, EVE is not for everyone, EVE is hard, if you don't want to play MMOs that's fine, if you don't like EVE cause its "tough" maybe you should try out WOW instead. |

| A friend sent me a trial for EVE and I made the mistake of taking it up. I've only bought one month so far and I'm trying to resist buying a second. I've never played an MMO before and wish that was still the case. It is fun but hopefully it'll get old soon, I really don't want to spend that much on a single game. |
