I have recently. It's OK not a brilliant game but good.
In terms of the spreadsheets in space that's only one aspect. I bought a little package for £5.99 which has skill boosts and some plex. All in all that setup my FTP character to be able to do whatever I want. So you can ignore this entirely and just play the game the way you want tbh.

I don't but I hear it's about the community and the drama that the community generates, more than it is about the game itself.

It’s absolutely worth it for the people you’ll meet playing the game. I’m in Iceland right now for the annual player meeting and it’s been a blast. Many alliances have internal tools which interface with the game and external crowdsourced market data, and it’s common knowledge that those tools are better than real world logistics software, so working on them is a great way to learn how to build relevant products.

It was beautiful.
I played probably 8-10k hours across three characters and 8 years. So not that much ;)
The world used to be much harder to get into, requiring a ton of RW time, RW skill and grinding to really progress. Then each seperate workflow (PvP, PvE, industry, extraction, scanning, ...) became safer as well as easier to grok and master as a single user.
Then there was somewhat of an eternal september amongst a dwindling population as the old guard finished dropping out.

I spent a summer or so playing Eve maybe 10 years ago. I eventually joined EVE University to get a taste of the social aspects. One of my most cherished gaming related memories is still going with them into nullsec space for the first time and the moment where our scouts reports that we've just run into Test (which was like the biggest alliance back then?). Obviously we got shot to shreds. :)
Haven't played the game since, but it is pretty damn comfy and I'd recommend anyone to try it out.

Basically eve online extracts the worst traits out of people and has a huge botting problem.

When the game peaked around 2011 ,EvE felt more of an unpaid second job without pay. But what a job it was! Once you get sucked in, you could spend several months per year playing EvE.
Luckily, CCP screwed things up quite badly, and I lost interest. If they hadn't, I'd probably be stuck playing EvE rather than living in the real world. :D

I played one hour. If you're stuck in some embassy like the noted Benghazi-based Eve player whose real life interfered, it may help keep real-life connections alive. Otherwise I would strongly advise to be your own Sim, bench press and all that. Maybe a VR version hooked to a treadmill? Anti-Cheat on these is kind of unexplored territory though...
