Good game, VERY complex. I play it on and off since 2004 but I can't do it for more than a few days/year. It's incredibly slow paced and full of politics.
Two separate IT Directors had a second PC in their office that just had Eve on it. While working with them, they didn't pay attention to it, but when we would take a break or I was setting stuff up they would hop on for a few minutes here and there. Both said it was their part time job, and they did make some ISK out of doing it. I don't know anymore details though.
It was kind of distracting in the same sense as people who hop on their phones for a minute between pages or whatever.
I'll give them this, they did pay attention to the training or whatever and I had no issues with working with them.
Alot of real money goes through EvE, sometimes in the hundred thousand dollar range
